and no man to take care of her if she wanted. Not that she would ever want to be a woman who stood smiling by her man’s side. That was her mother, not her. Lexi was a strong confident woman, who held her own. At least she thought she was.
She slipped the dress up her body and put the asymmetrical strap over her one arm. Thankfully she was able to get the side zipper up by herself. She smoothed the dress down and looked up at her reflection. She nearly fell over from disbelief. That couldn’t be her in the mirror, she looked too good.
The dress fit like a glove hugging every curve and offering a very generous slip that cut to her upper right thigh displaying her toned legs. Thank you squats!
“Come on Lex, I’ m dying out here.” Margo whined.
Lexi chuckled and walked out of the dressing room, wishing her hair was not in a wet bun on top of her head.
Margo stared at her with her mouth open. “Oh my God, you’re getting that dress and I don’t care what you say. You look beyond amazing. I’m sending a picture to Parker.”
Lexi did a quick pose for the camera and then looked at the mirror again that was in the middle of the dressing room. “I do kind of look good, don’t I?”
“Kind of? Girl, you look hot. Jake is not going to know what hit him. Teach him to make a bet again.”
Lexi’s phone chimed, it was Parker.
Parker: Uh, you are not going out in that, you look too damn good.
Margo read the text message out loud and slightly frowned but gathered herself when she looked back at Lexi. Very interesting, Lexi thought. If Margo kept razzing her about Jake, Lexi was going to have to return the favor with Parker. Although it wasn’t like Lexi’s teasing would really affect her friend. Margo had her fair share of men throughout their years together. She probably had her share and Lexi’s share, maybe that’s where all the men went that were supposed to be paying attention to her, they were all over at Margo’s. Not that she blamed them. Margo had the longest legs she had ever seen and the prettiest brown hair, a color you can’t find in a box or at a salon and beautiful green eyes.
“Please tell me you’ re getting that.”
Lexi played with her friend a little. “I don’t know. It shows an awful lot of leg.”
Margo blew out a frustrated breath. “You have got to be kidding me. I’m going to shoot you. If you can’t realize that is the perfect dress for you…”
Lexi cut her friend off before she blew a gasket right in the middle of the department store. “Margo I’m kidding, of course I’m going to get this dress. It’s perfect.”
“Thank God, I really wasn’t in the mood for wrestling you to the ground and forcing you to buy the damn thing.”
Lexi raised an eyebrow at her. “You really think you could take me?”
“We’ re not getting into this right now. Go get dressed, I’m starving and there is a piece of pizza at Sbarros that’s calling my name.”

Jake’s palms were sweating, he was actually nervous. He had never in his life been nervous when it came to taking a girl out. What was his problem? He should probably blame Parker. Jake saw him in the weight room earlier that morning and all Parker could talk about was how amazing Lexi looked in the dress she picked out for the night. Jake thought about it and wondered how amazing could a dress really be? Parker was probably just trying to fake Jake out, make him nervous.
Parker did give him a little man to man warning though, which Jake thought was odd. If Jake didn’t know any better he would have thought Parker had feelings for Lexi. How unlucky would that be for Jake if that really was the truth? Then he would have absolutely no shot at getting to know Lexi. That’s all he really wanted, he wanted to get to know her a little better, see what made her tick and if he happened to kiss her then, oops, so be it.
