Can you be my date?

Plan

Val's Pov: I just made it back to my place to find my brother cooking breakfast and I am going to tell my plan the day.

" My plan is to ask Laurie to be my girlfriend over dinner tonight so I am going to need your help to set everything up in time." I tell Mak's vaguely

" How do you want to do this?" Mak's asks me

" I want to set up a really nice dinner overlooking L.A. And then during dinner ask her or something" I tell Mak's

" I'm in" He tells me

" Okay, we need to figure out a few things" I tell Mak's

Mak's and I sit down at my kitchen table and got the rest of the plan worked out.

" Okay, You are in charge of what is for dinner and the date being set up. You have until before sundown for everything to be done but you are also going to be our server and I don't care who you recruit to help you " I tell Mak's

" Okay. I got it from here. Don't worry about a thing " He tells me

" Okay. I'm going to go get a shower and head to the store to get rose petals and set something cute up at her house" I tell Mak's as I head to the stairs

" Okay. I will probably be gone by the time you leave" He tells me

" Okay " I tell him as I start up the stairs to my room

After I got showered and changed into some new clothes I headed downstairs to find that Mak's wasn't here anymore.

I grabbed my car keys and drove to the nearest store and bought rose petals. After I got the rose petals I texted Laurie to make sure that she was still at the grocery store, After I knew that she was still gone I drove to Laurie's place and grabbed the spare key under the welcome mat.

I started to strategically place rose petals leading to Laurie's bedroom and a note on her bed saying.

'Be Ready by 6. Wear something nice. I love you babe.'

I left and went back to my place to get ready and check in with Mak's.

When I got back to my place it was 2:45 in the afternoon and I found Peta, my brothers fiancé in my kitchen with Mak's looking up upscale dinner ideas for tonight for Laurie and I online.

" Hey, Peta. Hey, Mak's." I tell them

" Hey, Val. What are thinking about for dinner tonight?" Peta asks me

" I don't know. Something simple but also elegant" I tell her

" Okay" Peta tells me satisfied with my answer

" Okay. Mak's , Do you have everything ready?" I ask my older brother starting to stress

" Yes. Don't get stressed out over this. I have everything under control." He tells me confidently

For the Hour and a half I laid everything that I would be wearing out and then I went to my brother's room and laid everything out for him because knowing him he will do it at the last minute.

I went back to my room and started to get ready for the date when I heard my bathroom door open. I opened the shower curtain to reveal My brother standing in my bathroom.

" Mak's, What do you need?" I ask

" Why did you pick out my clothes for me?" Mak's asks me

" Because I want everything to be perfect and knowing you you will get your clothes laid out at the very last minute and will end up giving me a heart attack" I tell my brother pointedly

" Quit worrying. Everything will be perfect" Mak's assures me

I here my bathroom door close signaling that Mak's has left my bathroom. I got out of the shower a few minutes later and started to get ready.

After I was dressed in my tux and had my shoes on and my hade my hair gelled I headed downstairs to fin Mak's and Peta waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs.

" Mak's, I love you. But hot damn. Val you look good" Peta tells me

" It's Okay, Babe. I love you too. And Peta is right little bro you look good. Laurie is going to faint when she see's you" He tells me

" Okay. Well, I am going to go get dressed" Mak's tells me and heads upstairs

Peta was already dressed so now we are only waiting on Mak's.

" Are you nervous?" Peta asks me

" I am more nervous now than I have ever been competing" I tell her

" Don't worry. Everything is going to be perfect" Peta tells me with a smile on her face

Mak's walked down the stairs and he and I grabbed our car keys and headed outside.

" You two are going to follow me to Laurie's and from there we will drive to the place where dinner will be" I tell them and they nod

We headed to our cars and I started to pull out of the driveway with Mak's and Peta behind me.

We started the 15 minute drive to Laurie's place. As I drove I had a nagging feeling in the pit of my stomach but I wrote it off as nerves.

We made it to Laurie's place and I got out of my car and went and knocked on the door but no one answered the door. After knocking a few more times I grabbed the key from underneath the mat and walked inside and I saw Laurie...
