"so does this mean that you're dating now?!"
remedy asked excitedly.

i grinned from ear to ear with my fingers linked in front of me ,looking like a little girl.
"nooooo."

remedy chuckled as she sat on the couch,while i was standing in front of her.

"we're just,taking it slow-"

"have y'all kissed yet?"
she asked.

"no!"
i said making us both laugh.

"so,what are your plans for today?"
remedy asked.
"since you're both free."

i sighed.
"i don't know, he said he's coming to get me in a few minutes,but he won't tell me what we're doing,he just said dress casual"

" hmmm, i see i see."
she smirked.

"can you stop interrogating me,you're making me nervous."
i asked.

"good!"
she stated making us both giggle.
"i'm so excited for you! who would've thought that you two would end up together?"

"um you!"
i stated,as we let our laughs again.

i let out a sigh before watching remedy eat her pasta on the couch,as i ventured over to the bathroom,checking myself in the mirror.

even though i know that keith probably couldn't care less about the clothes on my body,i couldn't help but to be a little self conscious.

even in my white buttoned crop top and cargo pants that fit my waist just right,i felt,small.

like it wasn't enough,even though it was quite obvious that it was,i mean how much simpler could a t-shirt and jeans get?

yet somehow,i still found myself tweaking everything about myself as i stood in from of the bathroom mirror inspecting who i was.

was my cropped shirt too cropped? i don't wanna look desperate or like a slut or whatever those girls call each-other.

i've never been called one before but i didn't want today to be that day,especially not by a guy.

were my teeth ugly? god i hope not,i thought as i smiled hugely at myself.

what are you thinking? your dads an orthodontist,you had braces for years and you do whitening strips every week,of course your teeth aren't ugly.

my dad would probably kill me if he could hear what i was thinking right now. all those long nights of him constantly checking my teeth after hours at his office and always lecturing about what snacks i could and could not eat.

even at home!

even today,at twenty years old,sometimes i'll call my dad and he'll ask if i need a check up or a new retainer.

the trauma never ends.

and my hair,oh my gosh my hair!

i've never been one to be too self conscious about the sandy brown curls that cascaded down my back,almost reaching my waist.

until now.

i wonder how keith feels about curls.

he told me he liked my curls once,and i helped him with his a few weeks ago at his place.

but what if he doesn't like them anymore?

what if that's the reason he cut all his hair off!
oh no,he hates curls!

and don't even get me started on makeup.

the thing about guys is,you can never really tell if they truly love or hate something unless they just come out and say it.

with makeup,it's pretty fifty-fifty.

some guys hate it,others love it.

but i'd rather play it safe. i was pretty satisfied with the light coat of mascara and lipgloss i had mustered up the courage to put on.

i wonder how my body looks?
i thought.

i lifted the cropped shirt up off of my stomach even more,looking at my toned stomach.

tons of people have told me they would kill for my body.

i was healthy,i had abs and toned legs and arms,and my butt was a nice size and shape.

why am i thinking about my butt?

what if keith hates girls with big butts? is my butt big,or small?

i wonder,as i turned to the side,looking at my backside.

oh no.

"beautiful! keith's here!"
remedy said in a sing songy tone,making me pull my shirt back down.

i let out a deep breath before saying a silent prayer,and exited the downstairs bathroom before appearing in the living room.

when i got there,keith was standing there waiting for me,with a big goofy grin on his face.

oh god,i hope this works out.

what if he thinks i look like a fool?
-

what if she thinks i look like a fool?
i thought.

Jesus Christ,was my choice of outfit too much,or was it not enough?

suddenly,i was doubting my casual jeans and sweat shirt idea.
was the chain too much?

what if she thinks that gold chains make guys look like assholes.

i wonder if i can sneakily take it off before i get in the car...

i look like an asshole don't i?

"did you hear what i said?"

keith came back to reality as he looked back at the two in front of him.
"sorry,what we're you saying?"

beautiful laughed.
"i said,are you ready to go?"

i nodded,before taking her hand and pulling her away from Remedy.

"no goodbye?!"
she asked,as i lead her out the door.
beautiful shrugged.

"i'll see you later! lock the door for me,love you!"
she yelled back,before the door closed shut.

"so,where are you taking me?"
she asked,looking back at me,her brown orbs on mine.

i smirked.
"it's a surprise,you know,those unexpected or astonishing events. i think you've heard of it once or twice,no?"

she shook her head with a cute smile.
"obviously smarty, but i mean what is the surprise?"

i shrugged,opening the door of my Audi for her,letting her slide in before closing it and going over to my side.

"i just wanna know"
she continued.
"i'm curious."

"well,get uncurious,because i'm not saying a word.just knows i have a little something special up my sleeve."
i smirked,buckling my seatbelt before backing out of the parking spot.

"but you're making me nervous. i get anxious when i don't know what's going on around me."
she shrugged.

"well,you shouldn't,especially around me."
i stated.
"you do trust me,right?"

"no. i don't even know you."
she stated,with a sinister smile.

"very funny. i'm rolling on the fucking floor as we speak."
i shrugged.

