It was finally Thursday morning. James and I had been texting each other for the last three days. He called me last night as I was getting into bed and we talked for over an hour about anything and everything it seemed. I tidied up my room and did my laundry for the week. I also made a quick lunch. It was already almost 2, and Lacy would be home soon to help me get ready for tonight. I had no idea where he was taking me, so I sent a quick text to ask.
Charlotte: Where are you taking me tonight?
It didn't take long to get a response...
James: Can't tell you. It's a secret.
Charlotte: How will I know what to wear?
James: Whatever you are wearing now is fine...
Charlotte: ...I'm wearing a bleach stained, huge t-shirt, leggings, and fuzzy blue slippers. I doubt this is appropriate.
James: Mmmmm.... sexy!
Charlotte: Really? ... At least tell me generally how to dress.
James: Dress nice.
Charlotte: Um, ok. How nice?
James: I don't know. Somewhere between a bleach stained t-shirt and a ball gown.
Charlotte: Ok smart ass... Lets try this... What are YOU wearing tonight?
James: No idea. It's only 2.
Charlotte: You're damn lucky you're cute.
James: Thanks babe!
Aaaand.... now I'm blushing....
James: I'll wear slacks with a button down and a jacket. No tie, and probably loafers.
Charlotte: Now how hard was that? I'll talk to you later, I have to go make sure I look better than you. ;)
James: You already look better than me, fuzzy blue slippers and all. I'll let you know when I'm on my way.
...
It was already after 6 and we had just finished my hair and makeup. Lacy and I couldn't agree on a dress for me to wear for the night. We had gone through my closet at least twice. I refused to even entertain the thought of looking at her clothes. I wanted tonight to be 100% me.
"CHARLOTTE! What is THIS?!" Lacy's voice came from the back of my closet. I was in the bathroom putting in my diamond earrings. My heart sank as I tried to think of what she could have found that caused such an intense reaction. She already knew about "buzz"... hell she bought "him" for me.
"What is what?" I asked as I rounded the corner. Lacy held out a plain black shopping bag. I couldn't for the life of me remember what was in it.
"Just the perfect dress for tonight. Shoved in a bag, with the tags still on it!" She said.
I reached into the bag and pulled out the soft lavender dress. It was lace with a sheer back and sides. The perfect balance of classy and sexy. I slipped out of my robe and removed my bra, since the whole back of the dress is sheer, and stepped into it. Lacy zipped me up and it was perfect. "What shoes though?" I asked.
"Hmm... try your nude strappy ones" She suggested. I put them on and stood back to take in the whole outfit. It was perfect.
"Thanks Lace!" Just then I heard my phone chime. I swiped it open and saw a text from James.
James: 5 minutes, love.
