rising and thought better of it. “If it will make you feel better. I’ll see if Brandon has a problem changing our plans.”
“It will.”
“Okay. I’m handing the phone back to Darren now. I’ll check in on you later.”
As soon as Sue got into her sister’s car to go for the dress fitting , Kimberly pounced on her. “Spill it. I want to hear every detail about last night.”
“There really isn’t anything major to tell. ” She settled into the seat and fastened the belt. “He ordered us a pizza and we went back to his place. I got to meet his dog and we danced in his living room.”
“That’s it?”
Sue nodded.
“Boy you do lead a hum drum life.”
“Gee thanks.”
“I was hoping you’d say he at least kissed you good night when he took you home. He did take you home last night, didn’t he?”
“Yes. He did. I was home by midnight. He walked me to the door and made sure I got inside before he left, but there was no kiss.”
Kimberly sighed. “Well. It’s a start.”
“No one said we had to rush it. We’re getting to know one another. We have a real easy going camaraderie and I like that. There is nothing worse than feeling awkward around a guy. With Alex I feel almost as if I’ve known him forever, yet we talk about the things people getting to know each other do.”
“Oh…that sounds so sweet. Maybe he’s the one, Sue. Wouldn’t that be great?”
“Yeah, but I’m not getting my hopes up or even thinking along those lines. It’s too soon.”
Her sister sighed again. “Well don’t play it too cool with him because you don’t want to lose him. He’s a hottie.”
“Kimberly! I’m going to tell Phil.”
“No you won’t. If you do I’ll tell Alex you think he’s gorgeous.”
Sue glared at her and it wasn’t long before giggling erupted from the driver’s seat. She joined in and couldn’t remember when she’d felt so giddy about the prospects of what could happen.
The gris-gris warmed around her neck and she closed her eyes , remembering how it had done the same as she danced slowly with Alex last night. When he held her in his arms it had made everything feel right in the world. He even knew a few moves that had surprised her and his ability to waltz was really good. But he said he’d never had a professional dance lesson in his life, whereas, she’d taken tap and ballet for a few years as a young girl.
“You got quiet. What are you thinking about?”
“Dancing. Have you and Phil picked out the song you’ll dance to at the reception?”
“We’ve narrowed it down to three possibilities, but you know Phil isn’ t much for dancing. He has agreed to one dance so I have to make it the best song for us.”
Kimberly pulled up in front of the dress shop and they got out. “I can’t wait to see each of you in your dresses today. Just one more reminder that the wedding is getting closer and closer. And there is still so much to do.” She touched Sue’s arm. “I know you are already doing my shower and personal shower, but I could really use your help getting a few of the details taken care of in the next few weeks. Do you think you’ll have the time?”
“Yes. Whatever you need. I’m at your disposal within reason.”
Her sister smiled and hugged her tight. “Thank you! I promise to stay within reason.”
The pristine coolness of the store always shocked Sue whenever she entered the dress shop. For the first time since her sister got engaged she didn’t dread being there. In fact, her eyes darted to the many racks of beaded and sequined white gowns that she had found so daunting when they’d began looking for Kimberly’s perfect dress last year. Now she found that these same racks were drawing her to them instead of repelling her. Yet she wouldn’t give in to the temptation to look through them. No. She was there to try on the cerulean blue gown that her sister picked out for the bridesmaids to wear. Nothing more.
