The Date

Blake's POV

The day of Noah and I's date had come around and I gathered all my friends to help me get ready.

Kio was skimming through my closet for an outfit, Quinton was going to do my hair, and Jaden was sitting on my bed, grinning at his phone like an idiot.

"What about this?" Kio asked, holding up a denim shirt.

"Nope. I don't even know why I have that."

"Cause I bought it for your birthday last year, dingbat." Quinton said, glaring at me.

I just shrugged my shoulders and looked back at Jaden.

"Jae? What are you doing?"

"Texting someone."

"By someone you mean Anthony, right?" Kio appeared out of the closet with a different set of clothes.

"Maybe." Jaden mumbled, looking at us for a second before going back on his phone.

Kio walked over to the bed and laid out a pastel pink crew neck and light wash skinny jeans.

"Well?"

"I love it." I beamed, tackling him in a hug.

Kio grunted, pushing me off of him so I landed on the bed.

"Go get ready."

I nodded and grabbed the clothes, heading to the bathroom. I turned the shower on and started to get undressed.

The bathrobe I was wearing slipped off my shoulders slowly as I untied and fell gracefully to the floor.

I stepped into the shower, after double checking that the door was locked, and let the warm water rinse over my body.

All the stress and anxiety I had built up over the day washed down the drain with my lavender scented shampoo.

I was at peace, ready to go on this date that I had been imaging since last year.

Once I had finished showering, I turned off the water and got out.

I stared at myself in the mirror, watching as a drop of water rolled down my face from my hair.

I got dressed, looking myself up and down, then leaving the bathroom.

The minute I opened the door, I was met with an unexpected sight.

Quinton was holding Jaden's phone high in the air, Kio was holding Jaden down, and Jaden was squirming in his arms, a deep blush covering his face.

"Aww! You're so cute Jae." Quinton read from the phone.

I immediately caught on to what was happening and decided to put an end to it.

"Quinton, give Jaden his phone back. Jaden get off your phone and help Q do my hair."

Jaden smiled victoriously, yanking his phone out of Quinton's hand and stuffing it in his pocket.

Soon enough, it was 6:15, the time Noah was supposed to pick me up.

We all made our way downstairs, stopping at the doorway.

"If he tries anything, I'll beat him up." Quinton said threateningly, holding up a fist.

"And what do you think you're gonna do shorty?" Kio asked, voice laced with sass.

"Hey! Short people have twice the aggression."

I smiled at my friends childish behavior, giving them each a hug before walking outside to wait for Noah.

His car pulled up about 5 minutes later and he hopped out, jogging towards me.
