THE DRESS I HAD CHOSEN WAS SHORTER THAN I HAD ANTICIPATED.
For some reason, I was feeling very nervous about the dinner I was going to have with Eliseo and I couldn't figure out why. Maybe it was because an evening out with him alone was something I'd never imagined I would be able to have and yet it was happening. Something about going out to dinner with him sounded ridiculously mature; like he finally seeing me as a grown-up.
I'd even asked Eliseo for a dress code but he'd just been essentially useless and told me to 'dress nice'.
Like what did 'dress nice' even mean?
Did it mean look fancy or simple? Casual or extravagant? Sexy or formal?
I was conflicted.
My guess was that Eliseo would be taking us to somewhere expensive since he had such refined taste in restaurants.
It would probably be best if I dressed at least decently so in the end I decided to go with a simple figure hugging dress, hoping that it would be at least dinner worthy or even a little impressive.
The lush red dress was something that fell between simple and nice, something I believed suited me perfectly. I was determined not to overdress either, pairing the dress with some black sneakers and the silver deer necklace that Eliseo gifted me over two years ago.
I looked nice.
That had to be enough.
To finish off everything I doused myself in some of my vanilla and cinnamon scented body spray, taking in a deep breath before I decided that I was ready.
It was just another night out with Eliseo.
I picked up my shoulder strap bag hastily and rushed downstairs to the kitchen for a drink of water, noticing that my time was ticking away. Eliseo had said that he'd pick me up at 7:30 which meant that he could be here any minute now.
I'd specifically asked him not to knock on the front door because I didn't want to be asked questions about our little random night out since I hadn't really told anybody about it.
"So where did you say that you were going again?" Mom's eyes trailed after me watchfully as I poured myself a glass of water, her lips pursing disapprovingly at my dress, "And what for?"
