56. Panicking
“Hello?” Gwen says in the phone a little sleepy.
“Help me! I’m going on a date with Arthur. TONIGHT!” Merlin franticly exclaims, receiving a yelp of delight as response.
“Oh My God! Finally! I was starting to think you two would never stop dancing around each other.”
“Gwen! Focus! I don’t know what to do! And Arthur will be here in half an hour!”
“What!?” It’s Gwen’s turn to exclaim franticly. “You should have called me sooner! Alright! We can do this!” She pauses for a moment, thinking. “Okay Merlin, open my Christmas present. It’s that blouse we saw in the mall and you actually said you liked it.”
“Really?” Merlin says smiling. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome. Now, use those black jeans of yours that are impossibly tight. It gets Will ogling you every time, I doubt Arthur will be immune to it.”
“Gwen!” She chides blushing, but grabs the pants anyway. “What else?”
Gwen is silent for a moment, mentally roaming through Merlin’s stuff. She knows her best friend’s room as well as her own.
“Use the earrings I gave you on your last birthday and let you hair loose.” And almost as an after thought, she adds. “And put some make up on! I don’t care if you hate it!”
“Fine!” Merlin huffs on the phone while struggling to get inside the jeans. “What do I do when I get there? What do I say?”
“That’s up to you.”
“Gwen!” She whines. “Help me! I’m going to ruin this.”
“Don’t be silly, Merlin!” Gwen chides. “Of course you won’t ruin anything! Arthur likes you already. He knows you. No need to freak out. You guys are great together. I can already see the wedding. I’m totally going to be your maid of honor!”
“WHAT?” Merlin squeaks shocked and exasperated. “I’m hanging up!”
“Have fun!” The dark-skinned girl says between giggles before the line goes dead.
Finally, things seem to be working out for Arthur and Merlin.
