Chapter 20
Dotty had another date arranged with Wayne. For all he was an over-sensitive soul, he seemed keen, so she decided she would ignore his recent moodiness and give him the benefit of the doubt. He had invited her over to his place for a meal. He offered to pick her up, but she insisted on driving. She wanted to be in control. That way she could leave when she wanted. Plus, if he were cooking, he would be too busy to give her a lift.
His aftershave smelt divine and she blinked at the sight of him in a blue T-shirt. His muscles squeezed out of the sleeves. She imagined him as a white version of the Incredible Hulk and that his top would ping apart any moment.
“You look nice,” he said as he kissed her and pulled her into the hall.
“So, do you.” Dotty smiled as Wayne helped her out of her leather jacket. Tonight, she had worn a tight-fitting black and white dress which had big red roses dotted about the material. It highlighted Dotty’s curves. The pencil style skirt made moving difficult, and it had to be done with grace and poise. The cotton and lycra mix showed no mercy. Dotty would normally have worn her large body-shaping spandex knickers underneath, but they weren’t the most flattering. If tonight was going to be the night that the couple made sweet music, then Dotty didn’t want Wayne finding out all her body confidence secrets. So, instead, she wore her sexiest lingerie, matching eyelash black lace bra and knickers.
The anticipation of how the evening would pan out made her nervous. She was shown to the sofa of the small cottage. She crossed and uncrossed her legs. The table had been laid with a white cloth and a small posy of flowers in the middle. Dotty was impressed. Wayne fixed drinks for them both then left Dotty while he rushed into the kitchen to tend to his cooking.
“Do you need any help,” Dotty shouted.
“No, you relax. I shouldn’t be too long. When Wayne returned, he wore an apron that had the words – do you want to see my sausage emblazoned across the front. Dotty smiled. It wasn’t exactly subtle, but she liked his sense of humour. There was a candle on the table that Wayne promptly lit.
“If you’d like to be seated. madam, your first course awaits.” Wayne bowed his head and Dotty took the napkin off the table, placing it on her knee. Wayne brought out two plates of duck liver pate, served with toast.
“I’m impressed. Did you make this yourself?” She smiled across at Wayne sat opposite.
“I could lie and say yes but then I’d come unstuck if you asked me for the recipe. It’s Sainsbury’s Finest.”
“You’ve gone to a lot of trouble.”
“I’ve got competition, haven’t I? If I’m going to woo you, I must put the effort in.” He winked at her.
“You’re certainly doing that,” she said, nodding. “This tastes delicious.”
Wayne followed up the first course with lasagne and then strawberries and ice cream.
