nice for the party, please.”
My mom usually isn’t one to care what I wear, plus I think I usually look decent so this comment confused me a little.
“What are you talking about, Mom? Don’t I usually look ok? Is this like a black tie affair?” I asked laughing.
“No, Nathan, nothing like that. I just know that most the town will be there, so don’t show up in gym shorts. You never know, there may be some pretty girl there you might want to impress.”
“Mom…..what are you planning?”
“Cindy….don’t play match maker. Leave the boy alone.” Thanks, Dad.
“John, I just want to see Nate happy. He’s a great guy, loves his jobs, has a good family, good friends, but he needs love. I want to see him head over heels with the right girl. Plus, I’m not getting any younger, grandbabies would be nice!”
“Whoa! Ok, Mom, on that note, Nicky and I are going to head upstairs to get his clothes and then to my place to get ready. Please, if possible, wait until we’re gone to discuss my future wife and babies. And, I’m begging you, for the love of all that is holy, don’t finish what you started on the counter until we are gone. Totally out of view AND ear shot, please.” I heard my mom giggle at something my dad said as Nicky and I headed upstairs.
“So, Nicky, what do you want to wear to your party?”
“I want to look nice for Miss Elizabeth. I want to wear clothes like you wear.” Nick stated matter-of-factly.
“Sure, Nicky, let’s see what we can find.”
Nick is a grown man but he sometimes comes across much younger because he speaks his mind and faces more challenges than most. He usually wears sports pants/shorts and t-shirts because those are easiest to get on and off independently. He struggles with buttons and zippers. But, since I’ll be helping him, I grabbed his nicer pair of jeans plus a brown button up shirt and a pair of brown loafer type shoes. We said good-bye to our parents and headed to my Jeep. Since it was such a nice day, I had the top down and this excited Nicky. We both loved to drive with the wind whipping around us. Who wouldn’t? Well, any girl I’ve ever dated I guess. They were always too worried about their hair getting messed up. I always wanted to tell them to let loose and live a little.
Nicky broke my thoughts by saying, “I think Miss Elizabeth would love your Jeep. She’s really pretty, Nate. She could be your wife and have babies like Mom wants.”
Whoa! Hold on there bud. “Uh, Nicky, let’s not say stuff like that around Miss Elizabeth. It might make her uncomfortable. Plus, I’ve only met her a couple times, so I doubt we are ready for marriage and babies.” Nick just smiles like he has a secret.
We had about an hour to play video games before we needed to get ready. Nicky beat me on three games of Mario Kart; he’s really good, I don’t just let him win. After a quick shower, I went to my closet. I decided on jeans and a dark purple button up shirt with my casual dark gray sneakers. Along with my admittedly bad habit of sleeping around, I also have a bit of an addiction to shoes. I have to have the perfect shoes for specific clothing. Most women would be green with envy over my shoe collection. Hey, a guy has to look good, right?
Nick got his wish to dress like me, the only difference was our underwear. Nicky was a boxer man and I leaned more toward boxer briefs. Although, I’ve been known to skip the under clothes altogether depending on my mood. Sometimes the second layer feels a little redundant. I helped Nicky with his buttons and zipper. We both keep our hair pretty short, but I styled the front with a little gel on both of us and gave him a quick spray of cologne that he picked out. I don’t wear a lot of cologne; soap and deodorant is good enough for me. Nicky likes to wear it because he says it’s what men wear. Sometimes it hits me like a ton of bricks that my twin
