A Night To Remember

Corie went absolutely bonkers that night when I told her how well our little plans had worked out, and that I would be going on my first date with Nate (wow, that rhymes) that coming Friday night.

“See?” she said. “I knew he couldn't resist you in those outfits!”

“Actually, I think it was more the hair and perfume that got him,” I replied. “He made a bit of a fuss about the clothes, but he kept looking at my hair and sniffing whenever he got close enough!”

“Whatever! It's like fishing, if you've got enough bait out there, you're bound to get a nibble!”

Mom was also excited for me. Her fondest wish as I was growing up was that I'd end up married to a doctor or lawyer or some other professional-type, and I'm sure she could already see visions of grandchildren dancing around her living room at Christmastime and other holidays!

The next few days went by like molasses in January, as my Dad liked to say; he'd grown up poor in the country, and had picked up a lot of old sayings like that from his grandparents, who lived with his family when he was a child. Normally, I ignored those old adages, but every now and then they just seemed to fit. This was one of those times.

Work was going great, and I was delighted to have Corie working there with me, but we didn't get a lot of time to spend together. She was learning to run the cash register from Donna (Nate and I were in agreement that Donna would be promoted to my assistant manager when he left, but we hadn't even hinted to her about it yet), and I was still getting in lots of practice in running the place. Nate kept me busy with work, so I didn't have time to worry about what our date would be like until I got off work each evening.

And then my brain would go nuts! Try as I might, I could not go to sleep without lying there an hour with daydreams and fantasies playing through my head, wondering what I should wear, should I get my hair done again (like I had any time when I possibly could) and a dozen other things that I hadn't done since I was in the eighth grade; Danny Milton had claimed to want me to go steady with him, and I was in Dreamy-Land for a week, waiting to meet him at the movie theater! Of course, that time turned out to be a practical joke, because he and some of his buddies wanted to humiliate me for showing them up in class. I cried for a week afterward.

This time, I promised myself, would be nothing like that! I'd seen enough of Nate to know that he wasn't the kind of guy to play games with someone, especially with someone's heart and feelings. I think he knew, or at least suspected, that I was seriously interested in what the future might hold, so I couldn't imagine that he'd be stringing me along.
