It's finally November 10th and it's my 18th birthday. I can't say I feel any different even though I'm of age now, able to drink and have a bank account of my own.

My friends and I had already planned the whole day, first we are going to go shopping and then get ready at Natasha's place, then meet up with Dave and his friends at the club.

........................................................................................................................................

Since I've moved in with my nana, she started a birthday tradition where she woke me up to a big birthday breakfast in bed. When she first did it, I felt bad and told her she didn't have to do that, but she reassured me, saying that she wants to, that she loves cooking for me. I have learned to just thank her and show my appreciation.

On the morning of my 18th birthday, she places the breakfast on my lap, and I thank her with a big sleepy smile and a kiss on the cheek. I eat all of the food then get up and go to the kitchen to wash my plate. Afterwards, I head into the bathroom for a quick shower and to brush my teeth and hair.

I put on my blue tank top and my dark blue jeans with my black and white converse to wear for the day. I leave my room and kiss my grandmother on the cheek goodbye. I take my makeup bag as I leave the house and head next door to Xeno and Dave's house. I want to get Xeno so we could meet up with Natasha at the mall.

"Xeno, I'm ready!" I shout from outside her door. Xeno walks out with a big smile on her face and an evil glint in her eyes. "What did you do now Xeno?" I ask, shaking my head.

"Nothing at all," she says with a big smile on her face. "Well, at least not to you, I just pranked Dave back". I shake my head, not wanting to know what she did .

"Let's go, before we are late," I said. We head to the bus stop and take the bus to find Natasha looking at us with an angry glare.

"Where the hell have you guys been?" Natasha shouted, getting even more worked up than she already is. "Do you know how long I've been waiting at the front of the mall looking like a fool?"

"Chill, the bus was just running a little late," I say, smiling at her to calm down.

It has now been two hours since we've been inside the mall and everyone had found a dress and shoes except for me.

Xeno bought a nude tight backless short dress and black shoes to match. I have to say that the dress looked really good on her, as it hugged every curve on her body.

Natasha bought a short, tight velvet dress and silver open toe shoes to match, the dress also outlining her body perfectly.

I'm indecisive about what to get, which is getting everyone really annoyed at me for not choosing my perfect dress for my night.We go inside this small store that read Vince in bold letters at the front.

I look around and spot a tall man dressed in a dark suit in the Male section of the store, with his back turned to me. Even though I could only see his back, he looks really muscular even through his tight fitted suit. I can't help but stare at him. It was as if I were drawn to him. He suddenly turns around and his forest green eyes meet mine for a quick second. I watch him as he turns and heads towards the cashier area but stops  picking something up. I can't t see what but his eyes meet mine again as he picks up the unknown item and then continue his journey to the cashier to pay for what looked like a suit. The man then left.

I can't shake the uneasy feeling of attraction I felt when I saw him but I force myself to focus on finding a dress.

I think that I finally found the perfect dress, but before I could go try it on for my friends to judge it, one of the workers came up to me to tell me that the gentleman that had just left the store had left something for me at the front.

My friends look at me strangely but didn't question it. I walk to the front, where the cashier hands me a note from the mystery man. It reads: "Hello darling, I couldn't help but imagine you wearing this dress because of how beautiful you are. I hope you wear it with the matching shoes. We will meet again soon." I look up with a confused expression on my face at the cashier only for her to hand me a short blue dress that flares off at the end, with strings on the back to keep it together. I take it and look at it, loving how it feels against my hands. The cashier then hands me this blue lacy strapped heels and says, "This is the matching shoes he paid for," I thank her and take the shoes.

I go back to my friends, showing them the dress and the shoes. I walk over to the changing room after my friends agreed that the dress was pretty. I try on the dress with help of Xeno since I couldn't tie the strings on my own and to my surprise, it is my perfect size. The dress is perfect, it outlined my body well and it made my boobs look more defined. Simply put, I love the dress, but the idea of allowing a stranger to buy anything for me doesn't sit well with me.

I change back into my own clothes and leave the change room. I go to the cashier and ask her if the man comes here often and luckily she says yes, to pick up his tailored suits. I ask her for the price of everything and she informs me of the price for everything. In return, I give her the money for the dress and shoes and tell her to give it to him when he returns.

I thank the cashier before leaving with the girls, who wouldn't stop asking a lot of questions that I don't even know the answer to, so I just keep quiet, replying over and over again that I don't know any more than they do.

I'm still in shock. I still can't believe someone so good looking could be interested in me, much less call me beautiful.

We all agree that the dress and shoes are really perfect and we couldn't stop talking about the whole ordeal while heading to Natasha's house. In all honesty I am still daydreaming about this mystery man and am hoping to see him again, just like what he said in his note to me…
