I was in the library today picking out a book to read since I was in desperate need of one. I had finished reading The Good Girl by Mary Kubica. That book was really good and I loved it so much. I kind of want to see it in theaters though,but if it doesn't turn into a motion picture then oh well. I finally spotted one that had caught my eye. I smiled and took it off the shelf. The book was called Beautiful Disaster. It had a butterfly inside of a jar with blue lighting cast around the jar and the butterfly inside of it. I decided to grab Legally Blonde the book. I love the movie and the book together. The movie was great with Reese Witherspoon in it and the spin off was just as great. I took the books to the desk for check out. Mrs. Peters had a smile on her face as she scanned my books.

"You haven't been here in a while. I wonder why," She said.

"Sorry. I have been so caught up with work that I haven't had time to come in," I replied.

"Daphne,I've known you since you were three years old when your father brought you in here for the first time. I can tell when you're lying to me," She explained.

"You caught me. I met someone," I tell her.

"Really? That's great," She replied.

"It is considering how nice he is," I murmured with a small smile on my face.

"Is he handsome?" She queried.

"Very handsome," I responded.

"It was only a matter of time before a handsome man came along and noticed how beautiful and intelligent you are. To me,you are a one of a kind person,Daphne. This man must see what your father saw and what I see. You deserve to be happy," Mrs. Peters tells me. I smiled softly.

"Thanks," I nodded.

"You're welcome,Daphne. I will see you later," She said.

"You too," I nodded. I left the library after checking out my books. After leaving the library,I drive over to Chastity's because she needed to give me something. I didn't know what she needed to give me,but I guess I'll have to go and find out. Once I arrived at Chastity's, I got turned off my car and go out. I pressed the lock button on my keys before heading to the front door where I rang the doorbell. Chastity's seven year old son, Nasir ,answered the door.

"Hey, Nasir. Where's your mommy?" I asked.

"Upstairs," He responded.

"Alright," I head inside with Nasir and I closed the door. I locked it and headed upstairs while Nasir ran to the living room to watch tv. I find Chastity in her room with Bryson and Faith. Bryson was playing with Faith.

"Hey,y'all," I greeted.

"Hey,Daphne," Bryson greeted with a smile.

"Chastity,what did you need to give me?" I asked. Chastity looks over at Bryson.

"Bryson,honey. I'm going to need you to get out please," She tells him.

"You're just kicking me out like that?" Bryson asked pouting.

"Faith is getting kicked out too," Chastity added.

"That's foul," Bryson tells her.

"I love you both,but get out. I need some alone time with my sister," Chastity replied. Bryson chuckles and kisses her on the cheek before walking out with Faith in his arms. Chastity gets up and closes the door. She puts her hands on my shoulders and sits me down. She walks to her closet and comes out moments later with a Victoria's Secret bag. She hands it to me and sits in her desk chair. I give her a quizzical look.

"Why did you give me this?" I asked.

"Open it and you'll find out," She answered. I opened it and I saw like two or three lingerie sets. I shot her a look.

"Why did you buy this?" I queried.

"You and that Samuel guy are getting pretty serious," She replied.

"We've been going on dates,Chastity. We're not getting serious just yet," I rolled my eyes.

"So you say," She muttered.

"I like the gesture,but please don't do this again," I hand the bag back to her. She pushes it back towards me.

"Just keep it because maybe in the future you'll be able to use it," She said.

"Fine," I rolled my eyes.

"Don't put it in the back of your closet like you do all the other gifts," She murmured.

"I won't," I sighed.

"You better not or else I'll kick you into next week," She said.

"That is assault," I gave her a straight face.

"No that's called sisterly love," She grinned. I rolled my eyes at her. I talked with her about Samuel and our plans for a third date. She remarked that he was a nice guy and I agreed. We continued to talk until I left.

As soon as I got home and in my room,I kicked off my shoes. Just as I was about to flop onto my bed,my phone rings. I groaned loudly in irritation.

"Damn it!" I yelled causing Cristian to jump. I answered my phone and it was my mother.

"What do you need,Diana?" I asked.

