turned on Pandora and jumped in the shower. I was definitely feeling myself. I took Shelly's advice, shaving everywhere that displayed unwanted hair. I then used my body scrub all over my body so I could feel extra soft. I haven't done this in a while. After I got out the shower and dried off, I began painting my toenails a rose red color; then my fingernails. I plopped down on my bed, landing on my back, for a few minutes to let my nails dry. I stared at the ceiling lost in my thoughts of what tonight had in store for me. I haven't had a companion worth having in a long time. Moments past and I realized that I am still completely naked and my nails are done drying. I look over at the clock on my night stand. It's already 6:30. He is typically on time so I should probably pick up the pace. I got up and began putting on makeup. I've never been good with makeup, so I just kept it simple as usual. A little filler for my eyebrows, eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick to match my nails. I was extremely excited, I felt like a little kid on the inside; jumping up and down, nervous all at the same time. I did sort of a basket weave with my locs from the back to the front, pinning them up into a bun that made a swoop over the right side of my forehead. “Maybe that would make him kiss my lips instead of my forehead tonight.” I joked to myself.
    I lotioned my entire body before slipping into a black bra and thong set. I didn't want any lines to show through the dress, although I find thongs to be very uncomfortable. I slide into the dress, it fits perfectly. The bottom was pencil and it reached right to the middle of my knees; not too short and not too long. The dress fit my curves and gave me just enough space around my midsection to where I couldn’t notice my stomach. I felt extremely sexy looking in the bathroom mirror. I put on my round, gold earrings that covered the bottom of my ear. I figured I'd keep it sophisticated and not wear anything dangling with my bun. I picked up a gold charm bracelet Thias and Shelly gave me for my birthday last year. I stepped back to admire myself a little bit. I walked in my room to gather Arsen’s painting, putting it in the living room so he could see it when he walked in. I run back to the bathroom as I forgot to put on some perfume. Just as I began to spray a couple sprays, I hear a knock at the door. I peek out the bathroom looking at the clock. Damn! He is always on time. I sit down on the bed to strap on the red pumps. He knocks again, and I trip my way down the hallway trying to buckle the last strap. I get to the door standing up straight and adjusting my dress, trying to look perfect. I began smiling from ear to ear as I open the door, there stood Arsen. He had on a long sleeve white button down Polo shirt, with dark jeans, and a blazer. He looked like he had just stepped out of the GQ magazine. Fresh haircut, face shining, shirt pressed to the tee. “Look at my man.” I thought; just look at him.
    "You look absolutely beautiful, love." he said.
    "Thanks! You look amazing yourself. Come in for a second, I have something to show you." I demanded politely. He steps in and I point towards the painting. "Now you can’t take it with you tonight, because it still needs to dry a little." He began staring at the painting. He wasn’t saying anything, I began to get nervous. "Do you like it?" I asked. He continued to stare before looking at me replying.
    "I love it. It’s me and you, but why are you crying?" he asked. The painting showed the wind blowing my locs in my face as tears flowed from one eye peeking through my locs. In the background I painted him with a crown on his head walking towards me.
    "They’re tears of joy." I explained. "This painting depicts my King finding me and healing my broken heart." He looked at me as if he were accepting the honor. “We should probably go." I continued.
    "Yes, we should be there by 8:15." We headed out to the car as he helped me down the
