Darry-
Soda was released from the hospital the following morning. He was fine, and sent home with pain meds. Today was Saturday and I really need to figure out where I was taking Jenny. Soda wouldn't shut up on the way home.
"Soda, man where should I take Jenny for our first date?", I ask
"How about dinner and a movie?", Soda suggests
"Over done", I reply
"How about a picnic and maybe watching the sunset?", Pony suggests
"It's a maybe", I reply
"How about dinner and a dance? Followed with a walk in the moon light?", Soda suggests
"Yeah", I say
The hours passed and it became six, I really need to get ready. I took a shower and went to my room. With a towel wrapped around my hips, my chest bare. I had no idea what to wear, it felt like high school all over again, "Soda",I called
"Yes", Soda says popping into my room.
"I need help", I reply
"What do you need help with big guy?", Soda asks
"What do I wear?", I ask
"Hmmmm, how about this blue shirt?", Soda suggests
He throws me the blue button up.
I go to grab a white t-shirt to put underneath. As, I reach for the shirt , Soda stops me. "What are you doing?, Dar", Soda asks'
"Putting a t-shirt under my shirt", I reply
"Nope, no shirt under.", Soda says
"Why not?", I ask
"A shirt with button is easier to take off with shaky hands.", Soda replies
"Are you suggesting I might have sex with Jenny?", I ask
"It's possible, you two are attracted to each other and happen to be adults.", Soda says
"Sex on the first date?", I say
"Dar, get with the program. This isn't high school , you aren't taking a girl out. You are taking a women out, one that doesn't have a curfew and a father who will kill you at home.", Soda says
"Oh and wear tighter boxers. They mold to your body and they say in place. They won't ruin your slacks, lose ones can cause a wedgie and ruin your slacks.", Soda says
"You are out of your mind.", I reply
"Nope", Soda says popping the p
I began to button the blue shirt and I buttoned the shirt to the top. Once more Soda had stopped me, I once more wondered why.
"Nope, I can't have that.", Soda says unbuttoning the top two two buttons.
"What was that necessary?", I ask
"You have a nice muscular body, use it. Show a little chest, you don't have to impress a father now.", Soda says
"Alright, what pants should I wear?', I ask
"These", Soda says handing me the black slacks.
I slipped on the slacks and turned to Soda. Soda had grabbed a light gray sweat and picked out a pair of loafers for me. I slipped on the sweater and loafers. I still haven't shaved, I probably needed too.
"Dar, don't shave.", Soda says
"Why?", I ask
"You look good with a little bit of facial hair.", Soda says
"Alright.", I say
I combed my hair making it neat and rubbed on some after-shave. I was ready for my date, I just needed to pick up some flowers. I made a plan for my date with Jenny, I was going to take her to dinner at a nice little place in Oklahoma City. We would eat a nice dinner , maybe dance and I would take her home. We would be home by midnight.
"Looking good, Dar.", Pony say looking up from his book
"One more thing Dar.", Soda says
"What, more could I need?", I ask
"These", Soda says handing me a roll of condoms
"Damn it, Soda", I say
"Remember no glove , no love." Soda says smirking
"Remember Dar, be a gentlemen. Don't be home to early.", Pony says scolding
"Yes , Mom", I say rolling my eyes
"Get going.", Soda says
I walked to my truck, I climb in and drive the floral shop. I walked in and looked at the flowers . I chose the red roses, I got a dozen and paid for them. A bonus for working as an accountant was I made three times as much as what I made as a roofer. Of course, I was a little nervous to return to the roofing job. Getting back on the roof made me nervous, that fall nearly costed me my life, my ability to walk and my family.
I climbed back into the truck and drove towards Jenny's house. She gave me her address before I left the hospital .She lived in a nice little neighborhood with three roommates. They rented the little house with the yard that was near the hospital.
I parked the car and climbed out nervously. I took my steps towards the house, I still had a slight limp when I walked. I had learned how to make it less noticeable, but i was dating a med student , she was weeks away from becoming a doctor. "Would she notice?" , I had wondered
How was I supposed to tell her about my accident? Should I tell her about my accident? I was nervous at the thought of her realizing my limp. I walked confidently up the steps and knocked on the door. A young man opened the door, I was sort of shocked when the young man came to the door. I figured Jenny would have female roommates.
"I'm Peter, one of Jenny's roommates", Peter says
Peter was handsome, he was a smart muscular man. I could tell he was smart by the way he carried himself and the way his voice was. He was definitely a med student.
"Darrel",I say shaking hands with the man
"Come in", Peter says
"Thanks", I say
"I'm glad Jenny's going out with you. She rarely goes out anymore, just studying, school and work.", Peter says
I took a seat and waited for Jenny to come downstairs. I noticed the two other roommates, they came closer to meet me. The three of them were studying downstairs. The books, pencils and notes were spread in the living 's house was a nice little middle class home.
"I'm Jamie, one of Jenny's roommates", the young women said
"Darrel", I say once more shaking hands
Jamie had young blond hair and blond eyes, she was obviously smart. She looked smart in the way she kept her hair, the way she dressed and her glasses. She had been studying before I came in.
"I'm John", the second man says
"Darrel", I reply
I shake hands with the third roommate
JOhn had short brown hair that was styled neatly. He wore jeans and a collage sweatshirt. He was nice and pleasant. He was the most social out of the three, we talked as i waited on Jenny.
I heard footsteps and my eyes were drawn towards Jenny. Her long silky hair was down neatly curled into ringlets. Her brown eyes sparked beautifully. She wore a skinny tight modest cut navy polka dot dress with navy heels and a light white sweater that matched her dress. Her dress had a belt that showed her thin dress was modest and showed off her legs just a bit.
She looked beautiful and had my attention the whole time. Her hips swayed as she came down the stairs with confidence. I felt like i couldn't form a sentence at the moment. She came towards me and placed a kiss on my cheek.
"These are for you", I say
"Thank you, they are beautiful. I will put them in some water real quick.", Jenny says
Author's note- Guess you will have to wait to find out what happens next.
