I looked around and stared at Kitty, I trusted her. It was a gut feeling and I’d learned to listen to my gut so I told her everything. I told her about the kisses, him getting into bed with me after I had nightmares. I even told her about Corey.
“So Corey is your brother?”
“Yes.” I nodded.
“Wow,” she stared at me.
I sat and waited.
All I could think about was, if this was a real date or not. If it was then I didn’t know if I was ready, what if it went wrong? What if I did something wrong? Then I’d have nobody. He’d become such a big part of our lives that I didn’t know what I’d do without him.
“So he said ‘I just asked you out on a date’ Those were his exact words?”
“Yes,” she leaned back in her chair a smile growing on her face.
“Chicka, that means he asked you out on a date”
“Really?”
“Uh huh,” she leaned forward “Wow, this is big.”
“It is?”
“Oh yeah, he hasn’t dated since-” she shook her head and stood. “You need something to wear”
“I do?” she grabbed my hand and lifted me off the couch.
“Yeah, you do. It’s the country club. When did you say you’re going?”
“Friday.” I said as she led me into her bedroom.
“So we’ve got two days to get you ready”
“I need two days?” I frowned.
She opened her wardrobe and started to look through all of her clothes.
“Yeah,” she pulled out a dress and laid it on her bed. “You need to shave, sort those caterpillars for brows out and-”
“My brows?” I said and covered them with my hand.
“Yeah, those things need to be sorted asap.” She pulled out a couple of pairs of pumps and put them down next to the dress.
“Don’t worry. I’ll help” she went back to the wardrobe and picked out several more dresses and tops and even a few skirts. By the time she was finished she had almost her entire wardrobe out.
“You sure this is enough?” I raised my ‘caterpillars’ and grinned.
“Hmmm, you’re right,” she pulled open a few drawers and started to empty those as well. I rolled my eyes, I’d never been good at sarcasm but I’m sure that was pretty obvious.
This was going to be a long night, so I sat down and waited until she was finished feeling like maybe I shouldn’t have asked.
“Okay, let’s try these on.”
“What? Now?”
“Yeah,” she pulled me up off the bed and handed me the first dress.
Yep, this was going to be a long night.
