Candice and I sat down on the couch and we talked for another 15 minutes. She invited me to dinner with her family at her mother's new Italian restaurant. I couldn't say no.
Then I headed upstairs into my room to change into an outfit:

Once Candice and I stepped outside, we walked over to her new white Chevrolet and I opened the passenger door and hopped in as she sat down in front of the steering wheel.

"Hungry?"
She questioned as she hit the gas and the car goes speeding down the road. I almost had to hold onto my seat. I nod.

If I wanted to, I could walk to her house, but it was over 80 degrees outside and to her that's sweltering. Before we drove to her house, we stopped at the drive thru at Dunkin Donuts and I ordered a small coffee.

Because of how great her driving skills are *Note the sarcasm*, I wasn't able to drink it until after we arrived in front of her house, with a screeching halt.

As we walked up the stone steps, she opened the door and we walked into her living room

"Candice, is that you?"
Her mother questioned and she yells back to her as she grabbed my wrist and we run up the carpet steps towards her room:

“Wanna see my dress?”
She asks with wide, exited eyes and I nod

“Sure”
And she skips over to her closet in the corner of her room. I walk over to her bed and take a seat on the edge, then I slide my heels off and throw them aside.
I look back at her and she pulls out a long object with a white bag over it. Then she walks towards me and lays it on the bed. She lifts the bag away:

“Looks tight.”
I say and gives me a look

“Very”
There was a short pause, but then she continues

“But I like it.”

“I bet the boys like it too.”
And she pushes me

“Shut up”
and I laugh

“Now we need to find you something to wear.”
I look at her and whine as she takes her dress back over to the closet and stuffs it in. Then she takes out her phone and presses a button for the blue-tooth speaker to turn on. Suddenly the room is filled with The Chainsmokers.

I watched her rummage through her closet and she pulls out a long, red dress

“How bout this one”

“I’m going for the free food, unlike you”
I begin to say and she raises her eyebrow

“I wouldn’t be able to eat in that!”
And we both laugh

“I forgot how much I missed you.”
She returns to the closet and pulls out another dress, but I couldn’t help it but laugh. It didn’t even look like a dress; more like a long, thin sheet.

“Does it look like I would wear that?”
I question and she lifts the dress to look at it again, then shakes her head.

“Well then, you’re not going to like a-“
She began to say, but stopped and her mouth opened wide and curved into a large grin; like she came up with a marvelous plan.

“I got it!”

We tip-toed down the hallway towards her mother’s bedroom slowly as if we were starring in a detective movie. Candice grasped the knob in her hands and began to twist it, then it creaked open:

She walked in front of me slowly and in the corner of the room, there was a large white door. Candice took in a deep breath and wrapped her hand around it, turning it and pushed it open.
We gasped

“Oh my God”
Candice almost screams and I shush her loudly.

“You’ve never been in here before?”
I question surprised

“Hell no”
I walk around the room, looking at the dress shirts, dresses and suddenly I glance ahead into a small back room and I feel drawn as I walk slowly towards one of the most beautiful dresses I have seen:

I lifted my hand up to touch the fabric. It felt soft. I felt power. I could hear Candice walking over to me

“It’s pretty; a little too dark for my taste though.”

“I like it…”
I say, unable to look away. There was a short pause, then she continues.

“Sold. Now let's go eat”
I nod my head and force myself to look away from the dress. Then we make our way out of her mother’s room and into the hallway. I suddenly remembered I didn’t have breakfast and my stomach began to grumble like a demon.

I went back to Candice’s room to get my heels and she went into the bathroom across the hall to get ready for the fancy dinner.

In about 20 minutes we walked downstairs and into the living room, then we walked side by side slowly outside towards her car, trying not to fall in our heels and when I sit down in the passenger’s side, we take off.

She turns the music up, playing Weak by AJR and we scream the lyrics in the summer breeze with the windows down and our souls pumped.
When we reached the restaurant, she rolled up the windows and turned the engine off. She shrugs

“Ready?"
