*triggering images*

My heart was thumping in its cage. I was going on a date with lion Wilkins. I never thought this day would come from what I have experienced. I didn't think I would be safe let alone going on a date. a smile plastered across my face as I sat down, I heard the door knock lightly.

"come in!" I shouted not knowing who it could be as lion had already left with his suit.

I twirled in my seat waiting patiently for the person to come in as the door opened. An old lady strode in that looked about fifty but good for her age with a box in her hand. It surprised me, I didn't ask for anything. "Hello dear master Wilkins asked me to bring this to you" she placed the box down on the bed and shot me a smile.

which I gratefully returned and then made her way out of the room. What was he doing now and did that lady really call him master Wilkins? I keep forgetting he was made of money. I rolled my eyes at the fancy box he had the lady bring. It was black with a satin ribbon on it. I looked at the box and there was a note that read.

"Here you go, a gown to go with the princess, meet me at the rose garden behind the house love, lion" my heart grew stronger for the man that gave me this I had never been spoiled so much in my life.

I pulled the gown out and my breath disappeared as in the place of the tissue paper lay a gorgeous champagne silk gown. It was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

I pulled the dress out of the box and ran to the bathroom to get changed when I slipped the soft garment over my body it clung to me perfectly it extenuated my hips and waist and it made me glow for some reason if anyone can relate it's like it was made for me, I know that sounds weird but it does I can't believe lion picked this out himself. 

it's like when it's your wedding and you search all day for the perfect dress and when you put one of them on and you instantly know it's the one it's like that but with a normal dress it felt so special and since he picked the dress it made me even happier. I walked out of the bathroom where I finished curling my hair to soft flowing curls and my brown Smokey eye makeup to grab my gold clutch and my gold strappy heels and made my way down the stairs where I was greeted with the gang that then led me to the rose garden, I was thankful my bruises had healed yeah, I had a few scars but nothing that made my body undesirable.

 I looked up at the gang as I made my way down the stairs carefully making sure I didn't trip on the dress or my heels it had been a while since I had worn heels the last time Vinni made me go out with her to a lunch with her family and it was formal yeah Mr. Calvin was not happy about it but I had a good time so I ignored him they all had a smile on their faces It was kind of creepy if you ask me like what's the deal right lion has probably been on numerous dates before so what made this one special to them.
