Six Months Later

Sixteen

Something Special

♦♦♦

Friday, March 2—London

Up for something special tonight?

It's Richard.

Special, uh?

Like what…?

It’s a surprise

I’ll pick you up at seven

I didn’t say yes

But now you have no choice

’Cause you’re too curious to say no

You know that’s going to make me die of curiosity

I know

I’m evil like that!

Yes, you are

See you tonight, x

Something special, uh? I wonder what it could be. After six months of dating, Richard and I are in a good place. We have an easy, uncomplicated relationship with no drama whatsoever. We’re in love and it’s great. I never thought I’d say, “I love you,” to anyone after Jake, but Richard made it so easy for me to fall for him.

I spend half of the day imagining what this big surprise is going to be. So far, Richard hasn’t been the surprise-type. I check the calendar but I haven’t forgotten my birthday or his birthday. It’s just a regular Friday night, nothing special about it. So what’s up with him?

When I get home, Amelia’s waiting for me with a keen expression on her face.

“How was your day, honey?” she asks.

I shrug. “Mostly like any other.”

“Oh, it’s going to get better.”

“What do you mean?” Why are people talking in riddles today?

“There was a delivery for you.”

“Where is it?”

“In your room.”

I dash in my room. An amazing dress is draped on my bed with a Post-it note on it that says, “Wear me.” Next to it, there’s a dock station with another Post-it saying, “Play me.” This is a surprise date version of Alice in Wonderland. What are we celebrating, my Very Merry Unbirthday? I wonder if a white rabbit with a ticking clock is going to make an appearance soon to tell me I’m late, which I kind of am considering it’s already six. Well, at least I won’t have problems choosing what to wear. I’m intrigued. Where’s Richard going with this?

I push play on the dock station and it’s The Blues Brothers soundtrack. I smile, thinking back on our first date at the film club.

To the sound of ‘Everybody Needs Somebody To Love’, I hop in the shower while dancing and singing like a maniac. I’ll give it to Richard: he knows how to set the right atmosphere.

I quickly blow-dry my hair and step back into the room. Now, ‘Do You Love Me?’ is on and I can’t help but shake my booty to the melody.

“Having fun?” Amelia asks, leaning against the doorframe.

“Much. Did you see this dress?” I slip it on. “It’s a dream.” It’s a navy midi-length dress with a see-through hem and shoulder straps. It has blue floral appliques and beads all over. It’s gorgeous. “My blue suede pumps will look great with it.”

“Yeah, I think that was the idea.”

I twirl in front of the mirror, excited. “What do you say, hair up or down?”

“Up, but loose. If you give me a comb, a hair band and ten bobby pins I can pull the perfect bun off in five minutes.”

“Yes, madam.”

I give her everything she asked for.
