When I woke up the next morning, it took a few minutes recall the events of the evening before, the memories washed over me, the rain, the smell of him as I cuddled him under the umbrella, the beautiful eyes. A large smile spread across my face as I remembered that tonight I have a date with him!
I crawled out of bed and to the shower, surprisingly chirpy considering I hadn't had my coffee yet, I shaved my legs and used my strawberry scented shower gel, body butter and body mist. When I was finally satisfied with myself I padded back to my room. I pulled on a pair of dark denim shorts with a white printed tshirt and went to the salon appointment I had booked weeks ago. I drove to the salon despite it being 10 minutes away and when I was settled in the chair my phone buzzed. I pulled it out my pocket and read the screen.
Josh- "Morning Beautiful :D x" that big smile made a re-appearance and I chuckled at myself, I think it was going to become a permanent feature on my face when it came to Josh. I quickly typed back,
"Hey Handsome, how you doing? X"
"Josh- Im good, you? x"
"Im good, tired though as usual... what you upto? x"
"Josh- Tired? Aww baby, were you thinking about me all night? So excited you couldn't even sleep, im so flattered :P... I have the entire day off so im just going to be hanging in my hotel room, or watching footie, you? x"
"Haha rockstar! No I slept like a baby, im just a lazy ass in the morning! Im at the salon, then I'll be relaxing at home, well until tonight... What is the plan for tonight anyway? X"
Josh- "Rockstar? Really? Well the plan for tonight is all minor details which is all a surprise for you... just be ready at 7pm tonight and I'll pick you up x"
"Okay then, I guess it's You Me At Seven then :P x" and with that I put my phone down. Come on the reference had to be made! 3 hours later I emerged from the salon, I had my hair trimmed to elbow length and honey and caramel highlights in my dark brown hair. My hairdresser had blow dryed my hair and curled it so it now hung down my back in lots of ringlets and applied a very generous dose of hairspray on to ensure they stayed in.
As I pulled up in the driveway to my house, my phone buzzed again another text message from Josh. "Elissa (my sister) said I should tell you that you should wear something very dressy for tonight. Apparently, it wouldn't be fair to spring such a surprise on you. I hope you speak girl because I certainly don't! x"
'Very dressy?' and 'Such a Surprise?' Just what had that boy got planned for me huh? I quickly replied "Yes I can speak girl, very well actually, may have something to do with being a girl but I'm not sure... I must have learnt from my mother, I guess. Tell her I said Thankyou and the message was received. x"
Well 5pm came round the corner, I went upstairs to my room, I painted my nails with Nails Inc Electric Avenue (a really glittery silver) and spritzed more strawberry body mist. I chose a red knee length strapless dress, with delicate silver and black oriental flower prints all over. It had a satin sash that was tyed at the side just under the bust showing off my waist. I had a black clutch bag and black satin high heels with diamante's on them. I pinned half my hair up into a bun and let the rest of the curls fall down my back. A 4 row diamante collar necklace and bracelet and silver wrap finished my outfit. I looked in the mirror and gasped, I had to admit my work had paid off. The glittery eyeshadow highlighted my eyes and my foundation covered all my acne scars without making me look fake. The outfit complimented my body and the shoes made me look a million dollars. I just really hope Josh thought the same.
**7pm**
Knock knock knock.
The little girl in my head screamed "eeeeeeeee" half with excitement and half with nerves, this was it. I stood up, smoothed down my dress, checked my hair and opened the door.
Josh let out a wolf whistle, "Oh wow, Ally, you look stunning" his eyes looked me up and down, taking in the dress, the shoes, the hair and make-up. i smiled with happiness and replied "I could definitely say the same about you too!".
He had brushed his hair so it was smooth but still in the 'rocker boy' style I liked, he wore a charcoal grey suit with a pale blue shirt, a light grey tie and black shoes. The shirt bought out the colours in his eyes so much more and I stood mesmerised. He brought his arm up for me to take and I did so. We locked the door and he led me to his car a black Ferrari f430 coupe. My butterflies returned but I ignored caring only about the boy on my arm and wondering what this night would hold.
