I could hear a loud cheer and laughter from the other end of the line before Hayden quickly hung up the call. I wondered what that was all about. However, as always, it had nothing to do with me. Now, I have to quickly come up with an idea of what to do for Hayden today so that I can get that over and done with.
Easier said than done. Nothing was coming to mind. I had just finished my first cup and tea and no good ideas were popping into my head. I started furrowing my brows together and I looked around the room for some inspiration. Should I just ask Hayden straight out what he wanted and get it over with?
“Get dressed. You’re coming with me,” Hayden said in a commanding voice as he looked at me for the first time since I entered the room.
“…Huh? Me?” I exclaimed in shock as I pointed a finger towards myself.
“Who else is here?” He asked sarcastically.
Sure, we were now the only two people in the room but that was not that I meant. Did he seriously want me to go with him? Where? Why? I was so confused that I didn’t know what to say for a moment.
“Where are we going?” I asked, confused.
“I said…get dressed…” Hayden repeated, his patients running thin.
“Get dressed…as in…” I said, confused. As far as I was concerned, I was dressed.
Does that mean that we’re going somewhere fancy where I needed to dress up more? These casual clothes were not enough, I guess. It wasn’t like I had any fancy clothes or anything in my closet, but I guess I do have something that looks better than shirt and jeans.
Still confused, but with Hayden’s pressuring glare, I headed back to my bedroom to slip on something dressier. I opened my closet and picked up one of the few dresses that I had. It wasn’t like I had a lot of options to choose from. Out of the few dresses that I had, I picked out a light pink knee-length dress with rose print that I felt looked decent.
“Are you done?!”
I heard Hayden shouting loud and clear as he banged on my bedroom door. That guy is clearly out of his mind. How fast does he expect me to change clothes? Seriously!
“Almost!” I shouted back, making sure that he could hear me.
From my estimation of how crazy Hayden could be, I wouldn’t be surprised if he tore down the door in his rush. I quicky yanked on the pink dress and zipped up the back as fast as I could as Hayden continued to bang on the door. Was he planning to keep on banging on the door until I finished?
I opened the door once I was done dressing and immediately came face-to-face with Hayden who was standing right on the other side of the door. The moment he laid eyes on me; his eyes grew wide with shock.
He took a couple of steps back wordlessly, as his eyes scanned me from head to toe. Hayden looked shocked and as he silently placed a hand over his mouth and shook his head from side to side as if not able to believe what he was seeing. I honestly couldn’t understand what was going on.
