I sat in front of the mirror. It was 5:30, Howie would be over in 2 ½ hours. I didn't know what to wear, what to do with my hair, what shoes, I didn't know anything! I finally called my best friend Sarah.

S: Hello?
Me: Hey Sarah, it's me Nicole.
S: Oh hey what's up?
Me: What's up? Oh nothing much, just that I'm going to a club tonight with Howie and have no idea what I'm doing.
S: What? Howie? Isn't that your next door neighbor you've been falling for?
Me: Yeah, my mom just had a brilliant and decided to ruin my life!
S: I would be thanking her! You know how lucky you are?
Me: I don't know, but I have no idea what to wear, or anything else in that matter!
S: Well, your lucky you're my best friend, I'll come over right now.
Me: Thank you!
Hang up

I waited about 5 minutes until Sarah came. For about an hour we got myself made up, we picked out my clothes, and I was ready 10 minutes before he was supposed to arrive. I looked in the mirror and smiled.

"Wow Nicky, you look good!" Sarah exclaimed. I blushed.

"Thanks, it's all because of you. I wouldn't be able to look like this if you didn't come over." She smiled. I was wearing a white spaghetti strap dress where the straps tied around my neck. The dress went to my ankles, and there was a slit to my thigh on one side. My hair was in a bun, while some pieces on one side were left down. I put on light makeup and wore white 2 inch heels.

"Howie is going to faint!" Sarah giggled, I smiled and was about to reply when the doorbell rang. I froze.

"I can't do this." I said shaking, Sarah sighed.

"Yes you can, I know you want to, just go have fun." I nodded my head while she went to open the door. Howie stood their with khaki pants, and a black muscle tank. His hair was up in a slicked back ponytail. He had a single red rose in his hand.

"Is Nicole ready?" He asked kindly. Sarah smiled.

"Yeah, she'll be out in a sec." Then I walked out, I put on a small smile.

"Hi Howie." I calmly said. All he did was smile.

"You look beautiful Nicole." He handed her the rose and kissed her cheek. "Never mind that, you look gorgeous." I blushed a nice shade of red. We left to the club called "Sugar and Spice." When we walked in, I thought of everything that could happen. But I never thought what was going to happen, would actually happen.
