Claire groaned and slumped her shoulders in defeat, trying to figure out what to wear for the past hour, but in vain, she didn't understand what to do, she didn't wish to go overboard, but also, she didn't want to be too simple.
"Did you find something?" Jasmine smirked, she was sitting on Claire's bed as she watched her friend struggle, "How can you enjoy my misery!" Claire fake cried, making Jasmine laugh.
"What can I do, I told you let me choose the outfit for you, but you said you will manage!"
"But I can't do it, please help me, J!" Claire sat down beside her, Jasmine nodded and went to the wardrobe examining her clothes, "So, tell me do you want to look cute or sexy?"
"I have no idea, please just make it fast!" Claire glanced at the clock, it was eight in the morning and Jason would be here by ten, they have decided to spend the whole day together, getting to know each other.
"If you want to make it fast you need to tell me, how you want to look?"
Claire took a deep breath, "Umm, I want to look both maybe." Jasmine tilted her head trying to find a perfect dress that suits Claire's wish, "Oh, I have one that will look amazing on you."
She went to her room and came back with a bag in her hand, Claire looked at the bag and asked, "What is that?"
"A dress that is perfect for you," Jasmine, opened the bag and took out a white dress. "Go try it." Jasmine handed the dress to her, Claire wasn't sure about it, but she went to try it.
To her surprise the dress did fit her perfectly, it was an A-line dress, it had flow in it, reaching till her thighs, the flounce sleeves reached till her arms, it had a v neckline, surprisingly Claire liked it.
She went out and Jasmine jumped excitedly, "See, I knew it was perfect for you."
"But when did you buy it?" Claire thought, it was Jasmine's dress that she gave her, "Well, when I got to know that you got the job, I wanted to give you a gift to congratulate you,"
Jasmine's words almost made Claire cry, "Thank you, J!"
"Come on now, we still have to work on a lot." Jasmine made Claire sit on a chair, to work on her hair, Claire wanted to keep it simple, so she decides to go with a half up bun and leaving her hair open, she chose a white heel to pair with her dress.
And as for her look, she applied a feline eyeliner, and basic makeup, she applied an apricot color lipstick with a lip gloss on it, as for accessories, she didn't want much, so she wore silver hoop earrings, she was done by the time it was nine-thirty, now all she had to do was wait for Jason.
*****
Jason felt as if he was going on his first business meeting, he was that nervous, taking the car keys he walked out of his room, he didn't even had breakfast as he wanted to have it with Claire.
He was wearing a beige color, long sleeve t-shirt and black pants he paired it with beige sneaker, he was wearing a round black sunglass, and his hair were perfectly set back.
As he sat inside the car his phone vibrated indicating he got a text, 'Make sure, you make her feel special!' It said, it was from Austin, the god of flirting.
Jason shook his head and ignored it, soon he was outside her apartment, he texted her to come out, waiting for her, he realized he didn't get her a gift, a knock on the window, got him out of his thoughts.
Getting out of the car, he saw how she was looking more beautiful today, and he even noticed how she was nervous, it was so awkward that he didn't know what to say.
"Let's go," He said, cursing himself from the inside, he wanted to say something else, but he just couldn't, he realized how could he, when he has never done it before.
Claire was a bit disappointed, she thought that he would say something to her or even compliment her a little, she tried to smile and sat down in the passenger seat.
"So, where are we going?" She asked him, "First, let's have breakfast." He replied, even though he was nervous, he wanted to make her feel special, taking the advice of his friend.
They went to a restaurant and had some expensive breakfast, she told him that they could go to the cafe, but he denied, as he didn't wish to encounter Jake today.
Claire was truly enjoying his company, she thought that he was the serious kind of guy, but she found out a lot about him today, he could be cool as well.
He didn't like spicy food a lot, and he was a family-oriented person as most of the things he talked about were either related to grandma or his and Austin's fights.
But not once he talked about his parents, she also told him about her likes and dislikes, and some funny high school stories, which both laughed at.
After that he took her to a movie, "Are we watching the movie because, I complained about it last time?" Claire inquired, "Something like that, I didn't wish that my girlfriend taunts me that, I never took her to movies." Both of them laughed at that.
While watching the movie, Claire felt that Jason kept staring at her, she gazed at him and mouthed what, he shook his head and started watching the movie.
Jason couldn't believe that he wasn't able to compliment her, 'How difficult is that!' He wonders.
She than realized that Jason was trying to say something to her, but she couldn't hear properly, "I can't hear you."
Jason sighed, and leaned towards her ear, making her heart race, "You're looking beautiful."
