I wanted to tell her to wear nothing at all, but I didn’t.
Me:Casualis good.
Jamie:Seeyou at seven.
Yes, she would.

This whole dating thing was difficult.
Not the actual date part.That was easy.And fun.
However, the getting ready part … it made me anxious.But here I was, going casual once again to spend my evening with Edge.Part of me had hoped Cav would be tagging along since we’d already done the single date, but I figured the two of them knew what they were doing.
Or maybe they didn’t, and we were all just winging it.
Either way, I was pulling on my shoes when the knock sounded on my door.Just like last time, my heart rate sped up and my hands got a little clammy.I briefly wondered if this nervousness would decline the more time I spent with Edge.
Opening the door, I looked up into the handsome face I’d been seeing in my dreams lately.
“Hey,” I greeted with a smile.
“Hey, back.”Edge stepped inside.“You ready?”
“As I’ll ever be,” I admitted truthfully.
The good news was, after our last date, I knew what to expect.Since we’d gone bowling and for ice cream, I figured Edge was the casual date sort of guy.Thanks to my full-time student status, I had plenty of outfit options at my disposal.Tonight I’d opted for a pair of brown leggings and a cream-colored, oversized cashmere sweater.Based on the way Edge’s gaze slid over me, he approved of my choices.
“So, where to?”I asked, hoping he’d give up the surprise sooner rather than later.
No answer was forthcoming, yet there was a twinkle in his glittering eyes.
He took my coat from my hand and helped me into it.“Surprise, remember?”
“Yeah, yeah, yeah.”
Knowing he wasn’t going to elaborate, I grabbed my purse and my keys.
“After you.”I motioned toward the door, following him.
I locked up and allowed Edge to lead me down the sidewalk to the parking lot.I was expecting to see his car, but instead, I noticed…
I had to do a double-take.
“A limo?”
He smiled, then motioned for me to get in the door the driver was holding open.
“I figured this would be easier than parking.”
I laughed.“My friends and I generally use Uber, but this works, too.”
“Ah.Uber.”He looked as though he hadn’t considered that.“Well, this’ll give us a little more privacy.”
