I hear the doorbell ring and answer it expecting to find Ken standing there, but instead, I find Dex standing on my doorstep. I let my arm fall to my side and sigh.

"What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to apologize about the other night," he says taking in my outfit. "Are you going somewhere?" he asks surprised and I nod.

"Yeah, I'm going on a date," I inform him.

"A date?"

"Yes, is it so hard to believe someone would be interested in me?"

"No, of course not but what about us?"

"What about us? What we did the other night was wrong. We both fucked but it won't happen anymore," I tell him. "We both just need to move on with our lives. That was the plan when you asked me for one night. One time and that's it. Now it's time for us to move on."

"I can't," he says frustrated. "I was a moron for saying that." I give him a sad smile and know I could tell him I told you so but there's no point. We both messed up and we just have to try and move forward without each other.

"Well, try, because I'm moving on," I say, and right on cue Ken walks up behind him.

"Am I interrupting something?" Ken asks, feeling the tension.

"Not at all," I say with a bright smile, feeling giddy to see him all dressed up for me. I walk back into my apartment, grab my purse and step outside, locking the door behind me. "I'll see you around," I tell Dex and extend my hand towards Ken, who takes my hand in his, leading me away from my past mistakes and towards what I hope is my future with him.

"You look beautiful," he tells me.

"Thanks. You look gorgeous," I compliment him, making him grin.

"I don't think I've ever been called that."

"Well, there's always a first for everything."

He stops us in our tracks when we're a safe distance away from Dex and tells me to turn, lifting my hand above my head. I twirl and he whistles as he takes in my black jumpsuit that flatters my curves with its lace sleeves and lace bodice. It has a sweetheart neckline that reveals just the right amount of cleavage, leaving plenty to the imagination. My favorite detail about the whole thing is the choker that has a button closure at the back of my neck. I don't know why, but I love the feel of the soft fabric against my neck. My jumpsuit also has a gorgeous lace cut out design in the back and a small hidden zipper above my butt. The pant legs are fitted at the top and flare out towards the bottom, making my legs look longer.

I chose this jumpsuit for our first date because it's not over the top and makes me feel good in my own skin and just sexy

I chose this jumpsuit for our first date because it's not over the top and makes me feel good in my own skin and just sexy. I don't feel sexy in many outfits, but I am feeling myself tonight in my jumpsuit and black pumps. I finished off my look with a more natural makeup look, wanting my jumpsuit to be the focus of my look and by the looks of Ken's gaze, he approves very much.
