Chapter 301

Diya was almost ready; she had spent quiet some time in deciding what to wear. It had been a tough decision and she had never had this much trouble in deciding what to wear. She had always know what to wear may be it a ball or a wedding or an office event. She had always been able to narrow it to a couple of outfits and decide one but this time since it was neither one of those events she had struggled to decide on one. She didn't want to look too sexy but attractive enough, she wanted it be an eye turner but not be gazed upon. She also wanted to look quiet sophisticated yet natural. She felt like she was going for a job interview as a freshman, even then she didn't feel this tense or nervous. She finally picked one after major consideration decided to go with black as black has the quality to fit into anything. It was a Scoop-Neck Cap-Sleeve Dress woven in a blend of acetate, nylon and spandex. It was pleated at scoop neckline and had very pretty cap sleeves in empire seam. It had a back zip with hook-and-eye closure at top with a thin line above the waist giving a natural curve around the waistline. It hit just at her knee revealing her slender legs. The sexy little black dress she wore was very flattering when she looked herself in the mirror. Picking up a shoe was relatively easy. She looked at black, silver and red. Silver seemed more appealing so she decided to go with her Bandolino "Elycee" Peep Toe Slingback Pump. It had a ribbed trim and a decorative button updating the usual slingback by adding drama to it. It was made of leather with imitation patent leather trim; a peep toe with adjustable sling back and a good 2 inch covered heel. She picked up her Designer Legacy Boutique Exclusive Leather Lila to go with it with the multifunction pocket to hold all the things she needed. It had a turn lock closure and was made of metallic leather and matched perfectly with her silver-metallic shoes. What she loved about her purse was its stripe lining. She just had to do her hair. She wanted it to be very simple, so decided to use a metallic hairclip and clasp it in the back partially leaving the rest wavy. She liked herself; she felt she looked good, even though this was not their first meeting and they have spent quiet some time together in the past this was different.

It was their first date. It was both exciting and concerning. She didn't expect him to actually ask her out, but the circumstances had turned out be different. It came upon on a casual conversation when he said, "Maybe someday we can go out for dinner, in a nice restaurant or something, have a glass of wine and have a good time". She had laughed and said, "Ya that sounds good. Dinner would be good" and they had talked about many other things and a couple of days later there she was getting dressed, taking into account how she looked. With all these thoughts in her mind, she sat in front of her dressing mirror and applied her mascara and her eye liner. She used a brown one; she always did as it made her look good. She wore a small single pearl pendant stringed onto a very thin silver chain onto her neck. It was a special cultured pearl that shined in the light. She picked out the matching single drop pearl ear-rings and wore them and was almost ready. She looked at her watch that reminded her of her watch and the bracelet to go with it. She decided against a bracelet and picked out a watch on pearl-like string and wore it. She stood in front of the mirror and checked herself again and corrected her hair and pulled her dress that was curved in the corner. She knew he would be here in ten minutes and she was ready. She hoped that he would be on time and that she didn't look to obvious that she was too eager for him to her out. She sat on the couch and decided to watch some TV. She thought about how just after a simple conversation, a couple of days later he had called asking her if she was free that Saturday. "Are you free this Saturday? I was wondering if we could go out for a nice dinner that we talked about earlier. Maybe I can pick you up by 6.00?" He had sneaked that one in and it had caught her by surprise and she had said she was free and she heard the elevator open and in a few seconds she heard her door bell go .. Dong Dong!
