I stood in my wardrobe wearing only my black bra and underwear, my hands on my hips as I stared blankly at the row of dresses hanging in front of me. I had no idea what to wear and Chris was going to be here any minute now. I decided it was time for expert help. I picked up my phone and dialled Paige, crossing my fingers in the hope that she'd pick up. I let out a yawn, work had gone so, extremely slow today, which of course always happened when I was looking forward to something.

"Helloo?" Paige's voice sung, the clink of a wine glass in her hand. "Paige babe, I need help I don't know what to wear and I'm running out of time!" I said exasperated, turning to face the mirror and double checking my hair. Paige laughed, "Okay breathe B, have you done your hair at least?"."Yes that's all done, I just need a dress!" I answered quickly, hopping on the spot impatiently. I stepped closer to the mirror and inspected my reflection - my long hair had been softly curled so that it was falling in loose waves around my face, and I had gone simple with the makeup and done a soft-barely there smokey eye and nude lip.

"Okay well it's the first date so you wanna make an impression - if it was me I'd wear red or something bold" she said taking a sip of wine. I cradled the phone against my shoulder, going through my dresses one by one in the wardrobe. "What about that red dress that I borrowed from you a couple of weeks ago? You know that fitted, just-above-the-knee one with the square neckline?". I knew instantly which one she was talking about and I quickly flicked through the coat hangers to find the dress in question.

"I'm putting you on speaker babe, just hold on" I said to her, throwing the phone down on the bed and slipping the dress off the hanger. Stepping into the dress, I pulled it up and slipped my arms through the straps, zipping up the side. "How's it look?" Paige's voice said from the bed as I looked at my reflection. "Paige you're amazing, it's perfect" I said as I smoothed out my dress - the fitted material clung snugly to my curves and the neckline made my boobs look round and perky without being too revealing.

I quickly snapped a photo and sent it to Paige, "I just sent you a photo tell me what you think" I said already trying to find a pair of shoes and waiting for her response. "You look gorgeous babe, he's not going to know what hit him" she said after a moment and I could practically hear her smiling through the phone.

"Pair of nude shoes to go with it I think" Paige said and I nodded having already pulled on my favourite pair of tan, leather pointed heels. "You're the best Paige, thank you!" I said as I reapplied my lipstick, "No need to thank me, it's a gift". I laughed, "Okay I gotta go babe, he's gonna be here any minute now" I said with a small squeal - I hadn't been this excited for a date since well...ever.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Paige's voice shouted suddenly just before I hung up. "What's wrong?" I asked with a voice full of concern. "What underwear are you wearing?" Paige asked sternly and I couldn't help but laugh - a typical Paige question. "I've got that covered don't worry" I replied quickly, looking back at my reflection in the mirror. "Bianca" Paige repeated threateningly and I rolled my eyes letting out a sigh, "Black lace. Matching" I said to her finally, smiling when she said "That's my girl".

"Good luck babe, I love you". "Thanks Paige, you're the best. Love you too" I replied before the line went dead. I grabbed my purse and mobile, and stood in front of the mirror to have one last look at my reflection. I turned to Kovu who was lying on the floor and looking up at me with his big brown eyes. "What do you think buddy, do I look okay?" I asked, smiling when he barked in response. I bent down to give him a kiss and scratched underneath his chin, a knock suddenly sounding at the front door. My heart flipped, he was here!

I walked back into the main room and towards the front door, my heart racing nervously as I fiddled with the hem of my dress. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. I took a deep breath to steady myself as I stood at the front door, this was it, it was now or never. I turned the handle and opened the door, my breath catching in my throat when my eyes fell on the gorgeous man standing on my doorstep.

I opened the door wider so that he could see me properly and I swore I heard his breathing hitch when his eyes caught sight of me. "Hey" I said flashing him my best smile, my brain struggling to think of anything else other than how sexy he looked. "Wow. You look gorgeous" he said as he stepped forward to kiss my cheek, my face heating from his compliment. I grinned, instantly I felt like the luckiest girl in the world.

Chris was wearing black fitted pants and a crisp white shirt, a thin black tie and a matching black slim-fit jacket on top. His dark blonde hair was styled exactly as it was in the Captain America movies and his face was clean shaven and smooth. I groaned silently, feeling the muscles deep in my belly clench. He looked classic and unbelievably handsome - he really was sex on legs.

"You don't look so bad yourself" I said with a grin, "Come in, I just need to grab my keys" I added stepping back and gesturing for him to walk in. I suppressed the urge to moan as he walked past me, his sweet cologne filling my nose. "I won't be long" I said before turning and walking back into the kitchen, feeling Chris' eyes follow me as I moved.

Chris' POV:

My eyes travelled down Bianca's body, my mind struggling to think of anything except the girl in front of me. She looked stunning - and that was an understatement to say the least. The red dress she was wearing hugged her body snugly, showing off her perfect curvy figure - the tops of her round breasts just visible enough to tease and drive my mind wild. I watched as she looked for her keys, unable to tear my eyes away as she hurried around the house. Her legs looked long and toned underneath her dress and I couldn't help but wonder what it would be like to peel the tight, crimson material from her body.

"Found them!" Bianca said as she held up her keys, grinning triumphantly at me. She really did have the most beautiful smile. All of a sudden, a big grey and white snow dog came bounding over to me, its tail wagging playfully. I bent down to ruffle it soft fur, its head huge in my hands. He panted happily as I scratched behind his ears, his body leaning into me. I loved dogs. "So this must be your boy" I said smiling and looking over at Bianca who laughed, "Yes, this is Kovu" she said walking over to me, my eyes again travelling up her body.

"Kovu as in The Lion King?" I asked, giving him one last pat and standing up, looking down at him and smiling when he let out a whine of protest. Bianca stopped and looked at me with one eye brow raised, "Yes" she said with a laugh, "How did you know that?" she asked tilting her head. I shrugged my shoulders "It was one of my favourite movies when I was a kid. Plus I have nieces and nephews. I'm a Disney fan, what can I say?" I replied with a cheesy grin, watching as Bianca laughed and put her purse underneath her arm.

"Alright buddy out you go" she said pointing at the back door, the fluffy dog brushing past her to go outside. She turned to me and smiled gorgeously, my mind going momentarily blank. She was standing close enough to me that I could smell nothing but her sweet perfume. "You ready to go?" I asked her, looking in to her wide green eyes. "Waiting on you Cap" she said with a small smile, her nickname making me grin stupidly.

We stepped outside and I turned to Bianca, waiting patiently for her to lock the front door. I smiled as she stepped towards me, gently placing my hand on the small of her back and walking her to my car. I opened the door for her and watched as she gracefully bent down, brushing a stray hair away from her face and smiling up at me. "Always the gentleman" she said, tucking one side of her hair behind her ear. "Of course ma'am, especially for beautiful ladies like yourself" I said in my Steve Rogers character, watching her eyes widen and her lips part in a big, happy grin.

I shut her door and walked around to my side of the car, getting in and sneaking a glance over at her as I started the car. "You ready?" I asked, moving the gear stick into reverse and turning to face her. She blinked slowly, looking around the car and finally turning her head towards me, her eyes looking into my own. "As ready as I'll ever be" she replied leaning her head back on the headrest, her sweet vanilla scented perfume filling my nose again. I turned and looked out the back window of the car, feeling her eyes on me as I backed out of her driveway and drove off to the restaurant.
