"Scariest experience of my life"

I get a notification:

1 missed call from Mar🥺💜     

I call him back.

Mar: hi mamas, imma pick you up later alright?

Mila: oh, why?

Mar: I'm gonna take you on that date like I promised.

Mila: where, I need to know what to wear.

Mar: ooh, where that cute little flower dress you always wear.

Mila: i haven't worn that in over a year Mar. it probably doesn't even fit anymore.

Mar: even better ;)

Mila: shut up.

Mar: it's not like it'll be on the whole night shorty.

Mila: I'm gonna pretend like you didn't just say that. What time.

Mar: 6.

Mila: ok, bye bubba. I'll see you later.

Mar: okay, bye beautiful.

I hang up the call.

Okay, 3 hours is enough time, right?

I do my daily routine, and try and find the flower dress he wants me to wear.

Okay, perfect. Thank god it still fits... barely.

I do my regular makeup routine: concealer, mascara, blush, high light, and a tiny bit of eyeliner.

It's 5:45 by now, and so I'm just waiting for Mar.

My dad walks in.

Pa: your mom wants you to- oh honey, bellissima! You look gorgeous.

I twirl around to show off my dress.

Mila: you like it?

Pa: i love it. Where are you going?

Mila: oh, Mar planned out this date. He's picking me up soon.

Pa: ah, a date. When he gets here I want to have a talk with him. You know, set the ground rules.

Mila: pa, you already know Mar.

Pa: yeah, but now he's dating my only daughter, so.

Mila: fine.

We both hear a knock at the door. My dad jogs over to the door and he opens it to reveal a smiling Mar, holding daisies.

I run up and give him a hug.

Mila: daisies. My favorite. How did you know?

Mar: Mattia.
