One Drunken Mishap ✔️

19: It's getting a bit hot in here

Right at two o'clock, the girls showed up.  They told me to shower and get ready because they were going to make me look amazing. As I was showering, Kara yelled, "Don't forget to shave." No one wants to date grizzly Addams!"

I rolled my eyes as I heard laughter.  Ah, the perks of a woman, having to shave your legs and armpits regularly.  I did it anyway because it's better than waiting, which takes longer.

Once I showered, I dried off and put on my clothes. I held up a matching pair of lacy underwear: Mel.

I put them on, and then next came the dress. It was a red satin form-fitting dress with straps that went to my knees.

I had to admit Mel did have incredible tastes.

I walked out of the bathroom to be met with whistles from the girls. I looked at them and shook my head. Then I walked over and sat in front of the mirror as they did my hair and makeup.

They left my hair down in loose curls and gave me a look of flawlessness, with makeup that was light and airy. I was kind of glad. I hated too much makeup, and my skin felt like it couldn't breathe.

Then, they topped it off with a pair of satin pumps.  I stood up and looked at them.

"Well?"

"Girl, I have a feeling that dress is going to end up on the floor, and that's quite all right," Mel smirked.

I looked at her.

"If it doesn't end up on the floor, remind me to smack you," Kara grinned.  Tara rolled her eyes.

"Don't listen to these two knuckleheads. Just go and have fun. That's the main thing," she advised.

"Such a mom," Mel said, rolling her eyes.

"Not everything has to be about sex, you know," Tara retorted.

"Twin, she is single and ready to mingle. Of course, it's about sex.  Give the girl a break," Kara countered.

"Then why haven't you let Wyatt put a ring on it," she shot back.

"Wyatt and I are excellent just the way we are."

"Yeah, as heathens," she snapped back.

Then they started bickering. Finally, Mel interjected, "Look, whatever happens tonight, just let it happen. Scott doesn't strike me as the type who will make you do anything you don't want to."

"I don't think it's that," I sighed.

They all looked at me.

"Then what is it," Tara asked.

"This is just the first date I've been on since Ben. He's the only one I had dated before we married. I'm a little nervous," I said to them.

"Oh honey, being nervous is fine; just stay away from the drink," Tara suggested.

"Lina, Scott is crazy about you. We all see it. I mean, he did tell some lunkhead you had a billion kids," Kara grinned.

I laughed at what happened at the gym.  That was pretty funny.

"Plus, someone else didn't look too happy when some girls talked to him," Mel added.

I looked at them.

"Lina, you like Scott?" Tara asked.

I took a deep breath, then said, "I do. When Scott kisses me, I feel something I have never felt before, not even with Ben. When he's around me, it's like the world stops, just him and me. Scott's amazing with Kami and Georgia. He has all these different sides to him.  Plus, he makes me laugh a lot."
