out items. Soon she had Aqua changing and in a matter of minutes had moved on to Aqua’s makeup and hair. In less than half an hour Aqua was looking in the mirror with a shocked look on her face.
Who was that vamp? She had a short black leather skirt with sheer black stockings a deep purple silk tank and purple high heels on. Her hair was now flowing down her back in a ruffled manner with darker more dramatic makeup finishing out the look. Wanda stepped back to admire her work. “That’ll get him going, you’ll be fighting the men off and it’s going to make that man of yours crazy.”
Aqua was still in shock at how she looked when they met up with Amanda and walked in to the Acorn together. They snagged a table in the back and told the waiter to keep their glasses full and the music loud. A comment about the waiter’s backside brought laughs from all three women and caught the attention of several men in the place. Blu and his brother-in-law were among those that were now watching the three women.
“What are they doing here?” Blu asked Amanda’s husband Will.
“Not a damn clue, but it can’t be good,” was his replied. The men drank a little more and watched the women with wary eyes.
Amanda snuck another peek at the men and turned to the other women. “Oh boy are they keeping an eye on us. I think it’s time we danced.” She and Wanda each took one of Aqua’s hands and drug her onto the dance floor. With much laughing and ribbing the three women danced through several songs. They refused the men that came to join them. Even Will was turned away by Amanda. “Girls only,” she told him with a wicked laugh.
Will walked back to his table and downed his beer in one slug. “This is not good and I blame you Blu.”
Blu frowned at him, “What the hell did I do?”
Will watched his wife and her friends for another minute and muttered, “don’t know but we are toast brother, toast.”
Watching the women, especially Aqua, Blu was having trouble hiding his reaction to her. He wanted to be dancing with her and feel her against him, touch him. She looked different tonight, sexier and he wasn’t the only one noticing. He heard other men making comments and watched as the three women shooed away man after man as they danced and laughed amongst themselves.
Aqua was having fun, dancing with her friends and watching Blu frown. She drank more than she normally would , knowing the girls had her back. She knew he watched her, could feel his eyes following her. It made the evening even more fun for her. She wanted him to want her, to realize what he was missing. She chuckled as another man was brave enough to approach the women and asked Aqua to dance. She could literally feel Blu tense up. Aqua wasn’t interested in making him jealous with another man. She just wanted him to accept her and besides, because she loved him, she didn’t want to dance with anyone else.
The music was winding down and the band announced the last dance, a nice slow ballad perfect for snuggle dancing. “Well girls, I think we should put our guys out of their misery,” Aqua said. The three women got up from the table, finished their drinks and headed for the guy’s table. They were wary as each woman took their guy’s hand and lead them to the dance floor. Blu was surprised that Aqua had taken his hand, but he’d been wanting to dance with her and wasn’t going to argue.
“I thought you were mad at me,” he whispered in her ear as he pulled her close and started to slowly sway. “Shhh, I’m still not talking to you,” she replied as she leaned in closer to his big warm body. They were quiet as they continued to dance.
When the dance was over , the girls headed out together in the car provided by the Acorn to drive patrons home. They laughed as they pushed the men away and giggled all the way home. Aqua was a little more than tipsy when she got home and stripping down figured a nice long shower would clear her head. It
