My name is Alice; I'm currently a 21 year old Airman in the Air Force, stationed at Holloman Air Force Base in Minot, North Dakota. February of last year; the day before Valentines Day the snow covered the flat country like a bridal veil, the frosty temperatures kept people corralled inside. The day before Valentines Day, my room mate Stacey drove us cautiously through hazardous road conditions into downtown Minot. The cozy mall had a movie theater tucked away inside, and a movie was the perfect way for us to pass an otherwise uneventful evening. Stomping clinging snow off of our shoes at the entrance, we hurried into the warmth and potpourri of scents offered by the food court. We shed our coats and looked around. The mall was brimming with shoppers, a lot of whom were purchasing last moment Valentine gifts. Teddy bears, chocolates, and long stemmed red roses paraded past us in arms of men determined to make good on the nostalgic day representing all that is romantic. I scowled, thinking of my former boyfriend who had broken up with me before Thanksgiving, claiming the fault was with me because I didn't like myself. I didn't like myself? At least I didn't have to drink myself into a stupor each weekend and fuck the first piece of ass to walk by me!
"Alice!" said Stacy, rather sharply. Stacy had known me since Christmas, and knew I spent stolen moments brooding over my ex-boyfriend. Stacy pointed where we could get some coffee and we both pivoted in the direction of her finger. We were early for a show and didn't even know what we wanted to see, not that it mattered. Any diversion was welcome. We sat at a tiny table, drinking our coffee, discussing our families back home and the latest office gossip. Two young airmen passed us, both rubber necking to see us on their way out of the mall. Stacy and I look so similar in our appearance, we passed for sisters, and if dressed alike, as twins. We wore our sleek brown hair in classic bobs, had dark brown eyes and bee stung lips. Our body types were the same, 32 B cup size with tiny waists and apple shaped bottoms. Only I had a smattering of brown freckles across my creamy white complexion, but make-up hid them easily enough. Without each other, we were average. Together, we got noticed.
Lanky and
severely
blond were the adjectives that first invaded my mind when I saw the Sorenson brothers for the first time. Stacy was mid sip when she spotted them swagger into the mall, both wearing thin black shirts and worn, faded denim jackets. Platinum blond air spilled out from underneath mesh, green John Deere ball caps in half curled wisps, reaching the nape of their lovely long neck. Their skin was flawless alabaster and I wasn't certain they even shaved! They looked like underwear models for Calvin Klein, twin angels with their sculpted face and noble roman noses.
Stacy still held her cup of coffee in the air, absorbing the boys as they walked right past our table, both grinning to reveal crooked, but very white teeth. It only made them more perfect. I noted their large hands were weathered, red and raw. Farmers, they had to be farmers! The impressive pair sat at a table across from us, and an exchange of nervous smiles, glances and giggles ensued. My hands grasp my half full coffee cup and a slight tremor of excitement rippled through the liquid content, serving as reflection of the excitement stirring between my legs.
"I'm Clive, and this is Harris." said a voice over my head. I didn't even see them stand up, and how they stood! Easily at six foot with long denim covered legs up to their armpits.
"I'm Alice and this is Stacey" I responded, swallowing hard and turning to Stacey, at a loss for anything else to say.
"Are you twins?" asked Clive, their matching aquamarine eyes skimmed over the both of us, we were struck quiet by these purposeful and intense gazes.
"Yes" we lied. The dynamic duo informed us they were going to Target to buy a wedding present, and shocked us with a request that we be their dates to the wedding. A Valentine's Day wedding! Stacey and I accepted. Harris scribbled the address of the church on a napkin before the two continued on out of the food court and headed to Target.
Tossing our coffee, Stacey and I made a mad run at J.C. Penny. At Penny's we bought evening gowns, midnight black garters, black hosiery, high heeled shoes and the hottest colors in cosmetics. We returned to the base, waiting for the following evening to arrive so we could shave, moisturize, perfume and pamper ourselves to perfection. I carefully pulled on my stockings, attaching them to the tiny silver metal and black rubber clamps of my garter belt. Matching sleeveless crimson gowns flattered our petite figures, the hems pooling around our silky hose covered ankles like flowing blood, until we slipped on our velvet and rhinestone three-inch heeled shoes. Enveloping our sexy ensembles into our heavy coats, we grabbed our matching velvet and rhinestone evening clutch purses, and left for a wedding!
