Wonder

Understanding

*Christens POV*

So far I had come up with zero ideas, none, nada, naught. I've never even planned a date before, what are we even meant to do? If she even says 'yes' that is, I have a feeling she's going to be too upset with me and she might say no and then I'll be upset and the whole situation will continue to be a mess. Maybe I should text her first.

Christen to Tobi: Hey...want to go out tonight?

Tobin to Chris: Out?

Christen to Tobi: Like a...date???

Christen to Tobi: Tobi?

Christen to Tobi: If you don't answer I'll just come and knock on your door

Christen to Tobi: You can say no if you don't want to

Tobin to Chris: Woah chill I had to shower, a date?

Christen to Tobi: Yeah, I know you're still mad at me but I miss you already 

Tobin to Chris: It's been like two hours

Christen to Tobi: Pleeeeeeeaaaaassssseeeee

Tobin to Chris: Okay, okay. When and where?

Christen to Tobi: Meet me here in an hour?

Tobin to Chris: Okay, c u soon

Okay so I've given myself an hour to plan something, and change, and shower. Damn it. Takeout on the river? Takeout on the river. I pulled my phone back out of my pocket and preordered Chinese takeout to be delivered in fifty minutes, then I could pack it up and bring it with me. I hopped and skipped my way into the shower, it was still going to be cold and snowy out so I need lots of layers and probably a blanket too. Maybe two blankets. 

I scrubbed myself head to toe, shaved my legs and washed my hair before jumping out and getting into my bathrobe. I dried my hair with my hairdryer and put it up into a loose messy bun before running toward my drawers to throw on a matching pair of undergarments', before wandering to my cupboard to find something to wear, as I set out a set of pants and a thick jumper I heard a knock at the door. In a panic I threw the clothes on that I wore to class that day, it was the deliveryman, I paid him and put the food away into a cooler bag with a few heat packs, I'm sure they would do naught to keep the food warm in an hours time but it was the effort that mattered right?

I looked into the mirror as I passed by on my way to the bathroom, I had in a quick panic threw on the clothes I had just gotten out of to shower. A tight black pencil skirt and a white blouse, which I hadn't buttoned up because I was too distracted by the food. I heard another knock at the door, I swung the door open and In walked Tobin without much more than a curt nod. "You're going to be cold," I threw out as she sat down on the edge of my bed. 

"Why? Where are we going?" She answered, looking at me and then back to herself.

"Outside," I offered simply, leaning down in front of Tobin to collect a pair of shoes from the floor that I intended on wearing. 

I turned to see Tobin already staring at me, she was somewhat distracted so I took a second to admire her closer. Her hair was up in a ponytail as usual, she had a nice pair of cotton shorts with little stripes and a green button up top, typical Tobin. "If I'm going to be cold...you're going to freeze. Why are you dressed so...never mind" She eventually asked, shaking her head from side to side quickly.

"Dressed like what? I was wearing this to class today and I threw it back on to get something quickly after my shower," I replied, leaning back on my small dining table.
