"Cece, wake up."
I grunted in reply.
"Come on Cece, we gotta get ready." Rocky said as she shook me.
"Ok, ok, I'm awake." I exclaimed.
"Oh, someone's cranky."
"What time is it?" I mumbled as I slapped my head with my pillow.
"It's two pm," She retorted," You wouldn't wake up when I tried to wake you up so I just let you sleep while I went about choosing my outfit for tonight."
"Tonight?" I exclaimed," I'm a hot mess!"
"I'll help you get ready." She said prompting me to get in the shower.
The hot water stung me skin, but the sleep still lingered in my eyes.
I got out of the shower and wrapped myself in my fluffiest towel, and walked into my room.
"So what do you think?" Rocky said holding up two outfits.
"Um… I don't think any of them will look good on me."
"Not you, me!" She retorted.
"What I thought…?"
"When I said I was choosing my outfit, I didn't mean I actually finished choosing my outfit." I rolled my eyes.
I looked over my closet. "Hey Rocky, what type of date is it?"
"The Olive Pit kind. You know, day equals casual, night equals semiformal, so sauce it up." She said examining her own outfits.
I looked over my closet again. After a while, I found a one shoulder grey mini dress, with pinstripe beading with pink, turquoise, and silver beads. I straightened my hair and put it in a ponytail, put on my biggest hoops, and wore my silver heels.
"What do you think?" I said to Rocky.
She was still deciding what outfit to wear.
"Oh my God, Cece how do you do it?" She said gawking.
"How do I make a bolt of fabric look this good? Easy, Dancing, Fun, and Friends, I know it sounds corny but it's true."
"You're crazy." Rocky said.
"You're crazy, you've taken God knows how many hours to choose an outfit and you still haven't chosen." I said throwing my hands into the air, making me lose her balance, leading to an embarrassing fall.
"Mm-hmm, nice Cece, nice." Rocky said looking down on me.
I scowled in reply.
"Choose the one of the right." I said.
"Fine." She replied going into the bathroom to change.
I took the window of opportunity to text Ty.
Me: hey ty, watcha doin?
Ty: getting redy 4 2nite
Me: ur sis is crazy, she can't choose 1 outfit
Ty: at least she's over there n not here
Me: I'm done gettin redy… hbtchu com down or get deuce so it looks lik ur visitin
Ty: Sure im bord nwy
I walked out into the lounge to wait for him. There he was, waiting for me. He beat me to it.
"Hey." I said trying to sound casual.
"Hey." He said looking at me up and down. I relished it. I hope his mouth went dry in excitement.
"Take a picture, it lasts longer." I said jutting my head out. I could tell that he snapped back into reality, because he blinked a few times.
"Sorry, got any food? I'm hungry."
"We got some chips, some soda, get me some while you're at it." I said going back into my room.
Rocky was still in the bathroom.
I changed into some house clothes and walked back out.
"You changed."
"Way to go Captain obvious." I said saluting him.
He laughed.
"I see no chips." I stated bluntly.
"Couldn't reach, and that's me." He said.
"Damn mom, putting all junk food near on the 'impossible-to-reach' high shelf."
"Come on, we'll do it together." He said.
Considering Rocky would take a very, very long time, I just shrugged and followed him into the kitchen.
"Seeing as you couldn't even get the chips, I'll need some help."
"How exactly?"
"Just lift me up, you're strong enough." I said smugly, remembering the closet.
"Fine, but it Rocky-"
"Rocky's in my bathroom, and considering it took her around six hours to choose an outfit, I don't think she'll be out any time soon." I explained.
"Good point." He said stroking his chin as if thinking.
"Come on, lift me up my friend."
"Wouldn't it just be smarter if you got up on the counter and then stood from there?"
"Good point!" I realized that he was just being lazy.
I got up on the counter and saw the chips. I licked my lips. Barbeque was my favorite flavor.
I grabbed the bag but realized there was a problem. I was on the very edge of the counter, and my feet were slipping.
"Ty, now might be a good time to catch me." I exclaimed.
Catch me he did. Well, I more fell on him, but there was no moan of pain, so he was ok.
"Thanks for being my human pillow." I said kissing him on the cheek.
"You're welcome." He replied all gentleman like.
Suddenly, my phone vibrated.
Rocky: Cece, emergency! I don't know whether to go straight, or curly, much less up or down!
Me: Coming.
"Your sister needs me, so I guess I better go."
"See you tonight?" He held my hand to stop me from leaving. This was the second time he used that trick.
