30- Dates and dinner

I stare at the message for a moment. Before this, all the meals we’ve shared together have been purely because we were already in the same place. Was he going out of his way to specifically invite me for dinner? I remember what Darrien said about Bellamy seeing me as his mate sooner than I expect. Surely he isn’t trying to ask me out.

  1. me. I take a quick shower and then move back into my room to decide what to wear. Darrien’s words have me anxious and I find I’m having difficulty choosing. Eventually I settle on a dark. blue, long sleeved skater dress and black leggings with my black ballet flats. I quickly blow
