"It's a bit formal. Dress accordingly, I'll pick u up at 7:30"

I got his text just as I was about to fall into sleep, my 2nd round of the day.

I checked the time. It was still just 2 so I decided to continue with my 2nd round and care about it later.

°°°

While eating takeout for lunch, I wondered what should I wear...

He asked to dress formally....so..

Maybe I could wear that evening dress or maybe that red one..
No, not red- too flashy, too many eyes. It's fine if I'm attending a wedding or some family function but not this date.

What am I saying? This is not a date. He never said so!

You must be thinking I'm delusional.

But, he didn't really call it a date, is that why I am so blue?

Blue!
Yes!
Blue would be perfect!

I rushed to my wardrobe, tossing the empty takeout box in the bin, looking for that blue gown I had
And....
I...
Found ya'! I took it off the rail and held it before me, checking it out in the mirror.

I don't know...this seems..kinda...too blue...

That's when my gaze fell upon the one behind it.

This. Is. Perfect.
Absolutely perfect.
Made to be worn by me today. Tonight, I mean.

I put it on my bed and decided to do something with this miserable face of mine.

I cleaned and exfoliated my hangover face(u) and put on a mask while I checked my accessories to see which one will go better with the dress...

It was 7 when Ho texted-
Ready?

I had just painted my nails so I didn't wanna take even a 0.1% chance of getting it ruined so I called him instead of replying.

"Almost but where are you taking us?" I asked.

"You'll see. " I just imagined him smirking with mischief.

"Ugh...fine. What are you wearing?" I asked to make it less awkward.

"We don't have much choice you know..." He replied.

And yeah, he's right.

What choices do boys have anyway? Either tuxedo or something for formal, shirts for a bit casual and tees for home.
My dad has got just a few pairs of shorts and pants and jeans and the print of his shirt always ended up being matched with some other uncle's shirt.

Suddenly, I feel sorry for boys.

Variety is the spice of life man!

Oh my nailpaint's dry enough now.

"I'll send u a pic." With that, he ended the call and I received a notification saying that he sent me a pic.

I opened it.