"Sure." I said pulling my hand away and smirking.
I'll admit, Rocky was a bit of a killjoy just then. I was sensing a great romantic moment, but on account of her being my best friend, obligations come over pleasure.
"I'm so ready!" Rocky squealed.
"You should be, you've been getting ready for around eight hours now." I grinned like a fool, knowing that I was the wittiest person I know.
Rocky had finally decided on, with my help, a pair of white pants (pricey too), and flowy strapless floral top, low green blue heels, and a necklace that fell just above, well an area she felt right to accentuate, if you know what I mean.
I was helping her finish her hair (she had decided to wear it down), when she said this," I know that you probably won't like Gunter, but you really need to get back into the dating game."
A pulled a section of her hair and gave her a wry smile, as to say, I don't care, I have a secret boyfriend already.
Apparently I'm no good at facial expressions. I looked like my face had been messed up by botox.
"The guys will be waiting downstairs now, so let's go." She said smoothing out her shirt.
"Ok then, let's, you've been saying that for the last half an hour."
"Then let's go." We took the stairs down, much to my disapproval.
"Stop your whining Cece, they're just a pair of heels, they won't hurt you."
I was thinking about her argument so much that I didn't realize that the guys were waiting right at the bottom of the stairs.
"Oh my God!" I heard Rocky say as she ran down to Deuce. That's when I tripped. And fell. Into Ty's arms.
"Oh my God Cece are you ok?" Rocky said, trying to stifle a laugh.
"Yah, I'm fine." I said avoiding eye contact with Ty.
He got the signal and let me go, and I gracefully walked down the remaining two stairs.
"This, Rocky, is why I hate heels." I said as I walked by her side.
"Oh, Can it." She said cheerily, locking her arm in Deuce's.
"Hi, we have a reservation for six." Ty said with as much bravado as he could muster.
"Name?"
"Blue, Ty Blue."
"Oh, you're friends got here an hour ago." He said directing us to a table. We didn't really need directions, the Hessenheffers shined like Beacons signaling, STAY AWAY!
Naturally, Rocky sat next to Deuce, I sat next to Gunter, and Ty sat on my other side. He was opposite from Tinka.
It was so hard not to play footsie with him.
"So," I said trying to break the silence," Everyone ready to order?"
I heard a murmur of yes in the group, so I called a waiter.
"Ah yes and are we ready to order?" I thought this was a stupid question seeing as if we asked him to come over, obviously we were ready to order.
"Yes, I'll have a," I thought for a few seconds. I was hungry, and steak isn't exactly lovey dovey food so," Yes, I'll have the 12 oz rib eye with Garlic butter."
I felt the collective group of stares, and realized they thought it would be too big for me.
"I haven't eaten all day, I deserve some treat." I explained.
"Yes, und I vill have the goat head."
"We don't serve-"
"How outrageous. Then ve vill have goat stew."
"Me too!" Tinka demanded.
"I'm sure we can make something." The waiter reassured.
"I'll have the spaghetti bolognaise, large." Deuce said. Rocky didn't order so I assumed they were sharing.
"And I," Ty started kicking my leg ever so gently," I will have the fettuccine." He said handing his menu to the waiter.
"Drinks?" He asked.
We all had water, remembering the Pimms incident.
"So, baybee," Gunter said putting his arm around me. It felt like dead weight.
"I can already see a couple out of you to!" Rocky said.
"I know, ve are as you Americans say, two pods in a pea, no?"
I nudged Ty's leg and we started a game of footsie.
"Cece?" Gunter asked.
"Oh, what, sorry I was spaced out for a bit there." I replied not hiding my disinterest in the conversation.
Before he could try and ask anything our food came.
I was never more relieved to see a steak in my life.
I took a bite, and savored it and realized that I really was hungry. I started shoveling the food into my mouth, hoping to scare Gunter.
It might have worked but I was to focused on Ty. He was eating his food so casually as if it didn't matter.
I continued shoveling, and watched as looks of disgust grew on Gunter, Tinka, Deuce, and Rocky's faces.
"What, I'm hungry." I reasoned. They looked back down at their meals, obviously not hungry.
I wiped my mouth and realized that it was disgusting, but I didn't care.
Ty was laughing on the inside, because I caught a brief look at him, and he was smiling like an idiot.
"He doesn't care," I thought to myself," Score!"
Next chapter will be more of what happens after the date, so tune in and donate your time and crap…
Bye
