– Oh… uh… yeah it’s fine. At what time do you want me there?

– Uhm… is 6 okay?

– It’s perfect. I’ll be there then. See you later Shane.

– See you – And Shane release the breath she didn’t even know was holding-

– God man, your face is all red! This girl must be something.

– Shut up Al! and come on, help me clean this place

The two friends kept joking around while cleaning the place. Alice helped Shane choosing what they would have for dinner and also a movie just in case they decided to watch it later. The time Carmen would come was getting near and Shane’s nervousness was growing.

– Dude I think the place looks amazing.. – Said Alice screaming-

– You think? I mean, I like it, but what about more candles? – Shane was upstairs getting dressed-

– For the eleventh time today: no Shane, it’s fine!!! And get down already! You’ve been there for at least half an hour!

– Okay, okay. I’m coming – Said Shane while going down. She was wearing a red shirt with some black in the middle, a black blazer and ripped light blue jeans. Her hair hung stylishly but messy, concealing the smokey eyes beneath. Breathing heavily, Shane finally reach the floor. A worried look plastered on her face.

– How do I look? 

Alice’s eyebrows shot up. "You. Shane McCutcheon. Who has brought countless hordes of girls to their knees. Are asking me if you look okay??"

– Yes I am. So…?

– Well,  y’know, for a date that isn’t a date -Alice said rolling her eyes- you sure are awfully anxious about it.

– I just… I just want it to go well  -Shane said fidgeting with her hair in the mirror, before turning around again- please, how do I look?

– You look hot! and please Shane, try to relax a little. I mean, if I understood correctly, you spent a huge amount of hours with Carmen in here, all alone. So just chill out, you know.

– Yeah well, but I’ve never kissed her before. Besides, I’m not that anxious… I’m just being cautious…
