A few hours later, Tommy picks up the phone to call his mother. He had needed a little time to process seeing Kim and took a few aspirins to ease the slight tension he felt.
"Hi, mom how is it going?" Tommy asks his mother as he lays a tie on the bed.
"Good, your father is asleep in his recliner and I am curled up on the couch." Mrs. Oliver turns the volume down on the television.
Tommy laughs, "Sounds like the usual at the Oliver household." "Some things never change."
"Honey, I just watched on the news about the power failure at the Regional Theatre," Mrs. Oliver sips her tea. "I knew you wanted to catch the show."
"Yes, mother I did want to see the production of Cats but there is always another day," Tommy moves hair out of his face. He did not want to mention that he was going to be Kim's escort to the production. "I can think of something else to do."
Mrs. Oliver sets her cup of tea down. "Do those plans involve a woman perhaps?" "I am sure you can meet a nice woman and bring her home to meet me and your father."
Tommy knew his mother was going to mention a woman. "If I meet someone I deem worthy of meeting my parents then I will bring her home to meet the family." "Until then just continue to pray for me a wife like you do," Tommy reaches for his glass that was on the night table.
"I sure will but please stop dating women whom seem vain," Mrs. Oliver sighs. "I know you want to be attracted to the woman that you are dating but there is more than looks besides I know what a catch you are and that makes you an easy prey for predators."
"Oh mom, I can handle myself; really I have matured enough to tell the difference between a hollow, empty, pretty shell and a caring, intelligent, beautiful woman." Tommy puts his tie back into his suitcase. "I have to go and shower; I was at the gym earlier but I wanted to check on my two favorite people first."
Mrs. Oliver smiled. She knew her son was telling her in a nice way that he had to go. "Sure baby, just remember what I tell you; especially since the last one was…"
Tommy interrupts his mother. "Can we just not mention her okay?"
"Whatever you say; I love you," Mrs. Oliver tells her son.
"I love you too." Tommy smiles into the phone. "Talk to you soon."
"Bye sweetheart," Mrs. Oliver hangs up the phone with a smile on her face.
Tommy cradles the phone in his hand for a second before he presses the few buttons to be connected to Kim's room. "Hey, Kimberly, I am glad I caught you."
"Why is something wrong," Kim asks as she applies moisturizer to her hair. He is not backing out of our date… two friends hanging out. Kim holds the phone nervously she can feel her hands beginning to sweat and the phone slide a little.
"No, nothing dire," Tommy softly smacks himself on the forehead. He could feel Kim's tension and did not like that he was the cause of it. "Cats will have to wait for another day since the theatre is having issues with their power." "Due to the power failure we have to think of something else to do." "If you are dressed than we can go somewhere fancy though."
Kim sighs in relief. Whoa Kimberly calm down; it is just two friends hanging out to escape boredom. "I am not dressed yet; what do you have in mind?"
"Movie and dinner or dinner and a movie," Tommy tells her.
"Sure that sounds like a plan," Kim turns and looks at the dress she was going to wear. Why to dressy for dinner and a movie. "Dinner and a movie sound fine."
Tommy grins into the phone. "Great see you in the next hour."
"Okay, see you then," Kim relaxes as she can sense the strain leave Tommy's body. Kim hurries to the closet with the dress in her hand. This will not work; I need to find something more appropriate to wear. She pulls out a thigh length black dress that emphasis her chest and behind. Kim slides the dress on over her black bra and black and pink panties. She applies her makeup before she fusses with her hair again. She looks at herself in the mirror. Okay, Kim, this dress suggests you want to sleep with him. Should you really wear this; Kim thinks as she slides on a pair of high heels that she loved. The shoes gave her a height she enjoyed. Before Kim could give herself, a second thought about her outfit there is a knock on the door.
Tommy checks his breathe as he knocks on Kim's hotel door. Although his breathe was okay he popped a mint into his mouth anyway. Maybe I am too earlier; I mean she did have to change her outfit and knowing Kim that can take some time. However, do I really know her I mean she did not really know herself so how could I? Tommy straightens his shoulders because he felt the urge to look down at his suit and contemplate if he made the right choice. He had tried on four different suits before deciding on the black one. Tommy looks up as Kim opens the hotel door.
What is next for the first power ranger super couple?
