“Aww…come on!” Joanna whined over at her friend, “You haven’t been out in how long?” Big brown eyes pleaded with the brunette, and she sighed deeply.
“I dunno it’s been about…”
“Five years? Ever since you broke up with what’s-her-name…” Joanna waved a hand dismissively as she started rummaging through Dee’s closet.
Allison was her name…Dee thought as she watched the blonde digging through her clothes. “I don’t feel like going out. I just want to kick back, and watch Animal Planet.”
Joanna looked over her shoulder at her friend before she turned around to fully face her. In her hands she held a slinky silver halter top, “Animal Planet?”
“Yes I love that channel, and I wouldn’t wear that out.” She made a face at the halter top before she crossed her legs. She was sitting on the edge of her bed, her hair pulled up into a messy bun, and her usual pajama bottoms.
Joanna narrowed her eyes at her, “Oh you are going, and you will be wearing this. Along with whatever else I have picked out.” She stuck her tongue out at the other woman as she tossed the halter onto the queen sized bed.
Dee eyed her for a moment, “I will be going out? I will be wearing that? Since when do you tell me what to do?” Her grey eyes flashed with a slight annoyance at Joanna. Joanna had been her best friend since high school, she was the first one that Dee had come out to, and she had been there for her when Allison decided that she wasn’t a lesbian anymore.
Joanna nodded as she removed a pair of low rider jeans from Dee’s closet, “Yes, you will be going out because I want the house to myself tonight.” She tossed the jeans next to the halter on the bed before going back to rummaging through Dee’s closet.
A slim brown brow raised and a smirked formed on her plump lips, “So John’s coming over tonight then hmm? When do I get to meet mister tall, dark, and incredibly annoying?”
Dark brown eyes rolled as Joanna walked over to the bed to lay a pair of black pumps next to the jeans, “He’s not annoying he just has a lot of quirks. Now, go take a shower, and make yourself presentable.” She grabbed Dee’s arms, and hauled her up.
Dee groaned, “Fine. I’ll go out, but just for you.” She smirked as she grabbed her robe off the back of her door, “You know with all the favors I do for you I might just start calling some in myself.”
Joanna laughed as she tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder, “Right. I’ll run down to the sex shop first thing in the morning and buy you a new vibrator.”
“Yeah, yeah. Make sure it’s expensive, and thick.” Dee called over her shoulder as she went towards the bathroom.
She shut the door after hearing Joanna’s deep laughter. Pulling open the shower door she turned on the water to let it warm before she started getting undressed. She stuck her hand underneath the stream of water, making sure it was warm enough before she stepped underneath the falling water.
Why do I let her talk me into things? Dee wondered briefly as she began to wash her hair.
“Oh yeah. You look good.”
Dee rolled her eyes as Joanna inspected her like a cut of fresh meat.
“Oh yeah, she’s going to love you.”
“Where did you meet this chick at anyways?”
“Oh, she’s someone I work with.” Joanna said as she waved her hand again.
“What? You’re setting me up with a stripper?”
Joanna’s gaze narrowed, “Not a stripper! We’re adult entertainers.” Her tone was matter of fact with her friend, as she scooped up the other’s purse. “Now, the reservations are at 8 o’clock. You do know how to get to the restaurant right?” She smiled as Dee nodded, “Don’t worry. You look beautiful.”
Dee sighed, “I’m not worried. I just don’t want to go…” She muttered before checking her reflection in the mirror. Her long brown hair was curled lightly, and hung loose around her shoulders. The halter fitted her nicely, and complemented her grey eyes, making them look more silvery. The pumps would take a little getting used too, seeing as how she hadn’t worn pumps in years.
“Alright! Time for you to skedaddle! I’ve got to get ready for my date.” She grinned and bounced a little on the balls of her feet.
Dee sighed again as Joanna pushed her out the door, “How will I know it’s her?”
“Oh, here…” She handed Dee a long stemmed yellow rose, “This is how she’ll know it’s you.” Joanna giggled a little at the look on Dee’s face, “Yellow is her favorite color.” She smiled, “She wanted to date me, but when she found out I was strictly on a cock diet she decided to ask if I knew anyone. She’s new to the area, and her name is Scarlet.” She pursed her lips in thought for a moment, “Yeah, that’s her name.”
“You know, I love how you just forget things…” Dee ground out in annoyance. “Alright, wish me luck, and be careful on your own date tonight. I’ll be home before midnight.”
“Hopefully not…” Joanna muttered before she pushed Dee out the door while handing her the car keys, “Have fun!”
Dee growled as the other woman shut the door in her face, “I swear I’m going to kill her…one day.” She rolled her eyes, and then started down the stairwell.
Once she got out to the parking area she hit the button to unlock her car. After opening the door she slid in, and buckled up. With her hands on the wheel she said a small prayer, “God, please don’t let me get hurt again…” She sighed again before she started the engine and headed towards the restaurant.
