-Kim's POV until further notice-
Chapter 11- Ready For the Date?
Shey walks out our room to her Dad's room where she keeps all her "nice" clothes. I close the door so she can't see what I'm picking out and walk over to the dresser I put my stuff in. I begin moving stuff around. Walking into the bathroom I find the little box of makeup I brought with me.
"jeez I need to get more." I mutter as I look at what I have to work with. A tube of red lipstick, mascara, light red eyeshadow, black eyeliner and some coverup. I spread it out on the counter of the sink. I'll figure that out later. Walking back out of the bathroom I sigh as I look at the dresser. I walk over to the closet and open it up so I can look at all my options at once.
"this is more difficult than I thought it would be." I sigh as I think of what to wear.
"Damn it!" I hear Shey yell from down the hall. Guessing she's having the same problem. Walking up to the closet I start skimming threw my clothes. A dress automatically causes my searching to stop. It's a strapless dress that has a bright red top that connects to a ruffled black skirt-like bottom. It looks perfect for a first date. Have I ever even wore this? No, I think I bought it a little while before I was kicked out. My phone buzzes from the bed, I got a text message. I scan it over. It's from my brothers.
Hey Kim whats up?
-T&J
I smile at the text, I haven't talked to them since I started living here.
Hey boys, getting ready for a date :)
-K
I answer back. I put my phone on the bed as I grab the dress out of the closet and lay it on the bed. My phone buzzes.
What's her name?
-T&J
Chuckling I answer back.
Her name's Shey, she's my new roommate.
-K
They've always been accepting of me liking girls. It makes me happy to think my parents haven't brainwashed them. I look at my new message.
Ohh have fun, mom's coming gotta go. Text ya later
-T&J
I look at the screen and place the phone down. Walking into the bathroom I arrange my stuff. I have half an hour to do my makeup. I start with the coverup. The cap comes off easily and I apply it to my face. The eyeliner comes next and I make sure it looks perfect before picking up the eyeshadow. Thankfully the eyeshadow is red, red and black go good together. I'm careful not to put too much eyeshadow on, just enough to do what it's suppose to. Finally, the mascara. Damn, my mascara is running low.
"shit, I really need to go shopping." I mutter as I apply the mascara to both eyelashes. Checking in the mirror I realize how awesome my makeup look. Rushing into the bedroom I look at the time. Good, I still have time to do my hair after. My dress is difficult to get on, of corse I had someone help me the first time I put it on. It takes me 5 minutes to finally get the dress on comfortably and adjusted the right way. I grab my curler and head back to the bathroom. In a few minutes my hair is wavy in the back with curls near the bottom. I look down at my feet.
"shoes." i can't believe I almost forgot, am I that nervous? I find a pair of black flats in the closet and put them on. Looking over myself in the full body mirror I see that my dress is a little shorter than I remembered. It ends only a few inches from my hips.
"ready?" Shey yells from down the hall. I grab my purse and slowly open the door. Shey's walking down the hallway to meet me. She stops in her tracks and looks me up and down.
"wow" she pauses with her mouth hanging open. I smile. Looking her up and down I can't help but giggle. Her style is adorable. She has on jeans with sneakers, a short sleeved black button up shirt and a green tie.
"you look cute." I say after the silence. She finally snaps out of her daze with a smirk.
"you look beautiful." she says with a sincere smile. She holds out her hand to me. I take her hand in mine and lead her down the stairs to the door. When we get to the car she opens the door for me. I slide into the passenger seat and wait for her to start the car.
"where we going?" I ask as I turn on the radio. Shey shakes her head with a smirk.
"it's a surprise." she mutters as she pulls out onto the road. She puts her hand in between our seats and I rest my hand on hers. We sit in silence for a while listening to music. About 20 minutes later we pull into the parking lot of the Cheesecake Factory. A big smile forms on my face. This is my favorite restaurant.
She quickly hops out of the car and runs to the passenger side to open the door for me. We walk into the restaurant and see a huge waiting line. My smile falters. Shey laughs and takes my hand. Pulling me to the front of the line she waves to a waiter. He jumps up when he sees her and runs to give her a hug. It was a very feminine reaction if you ask me. When he pulls away I look at his name tag. It reads "Manager: H. Go" I chuckle. They must be related.
"oh so this must be Kim! You're right she's very beautiful!" he says in a voice that sounds like it couldn't belong to a man. A thought crosses my mind about him but it's better not to judge someone you just met. He wraps me into a hug.
"it's very nice to meet you honey!" he bounces back with his hands under his chin as Shey slips her arm around my waist. "you two are adorable! Lets go get you ladies to your table. I'll wait on you personally!" he says with a wink towards Shey. He starts walking towards the back of the restaurant into a dimly lit area which was decorated with fake leaves along the walls. There are candles on some of the tables. He leads us to a corner booth that is hard to see into unless you walk right up to the table.
I sit down on one side and Shey slides into the other booth.
"so you know him?" I ask with a raised eyebrow. She chuckles and smirks at me.
"yep, he's my cousin. And before you ask, yes he's gay." she says nonchalantly. I shake my head and fake a look of shock.
"oh really? I would have never guessed!" I laugh. A few minutes later H. Go comes back and asks us what we want to drink.
"two of the usual H" Shey says. He nods with a grin and walks away.
"what did you just order?" I ask curiously.
"it's just a strawberry drink with whipped cream." she replies. I give her a questioning look and she chuckles.
"and there's no alcohol I swear" she adds. I nod and look down at the table. I adjust the bottom of my dress and look at the booth I'm in. Glancing around the restaurant it finally dawns on me that this is my first dinner date. I look up at Shey to see her smiling at me. She doesn't show her teeth when she smiles, only when she laughs. She has a cute smile.
"here you go ladies!" H says as he places the drinks in front of us. I thank him and try to calm my heart down. I hadn't even seen him walk up to the table! Holy shit that scared me.
"hey Kimmie." Shey says and snaps me out of my daze. I'm momentarily struck for a moment at the pet name. Kimmie? I've never been called that, but hearing it from her felt nice. "want some chocolate covered strawberries while we wait for our cheesecake?" she asks. Nodding with a smile I wait for H to leave.
"you know..." I begin and she looks at me confused. "it's kinda lonely over here." I pout with a childish look on my face. Without hesitating she gets out of her booth and slides into mine next to me. I feel my face redden now that she's right next to me. She slowly puts her hand on mine. It seems that she's nervous too. I turn my hand to hold hers. In the privacy of our little booth I had no problem leaning my head on her shoulder. Her head leans against mine and I smile.
