Sophia's P.O.V.
"Ugh," I frustratingly wiped more hair out of my face after getting paint on it. Great, I sigh throwing my hands into the air, the one time where I've actually got a good idea for a painting I loose it all cause of this damn hair. Throwing the paintbrushes onto the table I walk over to the sink and wash my hands. Once the paint was off I turned and looked into the reflection of the window and sighed at the mess of hair I had. Thats it, I decided I'm done you're gonna go I thought as I untied my apron and walked out of the studio.
There was a little salon down at the corner of the street where my studio was and I figured why the hell not. It needs to go and make someone else happy, I'll just donate it for kids with cancer I decided as I entered the shop. Walking to the desk I asked for the closest time with any of the hair dressers, she eyed the green glob of paint in my hair but looked through her little computer and told me, "You're in luck Lorraine has an opening in fifteen minutes, you'll love her she's great." The girl smiled at me as I nodded confirming the appointment.
"And what is your name?" She asked
"Sophia Kincain." I smiled my accent thickening as I said my name.
"Lovely, if you would sit over there during your wait." She pointed to an area with magazines and soft chairs.
"Thank you." I said as I walked over taking my phone out and texting James.
"Hey babe guess who's getting a hair cut!!!" I smiled as I pressed send only to have it vibrating short afterward.
"Hmm let me think... You? Haha that's great babe and btw be ready by 5 I have a surprise for you." Feeling a little giddy from the news I texted back, "What should I wear?"
"Just something casual and comfortable." He said before the girl from the desk pulled me out of our conversation.
Standing up I followed her to a tall lady with long blonde hair that was curled and looked like perfection.
"Hi I'm Lorraine," She greeted.
"Hello I'm Sophia," I told her as she ushered me into a chair and put a robe over me.
''So," She looked through my hair with her eyebrows scrunched together, "What do you want done to it?" She asked
"Just cut it off," I told her, "To about here." I pointed to my chin as she nodded to her thinking.
"Any layers or...?" She asked
"I don't care just make sure it's about to there," I pointed to my chin again, "And looks good." I said
"Okay, let's get your hair washed." She said eyeing the paint glob in it.

"Wow," I breathed looking into the mirror, "It looks beautiful." I whispered to myself smiling.
"Yeah it really does." The lady smiled at me through the mirror.
"Thank you." I said as she led me to the desk to pay.
Walking out of the boutique I decided why not get a new outfit for our date tonight, besides shopping is fun I giggled to myself as I went into a clothing store. Walking in it was like a breath of fresh air from comparison of my studio. I mean I love it but it can get a bit stuffy, sighing I got a idea and turned to worker/person, "Excuse me but I have a question," I stated as she turned to me
"What is it?" The girl said with a bright smile.
"Well I have a date tonight and I was wondering if you could like pick out my outfit?" I asked blushing slightly.
"Oh totally!" She beemed, "I've always wanted to do this for someone." She whispered to me as if it were a secret while she walked me towards the dressing room.
"Haha well I'm glad I could be of use."

"You really helped." I gave her a hug wearing my new outfit the old one discarded into a store bag for another time of use.
"Awe thank you," She said her bubbly personality showing, "Have a good time on your date." She waved goodbye
"Thank you I will." I waved good bye and left the store.
I began walking back towards the studio where the car was when another store caught my eye.
"Little box of treasures."
Inside the store windows were manqueins sporting bras and panties, and other lingerie. Thinking of James' and I's night before I blushed but headed towards the store nonetheless. Walking in I came accross a pretty set of lingerie that had a garner belt to connect with my stockings and lacy black panties and a bra. Grabbing the set in my size I took it and bought it.
I was a little nervous on wearing such wanton things but I was more excited to see James' reaction when he saw me wearing such scandalous items.

Spritzing on a few mists of my favorite perfume I slipped on my stockings and then my high heels, putting me at 5'4 which honestly I'll never get used to the look of this height. Fluffing my hair out I felt a little nervous about what James might say about my new hair cut. Wringing my hands I sat on the edge of my bed thinking about what his reaction to my surprise will be. I remeber Dakota telling me that guys found confident girls attractive and thats something I want to be for James tonight.
A knock sounded at the door and I found myself in James arms as we greeted each other with a hug, and I shyly looked up at him brushing a few sray hairs out of my face, "What do you think?" I asked and he instantly smiled and pulled me into a kiss whispering, "I love it."
"That's good," I sighed in relief, "I honestly thought you'd hate it." I gave him a lopsided smile as we made our way to his car. Opening the door for me he replied, "Sophia you could be bald and you'd still be just as beautiful as you were the day I first laid my eyes on you." I blushed at his sweet hearted comment and leaned back in the seat.

JAMES' P.O.V
Even in a crowd of people I felt like Sophia stood out with her vibrant red hair and stylish outfit. She tugged at her cotton candy wand and tucked a few pieces in her mouth, smiling at me contently.
"You wanna go on the ferris wheel?" I asked pointing up to the ultimate couples destination to any fair.
"Totally." She said throwing away the empty stick into a near by trash can before we walked over to the ferris wheel. The smell of her perfume was one of the sweet smells along with many others, and the salty smell of buttery popcorn wafted in the air. The bright lights strung across little wires danced with the stars in the Pittsuburgh night as the festival music was like a silent whisper against the crowds loud voice.
Gathering into the line we waited until it was our turn and we piled into a little blue stained compartment. Her tiny hand tucked into mine as I watched her look outside of the window and up at the stars, her cheeks pulling into a smile.
I let my hand trail down her leg as I softy rubbed it. She shivered and leaned closer to me putting her hand into mine trailing her fingers along the lines of my hand.
"James," She started looking up into my eyes, "I know it may be a little soon but I think I may be falling in love with you." She breathed out the smell of sweet cotton candy still on her tounge.
"Sophia, I think from the moment that we met I fell in love with you." I said pulling her into a kiss as the we were lifted into the air our little compartment swaying.

SOPHIA'S P.O.V
"James," I whispered into his neck as he lifted my legs around his waist carrying us to his bedroom.
"Wait, James I have something to show you." I said stopping him from unzipping my dress, pushing him onto the edge of the bed I walked out in front of him. Letting my dress fall to my ankles I watched his eyes drink up my lingerie clothed form as he sighed in content. Leaning down I began to slip off my heels, "Wait," James spoke, "Leave those on." He smirked walking over to me he pulled me on top of him as we fell into the bed.
Giggling I whispered, "Okay."
