I woke up finally feeling the way I should have been. I woke up refreshed and happy, even after the nightmare I had the night before. Don't get me wrong, I was still tense and scared but the positive affirmation I got the night before from Milo made it outweigh the negatives. I sat up and stretched and looked over at Milo. He was sleeping like a baby, mouth wide open and everything. I laughed lightly to myself when I laid on my belly and poked him.
"Hey sleepy head." I said to him as he was still fast asleep. "I made pancakes for breakfast." I tried again. "I'm going out with Alan." All of a sudden he was wide awake.
"Lanie, I wanna go." He said pouting as he opened his eyes and saw me still in my pajamas.
"I'm not going out doofus. I just wanted to see what would wake you up" I said giggling.
"Oh so that's how you want to play." He said poking me in the stomach. I wasn't ticklish and that seemed to disappoint him. "Are you not ticklish??" He asked surprised and confused all at the same time.
"Nope. Well, I get tickled in one spot but people don't even have to try to tickle the spot, it just happens naturally." I told him.
"Well, are you going to tell me where it is?" He said laughing at me.
"Maybe another time?" I said getting up and walking into my bathroom looking in the mirror. "Damn I look so gross. And I felt so good waking up." I said staring at myself as Milo walked behind me hugging me and resting his chin on the top of my head.
"I think you look good." He said honestly.
"Thanks Milo. Is this seriously my purpose? I'm just a chin rest?" I asked giggling.
"No. But it's a plus." He said. I turned around and faced him.
"Milo, we need to talk." I said seriously. "What are we? Because we always say we're friends but we also say I love you and act like a couple sometimes and I don't know where our friendship or relationship stands."
"Well, I was going to ask you if you maybe wanted to go out to dinner tonight." He said looking at me lifting my chin up so I could see him.
"Milo... I have an interview tonight and I'm performing. I wouldn't be able to." I said sadly.
"Why don't I come with you to your interview and performance and we can go to dinner afterwards?" He asked.
"Alright. But we have to treat this like a real date. So you have to go home and get ready. And I expect flowers. I like baby pink roses." I said ushering him out of my bathroom so he could change and leave. "Your keys are on the stand by the door!" I yelled to him.
"How and when did you have the time to put them there?" He asked confused.
"I'm not sure? Maybe I'm a wizard and you're under a spell of mine!" I said jokingly.
"Well in that case, I never want this spell to end! Bye Lanie! Love you! I'll pick you up at 6:30!" He yelled to me since I was still in my bathroom.
"Bye Milo! I love you!!" I yelled back and when I heard the door close I said to myself, "god what did I get myself into." I pulled my phone out and scrolled to Alexis' and Witney's contacts. I needed some help so I made a group chat and texted them to come over. They said they'd be over in 15 minutes. As I waited I headed down to my kitchen and got myself a bowl of oatmeal and fruit. I walked back to my room and saw the two of them in the doorway of my balcony. I put my food on my desk and ran to the door bringing them inside.
"Guys, I really need your help. Milo asked me on a date an-." I got interrupted mid sentence.
"MILO ASKED YOU ON A DATE?!" They squealed in unison.
"Yes, He asked me on a date. But the thing is I have an interview and performance tonight for the Late Late show you know the one with James Corden. But I don't know what to wear and I gave my stylists leave for vacation because it's technically, at least in my world, the holiday season! Do you see my dilemma?" I asked them.
"Definitely. But I don't think the two of us will be enough to get you ready in time. When is he coming?" Alexis asked.
"6:30." I said nervously.
"Witney, we need backup. Call her." Alexis ordered.
"Will do!" Witney said as she scurried out of the room.
"Wait, who are we calling?" I asked very confused.
"Emma! She'll be able to help us! She'll be over in ten!" Witney exclaimed walking back into the room. "First, we need to find the outfit you're going to wear. Lead us to your closet." I walked them into the master closet and turned on the light.
"Girl! You have all this and you wear the same things everyday?" Alexis said shocked as she walked around the closet admiring the clothes.
"Yeah." I said sheepishly. "I have a problem with buying clothes and then not wearing them."
"Yeah girl, we can see that. Half of these still have the price tag!" Witney said laughing.
"Oh my goodness! Witney!! I think this is perfect! Don't you?" Alexis asked.
"Yes!! Okay, Lanie you have to wear this one! We can curl your hair and do your makeup to match!" She said holding up a floral maxi romper.
