Chapter six - Sparks May Fly

Carmen's P.O.V

Today is the day. And you could say I'm more then just a little nervous, I'm scared to death. This is my first official date and I don't want to embarrass myself to death.

Sam came over at five in the morning to help me get ready. FIVE IN THE MORNING!! who takes that long to get ready for a date that only lasts a couple hours.

Gosh, some people these days! It doesn't take eight or more hours to get ready for a date!

I groan when Sam says no to the 200th dress I've tried on.

"Can we go, please?" I ask hopefully.

"Did we find you a dress yet?"

"No.." I answered.

"Well then no, we're not going anywhere."

"Please! I can just wear a skirt and a top, because I actually have those in my closet at home!"

"That's funny, now go try on this one, I think you'll like it" he said handing me a dark purple dress.

I went back into the dressing room and looked at it.

It was probably going to be up to my mid thigh and was tight at the top and then went lose above probably my bellybutton.

I put on the dress and turned around to look in the mirror. And I just new it was the dress for me. Gosh I sound like a bride from say yes to the dress. Me and Sam may be obsessed with that show.

"Sam, are you ready to see it?"

"Hell yes, come out already!"

I stepped out of the dressing room, emotions radiating off my body. I wanted Sam to like this dress, if he didn't I wouldn't know what to do.

"Carmen you look amazing!" Sam said.

"So you like the dress?" I asked nervously.

"I  don't like it, I love it." Sam said quoting the song.

I laughed at him while I tuned in circles, I love this dress is all I could think at the moment. I hope Xavier will like the dress, what if he doesn't? gosh that would be terrible.

Sam cut me out of my thoughts when he said something I didn't hear.

"Sorry, what did you say" I said while I stopped spinning.

he rolled his eyes " I said, are you going to say yes to the dress?"

"Yes" I said smiling into the mirror.

Xavier P.O.V

Ever since the moment I meet Carmen I've liked her, she was naturally beautiful in everyway, she has a great sense of humor and she's sweet when she wants to be. But she's broken in many other ways, with her parents leaving her, Lela being deaf and her drunk aunt. I want to be there for her I really do. I want to fix the broken parts in her.

I've been dying to go on this date ever since she agreed to go on it with me. Nothing to big but not at all small, we're going to a fancy French restaurant.

After I was done getting ready I said goodbye to my mom before getting into my car and driving to Carmen's house. she doesn't live very far from my house, maybe fifteen minutes. On my way I stopped at the nearest supermarket and bought Carmen a bouquet of flowers.

After buying the roses I got back into my car and drove to Carmen's.

I got to her door in a manner of five minutes. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. Waiting for her to open the door may have been the most nerve racking moment I've ever had.
