In My Dreams

The Melting Pot (J-Fred)

Simone's Pov

For possibly the hundredth time I twisted my fingers around a group of slit stems, my fingers picking at the silver ribbon that my roommate, Adrian had tied around them to keep them together. We'd ran out the night before and picked up some supplies to prepare for our double date on Valentines Day, including a bunch of roses, some chocolate from a shop and parchment. Any minute now two cars would pull up and park, Joey and Mark, and then we'd all head out to eat together. I honestly couldn't believe that Adrian and Mark hadn't started dating yet, but hey- whatever. 

In a futile attempt to calm my nerves I slid off of the edge of my bed and headed down the short hallway to Adrian's room. I rapped my knuckles against her bedroom door, and clutched the dyed roses to my chest. I listened to some shuffling behind the door before she pulled open the door looking frazzled. An ear bud was tucked inside her ear, the other one pinched between her fingers. 

"Heeey, can I come in?" I questioned. 

She eyed me before back up into her room. I slipped in and she shut the door behind me. Her room was dimly lit from the small bathroom attached to her room, and the fading sunlight streaming through her curtains. I'd dressed up almost fifteen minutes ago, I didn't want to be panicking even more when they got here and I wasn't done. Though Adrian, had decided not to. 

"Jittery?" She questioned shimming out of the dark blue towel that was wrapped around her chest. I nodded sheepishly. 

"First V-day with a guy... course I'm nervous." I replied looking away to hide the crimson tint in my face. Adrian chuckled and stepped into her bathroom again, focusing in on the mirror. 

"Chill lass, it'll be fine. We'll go eat, we'll come back here and split up our separate ways, and you two will get down to the nitty gritty!" She called out. I let out a small squeak and picked up one of the small red throw pillows on her bed, then whipped it at her. She stepped farther back into the bathroom before kicking the pillow back out. 

"We're not having sex!" I cried out, flustered. 

Her only response was to laugh more. I sighed and dropped onto her bed, setting the roses beside me. A bright red pile of cloth bounced slightly as I sat. Cocking my head to the side I reach out and picked up the material. It was soft in my hands, like some sort of fine cotton and silk blend. Carefully I held it out in front of me and smiled. She was going to wear a sexy red dress. 

"Red dress, huh?" I called out. Her gaze met mine in the mirror before flickering back to her light makeup. And I meant light, some light grey eye shadow, black eyeliner and maybe some lip gloss. "So why did you wait so long to get dressed?" 

"I was writing a last minute request." She replied coming out of the bathroom. 

"Wait..." Adrian looked up at my sudden tone change, I'd just registered something she had said. "What do you mean separate ways?! Where are you going after dinner?" I questioned. She smirked. 

"A place, besides, I am positive you and Joey would like to just chill out here for a little while all to yourselves. I mean I was with you when you picked up the bubble bath and scented candles!" She winked at me before holding out her hand. I set the dress in her palm and looked away.

Drrring Dooong. 

I looked up at the sound of the doorbell. I glanced at Adrian, she was mid pulling the dress up her body to hide her woman undergarments. She shimmied a little before shifting her arms in order to zip up the back of her dress. I wrinkled my nose, I always had a hard time zipping dresses behind me.
