Understanding my mate

Getting ready

I go into my room and see this amazing dress laying on my bed. Gorgeous formal dress. I do not even know where it came from although it is here. With a pair of dress shoes in a small wristlet bag. The dress is a beautiful pink lace with flowers embroideries on the bottom.

It has sleeves that go right past the elbow. A shimmer all over that is barely noticeable until the light hits it. The shoes, ah the shoes are my absolute favorite. They're not a pair of heels but instead they are like jeweled mesh ballet flats in a soft blush color. The little wristlet bag is simple but also a soft blush color. I love it!

Then I see the note that says, I think this dress would be wonderful for the party tonight. But it does not say who it is from, maybe my mother? But how did she even know about the party and why would she think that I would go to it.

I ran downstairs and looked for her, but I could not find her. I was going to send a quick text asking about it but remembered she said this morning that they were short staffed, so she was going to work a double and take a nap on her lunch break. I did not want to disturb her. I decided to wait until I saw her to thank her.

I ran to the bathroom to take a shower and wash my hair. I blow dry it and then styled it to let flow loosely onto my back. I put on a pair of pearl earrings and a small gold chain necklace.

Nothing fancy but still a simple look, I think. I then put the dress on and look at myself into the mirror. I feel beautiful and love the fact that I am wearing flats instead of heels. Because now I will not nervously fall on my face trying to walk in them. I look at the time on my phone and see it is 8:00pm already. I hear Alex at the stairs and yell for him to hold on a second. I rush down the stairs to see him sitting on the couch playing on his phone.

Without him looking up, I ask “Alex can I go with you to the party.” He looks up and stares at me with a confused look and then he sees what I am wearing. “Emily, is that you? You look incredible. Where did you get that dress?” Alex says. I blush and ask again “can I go with you Alex?”