"i'm kidding."
she giggled, showing her perfect teeth.

that smile is...dangerous.

"of course i trust you,i wouldn't be with you if i didn't."
she finished.

"exactly,which means you have nothing to worry about."
i told her,speeding up and i merged onto the highway.

"so sit back,relax,and enjoy the ride."

-

"you know, making someone this anxious for this amount of time can't be healthy."
beautiful stated,as she sat next to me.

i shook my head with a small chuckle.
"well,worry no more,cause we're here."
i told her.

her curiosity got the best of her,making her peer up at the building with a smile.

only to fall just as quickly as it arrived once she realized she still didn't know where we are.

"why do you do these things to me? do you think this stuff is funny?"
she asked,looking at me.

but all i could do was let out a laugh.
the last thing i could do,was take her seriously.

i mean how could i feel even the slightest bit intimidated by dimples,a gorgeous smile and a personality that only God could create.

i was blessed to be in the presence of such a educated,dedicated,fine young lady such as herself.

at this rate,i think she's too good for me.
what did i do to deserve this moment,with this woman.

God, please tell me now, is this a joke?

"are you sure you're okay?"
she asked again, genuinely concerned this time.

i shook it off with a scoff.
"yeah i'm cool,i'm-I'm great. thank you very much."
i told her,making her hum.

"so,are we just gonna sit here or are we gonna go into whatever this mystery place is that i have not a clue about? for all i know,you could be kidnapping me."
she said,with a cute smile.

"it's not kidnapping if you willingly got into my car."
i joked,making her gape.

"who told you that?!"
she laughed,making me wave her nonsense off.

"yeah yeah,enough chitchat,here,close your eyes."
i told her,making her send a look of speculation my way.

"come on! just do it."
i told her,making her shake her head before allowing her eyes to close.

keith opened his door,making his way around his car to let her out,holding her hands to make sure she didn't fall.

"you better not be looking-"

"i'm not! i promise i'm not,and i don't lie."
she said,stepping out of the car.

keith held her gently as he led her into the building,opening the door for her,leading her along the way.

beautiful couldn't exactly tell where she was,even though she tried her hardest to use all five of her senses.

well,minus one.

obviously,taste wasn't an option. neither was see, and the only thing she could hear was soft lobby music playing in the background and a sort of low humming noise that she couldn't exactly depict. along with the sound of light footsteps and small giggles,sounding like children.

as for touch,she couldn't grab air, and finally smell.

the building had this sort of faint smell of bleach? very pungent,not the best smelling to most people but to beautiful,it brought her comfort.

"hi! welcome to-"

"shh! uh,sorry"
i laughed.
"i just want it to be a surprise for her. um,i have a reservation for Davis,for three o'clock."

beautiful shifted her weight on her feet as she waited impatiently.

"calm down,it's gonna be okay."
i chuckled,telling her in her ear,making her shrug.

"i'm impatient."
she smiled,holding my hands that were covering her eyes.

"right this way."
the receptionist said,leading us back further into the building.

"we hope that you enjoy your time with us,we've dedicated your appointment completely to your request. down to the last detail. if you have any requests or complaints about your room,don't hesitate to contact us via the intercom on the east side of your room. after you're finished with your,well you know,just let us know and we'll escort you to the main hallway."
she said with a small smile.

the two receptionists stopped in front of two double doors,covered in black and gold designs.

"enjoy your show."
one stated as she stood to the side of the doors.

"okay, you can open them."

-

"i'm so nervous."
i told him,looking back at him once more.

"i told you,don't be."
he stated,laying a kiss on my ear lobe,grabbing my hand to hold.

the two men in suits,opened the doors before stepping to the side,allowing us to walk in,before closing them.

we both walked further into the room,only to discover that it was huge,like unusually huge.

what could possibly be in this room.

in the middle of the room sat a large...pool?

it was filled to the brim with clear blue water and had a rope secured around the perimeter of it.

so it's not a pool?

just shy of the pool? or what ever it could possibly be,we're two red velvet recliner chairs with blankets on them.

keith led me to the chair,letting me get comfortable before doing the same for himself.

just as he was pulling the blanket over us,the lights dimmed almost completely dark,allowing the reflection of the blue water to cascade up on the ceiling.

(a/n: okay before you guys find out what the surprise is, what do you think he did for her? i wanna know"

my curiosity got the best of me and i just couldn't help myself,so i leaned over and asked...

"keith?"

he looked over at me in the dark room.
"yeah?"

i licked my lips.
"i hate to be so...curious,and i mean this in the nicest way possible,but where are we?"

keith smirked slowly before turning his head back straight,not saying a word making me worried.

all of a sudden a burst of motion came up from the water,making beautiful gasp in shock before it went back.

"what was that?"
i ask,concerned,making keith laugh.

"keith-"

and once again the object came up from the water,before falling backwards into the pool.

i leaned forward in my seat slightly to get a better look,and just as i did, a whole pod of them came up from the water in a formation before a light variation of music began playing.

i gasped in realization,peering over at keith, who was already looking at me.

i pointed towards the water as a large smile crept up on my face,making him do the same.

"they're dolphins!"

-
