The alarm that I set last night rang bright and early the next morning. For once in a very long time, I bolted upright in bed at the first ring of the alarm. Finally, morning is here!
Like a little girl excited for her birthday party, I didn’t sleep very well last night. Frankly, I was too excited to catch any sleep. Without needing anyone to push or pull me out of bed, I got off the bed and immediately headed to my closet.
What should I wear today?
What about this dress? Maybe too lacey? Maybe too sexy?
Too conservative. Too revealing. Might make me look a little on the plump side. Might make my skin look like a weird color under some orange lighting…
I never knew that finding the perfect dress was this difficult. This is why they have stylists to help you. It was very rare for Reiner to ask me out on a date, so I wanted to look flawlessly perfect. The outfit matters and so does the make up and hair do.
Will he think that I’m overdressed if I turned up in this dress? Maybe it’ll look like I’m trying too hard. I sighed loudly when I realized that I’ve wasted quite a lot of time just choosing my outfit. In the end, I chose a light pink short sleeve dress with a loose skirt that reached around my knees and a matching pair of ballerina shoes. I put my hair up into a chic ponytail and added a touch of sparkle by putting on dangling diamond earrings.
By the time that I was done, Reiner hadn’t turned up yet. I guess I just woke up uncharacteristically early today. Feeling restless, I decided to go down to the living room to wait for Reiner. To my surprise, Reiner was already downstairs, and I ran into him as I was coming down the stairs.
“R…” I called his name in my surprise.
“You’re up very early…” Reiner said, and I could see his eyes lingering slightly longer than normal on my outfit.
My heart fluttered and I smiled. Maybe I did make the right choice.
“I wasn’t sure when you wanted to leave so I thought being early would be better than being late,” I replied before smiling sweetly at him.
“If you’re ready, we can go now,” Reiner replied.
“Ok. That’s great,” I said as I hugged his arm to my chest and smiled up at him.
I didn’t know where he was going to take me, but the weather was so pleasant. It was just the right amount of sunshine and wind. Reiner was driving next to me as I sat on the passenger seat. Instead of looking at the view through the window, I found myself glancing over at Reiner instead. He’s so handsome and his side profile was also so good looking.
“You seem to be in a very good mood,” Reiner comment without looking my way.
“You can tell? Of course, I am. It’s not everyday that you would ask me out on a date,” I said cheerfully.
“I guess you’re right,” Reiner replied with a grin.
…
“I think we’ve been here before, right?” I asked as I looked out the car window at the familiar scenery.
