I would like to say a few words. Oof. Earlobe. Chair. Enjoy...
(Peggy's POV)
I can't believe it. We were sitting in Angelica's car, driving home. I had finally been released. I jumped out of the car, cheering and whooping. "Stop it Pegs, you're supposed to be saving your energy." She was right, but I continued jumping up and down. She groaned and slammed the door shut. "Did they give you sugar medicine?" She pulls out her keys. I giggled, "Maybe."
I ran up the stairs and found Maria in my room. "AHH! Why are you in here?" I shrieked. "I have a key." She said as though it was the most obvious thing ever. I shrugged and plopped down next to her on my bed. "Oh my god, the best thing happened after I left yesterday." She exclaimed. I leaned in, interested. "James Reynolds asked me out." "I thought you were already dating?" "Yeah, but not actual dating. But he asked me out on a romantic dinner tonight." I squealed. "OOH! Wait! Did you say tonight?" Maria nodded slowly. "Then we need to start getting you ready." I pulled her to my vanity. "Why? He said the dinner is at six and it's only nine thirty. And you've never been on a date before. You don't know how to get me ready." I shook my head. "I had to get Eliza ready for her dates with Alex, and Angelica for John Church. The reason we're starting now is because we need to prep you with all the necessities and scenarios. We need to get you to memorize what to say in any time, and how to save you from awkward situations." She have in with a sigh and I got to work, making flash cards, choosing dresses, picking out shoes, packing on makeup, and fiddling with hair.
"Finally!" I cried. Maria twirled around. She was wearing a short red dress, sheer white tights, a pretty shawl, red heels, basic makeup with a bright red lipstick, and her hair was twisted in a braided crown. "Oooooh! Lovely!" Angelica pokes her head in from the doorway. "Dad's our getting Eliza from the park. Do want me to drop you off Maria?" I looked at my watch. 5:28. "Aaah! Late late late! Maria go now." "It's five twenty eight? I have thirty minutes." Angelica clucked her tongue. "Be early, so if he cancels, say your already there and he was a waste of time. That way, he feels bad. Or, you impress him with punctuality." Maria nodded slowly and gave me a small hug. "Make us proud. Don't forget your bag! Goff luck!" I called as the two of them left. My phone dinged.
John: Where did you go?
Poop. I forgot to tell John I'd been released.
Me: Home. Sorry forgot to tell you
John: it's ok can I come over?
Me: fine with me
John: see u soon
I looked in the mirror. I tidied up my room, fixed my bun, pulled a yellow sweatshirt on, and changed into gray sweat pants. The bell rang a few minutes later. I pulled it open. "Come in my good sir." I bore low, imitating a servant. John grinned. "I would like to see a one Peggy Schuyler." He replied, bowing back. "The mistress is this way. Please follow me, not before taking of your shoes." He slid them off. "Oh so you're the mistress?" He said as we walked up the stairs. "There is no doubt that I am the true mistress of the kingdom of Pegs." I replied. "No doubt." John echoed. I pulled my bedroom doors open. He sat in my chair and I flopped on his lap, lying across the bed. He lied back too, and absentmindedly stroked my hair, humming a made up tune. I sat up. "What do we do to pass time?" I asked. He rose to a sitting position and shrugged. "Well then, we'll just have to have fun." I pulled out a sketch pad from under my pillows and sketched the outline of one John Laurens. His curly hair was difficult, but the eyes were even harder. I decided to make him hold a turtle and be wearing a turtle onesie. He loooked at my paper. "I'm not that obsessed. Actually, second thought, I am." He put an arm around me and I started poking in leg with my pencils. "Stop. I said stop! Please? No? Okay fine. Ow! That hurts. Ughhhhhh."
Hey everyone. I decided to make this chapter just fluffy and not too interesting. You know what I mean? Next chapter might be a Maria and James day night thing. Welp, hope you enjoyed.
