My sweet escape | cb

twenty-six

I was currently looking for an outfit to wear for this date. Before my birthday party, Colby wants to take me out on a date.

All he said was to dress up so I was trying to find an outfit. Peyton was with me, trying to help a little bit.

She said she wanted to help with my hair so I told her she could. We eventually found a black dress I like.

It was a little tight but it showed my body off, which I liked. It went to my mid thigh and it showed my clevage.

I put it on, Peyton wolf whistling me in the process. Once it was on, I started working on my make up.

I wasn't going to make it overboard. When I was done with that, she started working on my hair.

"Are you nervous?" She asked making conversation. I sighed while thinking about it.

"I've been on dates with him before. I feel like this one's going to be different." I admit to her.

I could see her smile through the mirror. "Like he could tell you he loves you." She cooed.

I started smiling at myself at the thought of him loving me. "You think he loves me?" I ask her curiously.

"Of course. I can tell by the way he looks at you." I don't think I've ever noticed that before.

"I think fate brought us together." I speak up. She looks at me surprised knowing I said that.

She knows that I was never a big believer in fate or destiny, so the fact that I'm saying that out loud is a big deal.

"I think so too. You're so much happier when he's around." She noticed. She was right though.

Colby's made me a little happier these past few months. He's my sweet escape.

"He's different." I tell her. She works on my hair, straightening it. Once it's done, I couldn't help but look at myself.

I almost couldn't recognize myself. "You look hot." She complimented causing me to laugh a little bit.

I heard footsteps come in causing me to look. Colby was standing at my doorway, staring at me.

He had on black dress pants with a black button up shirt. He honestly looked really good right now.

"Can you two not have eye sex right in front of me?" Peyton asked pulling me out of my thoughts.

I clear my throat before speaking up. "You look really good." I compliment him. The ends of his mouth curved up.

"So do you. You look more than good, gorgeous honestly." I blushed at his words.

Peyton was looking in between the both of us while we stared at each other.

"You two should leave so you're not late." Peyton pushed. The three of us started heading towards the door.

"Have fun you two." She smiled as we walked out of the apartment.

Colby and I walk down to his car, hand in hand. We made small conversation in the way to the restaurant.

It was a cute little Italian restaurant. We walked in together, hand in hand. The hostess smiled over towards us.

"Hello, how can I help you?" She asked when we went over towards her. "I have a reservation for two under Brock." He spoke.

She types something in her computer and nods. "Yes, right this way." She grabs two menus and takes us to our table.

We thank her while we sit down at the table. We skim through the menus, trying to find something to eat.
