Bing, bing, bing. The doorbell goes off; who could be at the door? I get off the couch after binge watching Friends and eating Chinese that Ana and I got for lunch. I peek through the peephole. There's someone standing there that I don't recognize holding a package. I look at Ana and give her the look of I don't know who this is.
"Answer it!" Ana says as she eats the last half of her eggroll. I open the door very slowly.
"Hello, is Ms. Kavanagh home?" The unknown man at the door says.
"Yes I am her. Can I help you?"
"I have this package for you," he hands me the package. "Thank you and have a good day." He turns around as leaves. The package is wrapped in a pale pink shiny wrapping paper wrapped with a white glittery ribbon and bow.
"I wonder what it could be. It doesn't even have a name on it anywhere..." I curiously look all over at the package and there's nothing to be found.
"Open it!" Ana says with excitement. She's always been the impatient one of us. She gets up and comes back with a pair of scissors. I start cutting at the package; I open it and there's a note on top of the tissue paper. I open the note.
Dear Ms. Kavanagh,
Please join me tomorrow night for dinner at 7. I will have a driver waiting for you.
Christian Grey
As I read the letter my heart starts beating out of my chest. Dinner tomorrow night? I made that good of an impression? Why would he want to have dinner? I only asked him a couple questions for Ana?
"Kate! What does it say and who's it from?" I hand her the card, as she reads it I open the tissue paper. There's a gorgeous dress that looks like its a thousand dollars. I take it out of the box and look at in awe. How did he know what size I am? Who is this man?
"OH MY GOSH KATE!" She throws down the card and is inches from hitting our Chinese and grabs the dress from me. "This is gorgeous, I am so jealous!" I'm still sitting in awe at all of this. I can't even come to process this right now. I'm going to have a date with the Christian Grey.
"I wonder why he wants to have dinner with me?"
"Cause you're gorgeous, I mean look at you. What jewelry are you going to wear? How are you going to do your hair and makeup? What shoes are you going to wear? Oh my gosh Kate." She pounds me with questions as she gets up to go to her room to look for something or another. I really don't know what I would do without her. She comes back with jewelry and shoes that will match perfect.
"Here you go, you can wear this tomorrow night!" She lays down the jewelry and puts the shoes on the ground.
"Thanks Ana," I say still in shock of this situation. I start to gather the empty Chinese boxes and empty fortune cookie wrappers. "I better get my beauty sleep tonight, I'm going to need it." I go to the kitchen and throwaway the garbage and then head to bed. I really am going to need this beauty sleep.
After I get off work the next day at 4 I head home to get ready for my big date. I hop in the shower. I blow dry my hair and wait for Ana because she wants to do my hair for the night. She's always wanting to do my hair so I finally gave in and let her. She curls my hair and puts it into some kind of fancy up do. After she's done she leaves the room to let me change and do my makeup. I've always been good at doing my own makeup, so she leaves that for me to do. I finished putting it on and then put on the gorgeous dress. I add Ana's jewelry and heels. I turn around and look myself in the mirror; I look gorgeous. The dress fits perfect, almost like he took my measurements and had it custom made.
"Hurry up and come out! I want to see what yo-" she starts to say just as I'm coming out of my room. "OH MY GOSH!" She stares at me.
"What? Is something wrong?!" I nervously say.
"Oh no nothing's wrong Kate, you look flawless." She gives me the signal to turn in a circle so she can see all of me. "That dress fits you like a glove. It's perfect." She walks to the kitchen. I look at the clock on the wall, 6:37, he should be here soon. Ana walks back in with a glass of wine for me, "to calm your nerves," she says. Perfect, just what I need. I sit on the couch and drink it with her. The doorbell rings. I look at the clock, 7:00, wow perfect timing. He really is good.
I get off the couch grab my coat and purse and open the door. The same guy who delivered the package is standing at the door, "Please Ms. Kavanagh, follow me." I turn around and look nervously at Ana, she waves me off, I turn back around and head out the door.
"Mr. Grey is waiting for you in the car," he states as we head down the stairs.
We get outside and there's a black car waiting, he opens the rear passenger door for me, "after you Ms. Kavanagh." I get in the car. Sitting next to me is Mr. Grey.
"Hello Kate." He says as he gives me a good look up and down. "That dress fits you perfect."
"Yes, it's very nice Christian, but I could have worn something of mine."
"No no, it's a present from me to you for doing the interview. I enjoyed it very much."
"Obviously so much you wanted to take me to dinner," I say with some sass in my voice and give him a little smile.
He makes a little laugh, "yes, I am very interested to know more about you. You intrigued me during the interview, and I am not easily intrigued Ms. Kavanagh." He gives that smirk of his. Every time he does it I just want to grab his face and kiss him.
"Well tonight should be a good opportunity for you to do that Mr. Grey," I say as I start to look out the window to hide my smile. I'm so nervous but so excited at the same time.
