FAMILY TIES

Chapter 1 :. Blind date

*Summer's P.O.V*

I arrive home tired from a long day at work to my shared apartment with my best friends Lexi and Mei . As soon as I open the door, I'm harassed by them asking me where I was.

Lexi : "Summer on my gosh where were you?!"

Mei : "Why did you leave without telling us?!"

Lexi : "Do you know how long we've been waiting for you to come home? "

Mei : "Where did you run off to so early in the morning?!"

Lexi : "Summer don't just stand there and look at us can you please answer our questions!!."

I stood there for a while and looked at there angry faces until I spoke up. Just as I parted my lips to speak Mei cut in.

Mei : "Do not lie to us please".

Me : "I was at work. My asshole of a boss called me and told me I had to come in today it was an emergency."

Mei & Lexi : "Could you not say no to him?".

Me: "No , you know I need the money to pay a third of our rent I couldn't stay no."

Lexi : " Ohh okay ".

Mei : "Now he made you late".

Me : " For what ?" I shrugged my shoulders .

Mei : "The blind date we talked about last weekend, We should get you ready before you're late."

Me : "But I was not told and besides I have nothing to wear so I'm not going anywhere".

I came up with that conclusion but only to be pulled to Mei's room by Lexi and Mei.

Mei : "You'll wear my clothes for the date now sit and let's get you ready"

Mei :. "Your date is at 7pm, come we only have to hours to get you ready "

Me : " can I atleast go freshen up be for my date "

With that, I stood up and went to my room to grab a bathrobe and went to the bathroom. I took off my clothes and took a quick shower washing my long black hair and putting it up in a bun I headed to Mei's room were they were waiting. I sat on her bed as we looked through Mei's closet for a dress for me to wear.

Me :. " Mei I'm not wearing anything fancy it's just a date. "

Mei : "Your date is taking you to an highend restaurant your wearing something nice that's all I can say. "

Lexi :. "Come here let me do your hair and makeup "

Lexi curled my hair a little and gave volume making it look wavy and sexy , for my make-up she gave me a more natural look because she knows I don't wear that much make-up anyways. After my make up that took an hour, seeing my date was at 7pm and it was now 6pm, Mei took out a short black cocktail dress that had an open back and a tea cup bottom form her closet with mate blue heels and a pair of earrings and a mate black clutch. I slowly parted my lips to protest seeing the dress was short and it looked new. Before I could say anything Mei cut me off.
