The Enlightening

Stacey was waiting for Shane when Annie called and asked, “Have you been to the dress shop for your fitting?”

“No, sorry Annie, I’d forgotten all about it.”

“Well, go now,” Annie said.

Stacey called a taxi and was there in twenty minutes. Mrs. McGraw had the gown ready. It just needed a tuck here and there. Stacey had picked out the evening gown from drawings Mrs. McGraw had mailed to her in Texas and then she had returned the drawings and her measurements. The floor length gown was a backless halter top with collar, made of white satin with a knee length slit down the middle. It would be the sexiest dress Stacey had ever worn.

She hoped Shane would like it. Stacey was trying her best to look more sophisticated for Shane. She was not immune to the looks he received from other women. They were always older, more sophisticated looking than Stacey. In October, in New York, women were quite open in their admiration of him. The funny thing was, he didn’t seem to notice. Stacey knew herself pretty darn well. She knew no matter how high she wore her hair, or how sexy and sophisticated her clothes were, deep inside she was still a Texas country girl who would be just as comfortable on a horse as in a limousine.

Actually, Stacey didn’t like limousines. The only one she’d ever ridden in was the night of her prom. She would rather have driven her jeep, but the other kids asked her to chip in for a limo, so she did. After the prom, most of the kids wanted to go to a hotel. That was where Stacey drew the line. She told her date who wanted to stay at the hotel. “I’m going home, if you wanna’ stay that’s up to you. Then she asked, “Does anybody wanna’ go back to Rawhide with me?”

Peggy Flatt and Yolanda Money said they would, but the limousine driver refused to take them back to Rawhide, so Stacey called Mr. Chen and he came to pick the girls up, and told the driver, “Sir, you must be careful not to break your arm. It would be difficult for you to drive.” Two days later he had a broken arm. Some sort of accident, they heard.

By the time Stacey got home, Shane was there. She told him where she’d been as she put the casserole in the oven, then sat down to be with him. She could see he was beyond tired.

“Would you like to watch the Rugby game on TV?” Stacey asked. “I can bring supper in to you on a tray.”

They ate and watched the game. Shane was dozing off before the game was half over. Stacey walked him upstairs and helped him undress and get into bed. He was sound asleep before she reached the door. Stacey cleaned up the kitchen, took a shower and went to bed.

The alarm was set for five, but before the alarm went off Stacey felt hands moving over her body, then her hair being lifted off her neck and replaced by his lips.
