Mary was busily getting prepared for her date with Ben when someone knocked
on her apartment door. Mary quickly threw on a shirt and a pair of cotton
capris and opened the door. She was stunned to see that it was Wilson, her
old boyfriend.
"Oh, no!! You're not here to propose too, are you??"
"Whoa! Slow down, Mary! We broke up, remember? Lucy told me what was going on and I decided to come by and give you some advice."
"Oh, ok, whew!!! The last thing I need right now is another proposal. C'mon in. I'm getting ready for a date with Ben, but we can talk anyways."
Wilson followed Mary into the master bathroom, where she busied herself with applying her face make-up. Wilson pulled up a cushioned chair and sat down across the room from her.
"So, both Ben and Robbie popped the question?" Wilson said with a laugh.
"Yeah, and you know what is kinda funny? This morning I thought that I loved them both! But now…"
"You want to know what I think? I think that you should marry Ben. He's nice and would never do anything to harm you. He will stand by you forever! He's never cheated on you, got busted for drugs, or abused you!! You need Ben!"
By this time Mary was in tears and streaking the freshly applied make-up.
"Oh, Wilson, that was soo sweet! But actually I had pretty much made up my mind that I was going to marry Ben. Even though I still love Robbie and I probably always will, Ben is the man of my dreams."
"Good choice, girl! I've got to go pick up Billy from the daycare center. I hope everything works out for you!"
After Wilson had left, Mary quickly reapplied her make-up and walked to her closet to pick out something to wear.
Should I wear my jean mini skirt with a yellow sparkly tank, or my black mini dress with the low-cut back?
She tried to think about what kind of date it would be. Dinner and dancing? Then the black dress. Dinner and a movie? The jean skirt. Dinner and coffee at Starbucks? She decided that she needed something a little dressier than the jean skirt, but not as dressy as the black dress. She walked back to her closet and found the perfect outfit. Her black mini skirt with a pink baby tee! She picked up a pair of straw-bottomed black sandals and a black sweater. But rethinking, she put the sweater back, knowing that it would get chilly, but also knowing that Ben would have a jacket.
Perfect!!! She thought to herself.
She was just putting the finishing touches on her outfit and had just finished doing her hair when Ben knocked on her apartment door. She opened the door and he was standing there in a pair of khaki pants and a hunter green polo shirt. His hair was gelled and the slightly bleached top was in perfect contrast against his natural dark brown.
"Hi, Mary. How are you this evening?"
"Hey, baby. Im fine, thank you. Come on in for a second while I get my purse."
Ben came in and sat down on the couch while Mary ran back into her bedroom to get her purse and the cardigan that she decided to wear. She heard a knock at the door and was surprised to see that Ben was sitting on the couch looking at her. She walked to the door and opened it.
"Oh, my god. Hello….Robbie."
"Oh, no!! You're not here to propose too, are you??"
"Whoa! Slow down, Mary! We broke up, remember? Lucy told me what was going on and I decided to come by and give you some advice."
"Oh, ok, whew!!! The last thing I need right now is another proposal. C'mon in. I'm getting ready for a date with Ben, but we can talk anyways."
