"You...WHAT?!" Monroe exclaimed after I told her the whole story of what happened at work today. I couldn't tell if this was a good or bad reaction. Which was ood because I usually could read people pretty well. She started pacing back and forth.
"Monroe, please!" I begged, "I don't want to go alone!" I puted giving her the puppy dog look. She narrowed her eyes at me. I go lowerinto the cushions on the couch under her gaze. After a couple minutes she sat down next to me.
She sighed putting her head in her palm of her hands,"You owe me." She mumbled.
"YAY!" I squealed, hugging her. She looked at me from her hands.
"You are so lucky that I love you."
"You are so lucky that his brother is hot." I replied shoving her slightly, "You might even end up owing me one." I winked at her.
"I would not go that far, hun." She smiled at me.
"Pfft, whatever." I got up and walked into the kitchen to make dinner, smiling that I had got her to come and have fun on a double date. Hopefully, it goes well though, I thought. I looked at her from the kitchen lookout, worried that this could go terribly wrong.

The next week went by pretty quicky. Jeremy and I weren't official yet, but we went and had coffee together on morning at a remote little cafe he knew of, called Brunch. It was delicious. After work he would drive me home, everyday. He also met Monroe. She was shocked by his politeness and said she liked him, but he was too nice. There was something suspicious about him. This had gotten me irritated. She couldn't just not trust anyone, expecially judging someone she had just met. She saw the annoyance flicker into my attitude and she dropped it.

The Thursday before the party Monroe and I met up after work and went shopping for dresses for the party. We probably went to about 40 stores till we found ones we liked. Mine was from a store called Strawberry and Monroes was from Banana Republic. The of course we had to find a shoe store.
My dress was red so I needed to find black heels or flats, and Monroe's was golden so she was looking for silver or white.
Unfortunately, the people who worek in the stores here are not as nice as they are back home. They acted as if they were in such a hurry.
We finally found shoes, after hours of shopping. Thank God.
We finally got ready after work on Friday. Jeremy and his brother were coming to get us around 7 and we had an hour drive intot he city. Monroe and I got ready curling our hair and putting on makeup. It go to about 6:30 and we both started panicking while putting on our dresses.
"What if he isn't like Jeremy, at all? What if he is just a total jerk. And gross." She face palmed herself. "Rose what have you gotten me into?"
"Ugh! Monroe! You worry too much! I am sure he is great and handsome!" She groaned in response sitting indian style on the floor in her golden dress. It was a light gold color with dark golden swirls. It wnt to about her knees andit was a mix between a summer dress and formal. It made her look like she was glowing. This guy better be great. I don't want her being upset during our first party with dates in LA. I sat next to her in my bright red dress that came to above my knees, it was strapless, had a sweet heart neck line, and it twisted till it came to a sparkly pin on my left side.
"Monore, come on you're going to wrinkle the dress." I said trying to pull her up with me.
"I don't care." She said not budging.
"Look I promise if it doesn't turn out well and the party sucks...we will just come home. I swear."
