EBONY
A WEEK LATER
I'm chopping up some onions for my sauce when I hear the doorbell ring. I put the knife down and wipe my hands on my apron while I head to the door. When I open the door I see a handsome man in a tuxedo holding a bouquet of flowers and a large square black velvet box. My face has a confused expression. He smiles at me kindly. "Ms. Ebony?" I nod my head yes at his answer. And when I do he hands me the flowers and bouquet. I notice a note on the velvet box. He tips his hat saying goodbye and walks back to his car. I re-enter my apartment and go to my room laying the flowers and box on my bed.
I hear my door creak open. I look over and see Zena coming in. " What's in the box Ebi? Who's it from?" She seemed excited and wanted to know what the surprise was. I smiled at her. " I'm not sure baby, but there's a note. I'm gonna read it, give me a second."
Mi Amore, you don't know how many times I think of you in one sitting. Your beautiful dark skin. Your plump and luscious lips. Your thick ass and thighs. Your beautiful innocent eyes. Anyways I'm going out tonight...wanna come with? Get ready by 8:00.

I realize I'm smiling goofily like a teenager when Zena looks at me crazy. "What's it say?" Her expression was curious. " Um...he asked me on a date tonight!" Zena started clapping and jumping with excitement. "Will Auntie Jen be coming over to stay with me while your out?" I smiled at her "Yes she will!" I opened the velvet box and gasped at the dress that laid in there.
It was a beautiful dark orange silk dress. I dragged my fingertips over the fabric. "Oh, it's so pretty! It's so bright its gonna look beautiful with your skin!" "I'm so excited I'm going to have to start getting ready in a few hours! I'm making lunch it's only going to take a little while until it's ready you could watch some tv in the meantime."

"Hey, Lily how are you? it's been a while since I've spoken to you." "It's been good." My older sister greeted me over the phone. "Are you coming to the business party later today? You know your gonna need a date or else people are going to be gossiping and think that your a punk ass bitch because you know Ashley has moved on their gonna think you still love her." She dictated "Damn it Lily I know that!" I growled across the line at her. "I got someone alright!? Stop bossing me around."
"Whatever dude, anyways I have to go get ready and find a dress bye. Love you." "Love you too bye."

" Hey, Jensy I'm going out tonight could you come over and watch over Zena for me please?" "Girl of course! We are going to have so much fun! She's going to love me!" "Oh, Jensy thank you so much!" We hang up the phone and I hurry to my room to get ready. I take a nice warm bath with my signature coconut and pineapple smell. I dry up and apply some lotion. I put on my bathrobe and sit in front of my mirror. I apply a light amount of foundation.
Thank God for clear skin. I head to my bed to see the color of the dress so that I can color coordinate it with my makeup. Dark orange. I head back to my mirror and I apply a burnt orange color to my eyelids.
I head back to the bed and take out the dress. I gasped at the style. It was so revealing. I slowly slip it on feeling the cool fabric against my skin. It was like a second skin so much so that I could see the outline of my underwear. I give in and remove my underwear. I stood in front of my floor-length mirror looking at myself. I loved the dress so much. How did he know my size anyway?
I look back in the box and see a beautiful pair of high heeled pumps, the same color as the dress. I sit on my chair and put them on. A perfect fit. I Part my box braids to the right and do my edges. I open my drawer and find the expensive perfume I only use when I want to smell bougie. I spritz some on my wrists and rub it on my chest, neck, and behind my ears.
I snap out of my trance when my phone starts ringing. I hurry over and pick it up. "Hey Ebony are you done yet?" Masons deep voice asked over the phone. " Yea I'm done are you downstairs?" " Not yet in like three minutes so don't rush down." "Okay." We hang up. I go to the living room to see Jensy painting Zena's nails while they watched 90-day fiance. When they both looked up they gasped.
" Oh, my gosh girl that fit is immaculate!" Jensy complimented. " Yea you look so shiny and pretty!" I felt heat rush up to my face "aww thanks, guys." I hug them both. I'm leaving when the phone rings again notifying me that Mason was here. I enter the elevator and head down. I gasp when I see a beautifully sleek and sexy dark car.
I see Mason get out of the driver's side of the car and make a reaching movement with his hands as if asking me to come over. I hurry over. He places his hands on my hips and kissed my lips softly. I kiss him back lightly as well. He pulls away. "You look so sexy..." He places another kiss on my lips this time its rough and it leaves me breathless. We hear some whistling and cheering from in front of the building. Mason smiles.
I realize that his blazer color matches the color of my dress. I smiled happily. I still didn't know where we were going but I knew it was going to be nice.
