The fight for Love and Reach

Chapter 18

Lizzie p.o.v

The next day Annalise has been helping me get ready for this date, gez you would think that she was the one who was going on the date. I know that me and Carson are going to Angela's for some dinner then I am not sure what we are going to be doing. I am in my bathroom and I've just finished curling my hair and light make-up since I am not the type of girl that wears make-up, I go into my room only to see a black dress on my bed, what the hell? I didn't put that there suddenly as if on cue Annalise's voice come through the door

Annalise - just put it on woman, you can't go on a date in jeans.

Lizzie - says who?

Annalise - please Lizzie, I picked that dress out myself, I thought it would look perfect on you.

Lizzie - ugh fine just this once.

I hear her cheering outside my bedroom door, I hate wearing dresses the only time I would wear one is on a special occasion... I guess a first date counts. I slip into the dress and put on the shoes then I go into the living room where Annalise is sitting on the couch, she is texting someone before looking in my direction and gasping with excitement.

Annalise - oh my gosh Lizzie, you look so beautiful.

Lizzie - thanks, I think Carson will be here soon have you seen my jacket?

Annalise - your leather one?

Lizzie - yeah.

She points to the kitchen and I see my jacket lying on a stool so I go over and put it on, when I look back to Annalise, and see her letting out a giggle as she was smiling, Annalise only smiles like that when she has a new man in her life or she's got laid.

Lizzie - do I wanna know why you are giggling like that?

Annalise - no but I am going out tonight.

Lizzie - again? This guy you are seeing must be something for you to keep going back to.

Annalise - who said it is a guy?

I raise my eyebrow at her and we both burst out with laughter after a couple of minutes the doorbell goes and Annalise winks at me.

Annalise - that will be lover boy.

I roll my eyes at her before I head for the door, before opening it I smooth down my dress and then push the button to open the door to reveal a handsome Carson, he's wearing a black suit and shirt with a shocked expression on his face, he also has a doughnut box in his hand and a single rose which are hard to find on Reach. Carson looks speechless as he looks me up and down

Carson -...

His face is so cute when he is embarrassed, he shakes his head bringing himself back to reality while I let out a little chuckle, he hands me the box and rose.
