CHAPTER THREE: pants, skirts, dresses and flowers
I put my key in the lock and enter my brownstone by 7:25pm.
I threw my multiple bags towards the closet then ran upstairs and jumped into the shower, leaving a trail of my clothes and belongings on the floor.
I quickly got clean and blow dried my hair. then I ran to my walk in closet throwing different outfits on my bed that could be a possibilty for tonight.
Now I'm standing on the left side of my bed looking down to the several different outfits I layed out. I look each one over slowely trying to make a decision.
'What to wear, what to wear? Let's see here, I wore a pants suit today at work...so that's out of the question.'
I grab the black outfit and toss it towards the floor of my closet.
'Maybe a skirt and the new blouse I bought last week? Nah, to fancy.'
I throw that selection the same direction as the pants suit.
'Perhaps a dress could do the trick?'
I pick up two of my favourite dresses.
One being a new red halter top cocktail dress that came just above the knees and has a silky darker red band around the upper torso.
The second one being a black strapless that was tighter around the chest, meeting a black belt to go around the middle torso letting it flow loosly to just below the knee. It also has a sparkly fabric below the belt.
'Why is this so diffucult!" Now frusterated I throw the two peices of clothing back on the bed and sit on the trunk at the foot of it.
I let out a huge sigh and stood up to check what I have in my drawers. Before opening the top one, I glance ath the alarm clock on the night stand. 7:45pm.
'CRAP! He'll be here in 15 minutes!' Now knowing the time, I start moving at a million miles an hour.

I run to the washroom and quickly brush my teeth while fixing my hair. I take a step back and look in the full length mirror on the back of the door.
'I think I've out done myself this time!"
Starting at my feet I look up and down at my outfit for a final approval.
After running around making the impossible possible, I settled on my favourite red V-neck T-shirt which hugs to my body in every perfect way. I also decided on my dark blue skinny jeans which made my behind super fine! Ending with my new short black pixie boots that Garcia bought me for christmas.
I look in the mirror above my bathroom sink, once more adding finishing touches on my make up and runnig my fingers thorugh my hair which I left down in my natural waves and curls.
Taking out my cell phone I look at the time, 7:58pm.
'Not to bad there Prentiss!' I give myself a smug look in the mirror then turned to grab my bag from my bed and head down stairs to wait for his arrival.

Not a minute past eight when I hear three gentle knocks at my door.
I set down my bag on the kitchen table then turned to walk towards the front door. I look through the peep hole and smile at what I see standing there. Not that I expected anyone else, it was just to sureal to believe this was really happening. I unlock the door and slide the lock undone and opened the door.
"Hey." He said with a shy smile.
He pulled the hand out from behind his back to reveal a small boquet of several different flowers. I recognize most of them; Three white roses accompanied by white ivy intwined within them, Then there were red and white rosebuds surrounding the full flowers, mixed in with the buds there is white violets, The other two I don't know the name of.
"These are for you," He says passing them to me and shyly smiling. "The white roses and ivy are known for Innocent intentions, pureness and promise of allegiance" I bring them up to my nose and inhale the sweet flowery sent they give.
"The red rose buds mean New and full of life, pure heart and the white rose buds have the meaning of A heart new to love." I examine the bunch, then look up to meet his twinkling eyes and smile.
"The White Violets state 'Let's take a risk.' Just like we are doing now" He shyly laughs. I let a small giggle pass my lips, He smiles at me.
"The last two are called 'Forsythia and Hawthorn," He says pointing to the two I didn't know the name of. "Forsythia means Excitement, Hawthorn stands for Anticipation."
"This are beautiful Spencer! Thank you!" I lean down and kiss him on the cheek. He blushes instantly, I smirk at him and hold back the giggle waiting to enter the world.
"Please come in!" I step out of the way to let him in. "I'll just find a vase to put these in!" I say after closing the door.
"Okay, take your time." He says with his hands in his pockets and his 'Spencer smile' upon his lips. I smile back and continue to the kitchen to find something to put the flowers be brought me in.
"Here we are." I say walking back with the vase full of flowers. I set them on the island in my kitchen and walk out to meet him in the open area at my front door.
"Wow" Is all I can manage to say.
At that moment I finally got a full veiw of his appearance. I see how great he actually looks! I mean he always looks amazing, with the clothes he wears to work even if they are a bit geeky, but now it's like a whole other person.
I take a moment to look at him from bottom to top. The man in front of me stands in his old converse shoes, with his hands in the pockets of his dark blue Skinny Jeans! A black belt goes through the loops of said jeans, and a light blue white pin stripped dress shirt is tucked in to his pants, the arms of his shirt are rolled up to his elbows. the top few bottons aren't done up showing the white undershirt he wears underneath. He isn't wearing a tie. He has his adorable glasses on, and his short hair is perfect! Almost as if he got a hair cut just before. He also had a very dark almost black navy blue coat hung over his arm.
"You look amazing! I never knew you owned anything more than slacks and sweater vests!" I joke shooing away the awkward silence from no speaking from each of us.
"Thanks." He smiles. "You also look...wow" He says as I walk over to grab my bag from the table. I turn back to see him looking at me, only this time he had a different look to his eyes. 'It's peacful, and adorable. Not mad, or saddened like it has been for many months since my return.' I think while walking back to Spencer.
"Ready to go?" He asks holding out my coat. I smile at him and he smiles back.
"Ready." I confirm as he helps me put it on. 'Such a gentlemen' I think as I finish buttoning the buttons. I set the alarm then he opens the door and I walk out then turn pulling out my keys."Where is it we are going anyways?" I ask locking the door behind us.
"Oh, You'll see." He says with a cocky grin. He leads me down the stairs to the sidewalk by putting his hand at the small of my back. The small contact between us sent my skin feeling tingly all over. We approch his car where he opens the door for me and I climb in. When he climbs into the driver's seat he starts the engine and pulls out to the not so busy street and begins to drive straight. I still not knowing where we are heading look out the window to see buildings and different signs pass, non of which gives me any clue where we are heading. When we stop at a red light I turn to him and ask,
"Okay, you stumped me! I cannot for the life of me figure out where we are going!" I say throwing my hands up landing in my lap. He tears his eyes away from the light and smiles at me.
"Are you going to tell me?" I ask looking back at his smiling face. He shakes his head.
"Will you at least give me a hint?" I ask turning my head look out the front windshield.
"Nope." Is all he says still smirking at my lack of knowledge. The light turns green so he pulls forward still driving straight. I take sigh and look out the window at the passing cars, signs, and buildings.
"Fine." He says getting my attention. "One hint, but that's it!" Spencer continues eyes still on the road.
"Okay, what is it then?" I say a bit excited.
"We are going to a restraunt." He says while the smile reappears on his face. 'It's like he enjoys my frustration.' I think to myself. I playfully glare at him causing him to smile bigger.
"You know what...I...fine." I fold my arms at my chest, sit back and sigh. I look back over to him, he lightly laugh when I stick my tounge out at him.
"Don't worry we will be there soon!" He says taking a right at the stop light. I look out the window again and smile still wondering what and where he is taking me.
