Marian pressed her full lips together as she looked up at him with her big blue eyes through her black lashes. Why was she nervous? She should be better at this than she was but she actually enjoyed her time with him at the game and that that has effected how she walked to him. 

She could understand his question about why she would want to choose him and she innocently rubbed the back of her neck with her hand, her gaze turned away from him as her cheeks turned pink. “I… uh,” She said softly, “Really enjoyed my time at the game and… there’s going to be a lot of snobby, stuffy people there so having someone I can… get along with, would allow me to enjoy the time.” Giving him a small nod, she turned her attention back to him giving him a gentle smile, “It’s going to be a dinner party with music afterwards so… dress clothes and an appetite is required.” 

A small sigh left her at his agreement to go. “I appreciate you going with me, I’ll pick you up that way I can use the excuse that I’m driving to keep away from the alcohol that might be pushed my way.” A nod rose and fell her head as she stood up from her desk and gave him another smile. “I’ll see you Friday.”

The blonde finished her makeup at 5:15pm and walked out of her house locking the door behind her. Her blonde hair sat straightened down on her shoulders and her body was wrapped in a light blue strapless dress to the floor. Pulling out her phone she shot Robert a text, “On my way. I’ll be in light blue tonight.” With that she hit send and climbed into her car placing her clutch purse in her glove box and starting towards his house. 

Once she arrived at the apartments she parked her car and climbed the stairs. Taking in a deep breathe in front of his door she gave it a knock. “Robert? Are you ready to go?”
