I sat down with the Schuyler sisters in their home, their eyes all on me as I looked back at them. "So what happened?" Peggy asked, sitting down on the same couch I sat on.
"Well," I began, my eyes on the ground. "John never did show up for the date."
"He did not," Peggy gasped and held a hand over her chest, acting offended. "For the millionth time? Damn."
"Peggy, stop it," Eliza hit the younger, making Peggy whine in complaint. "Continue, Alex."
I nodded towards her and looked at the table now. "I got drunk after waiting an hour and a half at the restaurant and then Thomas came and picked me up. He let me stay in his home for the night. Then I found out-," I paused, sucking in a breath.
"Take your time, Lex," Angelica told me.
"-he cheated on me with Maria."
The room was silent as Angelica and Eliza exchanged glances. "He what?" Peggy asked, looking towards me.
I looked back at the youngest sister with a frown, biting my lip as to keep my tears in. Peggy had a quick flash of emotion before tears poured down her face. She brought me into a hug and tightened her embrace. "Don't worry, we'll get back at them."
I quietly let my tears fall and I hugged her back, knowing she'll be sad even after I leave. I pull away and I look at her. "Hey, I also have a date."
"Hopefully not with John," Angelica growled.
I turned towards the pink dressed woman. "No, not John. Thomas promised me a true date. He's going to show me how a date actually goes."
"I'm guessing you need our expertise?" Eliza asked, a smile playing on her lips.
"Of course I do. I'm no good at this date thing," I told them honestly.
Peggy touched my face gently, wiping the tears. "There. Now let's get you dressed and ready, hm?"
With that, we got ourselves up and ready for this date.

"He's here!" Eliza called out, rushing the other two Schuylers to finish. They got me to my feet and rushed me to the door. "Okay. Just act like yourself and you'll be okay."
"Am I really going to be okay?" I murmur, looking at all three of them nervously.
"Of course you are! Thomas is here to pick you up, so you can't be ditched today," Peggy assures, hugging my side. "Now go out there to your date."
"Thank you for helping me," I tell the three girls before getting my courage up and marching out to the car. The beautiful, black Ferrari was parked and Thomas was getting out of the car.
"Hey, beautiful," He called out, smiling as he saw what I was wearing. "Damn, you look good!"
I blushed at the compliment and quietly thanked him.
"Hey, don't you worry," he calmly put a hand on my shoulder for comfort. "If you need me to slow down at any time during this date, don't be afraid to tell me. I want you to be comfortable."
I nodded and he opened the door for me. I get in and he shuts it. I take a calming breath and he gets in as well. I buckle up as he does. Then he put it in drive and drove off to where he planned the date.
"Thomas?" I mumble.
"Hm?" He hums, focused on the road.
"I'm nervous."
"For what?" He asked me, his eyes turning to my quickly before returning to the road.
I shrugged. "I don't know. I guess I never expected a day where I actually had a date that would show up would actually come."
Thomas smiled sadly, a hand being placed on my knee. "Don't worry, Alex. I'll make sure every date is perfect and on time."
"Thomas."
"Hm?"
"You were one minute late," I tell him with a smile. He looks at me and cracks a smile, laughing a bit. I burst out laughing as well and he kept driving, laughing as we got to the restaurant.

A gentle hand held mine as we walked down the road, laughing at whatever came to our minds that we spoke aloud.
We calmed down and I relaxed, looking at Thomas. "You know, it's nice to know what a date feels like," I tell him. "It will help me make another date with you as a surprise."
"Surprise ruined then," Thomas teased and I shoved him playfully. "I'm kidding, don't worry."
"I know," I move closer to him and he let go of my hand, swinging an arm around my and rubbing my arm.
"I say we head to the animal shelter and pet some damn animals," Thomas suggests.
"I will want to take one home," I inform him, giggling as he laughed.
"Of course! It'll be our first fur-baby!"
We laughed and went towards the animal shelter. It held mostly dogs and cats, but there were a few other animals held there. As we walked towards it, I noticed John and Maria walking down the road, an arm wrapped around Maria's waist as they walked. They were walking towards me and I seemed to stiffen, my pace coming to a stop.
Thomas quickly held me behind him as he narrowed his eyes at John. John noticed him and realizes what was going on. He quickly removed his arm from her waist and she looks over at Thomas as well. Her face turned as red as her shirt as I peeked my head around the tall Virginian's body.
"Thomas!" John nervously called out, smiling like he was acting innocent. "It's good to see you."
"John Laurens," Thomas acknowledged. "Maria Lewis."
"Hi, Thomas," Maria spoke quietly, her head hung lowly to cover her face.
"It's good to see you two together, hm?" Thomas' tone was cold and heartless, unlike anything I've heard. "What do you think, Alex?"
"Alex?" John murmured, Thomas setting aside to let everyone see me. I felt tears fill up in my eyes as I looked at the two together. They both looked very guilty.
"Hey, John," I mumble weakly.
"Him and I are on a date," Thomas put an arm around me with a stone-hard glare towards John. "I was showing him how a real date went."
Maria and John both looked at each other. "Does Margarita know of this?" Maria spoke softly, her eyes filling up with tears as well.
"Of course she does," I call out, wiping my tears angrily. "How could she not? Not only did you hurt her, you hurt me, too, Maria."
"Hey, don't put the blame on her!" John defended, standing in front of the woman.
"John, you can't be talking. It takes two to tango," Thomas spoke harshly, growling.
"Let's just go, John," Maria said softly, grabbing his hand and trying to drag him away.
John glared at Thomas. "You can not be serious. You stole my boyfriend!"
"You are the one who broke his heart. I'm trying to repair the damages you caused!" Thomas screamed out and I quickly grabbed his hand. He looked at me and his temper cooled down by a lot. "Come on, we have to get there before they close."
We tried to walk past them without trouble, but John caught my arm. "You'll regret this."
I ripped my arm from his grasp and quickly punched him in the nose. "Don't touch me," I told him and turned away, walking with Thomas towards the animal shelter.
That got rid of him.
