57Bailey's pov
I sat there, stunned and speechless, re-reading his messages over and over again. Kaleb was
coming to pick me up in three hours for our first date? This was not only unexpected but so sudden
especially after the tension between us earlier.
But the way he expressed his intentions sent a shiver down my spine and I can't help but feel a
buzz of excitement and nerves.
The idea of going on a first date with Kaleb made my heart flutter and for butterflies to stir in my
belly. As far as I know, Kaleb had never been one to go on dates with any girl he has ever been with
before.
That alone made me smile as I type out a quick okay, excitement buzzing in my body.
~
I have been under the shower spray for the longest, running my hand through my hair nervously.
There's an anxious feeling in my body as the time ticks by.
It has since been two and a half hours since I got the text from Kaleb. We settled on a time and he
would be here in exactly thirty minutes to pick me up for our first date.
I am on edge, uncertain on how to dress or where we were going. He said it was a surprise which
heightened my nerves.
I closed the tap and stepped out of the shower. Wrapping the towel around me I walked to the
mirror.I stood in front staring at my reflection that was blurry from the steam that lingered in the bathroom.
With a sigh I wiped away the fog and stared at myself, contemplating what to wear for the date.
Since I didn't have a clue on where exactly we were to go, I didn't know what I should wear. I
wanted impress him and I never wanted to impress anyone before.
But how do I impress someone who had seen way hotter girls before?
I chewed on my lips as I towel dried my hair then plug the blow dryer. As the hot cool air brushed on
my strands my stomach weighed with tickling butterflies.
Come on Bailey, it's not like you need to overdress to impress Kaleb. This is Kaleb, you've known
him for years. He won't care how you dress.
Sighing, I continued to blow dry my hair and when done, I walked out the bathroom to make a
beeline for my closet. I pulled out a simple shirt and a ripped jean shorts. I got dressed and picked
up my phone to check for not only the time but to see if Kaleb had sent a text.
It's almost five thirty and he can be here any second now. I squealed inwardly, smiling as I hurried
toward the bathroom.
I needed to make sure I looked good. I pouted when some of my hair looked frizzy. Crouching, I
opened the cabinet at the bottom of the sink to pull out some leave in conditioner. As I applied it to
my hair, I stood up and peered at my reflection.
I flushed.
Doing all this for a guy.
" Will he even notice my efforts?" I whispered, brushing my fingers through my hair to make sure I
had no fly aways." I will."
I froze, my eyes bulging slightly as his voice reaches my ears. I must be day dreaming or
hallucinating. There is no way Kaleb is here right now, in my room, just a few steps away.....
I turned my eyes slightly to catch him in the reflection of the mirror. He is leaning against the
doorframe, a soft smile on his face. There's a twinkle in his eyes as he peered at me.
noveldramaI roll my bottom lip between my teeth and bite shyly.
His smile widen and he pushes off the doorframe, striding over to me. " You look beautiful." he
whispered, now standing behind me and studying me through the mirror. The peek of his white
teeth flashed as he grinned.
I looked down, flushing. " When did you get here?"
I held my breath when he suddenly grab a lock of my hair, twirling it around his finger playfully. I lift
my head and our eyes once again connect, enchanting me. My heart thrums and my body buzz.
" You're always beautiful to me flower," he whispered, his eyes conveying the truth of his words.
I bit my lip harder to suppress my smile and instead rolled my eyes and whirled around, only to be
pressed into the countertop with his warm hard body flat against mine.
" My dad and mom is home. They may walk in and see us." I said awkwardly, ogling at his blue shirt
to avoid his lips and eyes.
A soft hum of a chuckle escapes his mouth and he murmured. " They won't walk in on anything that
they haven't known themselves."
My brows furrowed and I lift my eyes to his, confused beyond measure. What did he mean?Did mom and dad know about us?
Kaleb's lips spread into a soft grin.
" Why do you think I came earlier than expected? I came to talk to your parents." He whispered, his
fingers gently pushing some of my dark strands away from my vision and behind my ear.
He's staring at me with that look again. That soft mind numbing look that made my heart sing.
I raised a brow in surprise when his words registered. " You-
I began to stutter.
A low chuckle slipped past his lips and he nod. " I am going to do right by you Bailey. I want you and
everyone to know how serious I am about this." He interlocked our fingers together and gently
squeeze.
His gaze dropped to my lips and his voice soften into a barely there whisper. " I am very serious
about you Bailey."
My body hums and my heart skips. I recognize these feelings now. I have grown used to them when
he is beside me.
I peeked up at him through my lashes, nervously biting my lip. " What did they say?"
I was no fool. I knew what he meant when he said he spoke to my parents. They now know about
us. I would've thought I'd be upset about him telling them without my permission but somehow, I felt
the opposite.
He sighed, his forehead leaning against mine.
With his reaction, I grow nervous and bit my lip hard." Well let's just say your dad wasn't too happy."
My belly shifted with unease and I grew nauseas. I looked into Kaleb's eyes and they crinkled at the
corners as he beamed wide. " That I was going to take his little girl."
He chuckled, kissing my nose and pulling away just before I could smack him on the chest for
playing with me and getting me worried. I glower at him.
He smirked. " Who could ever hate me." He motioned from his head to his toes and I rolled my eyes
despite feeling butterflies flying wildly in my stomach.
" Well at the moment, me." I lied, pushing off the counter and before I could side step him, I am
back in his arms.
He smiled softly. " Well let's see if I can change this today."
