Chapter 58

Previously "What's going on?" I ask, looking at my mom, my brother and Mason "We're going on a date" Mason smiles Now "But I'm not dressed for a date," the stress is clear in my voice as I look at my outfit. A simple skinny jeans and a simple shirt. My mom smiles brightly and takes me by the arm. I follow her upstairs to see Jade in my room, smiling. "Where did you come from?" I ask confused "When I dropped you off, Jay snuck me in through the backdoor and I hid in his room" she smiles Before I can answer her, she has pushed me in a chair and starts curling it. Meanwhile, my mom is skimming through my closet and is pulling out every single dress I have ever owned. "No" "No," I answer again "Hmm, how about this one?" She asks me, but Jade quickly shakes her head "That red one on the left" Jade says instead "No! That was from when I was like what? eleven or something" "Why do you still have it then?" Jade asks the confusion clear in her voice "Because, I don't know" I whine "Sit still, we have to get you ready in 20 minutes" "Sorry" I eye my mom and see her holding a navy blue dress. Jade gasps from behind me and I know she is thinking the same thing as I'm thinking. It's perfect. "That's definitely the one" I mumble "Chop chop children, we can't keep the handsome boyfriend downstairs waiting too long" my mom says, just as Jade finishes the last curl I jump up and my mom helps me put the dress on. I completely forgot I had this one. I had bought it for the dance at my old school, but before I was able to wear it, we moved away. It still fits perfectly. "Can you keep the make-up light?" "Sure" Jade quickly gets started on it and 5 minutes later she's done. I look in the mirror and admire the image flashing back. Just 15 minutes ago I looked so casual and now, now I look fancy and it's a very weird sight. I almost never wear dresses, not because I don't like them. I just love my jeans a little bit too much. My mom hands me black heels, but I quickly shake my head. Instead, I grab some fancy looking sandals and put them on. "You look stunning" Jade mumbles and I blush at her words "I couldn't agree more," my mom says, "I'll see you downstairs" she gives me a quick kiss on my cheek before going downstairs. I turn to Jade with a smile on my face. Unfortunately that soon disappears, seeing the mischievous look on her face. "What?" I ask, frowning in the meantime She hands me a small package, making me more confused than I already was. I hesitantly take it. "What is it?" "Just look at it" she grins I take a look, but as soon as I see what it is, I hand it back to her. "Jade!" "What? Better safe than sorry" she smirks "Nothing like that is going to happen" I hiss "Just take it Lexa, you never know what might happen" she wiggles her eyebrows suggestively at me "Fine, but I hate you for this" I groan The satisfied look on her face tells me enough and before she can say more, I have stuffed the small package in my purse. "Shoo, hurry up, someone is waiting for you downstairs" she chuckles, pushing me downstairs "Yeah yeah" I set foot on the last step of the stairs as Mason holds his hand out for me to take. A blush spreads across my face as I take it and set foot on the floor again. In the corner of my eyes, I see my mom putting the flowers in a vase. "You look absolutely beautiful" "Thank you" I mumble and smile at my family and best friend "Enjoy your date," my mom says "Bring her home safely," Jayden follows "Have fun," Jade says and winks at me. I narrow my eyes in respond, but we quickly burst out laughing "You ready?" Mason asks "Yes" ——————————————————————————————— "Where are we going?" I ask for the billionth time "Lex, just shut up and wait" "But I can't, I wanna know and can I please take this thing off?" "Nope, then it isn't a surprise anymore" I suck in a breath, when I feel Mason's hand on my thigh. "But," I mumble, knowing that he is smirking very brightly right now "No" I groan defeatedly as I let Mason drive us to the place where we're supposed to have a date, while I try to ignore the tingling feeling from his hand on my thigh. "We're here" I hear Mason's door open and soon after my door opens as well. "Give me your hand please" I do as he says and he helps me out off the car. "Can I take it off now?" "No" I feel his hand on the small of my back as he guides me to, yeah, to some place. "You can take it off now" I quickly take the blindfold off and gasp in shock. There's a lake, surrounded by woods and right now we're standing on a small grass field that's next to the lake. There is a blanket covered with pillows and colored lights are hanging everywhere. Lastly but not least, there is a loooott of food. "You did all of this?" I ask shocked "With a little help yeah" he smiles "I love it, it's amazing" I turn around and face Mason. I can't believe he actually did all of this for me. "Thank you" I smile and push my lips against his ——————————————————————————————— "Why did you do all of this?" I ask as I lay down on the pillows "Because I felt like we hadn't been on a real date yet" I knit my eyebrows in confusion. "Wait, huh? You're right, I hadn't even thought about that" I smile We've been dating for a few months now, but we haven't been on a real date yet. This is my first real date with Mason. Dámn. "And I wanted to spent some alone time with you" he smiles cheekily I look him close in the eyes, looking for something that shows me he really cares. A few tears form in my eyes as I find an emotion I didn't expect to find. Love. "Mason" I whisper, not even knowing if he heard me or not "Yeah?" "I love you"
