Dare Me

Chapter 4

*Amira's POV*

   I woke up this morning around 10:30. Thank god I didn't have to work today. I make my way towards the bathroom so I can shower. I look in the mirror, and I swear I scared the living shit out of myself. My hair was all over the place, my makeup was all over my face, it was not a vry pretty sight. 

   I start the water and go out to the hall so that I can get a towel and stuff. I go back into the bathroom and get undressed, I hop into the shower and wash off all of the makeup, then I wash my hair and my body. Once I'm through, I jump out of the shower and brush my hair and my teeth. I go into my room and pull out some high-waisted black jeans, a white blouse, and some tan flats. I go into the kitchen and make breakfast. My sisters aren't up yet so this is my opportunity. I get out the things I need and start to prepare eggs, bacon, gravy, sausage, and I make some biscuits from scratch. When I finish making everything Autumn comes sauntering into the kitchen. "Well good morning sunshine. Want some breakfast?" I giggle. She nods and I make her a plate. She takes it from me and I make my plate sitting next to her. 

  "So, I'm thinking about calling Michael here in a little bit. Do you think I should?" I ask as I take a sip of my orange juice. "I think you should, he's coming to pick you up later right?" I nod. "Then yes, you should. You still need to give him the address, genius." She giggles. I roll my eyes at my stupidity and laugh. Bre comes into the kitchen and prepares her own plate, sitting down in front of me and Autumn. "So, Amira, Michael, huh?" She says, wiggling her eyebrows. I laugh, "oh my gosh! I only met him yesterday, he came into the shop with this really silly disguise on." I say, they nod their head for me to continue. "So, I take his order and the whole time all I could think about was how familiar he looked.", "then, when I asked was his name was for his order, he said Michael. So then I get to thinking, and then I ask him if his last name was Jackson." I continue. They nod, urging me to go on.  "So he's all like 'how'd you know?' I tell him that it's pretty obvious since he was standing right in front of me. So he laughs and then I try to pay for his drink and doughnut and he wouldn't let me so I he paid for his stuff and then pulled out a pen from his shirt pocket and then he wrote a number down on a napkin and handed it to me, telling me to call him." I say finally. They squeal and hug me, I laugh at their excitement and hug them back. "Are you guys okay with all of this?" I ask them. They nod, "we're more than okay with it! We know how much you love him so we're happy for you." Autumn replies, I nod and smile. 

  I get up from the table and put my dishes into the sink and wash them off. I go back to my room and sit on my bed and read a little bit of Gone With the Wind, one of my favorite books. After about an hour of reading, I decide to call Michael. After about 3 rings he finally picks up.

M=Michael A=Amira

M= Hello?

A= Hey, Michael! It's Amira.

M= Oh, well, hello Amira. Are you ready for tonight? 

A= Yes! I can't wait! Would you like to go ahead and write down my address?

M= Sure, let me get a piece of paper and a pen. 

-Michael shuffles around trying to find some paper and a pen-

M= okay, got it! 

A= 301 Cherry Street, Dallas Texas, 29056

M= Thank you, Amira. I'll see you around seven, or is it alright if I come over now?

A= of course it's okay! I have nothing to do today. 

M=-chuckles- alright, I'll see you in about 10 minutes. 

A= okay, sounds good! Bye, Michael.

M= bye, Amira.

-End of phone conversation-

"Breanna, Autumn!" I shout. They come into my room and sit down on opposite sides of my bed. "What's up lil sis?" Autumn says. "Michael is coming over in like 10 minutes." They get excited and nod. They get up and leave the room so I can put on a little bit of makeup. I put on some eyeliner and mascara, I curl my hair a little bit too. By the time I'm finished with everything, I hear a knock on the front door. I get up and go answer it to see a very well dressed Michael on my doorstep. I smile and let him in, he gives me a hug and kisses my cheek causing me to blush like an idiot. "Hello, Michael." I say shyly. He smiles at me, causing my heart to melt. "Hello there." he responds. We go into the living room to see Autumn sitting in the recliner, Michael and I sit down on the couch. "Hey, Michael! It's nice to see you again." Autumn exclaims. "Same to you, Autumn." Michael responds with a smile. 

   "Where will you be taking her for tonight?" She asks excitedly. I roll my eyes, he leans over and whispers something into her ear that makes her squeal. She looks at me and winks. "You're going to have a wonderful time, Mira." She says, wiggling her eyebrows. 

  We sit there and talk with Autumn for a little bit, goofing off and having an all around wonderful time. "I still can't believe that the man that we've all looked up to since we were babies is sitting in our living room, having a good time with us. Am I dreaming?" Bre asks, she came in a little bit after Michael had gotten here. We all laugh at her statement. "Well, it isn't a dream! In fact, I want Amira to finish touring with me." Michael states, looking over at me. My eyes widen with excitement. "Wait, really?!" I exclaim. He nods and I look over at my sisters who are both mouthing yes and shaking their heads like mad people. I smile, "yes, Michael. I'd love to tour with you!" He smiles widely and hugs me. 

  We talk with Breanna and Autumn a little longer before it's time for me to go change and touch up my makeup a little bit. "Michael, what do I need to wear for this date?" I ask, because in all honesty, I had no idea where we were going and how I needed to dress. "Dress nicely, you dress nice already, but you know what I mean." He giggles. I nod my head and follow my sister to her room. 

   By the time Autumn was finished with me, I looked so much different. I was wearing a blue knee length, strapless dress that was kind of sparkly. It was beautiful. I had my signature eyeliner, mascara and red lips, and my hair is thick curls. I grab my black clutch and slide on some black heels and we head back into the living room. Autumn goes in before me because she said she wants Michael's reaction to be priceless. 

  "Behold, my drop dead gorgeous, little sister, Amira!" She says, I giggle and strut into the living room playfully. Michael's face was the best, I swear his mouth looked like it was about to drop to the floor. He stood up, and he was speechless. He walked over to me and took my hand, "you look stunning." He states, biting his lip making my cheeks turn bright red. "Thank you." I look down. 

  "Are you ready to go?" Michael asks. I nod and we make our way out of the door. "Have fun!" My sisters shout in unison. I wave at them as I get into Michael's Rolls Royce. He shuts the door and goes around to the drivers side, getting into the car. He starts the car and we pull out of the driveway, going towards wherever he's taking me. 

  This is going to be a magical night, I can feel it...
