CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN
Kali was standing in front of her mirror, a scowl on her face as she looked at herself. She in full honesty didn't know how to feel about this whole situation, about how close to two weeks had passed and how Clay had asked her on a date. Her reaction to him asking her over the phone was a nervous laugh because she didn't know if he was messing with her but after him not laughing with her she realized that he wasn't.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Kali muttered under her breath as she pulled her long blond hair into a pony tail. Her AirPods were playing soft music but it was mixed with the sound of her best friends voice. A duo of sounds which most definitely did not go together.
"You look good," Schlatt told her from where her phone was sitting on the counter. He had been on the phone with Kali as she had gotten all ready and had complained that she didn't think she looked good. So reasonably Schlatt called her on FaceTime to make fun of her.
"He wants to take me on a date." Kali frowned a little more as she messed with the bracelets which sat on her wrists. She loved the golden jewelry, it was the color she always wanted to wear despite how expensive it cost. She blinked a little and looked at the call then back to her reflection again.
"Which is great!" Schlatt said because even though Kali didn't seem excited about it, he knew his best friend. He knew that hat deep down the girl was more then excited, she hadn't been on a date in a solid minute, but he also knew that she had nerves. A lot of nerves. "Bars." He said to try to lighten the mood a little more.
"What if I fight him instead?" Kali asked although it was very clear that the girl would lose the fight no matter what. She knew that Clay was taller and weighed more then her plus she would be wearing a dress to look good. But she still thought that the idea of fighting someone would be funny. "Like fist fight him?"
"You are not going to fist fight him." Schlatt says with a sigh and Kali glances towards her phone again.
"Says who?" She tilts her head, raising an eyebrow which of course only gets a scoff from Schlatt on the other side of the phone.
"Me?" Schlatt answers but it sounds more like a question. Before he can go on though there is a knock on Kali's front door and her head turns on the direction of the noise. A grin appears on Schlatt's face at the way that Kali once again shoots a panicked look at him. "Oh he's here."
"Bye." Kali says with a glare.
"Bye!" Schlatt repeats back before disappearing off of Kali's phone screen. With a sigh Kali made her way across her apartment, putting her phone in a mini purse that she had because she didn't have pockets on her dress. After a few seconds she finally answered the door to see Clay Anderson standing outside her front door in a nice pair of pants and a button up. He smiled as he looked down at her and offered her some flowers which made a smile appear on her face. They were pink.
"Hey," Kali smiled before she left the door open, disappearing into her apartment again to put the flowers into the empty vase she had sitting around.
"Oh," Clay looked her up and down and watched as she left the front door wide open so he took a step forwards to be standing just barely in the girls home. "Hey," He smiled brightly as he watched her move around her kitchen, putting water into the vase before letting the flowers into the water. "You look pretty." He muttered to her as she moved closer to him again, ready to leave with a smile on her face.
"So do you." The blond matched his compliment and he seemed to blush a little at it. This of course caused a grin to appear on Kali's face because she could fluster him so easily. He avoided contact but there was a smile across his face nonetheless.
"Ready?" He asked the girl with a bright smile and then he offered her his hand. Kali glanced at it and a smile appeared on her face as she moved to take his hand, her purse in her other.
"Yep." Kali grinned before she stepped out of her apartment, making sure her door was locked and then heading towards Clay's car.
