Nathan was going to think I was some kind of angel in this outfit!

Hahaha no.

I decided to go with some skinny jeans and a sweater I had purchased at Charlotte Russe a couple weeks ago. To seal the deal, I went with my beat up converse. My normally wavy locks were pulled back into a high ponytail, a thin headband keeping my bangs from falling. I went with no makeup, not bothering to make myself look like a clown. A brush was swept through my hair after it was up. I slipped my purity ring on just for safety.

I'm sure I looked great!

Sarcasm is a gift.

The doorbell rang at exactly 6:01. I pulled myself off the couch and repositioned my headband. When I opened the door, I was met with a smiling face and a small, purple tulip. A grin found it's way to my face as a lean hand handed over the petite flower.

It looked as delicate as a... Flower? Yeah, I can't think of anything else. Ooh! How about a porcelain doll? Okay, let's try this poetic shit again. It looked as delicate as a porcelain doll. That's pretty good, but I keep wanting to say rose. Ugh. Flower Problems.

"Ready?" Nathan's eyes were crinkled at the corners, evidence that his grin was real and genuine. Okay, I know you probably can't imagine this in your head, but it was really cute, okay? I felt special that his smile was real. I've been given a lot of fake smiles in my lifetime and I now think I'm a expert on reading the signs of a real or fake smile.

"Yeah." And we walked arm and arm to the car, me opening my own door, but hey. We can't all be perfect.

I'M SO SORRY.

THIS IS HORRIBLE.

I WAS BEING STUPID WHEN I WROTE THIS.

NO, I WAS NOT DOING DRUGS.

NOT PHYSICALLY, MAYBE MENTALLY.

SEE?

UGH.

BLAME WooWoo.

BYE.
