It was half an hour before Nate was picking me up and I still hadn't decided what to wear. I called Tessa.
"Tessa's whore house, if you have the dough, we have the hoe," She chirps into the phone.
"Tess, I need fashion advice," I tell her, ignoring her strange greeting which was actually pretty normal for her.
"Ooh, Mr Blue Ridge get you to say yes to a date already?" She sounds excited.
"No, we're going to a bonfire with Jesse and Rachelle," I tell her, staring hopelessly into the closet that I had arranged this afternoon. "I've never been to a bonfire before, I don't know how to dress."
"Okay, you know your cute white dress with the three quarter length sleeves? That cause then you won't get too cold. And your brown boots," After all the times that we have gotten ready together Tess knows my closet better than I do.
"Thanks, Tess, I don't know what I'd do without you," I tell her gratefully, putting her on speakerphone to pull the dress out of my closet and put it on.
"Not wear clothes?" We laugh. "What time is he picking you up? I assume he's picking you up?"
"Yeah, he insisted, he'll be here in 20," I shout across the room to my phone, pulling on my well-worn cowboy boots, they'd been a present from Luke when I first started college.
"You better get a move on! Wear your hair down," She instructs me.
"Already done, and makeup, I just got stuck on the outfit," I tuck my phone into my purse.
"So how is Blue Ridge?" she asks.
"Small, but so far I've seen Walmart, the park, my house, and Nate's house," I sit cross-legged on my bed, setting an alarm on my phone for a few minutes before Nate is supposed to be here.
"Well get that hunky cowboy to give you a tour!" Her shouts come out of my phone, making me pull it away from my ear.
"I don't need a tour, I'll enjoy exploring on my own. The park is super close and it's got a small lake and everything," We converse for a few more minutes before I hang up, deciding I should probably let Luke know I'm heading out for the evening, he worries too much. I find him and Charlie sat at the Island talking over some plays.
"Hey, I'm going out to a bonfire tonight with Nate and some friends, I won't be back late," I tell them, grabbing a granola bar to eat quickly.
"Is there something going on with you and Nate?" Luke looks at me suspiciously, raising an eyebrow.
"No," I decline, shaking my head, "He's just helping me settle in and make some friends here, we're meeting Rachelle and Jesse there."
"If you say so," He shrugs unbelievingly as we hear a knock at the door. "Don't drink too much," He calls after me as I go to open it.
"Never do!" I shout back.
I pull the door open to reveal Nate, he's dressed casually; a white t-shirt and blue flannel, with blue jeans and boots similar to mine, yet he still manages to look amazing.
"Ready to go?" He asks.
" Yep," I step out the door, shutting it behind me.
"You look pretty," He tells me as we walk side by side towards his car.
"Thanks, you look nice too," I tell him, blushing from his compliment.
He steps ahead of me to open the passenger door of the old chevvy truck, gesturing for me to climb in.
