"Self-Esteem means knowing, You Are The Dream."-OPRAH WINFREY

I felt fingers brush against my cheek slowly then fingers brushing through my hair, as I stirred myself awake. Turning my head slowly I opened my eyes rubbing them for getting vision clear.  My mom is sitting beside me.

"Good Morning, baby girl," she whispered.

"Good morning mom," I replied cuddling in her lap getting myself comfortable.

"Come on get up now. Liam is waiting for you in the living. Lets get you ready."

"What?" I sit up on my bed. "Right now? Its sill early mom. I want to sleep more."

"Look at the time honey. It's already 9.30 am. He is waiting for you half an our now." My mom replied.

"Who comes this early in someone's house?" I said annoyingly.

"Who talks about their guest like this. I am giving you 15 mins. to get ready and come down to the breakfast table." My mom said strictly.

"What else am I supposed to do?" I said huffing.

"Nothing, just get ready go. And you are going out for a date. So dress likewise. Now we don't want the handsome guy keep waiting, are we? Go." saying my mom left the room.

I quickly get up from the bed to get ready. I pushed the covers off my body. I went to the bathroom door stripping as I went, Turned the shower on and let the hot stream crawl over my skin. 

After drying my body and hair I get dressed in a beautiful off-white on piece knee length dress with blue flower printed on it

After drying my body and hair I get dressed in a beautiful off-white on piece knee length dress with blue flower printed on it. (imagine the above pic excluding the necklace.) I keep my make-up simple. A little Eye liner bb cream and my favorite lip gloss. I put on a beautiful wristlet , a simple chain with a small flower pendent on it, put on my shoes and started climbing downstairs.

I just stepped down the last stair I looked up at the living area to great everyone, then I saw him. He is also looking at me in an impressed look. As we look into each other eyes we both swallow hard.

He is just perfect. Ocean blue eyes mesmerizing as if they can see through you. My breath hitch. 'Damn, what imma gonna do?' I exclaimed in my mind. My dad break the silence.

"Come baby." As I go by his side my father introduces us.

"Liam, this my lovely daughter Wanda. Pretty, isn't she? And Wanda this is Liam."

"Yes, of course she is uncle. hi Wanda." he takes out his hand to shake with me. I hold it and greet him.

"Now guys enough of introduction. Lets get breakfast now and then you both are good to go." my mom said.

"Mom," I whined embarrassed.

"Sure Aunty." Liam said as we get into our seat side by side.

The breakfast went mom and talking with Liam getting know him more. While I kept silent. Sitting beside him its like an immense pressure. I never had this kind of intense breakfast in my life though we hardly talked.

After breakfast we bid my parents goodbye and walk out of the door.

As we take sit in his car he is the first one to break the silence.

"So, where do you wanna go? Do you have any preference." he asked.

"As long as I can breath fresh air." I said

"Trust me I also feel the same." he said smiling at me. "Lets go".
