Anya's POV
When I finished talking to Terence, Imani came back into the kitchen bothering me as usual.

"So who was that on the phone?"

"It was Terence."

"Oh, that's nice, I haven't talked to him for a while. How's he doing?" she said picking up my flowers and putting them in a vase.

"He's doing fine, he's going to Germany and enlisting in the army-" I said getting cut off by Imani's screaming.

"Girl you didn't tell me Prince gave you his number, you gotta call him!"

"I don't think so. Look, he seems like a great guy but I have no reason to call him."

"Yeah but he's got a reason he wants you to call him. No celebrity just gives out their number, Anya. He's interested in you."

"I don't need a man in my life, I'm doing just fine without one. Besides, I already agreed to go out with Eryck Friday." I said covering my mouth with my hand, realizing what I just said.

"Eww girl, not Eryck. I know you can do better than that."

"Trust me, I don't want go out with him. But he said that if I did he'd leave me alone so that's why I agreed. I'd never seriously date him."

"I'd hope not. But I bet you'd seriously date Prince if you could."

"Not a chance."

"Why not? Shit, I would! if you don't want him I'll take him."

"Would you stop already? I'm not going to date Prince and neither are you. So let it go."

"See that attitude you have right there, I know just the cure. You need some of Prince's magical dick to cheer you up!"

"This conversation is over," I said shaking my head at my big sister's filthy mouth.

"Okay but if you're going on a date with Eryck we need to get you a dress asap. Tomorrow we are going to the mall and getting you a dress." Imani said

"But-"

"But nothing, we're going shopping tomorrow and that's final."

I can never win.

The Next Day

As Imani promised we went to the mall to find a dress for my date. I don't want to be here looking for a dress that I'll only wear once and sit in my closet forever. I shouldn't have agreed to this. I've looked through the dresses on a rack until I found myself less interested in what this store had to offer and more interested about what happened yesterday. I can't believe he was at my job, with flowers for me too! I was soon pulled out of my thoughts when Imani called me from across the store.

"Hey, Anya how about this one," She says holding up an ugly yellow dress.

You're joking, right?
