Chapter Five

Panic! At The First Date




Violet's P.O.V


Shit

Only two hours to get ready

What do I wear, what do I do with my hair?

"Amber! Can I borrow that cute black skirt you wear with the tights?" I yelled down to the cafe from out apartment

"Whatever!" she shouted back

I ran into her room and grabbed the skirt, it was tight on me but I somehow pulled the skirt over my hipbones

Is this too fancy for a movie date?

I opted to ask Amber when her shift ended but that wasn't for another hour

Maybe if I wore a tank top and a flannel it won't look as 'fancy'

I stole one of Amber's 'Panic! ATD' tops and grabbed a flannel from my closet tying it around my waist

One hour left

I sprinted to my bathroom and plugged in my straightener

While waiting for it to heat up I curled my eyelashes and applied mascara

It took me a solid 45 minutes to straighten my overly long, think hair but as I finished I hear Amber open the door and call my name

I strutted out of the bathroom swaying my hips and posing dramatically

"You look stunning" she sighed and hugged me as the bell buzzed

"Who is it?" I asked but I already knew who it was

"Open up darling it's freezing out here without you!" I heard Dan through the buzzer

I unlocked the door and checked myself in the mirror one last time before I heard a knock on the door

"Juliet my love, come down from thouths tower!" I shouted and knocked once more

Amber opened the door and looked Dan up and down

He was wearing black skinny jeans and a tight white t-shirt

"Romeo, oh Romeo, where for art thou Romeo" I sighed and pushed past Amber

He laughed and took me by the hand

"Have her back by twelve" Amber said sounding surprisingly serious, I only hoped it was a joke

She closed the door behind us as we began walking down the hall to the elevator

"You look lovely this evening" he smiled that beautiful dimpled smile again

I covered my face with my hands as I blushed

"You don't even know it do you? Tragic I say, simply tragic someone so beautiful can think anything other than positive things" he tsked

The way he spoke, so smooth and articulate, it make me shutter

"Cold?" he asked and bean taking off his coat and draped it on my shoulders

The coat just nearly swallowed me whole, he had such broad shoulders and compared to my petite ones he looked huge

The gesture however was adorable

I giggled and nudged his shoulder muttering a thank you

"What movie are we seeing?" I asked breaking the mostly comfortable silence

"Ouija"

"The horror film?" I asked nervous, my voice shaking the tiniest bit

"Is something wrong?" He asked moving closer to me.
