Effervescence

~~~FOUR~~~

I woke up in a panic. Well the only reason why I woke up panicking was because my doorbell rang, I looked at the clock and was wondering who would be up at 7:30 in the morning. I usually didn't get up until 8:30. I threw on a sweatshirt and hobbled over to the door with a pounding headache, I didn't have anytime to lay in bed and actually wake up for a second. When I opened the door, to my surprise, was Ryan with two dozen peach/salmon colored roses, my favorite flower. 

"I'm sorry about the way I acted the other day," OF COURSE HE WAS. That made me feel worse about the date tonight... THE DATE!!!! I totally forgot, not trying to worry or annoy Ryan I kept my cool. I smiled and said thank you and asked if he wanted to come in. Thankfully he had to leave for work, he worked in an office for some high class crap. He kissed me and said goodbye and that he hopes I have a good day blah blah blah. I ran into my room screaming with the flowers still in my hand and then ran into the kitchen, still screaming, grabbing the vase that was half filled with beach sand and little shells and such. I poured all of it into a coffee mug, that was the closest thing at least. Filling the vase with fresh water, I violently jammed the flowers into it and took a pause. I marveled at my kitchen, it is so gorgeous. Everything is stainless steel and my counter tops were are white granite, and just about everything else is black. Then I started screaming and ran back into my room like a football player, then jumping onto my bed I continued to scream, taking the occasional breath, stuffing  my face into Willis, my stuffed Manatee.

I decided to take a short nap before I got ready for my date with Jase. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I woke up with a sudden breath... Maybe I was dreaming? Whatever it was, I don't remember. I grabbed my phone and checked the time. How long have I been sleeping for?! The clock said it was 6:57 and I fell asleep at like nine... I love sleep. Sleep is my life. I decided I would have 20 minutes of more sleep. I mean it was only 7, he was coming at 8. I had an hour and it only took me an hour to get ready. I went to lay back down as I realized I only had an hour to get ready... 

"WHAT AM I DOING!?!?" I screeched. I threw the blankets on the floor and ran to my closet... What was I going to wear?! I was going to Olive Garden so it couldn't just be another outfit a pulled out. My phone made a "ding" noise and I was praying to God it was Jase saying he would be late. NOPPPEEEEE.... 

Jase: Hey, so I might be a little early... 

Me: Oh okay that's fine

TOTALLY NOT FINE JASE!!!!!

I ran back to my closet practically tripping over a pair of shoes on the floor. I flung open the closet door and walked to my dresses section; yes I have a walk in closet. I fished around for the perfect dress. But what if I was over dressing? What if he just walked in with sweats and a t-shirt? Or what if he walks in with a suit and tie? or something else that's super nice? My phone went off and I ran to see what is was this time. It was my alarm telling me that I have 30 minutes to get ready. I calmly walked over to my closet to try and find an outfit. I decide to go with something less "dressy" and decide to stay away with dresses tonight. I grab my maroon sweater that has a small slit up the side and got a little bit longer in the back. I grabbed some darker jeans and pulled them on quickly. I then walked over to my black vans slipping them on; hoping I wasn't "under dressed." I mean it was only Olive Garden... It wasn't that fancy. 

Me: Hey...  Ready when you are

Jase: Hey can I come up and use ur br realllly quick lol

Me: yeah sure haha top floor, 237

Jase: haha be right up. 

I ran to my bed and quickly fixed the blanket. I was trying to get on my bed without touching it with my sneakers. After I made it look some what decent I ran into my living room and fixed a couple of things before he came in. Then I ran into the kitchen and did the same. Why was I trying so hard? He was only a barista... Then I hopped into the bathroom to make sure that looked somewhat acceptable as well. I tried to wipe down the sink and get the dried tooth paste off that is added every time I wake up late in the morning and don't have time to wash it out. Then the moment I feared the most came. The doorbell rang... I fixed my hair and patted down my sweater. I ran to the door and them took a minute, took a breath and turned the door knob... Oh my goodness, I opened the door and there he was in a SUIT. He looked great, he looked better than great. He looked I don't even know a word to describe it. That's how good he looked. I finally moved so he could come in and pushed out a "Hi" WHY THE HELL DID I SAY HI?! OUT OF ALL THE INTELLIGENT THINGS I COULD HAVE SAID. I SAY "HI." He simply said "hey" back and took a huge bouquet of roses behind his back. I feel my face turn bright red and I duck my head down to try and dodge any further embarrassment. 

"Thank you..." I manage to get out despite my crazy smile.

"No problem." He hands me the roses and I notion him to come to the kitchen with me.

"Oh! You wanted to go to the bathroom?" I remember.

"Nah, I just needed an excuse to come give you these." He came me a sly smile. 

"Oh.. Alright.." I smile back look down and push the door open to my kitchen. I look up and see the gorgeous flowers Ryan got me. My face heats up even more as I walk over to them. I take them out and toss them in the trash.

"Those looked fairly new... Why'd you throw them out?"

"They're fake." I said with a smile.

"Then why do they have water..?" He asked clearly puzzled... I don't blame him.

"I don't know, for affect I guess." I shrugged... Clearly this was awkward for both of us. I put the new roses from Jase into the vase and turned to him.

"Well shall we?" He asked, trying to be 'fancy.'

I laughed and nodded, "We shall."