"John wants to go on a date with you and he tells me that he has been calling your phone for a while now," She tells me. I groaned again. I knew that John had been calling me for a while and I kept rejecting his calls or ignoring them. John seems like a nice guy,but Samuel is more than enough. Samuel,to me,is better than boring old John. He wasn't boring and he wasn't someone that my family set me up with.

"Diana,I told you already that I don't want to date John at all. Why are you still trying to set me up with a man I'm not even remotely interested in? If you think he's such a great guy then why don't you date him? That way you can have the perks of marrying a man with money," I shot at her.

"Daphne,don't you talk to me that," She hissed.

"Whatever," I scoffed,"I'm not going on a date with John and that is final,Diana." I hung up before she could say another word. She annoys the shit out of me. She's been like this even before my daddy died. Always setting me up with these boring,rich guys around my age just so she can have a rich son-in-law like Fredrick and the perks that comes with having one. Honestly,I don't care about money or social status. Love is all you need in this world. My phone rings again pulling me straight out of my thoughts. I see that it's Samuel calling and I pressed accept.

"Hey," I greeted.

"Hel-what's wrong? You sound upset?" He queried.

"It's nothing. Don't worry about it," I assured him.

"I'd feel better if you told me," He said. I sighed loudly and decided to tell him.

"It's just my mother. She's just getting on my nerves about this guy who she's trying to set me up with," I stated honestly.

"I'm sorry," He murmured.

"I know that he's a nice guy. It's just that I like someone else,preferably you," I tell him.

"I'm flattered," He said,"I like you too." I smiled genuinely at his statement.

"I'm glad," I said. He chuckles at my statement. We started talking about random things with each other while on the phone. Every time Sam would laugh,my heart would flutter and I felt a warmth start to spread all over me.

"What is your most embarrassing moment from your childhood?" Samuel asked.

"Most embarrassing? I have a lot of them," I replied.

"Well then tell me one of them that sticks out to you the most?" He questioned.

"Well my most embarrassing moment would have to be when I was twelve. I had on my favorite pair of jeans that day and I was feeling pretty happy. I was in class when I dropped my pencil and I bent down. So when I bent down to pick up the pencil,I heard a loud ripping sound. The worse thing about the situation is that the whole class was taking a test and they all heard it," I explained.

"Let me guess. You ripped your pants?" He chuckled.

"Let me finish the story,rudeness," I giggled.

"Go ahead," He replied.

".......as soon as I stood up I felt a draft in the back and sure enough my pants split down the middle with my Hello Kitty underwear on full display for everyone else to see. I was so embarrassed that I started to run out of the classroom, but as I was running,I tripped over somebody's backpack causing everyone,including the teacher to laugh at me," I continued. Sam burst into full on laughter and I laughed too.

"I'm sorry that happened to you,but that was funny," He chuckled.

"Your turn now,Samuel," I said.

"Okay. Well when I was fifteen,I was going on a date with this girl that I had liked for a long time. Well we went out to eat together and I ate this chicken that tasted kind of weird. I thought nothing of it and continued to eat. After dinner,I had driven her home and when I walked her to her door I threw up all over her dress and shoes," He explained. I burst into laughter. As I laughed,I started to snort causing him to laugh too.

"Oh God. It's not funny,Samuel," I giggled.

"It's not funny,but it's adorable," He said.

"No it's not. It's ugly," I murmured.

"Daphne,it's adorable. I like it," He replied. I blushed again.

"Thanks," I mumbled. We continued talking until he had to go. After he hung up,I went to my bathroom to shower. When I finished my shower,I got out and dried myself off with a towel. I moisturized my body then put on a pair of basketball shorts and a t-shirt without a bra. I tied up my hair and then I took out my contacts. I put on my glasses then I slipped on a pair of socks and slides. I grabbed Cristian's leash from my nightstand and I called his name. He gets up excitedly and I clasp the leash onto his collar. I walked downstairs and out the front door to the yard. I check the mailbox which I forgot to look at when I got home. I saw that I had received two packages from Forever 21 and Love Culture. I smiled because I finally got my dress and two shirts. I saw that I also had bills. Once Cristian finished doing his business,we both went inside. I I clipped his leash from his collar and went inside. Cristian and I went upstairs to my room. I decided to just pay the bills before bed so I could get it over and done with. I really hate being an adult sometimes. Peter Pan is a lucky bastard.
