had let her off easy the week before but surely today she
would have demanded more information. Either way see didn‟t want
to risk it. She took her shower and woke Ally up. While Ally
took a shower she looked through her clothes for something to
wear. The outfit had been washed but she couldn‟t wear that
again. She couldn‟t find anything decent though. Just a top that
was passable but not great by any stretch of the imagination.
She decided to wear it with the jeans from the outfit. Then it
would be a bit different she thought.
The day went by in a haze again and Annie had wished her
good luck and told her to be careful. Careful for what, she had
thought, this is Jake we are talking about. What would she have
to worry about? She got to the mall after school but didn‟t spot
the Porsche. It was a large parking lot that was situated all
around the mall so it could be anywhere. When she got to the
food court he wasn‟t there. She waited anxiously for fifteen
minutes before digging into her pocket. She found his card and
went looking for a pay phone. Just outside the food court. She
found the pay phones. The first one was missing the receiver.
She moved on to the second one and picked it up. She dug into
her pocket for change but couldn‟t find any. Just then she saw
him walking toward her.
“Sorry” he said apologetically “I got stuck in a business
meeting.”
“I‟ll make it up to you” he promised.
“I have to be home in an hour” she said trying not to sound
too disappointed.
“I can take you, so we have a little time” he said with a
sheepish smile, “if you can forgive me for being late that is.”
Of course she could.
“Are you busy tomorrow night?” he asked. She thought and
remembered that her mom had told her she would be home Saturday
night so if she wanted to hang out with Annie that would be ok.
She shook.
“Want to go with me to 67?” he asked.
The 67 was a brand new club that opened a few months ago.
It had immediately become one of the hotspots. Some of the
richer girls in school with college boyfriends and parents that
didn‟t keep track of them had tried to go. Only a few had gotten
in with fake ID‟s and even then they had been in line for over
an hour and a half.
“Sure” she said with a huge smile on her face”But I don‟t
have a fake ID to get in and I hear they are very strict there”.
“Don‟t worry about that” he said, “Do you have a dress?”
She shook, thinking of the dresses she had in her closet.
She was even embarrassed to wear those to a family gathering. No
way was she going to wear any of those to the hottest club in
the greater metropolitan area. He grabbed her hand and before
she could speak he dragged her to one of the fancier stores. In
the store he approached a sales woman who looked her over with
disapproval. He pointed at a red sparkly mini dress. The dress
was strapless and looked amazing. The woman grabbed the dress
and directed her to the dressing room. In the dressing room she
put on the dress and it fit perfectly. She looked in the mirror
and she looked amazing. This was not Kim Brown the plain girl.
This was Kim Brown femme fatale! She walked out of the dressing
room and both Jake and the sales woman nodded approvingly. The
woman got some red high heel shoes that fit the dress and they
too were a perfect fit. What where the odds? She wobbled as she
tried to walk around and quickly stopped not to look like an
idiot or worse and wipe out.
“We‟ll take them” Jake said not even checking the price.
She changed back into her normal clothes and they wrapped
up the dress and the shoes. Before she knew it they were out of
the store again.
“I‟ll take you home now” he said as he led her to the
parking lot and helped her into the car. They got back to the
apartment with 15 minutes to spare. He leaned over and kissed
her again. She immediately kissed him back and they made out in
a fury of passion. When they finally came up for air she grabbed
a
