writefiction99: it's not a date
As I showered and washed my hair, I told myself, it's not a date.
As I got dressed and put on some perfume, I told myself, it's not a date.
As I made sure my phone was charged and there was cash in my wallet, I told myself, it's not a date.
When I heard his car pull in the driveway, I told myself, it's not a date.
I heard his foot-steps on the stairs.
It's not a date.
Three loud knocks on the door.
It's not a date.
I take a breath and turn the knob.
It's not a date.
I see his smile.
His matching shirt and tie.
The purple daisies in his hand.
It's a date.
