Getting Ready
Elizabeth was standing in front of her closet trying to decide what to wear, she didn't want to look like a slob, and she needed an outfit that was okay for anything, considering she and Bruce hadn't made any definite plans. Elizabeth was lost in thought when Jessica bounced into the room.
"Hey Liz, do you want my advice?" Jessica sat on the edge of the bed with a smile, ready to take over the job of being Elizabeth's fashion consultant.
"Do I have a choice?" She smiled, knowing she didn't, but she really wouldn't mind Jessica's help, Jessica always knew what to wear.
"Nope! Okay, Lizzie, I know you and I know that even though you said you are 'just friends' with Bruce, you wouldn't mind if his eyes popped right out of his head," she gave Elizabeth a knowing smile.
Elizabeth gave Jessica a glare but then a smile, "Okay, Agatha Christie, you got me, now what would you suggest that I wear?"
"Well, where are you guys planning to go?"
"We just decided to play it by ear."
Jessica rolled her eyes at this; only her sister would use an expression like 'play it by ear'. "All right, then I think you should go with a miniskirt and a-"
Elizabeth cringed, "Jess, I am not wearing a miniskirt."
"Come on Liz, don't be so uptight, it's not a micro-mini, it's a flowy, two-tiered skirt that stops just above the knees. You know that blue and white striped one I got last week?"
"Oh, I guess that would be okay," she conceded.
"Now, since this is a casual date, I mean get together, you should go with a fun top, a blue off the shoulder t-shirt would be nice."
"Gee, I don't know Jess, Bruce would probably take it the wrong way," Elizabeth said skeptically, although she didn't completely hate the idea.
"Well, you could go with a one shoulder or a halter top, but I wouldn't go with just a plain t-shirt, too blah, then again, that's more your style," Jessica said, she liked to see how far she could push her sister.
Elizabeth was mad at Jessica for saying that she was "blah", but she knew it was true, "Fine, I'll wear a one shoulder if that will make you happy!" She snapped, but that was just an act, she was kind of glad that she wouldn't be so conservative.
"Good. Now, sister dear, what did you tell Tom?" Jessica asked inquisitively.
"Um, I told him that I had to study," she said, looking down as a blush crept over her cheeks.
"Elizabeth Wakefield! I am so ashamed! How could you lie like that? Shame, shame!" Jessica said in mock-indignation and shook her head.
"Jessica! It was just a little white lie, you lie all the time! Why is it a crime if I do once, twice in my life?" Elizabeth replied in frustration.
"All right sis, calm down, don't go getting your undies in a bunch! I was only kidding," she paused, "But, why would you lie to him, you and Bruce are only friends," she said for the millionth time, but this was the first time she was really serious about it.
"I know, Jess, but well, what was I supposed to say, 'Sorry Tom, I can't go to the movies with you tonight because I'm going out on the town with Bruce Patman'? And to be honest Jess, he says that he trusts me, but he wouldn't believe me on this," Elizabeth shook her head, "You know he wouldn't."
"Of course he wouldn't, he's a guy," Jessica said with a small, reassuring laugh, "Besides, what guy in his right mind would believe that a guy would want to be just friends with either of the beautiful Wakefield twins?" She finished with an enchanting smile.
Elizabeth laughed and then her face grew serious, "How should I wear my hair?"
