Love is everything

Pre-First Date {19}

*Alice's POV*

It's been three days since Sam asked me to a date. I've been busy and as we planned to go to the amusement park on our first date, we decided to wait until the weekend to have all day to enjoy the date.

"What about this?" I ask as I try the nth set of clothes. Karen has been here all night, we've been talking about our love life. It seems that she and Amanda, Mrs. Roberts, had made up. Amanda broke up with her husband and they're in the process of divorce. Karen said that Amanda told her that she didn't love him anymore, that it was unfair to him and Karen to continue doing this. They're not together, together, Karen said that they're going on dates as friends until things calm down, and also to give time to Amanda to think if this is what she really wants. She's the best, I'm a little jealous of her, she really loves Amanda. Instead, what I get, are secrets, more secrets and more secrets. I sigh, I know that she needs time to open up, but at the same time, I want her to trust me. I hope that this date goes well.

"It's not bad." Karen says, looking at me from head to toe with an approving look.

"But?" She looks at me arching an eyebrow. "You said it's not bad. So what it is? Why it's not good enough?" She groans.

"Alice, I'm just tired. We've been trying," she stops as she sees my face. "fine, you have been trying these outfits for two hours! I'm tired of you and your clothes now."

"Whatever." I say as I go to try another outfit.

"Gosh! Why me? Why the hell am I your friend?" She yells-asks as I hear her fall on the bed.

"Because you love me." I answer her laughing. "What about this?" She raises her head to look at me without moving from the bed.

"It's good." I arch an eyebrow at her.

"Did you learnt from our little conversation?" She laughs.

"Yeah, I did, but I'm serious Alice. She will be stunned, whether you go like this or with a plastic bag." She laughs at her own joke and I just chuckle.

"Sure, she'll be stunned to see me doing the ridicule on our first date." I tell her as I go to change, again.

"I doubt it. Did you see how she looks at you? I'm sure that she will think that you're the most beautiful person in the world, doesn't matter what you're wearing." She stops as I look at her. Is she serious? I see her arch an eyebrow, and I got goosebumps. Damn, what is she- "And don't even talk if you're not wearing anything..." She says suggestively as my mouth falls to the floor and she starts to laugh hysterically. Damn this woman. I go to her as I pick a pillow and start hitting her. She tries to stop me, but thankfully, she's laughing so hard that I'm stronger. We start to fight with the pillows as we laugh until we hear the bell ring. I stop on my tracks when I hear it. Damn it, she's already here? Damn Karen, I get up from the bed as I look at Karen.

"Am I fine?" I ask her nervously. She smiles as she kneels on the bed looking at me in the eyes.

"You're beautiful Alice. Now go get your girl, you wouldn't want to make her wait on your first date. Would you?" She says teasing me. I laugh at her and I hug her.

"Thanks." I kiss her on the cheek and go to open the door. As I reach the door, I stop for a second to calm myself and then I open it. And there she is, Sam, she's wearing jeans and a basic T-shirt. I laugh as I see this, it's simple, but somehow, her aura makes it seem like it's the most amazing outfit in the world, she's beautiful doesn't matter what she's wearing. As I think this, Karen words came to my mind and I blush.

"Hi." Sam says, making me snap out of my thoughts, I shouldn't be thinking about this.

"Hi, I just need a second, come on in." I say getting out of the way so she can enter. I close the door after her and go after her to the living room.

"Hi, Sam. How are you?" Karen says as she's getting out of my room.

"All fine. How are you?" Sam asks politely.

"Tired, you don't know how nervous Alice-"

"Karen!" I yell at her before she can tease me more. "Are you not leaving?" Karen looks at me as the evil smile forms on her face. Oh oh, please no, Karen-

"So... Sam, did you know that-" Of course she is doing it.

"Karen!" I yell at her again interrupting her. She laughs crazily, before walking to Sam and I approach Sam trying to get her away from Sam. "Please Karen." I said pleading. She sighs before smiling at Sam and winking at her.

"See ya' later." Karen says leaving the room. "Oh, and Alice. I want the details later." I groan at her remark, couldn't she just leave peacefully? Sam laughs and I look at her.

"Do you think this is funny?" I ask her with a tint of anger in my voice, as she hears my tone she stops laughing and looks at me.

"I think is funny. You're really good friends, I'm a little jealous." She says smirking. Ugh! I hate her! I feel my cheeks wam up and I run for my life to the bedroom where I get my purse and I try to calm down, but as I hear Sam laughing it only makes it harder. A few second later, I get out of my room, and Sam it's still waiting in the same place that she was when I left, smiling like a fool which only makes me smile too.

"Did I tell you how beautiful you are today?" I smile even more if possible as I hear her say that, but then I think of how she made fun of me earlier and I decide to tease her as payback.

"So, you think that the other times you saw me I wasn't beautiful?" I ask as I arch an eyebrow and I see her flinch, gosh, this is going to be fun.

"That-" She starts but she doesn't know what to say and I start laughing, she's so cute when she is nervous. "I hate you." I just laugh even harder when I hear her say that.

"No, you don't." I say between laughs.

"No, I don't." She says seriously and that makes me stop, I look at her and I see her smirking. Gosh, she played me. I look at her mad, but she starts laughing. I walk to her with a serious face, or the best that I can get, at least. She stops laughing when I'm just a few steps away from her and I hear her gulp.

"So, you don't hate me..." I say, smirking and caressing her arm slowly with my hand.

"No." Sam says faintly as I just continue smirking and caressing her arm. "I don't." She reaches for my arm, stopping me and then looking at my lips, but she stops and looks at my eyes. "We should get going." She turns around and starts leaving, letting me there shocked, but before leaving the room, she turns around and asks me. "Are you coming?" I look at her and I see her with a smirk on her face. Gosh, what are you doing to me Sam?
