Chapter Twenty-two

“Umm, I don’t know about this dress either,” Tamarra said with her nose turned up. She had her back toward the full length mirror, looking over her shoulder to see how the long, chocolate brown gown looked from the rear. She’d stopped counting how many size twelve dresses she’d tried on after the first one.

Paige sucked her teeth. “Tamarra, this is the last of the five maid of honor dresses that I picked out for you, and you’ve given each of them the thumbs down. Now my ego is a little bruised. I’d like to think that I have halfway decent taste.”

Tamarra sighed. “You do, friend. It’s not you or your taste, it’s just me.”

“Maybe you’re right. Some of those suits you wear to church are a little out dated, and those hats.”

“Tamarra sighed again. “Yeah, you’re probably right. A little outdated. And those hats.” Tamarra turned to face the mirror. She looked at herself one last time before frowning with slumped shoulders.

“As a matter of fact, I think I’m just going to have Sister Lorain be my maid of honor. I’m sure she could work any of these dresses out.” Paige was testing her best friend to see if she were really focused on the task at hand.

“Yeah, Sister Lorain,” Tamarra agreed with a nod and sigh. “She’d work any of these dresses out.”

“Okay, that’s it,” Paige snapped. “You’re not even really paying attention to anything I’m saying. Your mind is a million miles away. Perhaps we should just do this another day. I thought picking out the maid of honor gown with my maid of honor was going to be fun, but it’s been about as fun as watching paint dry.”

“I’m paying attention, Paige, really,” Tamarra tried to convince her friend. She didn’t want to do it another day. In being honest, she hadn’t wanted to do it today, but she knew she had to get it over with, and get it over with was what she wanted to do. How could she possibly enjoy? How did her best friend think could she could enjoy doing anything that had something to do with a wedding when her relationship with her man was pretty much history? Heck, if she were back in the world, she and her girlfriends would have been downing Apple Martinis somewhere and having an “All Men Are Dawgs” male bashing session. And it would have taken God’s grace and mercy to get them back home safe and sound without wrapping their vehicles around a telephone pole or jeopardizing someone else’s life. It was times like these that Tamarra was so glad she was saved.

“If you’re paying so much attention, what did the first dress that you tried on look like?” Paige stood with arms folded, resting her weight on one side of her leg while Tamarra failed to recall any details. “Okay, what about the second dress?” Same result, Tamarra couldn’t even recollect the red satin bow that wrapped itself around the chocolate brown gown and rested on her hind end.
