Of course, during my call with Kayla, Steve had beeped in a few times. So, it was no surprise to me, that when I finally got to the house, I had several voicemails and text messages—all from him. He was pissed off, but he had nobody to blame but himself. Maybe he would finally get the message.

I’d see him soon enough, then he could speak his piece and I sure as fuck would speak mine. Until then, he’d wait because my night had ended and I was about to kick back and relax.

Now was one of those times where not having friends really worked against me. Man, oh man. I had acquaintances, but not women that I called friends. They were either ones that I’d met at the job I had, or just somebody I met in passing. Nevertheless, there was nobody in my life that I could call to get advice on what I should wear out with Silas. To even share the details of all the stuff that was happening in my life! Nobody. And I wanted to. As much as I’ve said in my past that friendships were overrated, I wasn’t thinking that now.

Silas had really surprised me and taken control of the whole situation that I was trying to set up for him. Just 360’d that entire thing. Took all the power away from me and got in the driver’s seat. Because of that, I now stood in my closet trying to decide on whether to wear a dress or pants. Or maybe even a jumpsuit or a skirt. Jeans even.

No, I thought. A dress is better. Neutral to any environment.

Besides, if Silas was just getting off work, then he would probably have on a suit or some slacks or something like that.

Arghh! Shit was hard.

I was so busy trying to anticipate what he might be wearing, where we might be going, that my head was starting to throb. I was surprised at the energy I was giving to the situation. How much I really wanted to make the right impression.

After contemplating forever, I ended up outfitted in a seafoam green, faux suede, jumpsuit that had a gold zipper in the front of it. I added gold accessories, choosing a pair of large hoop earrings and a bangle for my wrist. The thin chain choker that I wore was cold as hell on my neck when I first put it on, but I championed it out.

Instead of a ponytail, I parted my bob deep on the left, and added some large wand curls that I ended up picking apart, to provide more fullness. After the smoky eye application and lipstick, I threw on a pair of tan suede booties. When I looked in the mirror, I loved what I saw. The life had returned to my face. My eyes were smiling all by themselves. The sadness I previously felt from looking in the mirror, was gone. I was happy and felt that my life was back on track to being decent.
