Chapter 27: Dinner Plans
Angelia
Last night, | slept like the dead. After several eventful days, | was thankful | got sshut-eye. For once, | slept
as long as | wanted, taking advantage of my off day.
It was Friday and | hadn't set any plans for today, maybe it would be a good idea to meet up with
the
the
guys to talk if they had time. | needed to know more before | made my decision and they were the only ones who
could providewith the answers | seek. Andy had a good point about ground rules which was added to the list
of things | needed to take up with them. Satisfied with my plan, | reached for my phone to send a quick message
to Riccardo to ask if they had tto talk. Although it wasn't quick, | spent twenty minutes trying to figure out
what to write to him. It was exhausting overanalyzing everything I do. He didn't tabe long before | got a response
from him. 'Dinner at seven, dress in something nice and one of us will pick you up."
Well, I guess that worked, | only had like seven hours to kill before then. What would | do with my spare time? |
considered getting in touch with one of my college buddies but that would probably shock the h**o
out of them. Sure, we were friends but more so at school than outside. | had never

been one of those who were very social, it wasn't that | didn't want to hang out, | just guess it was hard forto
break out of my own little world. Mostly, | was considered unapproachable outside,
of school even if | hadn't meant that to happen.
In my first year at the university, | was busy with school, work and internships. | had probably said too many nos’
to my friends and in the end, they stopped askingto hang out, thinking no means never. It hurt when they
stopped asking but | understood why. It was just now that | wanted to break out of it and I didn't know how. Or
maybe | did, | was just too afraid they would
be the ones to say no tothis time.
In the end, | chose to go for a walk instead. | had too many jittery nerves to stay still and | needed
to burn it off before | met up with them.
When it was finally the tforto dress up for dinner, the nerves I thought | had gotten rid of crushing
back. This wasn't supposed to be a date, right? Because even if we agreed to this wired arrangement, we would
not be dating. That wasn't in the book for either of us. Andy, you need to help me."

| begged when he picked up the call, | was left with no other choice than to call him and ask for his help..
Somehow, he had becthe person | turned to when | needed fashion advice. It felt great to have someone in
my corner. Maybe | should contact my other friends as well. "For the dinner plans?" He asked as he sipped a cup
of coffee, looking slightly disheveled.
Has she been having sex? The question was at the tip of my tongue but | swallowed it down. He would tellif
or when he wanted to. | had told him earlier about the dinner, simply because | needed to talk to someone about
it and he, of course, was all in with my plans. "Yes, he toldto wear something nice. Please help."
In
my mind, something nice was a pretty blouse and skinny jeans with boots but | didn't think that was what
Riccardo meant. "Okay, showyour closet." And did just that, he laughed and directed me.
"I mean where you have your dresses, | don't need to see your band tee shirts."
Fair enough, for rarely wearing dresses, | had a lot of them and that | could thank my mother for it. she and |
were the complete opposite, while she preferred skirts and dresses, | well didn't obviously. My mother always
broughtclothes for gifts, | think spart of her felt robbed for not having the dream relationship with her
one and only daughter. | was the only child and | was never keen on playing dress-up with her as a child. | simply
had no interest in it and so by givingclothes as gifts, she could at least have sof that. In fact, she
bonded over clothes, that was her thing. | didn't have the heart to tell her | couldn't care less about color
combinations or what looked good with what-and | definitely didn't have the heart to tell that most of what she
boughtwould stay untouched in my closet. "Holy s**t!" Andy exclaimed.
"Take out the black dress to the far right, | want to see it."

| did as he asked, grabbed the silky material and laid it out on the bed for him to look at it.
"Yes, that is definitely the one. Wear it with gold heels since it has a gold design on it." He said and-l nodded in
agreement.
"Thank you, | owe you." | turned the camera back to me..
"Just have a great night and we were good."
What have | done to deserve a friend like him? | was so happy | had opened up to him about the

club and the men, it seems it brought us closer. | hung up the call and studied the dress more closely. Yes, | had
to admit, it was so pretty, long silk material, simplistic in design and elegant.
When | put the dress on, it hugged my curves loosely, making my a*** and t***ts look just a little bit. bigger. The
neckline was too low forto wear a bra but | felt comfortable that my breasts wouldn't cout and say hello
to the world. My left leg peeked out through the dress slit. making the elegant dress look s**+y without overdoing
it. | curled my hair just enough to make it wavy and let it hang freely. After my makeup was done, | grabbed my
pink lipstick as a finishing touch.
Looking in the mirror, | didn't see a stranger, like one of those main characters in movies or books usually did.
Instead, | just looked likebut more refined and | love what | saw. When my phone buzzed, my heart jumped
in my chest. Even with all this preparation, I still didn't feel ready but then again, maybe | never would be.
Sometimes, you just had
