Texas To California

California

He left as I was cleaning. I'd hope that he looked at my butt, otherwise I was sticking it out for no reason. As soon as I was done cleaning up I started getting ready. I had about 4 hours. I looked through my clothes and my shoes. I couldn't find anything really nice. I threw on a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a pair of sneakers. I grabbed the key off the table and my purse. I googled the closest clothing store and headed off. It only took about 15 minutes to walk there, without running. I texted him and asked him what kind of clothes to wear. Half way through browsing cute crop-tops and cute jeans, I heard my phone sound off. I looked at the screen. "Dress lax" He had replied. What does "dress lax" even mean? I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans that were ripped all the way up and a tight light gray t-shirt. As I was walking to the dressing room I saw a cute pair of gray thigh-high boots. I grabbed a pair in my size and continued to the dressing room. As I pulled over the t-shirt I took a breath in. I thought I looked damn cute but that was the problem. I needed to look sexy not cute. I took the clothes off and the boots but kept the boots in my hand as I looked through the dresses. There was a short black dress with rips in the sides and a green one with elbow length sleeves and rips in the front just above my chest. I went with the green one and checked out. As I walked back to the apartment I noticed I still had 3 hours. I stopped at another clothing store and bought a couple pairs of jeans and some t-shirts. I also bought a new bra and a simple necklace with a c on it. After I shopped I stopped at starbucks and got a tea. I walked back to the apartment with 7 bags in my hands. As I opened the door my phone went off again. I laid my shopping bags on the small kitchen table. "2 Hours until I get to see you." He sent. I smiled at my phone but hurried to put my clothes on as soon as I realized he said 2 hours. I put on the new thong and the green push up bra that matches my green tight dress. I put on the necklace and small earrings on. I rumpled my hair up a bit and let it fall naturally. I put some mascara on and then rolled up thigh-high black stockings and then put the boots on. I walked around a bit and folded my hands wondering where we are gonna go. As I was finishing putting all my clothes up I heard the front door being unlocked. "Hey C! You home?!" A woman called. I froze and stood immediately. At the bedroom door I froze but then casually walked into the living room. "No, he's at work. Or should be on his way home soon." I said announcing myself. "And who are you?" She asked crossing her arms. "I'm his girlfriend, T." I said resting my hands on my thighs as I sat on the arm of the couch. She pulled her phone out and called someone. "Hey, yeah C. Who is at your place?" She asked him. I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, you better hurry." She said hanging up. She walked past me and into the kitchen, and went into the laundry room. I picked at my nails while watching her start folding laundry that was in the dryer. Who the fuck is this girl.  I thought to myself. Before I could think too much about it the door unlocked and he was standing there worry on his face. "Hey, Kate. How's it going?" He asked as she came into view. I folded my arms around myself and looked down. "C, you didn't tell me she was coming this week." She kind of whined resting her elbows on the kitchen counter. "Uh, yeah I did you just never listen. What a good friend you are." When he said the word friend I almost sighed out a big breath. "Yeah, whatever. By the way I like you." She said. I looked up not expecting for her to be talking to me but she was dead locked on me. "C, she's real calm. Way better than them crazy bitches you been dating." I smiled when she said that. "Oh gee thanks Kate. Anyways we gotta get going. Kate when you are done borrowing my washer and dryer can you lock the door behind you?" He smiled at her without waiting for a reply. Grabbing my hand he shut the door fast behind us. "Im so sorry I forgot she had to wash clothes. See she's living at a dorm and their washers arent that great. And weve been friends for awhile so I let her borrow mine. The key isn't even hers, its the extra under the mat." He rambled on and I grabbed his arm to stop him. "Not even a wow, oh my god, you look so amazing!" I said raising a brow at him. He looked at me sad. "Oh my god im so sorry you look beautiful babe." He said kissing me. I laughed at him and kissed him back. We walked down to the garage and got into his silver Volkswagen. The seats were leather and cool against my skin which surprised me because it was extremely hot here. "So, where are we going?" I asked. He just looked over at me and smiled looking me up and down resting easily on my cleavage. "A really good barbecue place. Then after a surprise. I'm gonna make you're visit worth it." He said resting his hand on my thigh. I leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

We arrived at the barbecue pit restaurant moments later. It took us about 2 hours to eat because we got lost talking about what we wanted to continue doing with our lives. He was an intern for the police department and I was going to start college for accounting. I dreamed of working my way to owning my own business, I just didn't know exactly what business I wanted to run yet. During the whole dinner he never took his eyes off me and I couldn't keep my eyes off him. He was perfect for me, almost too perfect but I couldn't let my self doubt show now. After we finished at the restaurant he drove me to the holly wood sign. The view was so perfect and the most amazing thing I've ever seen. "T, you're the most beautiful girl I've ever seen. I'm so happy to finally be in your presence and I can tell that we are meant to be. I hope I am the guy you were hoping for and then some. I really want us to be able to see each other more often and was thinking that maybe you would want to come stay with me when I get to Texas to start my job?" C asked me trying to not pressure me into saying yes. I could almost start crying but I guess I had waited to long to reply because he looked away. "Or maybe moving in together is too soon?" He asked still looking away. "No!" I said pulling his gaze back to me, "I'd love to move in with you." I said pulling his hand into mine. He kissed me then and pulled me to him. "I wanna marry you T." He said into my hair. I gushed at the words and held onto him tighter looking up at him for a kiss. He kissed me deeply grabbing my face aggressively.
