(Sabrina's P.O.V.)
It was about 20 minutes before Sabrina was to get off work. Peggy came back with her purse in tow.
"Come over here and sit.", Peggy told her motioning to the chairs they had as a reading area. Sabrina went over and sat down.
"I'm gonna do your make-up. Then you're gonna take this shirt and put it on." Peggy said as she pulled out a make-up bag and royal blue silk blouse from her purse.
"Do I have to?", Sabrina asked a little uncomfortable.
"Yes, it's your first date in a while. You wanna send a certain fancy vibe.", Peggy said pulling out brushes and various makeup products.
"A certain what vibe? What's wrong with what I'm wearing?", Sabrina asked while gesturing to what she had on.
"Yes, a fancy vibe that says you're putting in some effort because your happy to be going out on a date with mister super hot. And there is nothing wrong with what you're wearing for work but, it doesn't exactly scream date.", Peggy said as she was apply the makeup to Sabrina's face.
"His name is Gabriel.", Sabrina said admitting to herself Peggy had a point.
"Okay, thanks for helping me.", Sabrina said letting Peggy work her magic.
"So, where is Gabriel taking you for your date?", Peggy asked while she continued to make Sabrina fancy.
"I don't know. He asked me out, left his number and said come after I got off work.", Sabrina said trying to hold still for Peggy.
"So he's mysterious and super hot. Awesome combo.", Peggy said trying to encourage Sabrina.
"Yeah, I guess he is. He said he was interested in getting to know me.", Sabrina remembered from their conversation earlier.
"Wait, let me get this straight. He's super hot, mysterious and he asked you out. That means he definitely into you. All the more reason for the fancy." Peggy said bouncing in her seat with excitement for Sabrina.
After Peggy finished with Sabrina's makeup, she went into the restroom to put on the blouse. She looked at herself in the mirror. Letting her hair down from her bun, it cascaded around her shoulders in soft raven curls. "Wow", Sabrina said looking at herself. Peggy had kept her makeup natural looking, highlighting her high cheekbones, glossing her full lips. The blouse Peggy picked out made her eyes pop and hugged her in all the right places. Sabrina walked back towards the front of the store, she heard Peggy talking to someone.
As she got closer, she could smell the scent of cedar. Sabrina's stomach tightened as she continued forward. Gabriel came into view. He was wearing blue jeans and a white button up shirt. Peggy looked over at Sabrina and said, "Here she is now." Gabriel stood there staring at Sabrina. Her cheeks started to heat under Gabriel's intense stare. She could see his eye darken. She could feel heat building in her lower abdomen under his gaze.
"Well, you two have fun.", Peggy said winking at Sabrina. Sabrina went around the counter to grab her bag and made her way next to Gabriel.
"We should get going.", Sabrina said to Gabriel as she quickly grabbed his hand and made her way to the door.
"See you tomorrow Sabrina. I wanna hear all about your date." Peggy called in her sing song voice as they walked outside. Sabrina blushing in embarrassment from her friend.
