lookout for that car, okay? It’s been bugging me all day, so just be careful. If you need me, give me a call.” Dom said to Nate in a serious tone. “I will, Dom. Thanks.” He knew he could count on Dom for anything. They were always there for each other no matter what.
After an hour talking about what his brother had been up to, Dom left. Nate had two hours before he had to pick up Skylar for their date. God, he hadn’t been on one in five years , he thought, but it all was good. Going through the cinema guide as to what movies were on, there were a few good ones he wanted to see. He placed the guide on the table in the foyer near his keys and then processed to get some stuff done around his house. After about an hour passed, he started getting ready for his date. While doing that, he thought to himself how excited he was that he finally went over to her house to ask her out. He had to admit he was nervous about how she was going to react going on a date with him. He only hopes now that when he tries to get to know her and asks her about her life and her past that she doesn’t decide to end the date right then and there.

As soon as Skylar finished up her orders she needed to do for work, she decided to call Chantal and see if she wanted to come over for a while before she went out with Nate.
“So is this a date?” Chantal asked while going through Skylar’s closet, then adding, “You don’t have much to work with in here. I knew I should have brought some stuff with me.”
Annoyed by what her friend said, Skylar immediately replied, “This isn’t a date, Chantal. It’s just two people going out as friends and getting to know each other. And for your information, there is plenty of stuff for me to wear, I just can’t decide what.”
Rolling her eyes, Chantal looked at her friend while waving her hand at her closet and says, “There are only jeans and tops in here. There’s not one skirt or a dress in here.” Chantal knew Skylar didn’t wear skirts. She didn’t know why, but at least she should have a dress in here. Just then, Chantal remembered that Skylar did have a dress. “Where is that dress you bought a few months ago? The one you wore to Mark and Emma’s engagement party. That will work for tonight.”
Sighing, Skylar knew what she was talking about. She walked over to her closet and grabbed a bag that was hanging in the corner and then tossed it onto her bed.
Chantal opened the bag and pulled out the black dress. Holding it up, she said, “This is perfect for tonight – not too classy; just right for going to the movies.” She handed the dress to Skylar while she went over to the dresser and grabbed the sexy black thong that she knew Skylar bought the other day when they went shopping. She went back into the closet to pull out some black knee-high boots. Setting everything on the bed, Chantal said, “Perfect, we have your outfit picked out. Now just need to do your hair and make-up. I would suggest wearing your hair up with a couple of strands hanging down, add just a hint of make-up, and then you will be all set.”
Looking kind of shocked by what her friend picked out, Skylar asked in a confused tone, “What about a bra?”
Laughing, Chantal took the dress and said, “You can’t wear one with the way the back is on this dress, girl. It will ruin the look of how the dress is supposed to be.”
Skylar had a feeling she would say that, and agreed. When the outfit, hair and make-up were decided, Chantal told her friend she had to leave but she would come back later on after the so-called ‘date’ and see how everything went. When they had decided on her hair and makeup, Chantal left, telling her that she would come back later after the so-called “date” and see how it went.
After her friend left, she headed for the bathroom to start getting ready. She looked over again at what her friend had picked out, and wondered if she
