Two days have passed since my conversation with Josh and I'm feeling more anxious as the seconds go by. I got my new license yesterday, so I'm very happy about that. Work has been good, and I heard rumors that I might be getting a promotion. I currently work with B/C list celebrities, but if my clientele gets upgraded to A list on top of my B/C list clients, I could be making seven figures every month.

Insane, I know.

It is now Wednesday, the day I said I would go try to find Leonardo. I'm walking extra slow today at work, eating slower, and even breathing slower, because I'm so nervous about tonight. I can feel my heart beating three times too fast, and my palms kept getting sweaty, which has only ever happened to me once before: when I had to tell Kyle that I was pregnant.

It's all happening too fast, but at the same time, it's not happening fast enough. Josh called me during my lunch break to remind me and make sure that I didn't back out. I haven't said anything to Amari because she wants me to be single with her, so I don't think she'd react well. After a long workday, I am now on my way home and it is near time.

As if Josh could sense I was ready to give up on this whole search because I can't find the right outfit, he texts me.

How's it going?

Terrible, I have nothing to wear
I just wanna stay home a this point

Shut up, Iris.
Wear something cute,
but not too revealing

Hold on, let me look

I go back to my closet and pick out two dresses. The first is a short white dress with brown zebra traps, short sleeves, and a deep v cut. The second is a long white dress, with a high thigh slit, a long shoulder sleeve, and a huge cutout on the side. I send pictures to Josh and wait for his reply.

Joshy🌈

The first one for sure, it's casual-chic
Save the second for later, he'll want to
rip it off of you too much.

Shut up, but thanks. I'm gonna
finish getting ready. I'll let you know how it goes.

Good luck!

I like his message and proceed to finish getting ready. I paired the dress with a gold watch, a gold butterfly necklace, and some gold earrings. I finished it off with some white boots and a brown Louis Vuitton bag.

Twenty minutes later and I'm at the front of the club, trying to find a parking spot

Twenty minutes later and I'm at the front of the club, trying to find a parking spot. My heart starts beating so freaking fast, that I think I might die. I must've sat in my car for 15 minutes overthinking about all the ways tonight could go wrong before I just decide to suck it up and do what I need to do.
