Love affair | Chacha

Its not a date

~Chapter 29~
                     It's not a date

Chases POV:
I did it, I asked her out- kinda?
No. I didn't ask her out because this isn't a date. It's a dinner. I'm lucky enough that she gave me the job back, I will not ruin it by making it into a date.

Plus it can't be a date. I'm married.

It's not like I wanna go on a date with her, it would be wrong anyway. I'm not a cheater.

But Im also not gonna lie and say I'm not excited for this "date" because I am.

There's nothing wrong with being excited for a friendly gathering?

Charli: "okay, see you Tonight"
Chase: "we are going to that new restaurant on glee avenue? Is that alright?"
Charli: "that's pretty expensive"
Chase: "I know but I'm paying"

I quickly left before she could argue

I'm surprised she agreed. I guess she really does need help with the work.

I'm also surprised she gave me the job in the first place. I'm super grateful obviously because it's gonna help me out a lot. But why did she give me the job?

I left the building and got in the car.
I started driving back

I arrived back at the house and parked the car. I went inside and went straight up to my room.

What time is it?

I looked at my phone "3:00pm"

It's only 3? Well, guess I have a lot of time to get ready.

I looked through my closet and I couldn't find anything?

I did the laundry yesterday? Are these all my clothes? I can't wear any of these? I don't want to show up to our date- I mean friend hangout, looking bad. I need something perfect.

Blaire walked into the room

Blaire: "what are you doing and why are there clothes all over the floor?"
Chase: "I'm looking for something to wear"
Blaire: "for what?"

Should I tell her? I don't want to upset her? I know how she gets when I talk about Charli.

Chase: "I have an interview..? For a job..?"
Blaire: "you do? Really?"
Chase: "yes"

I smiled

Blaire: "that's great"
Chase: "yes it is, I just can't find anything to wear"

You know what, I'm just gonna buy something. I need new clothes anyway

Chase: "ok got to go. Il be right back"
Blaire: "where?"
Chase: "I'm buying an outfit, need anything"
Blaire: "no thanks"

I walked downstairs and went outside. I got in the car and started driving.

Where should I go?

I drove by a fancy place and I stopped there.
A nice outfit caught my attention in the front window

I walked inside then walked to the cashier.
He looked at me like I was poor

Chase: "how much is that outfit right there"
Cashier: "eight ninety nine"
Chase: "only 8 pounds and 99 cents?"

Seems pretty sketchy to me

He rolled his eyes

Cashier: "try eight hundred"

What?! I can't afford that? He thinks I'm rich?

But it's really nice... and I wanna impress Charli...
