She puts my number in her phone and walks away. Her ass in those jeans is phenomenal. I can’t wait to sink my teeth into it.

What the fuck just happened? Why in the world did Adler just ask me to dinner? I look around as I’m walking down the sidewalk; the city going crazy around me, and still it’s not sinking in. My whole body is on fire and somehow I have a date with a hot older man tonight. My prayers have been answered! I skip down the sidewalk, taking sips of my bougie coffee along the way, and. I can’t wait to tell Sophie. She is going to flip. We have had so many conversations over wine about how immature men are around our age and how it makes sense to want someone older. Of course, I don’t know how old he is, but I would guess around forty- three. The man does well for himself if he works in that building.
I didn’t just see Adler once, but three times in one day. How does that make sense? How can I be so damn lucky?
I rush up into the apartment lobby to the elevator where I have flashbacks of this morning. His eyes locked on my body. God, I hope he takes me home tonight. Or maybe he is one of those men who doesn’t sleep around on the first date. Hmm... who is Adler? I’ll get my questions answered tonight, but the anticipation is already killing me. When the elevator doors open, I sprint the hallway to our apartment, put my key in, and open the door.
“Sophie?” I yell, wondering if she is home from work yet. Please be here! I can’t keep this in for another hour or two. I’m going to combust!
She strolls out of her bedroom wearing a pair of pink sweatpants and a t-shirt. “What in the world is going on?”
Sophie sits down on the couch, clutching a pillow to her stomach, while I spit out everything that happened with Adler today. She is laughing about the elevator and then when I get to the coffee shop, her eyes bulge out of her head.
“Wait? All you are telling me is i have to forget my debit card, let a hot man pay for my drink and then he’ll ask me out? Fuck, I’ve been doing it wrong this whole time...”
“Come on, be serious. I do not know what I’m going to wear or why he even asked me? The man has to make hella good money from the looks of his suit and car... so I mean, it’s not like the doesn’t have a vast array of options in this city.”
“Girl, don’t let this man kick your confidence. You are fucking hot, a catch, and any man that gets even a minute of your turn is lucky as hell. You have to remember that. Not all men like those skinny mini’s.”
I’m definitely not a skinny mini. Well, I wouldn’t consider myself fat, but I have some of a stomach. Sophie is built like me, so we try to vibe check each other when we aren’t giving ourselves enough credit. “You’re right. He’s lucky I said yes.”
She smiles big. “See, there’s my girl. Get that confidence up because it’s attractive. Plus, who knows, maybe this is your one. I mean, if we are basing it off of romantic comedies we see on the TV, then you have to have a crazy meet cute to tell your grandchildren. I’d say what happened today is definitely crazy.”
I take the last sip of my coffee, knowing Sophie is just trying to get me in the right headspace for the date tonight. I work hard to build my self-confidence and it’s paid off. Tonight I have a date with Adler, and I am going to make the most of it.
“Let’s get some wine poured and get this party started. My girl’s got a date,” Sophie says, grabbing the wine and two glasses.
The problem is I don’t have the money to go and buy a new dress for tonight, so something in my closet is going to have to work, and if anyone can help me pick out a dress, it’s Sophie. She is the one that dresses a bit on the provocative side.
We rummage through my closet to find the perfect dress. I want it to scream ‘fuck me’. Sophie runs her fingers along the hung up dresses, looking for what she thinks will best suit me.
“What do you think of this one?” Sophie asks, holding up a red dress. It has a plunging neckline that comes down to my belly button, and at the time when I bought it, I didn’t have as much meat in the middle as I do now.
“It’s nice,” I say, “but it’s a bit too much for a first date. How about this one?” I gesture toward a black dress with long sleeves.
Sophie smiles and shakes her head. “No, I don’t think that’s quite the right look for tonight. You want something special, but also easy to take off. That reminds me of a funeral dress.”
I might be shit out of luck here. With the time of our date approaching, I’m getting nervous. Plus, my hair isn’t done, no make up on yet.
I step closer and run my hand along the different materials. “What about this one?” I say, holding up a green dress.
Sophie’s eyes light up. “That’s it!”
I slip it on, turning from side to side to get a better view.
“Oh, that’s perfect,” Sophie says.
It’s tight enough that it shows off my curves, but doesn’t have a plunging neckline. However, it has a slit up the side, which means I can’t wear underwear tonight.
Sophie smiles and steps behind me. “That man won’t be able to keep his eyes off of you tonight.”
That’s kind of what I’m hoping for.
