"A date? Why do you think that I will go out on a date?" I scoffed. "Well, this may just be my last wish dear. I want you to be happy," she said as she faked crying. "Oh oh really?" I groaned. "Keechee!" She started wiping away the tears which weren't even there. I felt bad even though she wasn't actually crying. She was the most closest thing to a family to me and I don't want to make her unhappy. "Fine I'll go," I spoke softly. "Huh? What?" She asked as she took a napkin and blew her nose. "I will go to this stupid date," I stated as she quickly pulled me into a hug. "I knew it! I knew you always to go!" She excitedly said. "Um you are making me go and-" I said as we pulled away. "Liar! You have mind blowing desires dear," she interrupted. "—and ok," I finished. I looked at her and she looked delighted by my decision. She always tried to set me up on blind dates but I never went. This is the first time I am going and I hope it turns out well. He better buy me some expensive ass food and drink cause I'm definitely not going to a date and not eating something good and expensive. How do you dress up to a date? Should I wear a dress or pants and shirt? How much makeup should I do? Now is the time for me to watch those makeup videos that keechee keeps on playing. "So uh- Keechee? How should I dress? Who is the guy?" I asked softly. "I already have everything ready for you!" She said excitedly. "Um... okay?" I spoke softly. "The dude is like a Greek God! Let's get you ready!" She said as she dragged me to my room. I saw few items lying on my bed. There was an off shoulder long sleeves black dress along with earrings and necklace. I looked at my grandma and found her smiling. "What?" I asked curiously. "Nothing it's just you will look beautiful!" She said as she clapped her hands. "So when is the date?" I asked as she looked at the clock and panicked. "Oh my god it's at 9:00!" She panicked as she dragged me to the bathroom. "Grandma calm down it's only 7:30," I spoke as I tried getting out of the bathroom but she slapped my shoulder. "Ow, what was that for?" I said. "You gotta be ready! Girls take a long time to get ready!" She stated as she pulled my hair out of the bun. "Um okay? Should I-" I tried asking but before that she pushed me to the chair. She started doing something with my hair. After a while I felt something hot pressing down my ear and I stood up abruptly. "Ow! Keechee!" I looked at her and she looked at me in horror. "What? What happened?" I asked her as I ran my hands through my hair but everything was fine. "I burned your ear," she pouted. "Aww it's ok Keechee," I said as I sat back down and she finished doing everything. She went outside as I wore the dress. She called me outside and I did. She pulled me in front of the mirror and I looked. She made me wear the black off shoulder dress and a necklace. She straightened my hair and they fell nicely on my back. My bangs were nicely placed. She told me that she did light makeup but when I looked at my eyes I was terrified. Smokey eyes are definitely not the true definition of light makeup. According to her, it however is. The maroon lipstick made my lips look full. "Are you sure about this off shoulder dress Keechee because I can like also go in my pajamas?" I asked. "Oh no dear. You look really beautiful," she said as she cupped my face and pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back. "Alright my dramatic Keechee I'm just going on a date not to war. Can I go now? You took a long time to get me ready," I said as she gave me a black purse. "If you need anything just call me," she said. "Alright!" I said. Both of us went outside and it was really cold. Why is always so cold? There was an uber waiting for me outside. I sat inside, waving st Keechee and left. ~~~ As I was walked in the restaurant, a waiter greeted me. "Ma'am your name?" He asked. "Olive. Olive Montgomery," I said as he smiled. "Follow me please?" He said as he took me to my seat. "The date will start at 9:00." I nodded and smiled faintly. How does he know? Do they sponsor it or something? Oh well. I sat down looked at my watch and it was 8:45. I decided to be patient and wait. I saw a card in the middle of the table I was sitting in which said my name on it and also another name. Maybe this was the guy's name. The card said 'Welcome Olive and Richard.' When I read the card, there was a long in my heart and my heart ached. I quickly ignored the feeling and debated on whether I should stay or leave. I decided to stay seated and wait. I looked around and saw many people. On one of the tables there was a guy with glasses and the girl was like a model. The guy kept on drinking water and listened to the girl talking. He didn't even get to talk. I hope my date lets me talk. On a different table there were two girls who were holding each other's hand. This is the perfect type of relationship. No complaints or regrets. I sighed. Suddenly a girl walked in. I looked at her and found her shouting at the waiter. Her hair were dirty blond and short. She had brown eyes. She wore a pink dress which was really short. She walked to one of the empty tables and sat down. After a while I looked out the window and didn't see anyone coming. Suddenly the door opened and another man walked in. When I looked at him, I recognized him instantly. He is the guy from the grocery store who was staring at me. I stood up as he came closer to my table. "Olive?" He asked as I caught him looking at the card. "Richard?" I narrowed my eyes. He didn't respond for a second and then nodded slightly. His eyes wandered around my face and then narrowed. He looked at me as if he already knew me well. "You look great Olive," he spoke. "Why thank you! You don't look bad yourself," I commented. "Thank you," he said. He pulled my chair and smiled at me as both of us sat down. "Thank you," I muttered.
