OMG!
Today was amazing! Absolutely amazing! It doesn't even matter that I had a surprise rescheduling of my Wednesday class or anything. The class was actually quite fun, and it let out early enough I could slip in to my standing appointment at the spa. A nice mani/pedi, and then…
… lunch with Chance!
Okay, it wasn't a date. I mean, he tossed the invite on Twitter. Any one of his friends could have replied to it. Only, Quin was going for lunch with Shiv, and Harper was probably at the park again. So I went. I don't know if he was comfortable with it just being us, but after I got over my nerves, everything seemed pretty comfortable. We talked a bit. I explained the whole third-wheel thing to him.
Logically, I know I'm not. It's still myself, Shiv, and Harper. Except now, they're starting on this whole new adventure that I can't be part of. I don't mind, but I do know that they're going to want some time alone and I know that while their in this giddy stage it's probably best that I don't hang around them too much. They're both really projecting their feelings, and I don't want to go through what I did on the boat again. So Chance offered a movie night.
It sounds fun. Just something low-key and friendly. A couple of movies, snacks, possibly another really badly failed attempt in the kitchen again. Quin's going to be gone to Vegas at that point, which is too bad. It would've been fun to hang out with the both of them without having sauce and mushrooms in my hair, or being wrapped up in a towel.
But!
That's not the most important news!
Chance asked me to the AK Enterprises Mid-Summer Ball! It took me a few minutes to realize that he didn't know mother and daddy had been invited and were insisting we accompany them this year. Going with Chance is infinitely better than walking in with my parents while Harper takes Shiv. I'd been thinking of asking Quin to come with me but I don't know how comfortable he'd be in that situation, being trussed up in a tuxedo and pranced around as he was introduced to people.
Now I've just got to find a killer dress and heels, and decide how I'm going to do my hair. Up or down. I'm going to make myself crazy, but it's going to be worth it.
Chance Harper, be prepared to pick your jaw up off the floor!
