Chapter 28

Margo

Noah texts me in the middle of the day to confirm we’re still on for our ‘official’ first date tonight, and I tell him that I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

I spend the rest of the afternoon piecing together the video from the field trip and sending out permission requests to the parents. By the time five o’clock rolls around, I realize that I’ve worked through lunch and am completely starving. I turn off my computer and head home quickly to change before Noah picks me up in an hour.

There’s a package waiting for me, and I grin when I open it. Five pairs of La Perla panties, all an exact match to the pair Noah destroyed.

After a quick shower, I slip one of them on, then opt for a low-cut green dress to put over it. The dress is long-sleeved, and it hugs my body just the right amount before ending above the knees. I usually save this dress for holiday parties, but I’ve always loved this color on me, and I don’t know how late we’re going to be out, so I want something a little warmer. I pair the dress with a leather jacket and black boots, then dry my hair into soft waves.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I take a moment to fix the necklace from my late grandmother, running my thumb along the cool metal of the locket to help calm my nerves.

Inside, there’s a picture of my grandma Abby when she was a young woman. She gave me the locket when I was in middle school and told me I could replace the photo with one of my own, but I never did. I like having her with me all the time. The necklace not only makes me feel more connected to her, but it makes me feel more connected to my family in general. It grounds me, which is why I wear it almost every day.

Noah sends me a message at exactly six to let me know he’s outside, and I tell him I’ll be right down.

My palms are beginning to sweat a little as I hurry outside into the brisk night. It’s odd that I’m nervous about this evening, even though Noah and I have already spent the night together, twice, and had sex. On top of that, he’s admitted that he likes me and wants to be with me. So really, I shouldn’t be feeling so anxious.

And yet, I am.

As of tonight, we’re officially, exclusively dating. It’s a major step, and one that I haven’t taken with someone in a while.

I’m just hoping I still remember how to do it.

Noah gets out of the car when I approach and opens the door on my side. His eyes widen as he looks at me, and he swallows.

“You look amazing.”

“Thanks.” I clear my throat, the butterflies in my stomach going wild. “So do you.”

I’m not lying. I’ve never seen him this dressed up, and although I like the casual attire he usually wears, he cleans up really well.
