Chapter 4

Tina had been standing in front of the mirror naked for what seemed like an hour, debating back and forth about what to wear.

Tina: Why are you making such a big fuss, over this? Its just a date. Thats all it is. A date. Tina told herself over and over. She looked at herself in the mirror and decided that she would never get anywhere by going this route. She finally narrowed her choices down to two, flipped a coin and let fate make the decision.

Tina: Heads. Black dress it is.

Tina carefully applied her make-up. Making sure that every detail was in order. Lastly, she applied a bit perfume to back of her of her neck, and her wrists. As she was putting on the finishing touches, Tina heard a knock at her door.

Tina: Showtime. Tina said to herself and went to open to the door.

Bette: Wow, you looking incredible. Bette said as she gazed at Tina.

Tina: You are looking pretty incredible yourself. Bette had on a two-piece black pants suit, with a black collared shirt, black high heels, and a thick silver choker with a red circlet pendent. The effect made her look successful, mysterious, and *****.

Bette: Were matching. I didnt really for see that. Said Bette as she looked at Tina. Her beauty always floored her each time she saw her.

Tina: Yeah, I guess great minds, do, think alike.

Bette: I guess they certainly do. Are you ready to go?

Tina: Yes, just let me get my wrap.

Bette: Sure

As Tina was retrieving her wrap and purse her cell phone rang. She looked at the caller-id and smiled.

Tina: Yes, Mac. What do you want?

Mac: Is she there yet?

Tina looked over at Bette and smiled.

Tina: Yes shes here.

Mac: Ok, good. Heres what I want you to do. 1. Have a good time. 2. Drink lots of liquor. 3. ***** it out on the first date (with details).

Tina: Macalister James Benton, I will not. Said Tina with a laugh.

Mac: Come-on, you have to go where no man has gone before, at least that I know of.
