Pat’s Exhausting Shopping Day
Steve wasn’t up yet allowing me to enjoy these few precious moments alone. The fresh coffee tasted wonderful as I mentally reviewed my plans for the day. From time to time I need to get out of the house on my own and today was going to be one of those days.
Steve and I had been invited to a party this weekend which gave me the perfect excuse to take a trip to town to look for a new dress. Smiling, I added new shoes that matched the dress to my list. A new dress and shoes were my priority for the day but, after that, I wasn’t the least bit averse to checking out any store that I found interesting.
It was likely that I would still be out around lunchtime so I anticipated stopping somewhere for lunch. There were a couple of new restaurants that I was considering but, I would wait until later to make my choice. My lunch plans would be dictated by where I was when the urge to eat overwhelmed my shopping desires. All in all, I was looking forward to a fun, relaxing day.
My husband Steve walked into the kitchen just as I finished my second cup of coffee. I love the way he looks in the morning. His hair was disheveled and he was wearing just his pajama bottoms. His bare feet slapped on the floor as he stepped up to the kitchen counter and poured himself a cup of coffee.
As he raised his cup to his lips, he looked over the rim and gave me a thorough once-over. “What are you all dressed up for?”
A hint of frustration entered my voice as I responded, “Steve, I told you last night that I was going shopping today. I need a new dress and shoes for the party on Saturday. I don’t know why I bother telling you things since you never listen to what I say.”
“I heard you. I’m just not convinced that you need a new dress. Have you looked in your closet lately? You don’t need to go shopping. You look beautiful, sexy, and desirable no matter what you’re wearing. Hell, you don’t even need clothes to look good, so why in the world do you need more? Your closet is full now.”
Steve had a ritual and we had to go through it every time I wanted to buy a new outfit. My husband felt obligated to object every time, so I simply smiled and let him vent. We both knew that I was going shopping no matter what he said but he felt the need to rant a little so I continued to smile and humor him.
“Have you bothered to take a look in the mirror? You’re going shopping wearing a strapless red dress I’ve never seen before. I bet this is the first time you’ve ever worn that dress. Why in the world do you need another dress? You could wear that little number this weekend and all the women would be jealous and the men would be tripping over their tongues.”
“Of course you’re right sweetheart. You usually are, but I know you want me to outshine all those other women. Besides, I could use a little time to myself. Pretend that I’m going golfing like you do. My new dress and shoes probably won’t cost as much as the fees you pay when you and the guys take off for the day.”
“Well, since you put it that way.” he said, “Maybe I’ll call one of my friends and see if we can get a tee time at the new golf club.” He leaned in and kissed my cheek he said, “Have fun.”
Heading for the door before he could change his mind, I smiled back at him, “I should be home before dinner.”
I was thankful that this wasn’t a school day which meant that most soccer moms would stay close to home. As a result, I didn’t have much trouble finding a parking spot near where I wanted to shop.
My first stop was a little dress shop I had frequented several times before. A salesperson greeted me as I walked in the door and offered to assist me. I declined her help, preferring to search the racks myself. I only found one dress that interested me but when I tried it on it didn’t make me feel special so I reluctantly left it with the lady in charge of the changing room.
I enjoyed the walk to the next store. It was a lovely day today, the sun was shining and the temperature was mild and pleasant.
My second stop was more encouraging. I found three dresses that I liked but only one that I thought looked good on me. My spirits lifted knowing I could be happy with this dress, but I decided to go to a new shop that I had heard about but never visited. If I didn’t find anything better I would return and get this dress. The salesperson was very helpful and agreed to hold the dress for the rest of the day.
I almost changed my mind when I saw the third shop. A friend had suggested the store but it didn’t look too promising. I considered leaving but, I trusted my friend so, I put my first impressions aside and entered the store.
The store was unlike any store I had ever patronized before. It was small and cramped, with so many racks of clothing stuffed inside that you could hardly move around. In a word, it was “wonderful”.
I must have wandered those cramped aisles for an hour before I saw what I had been looking for. I’d never owned a dress that shade of blue before but, when I put it on it made me glow. It fit perfectly and I knew it was exactly what I had been looking for.
I was so pleased with the new dress that I floated out of the store on a cloud of expectations knowing that I would be successful in my hunt for the perfect pair of shoes. How could I fail?
Feeling the first pangs of hunger, I began to look for a place to eat.
This morning it had been cool when I left the house, but now the bright sun had warmed things up considerably. Thankfully, the store where I bought my lovely blue dress was willing to deliver it so I wasn’t forced to carry any bags with me as I looked for a place to eat.
A few minutes later I stumbled across a new restaurant that had just opened. On a high because of my successful hunt for a new dress, I was more than willing to take a chance. The dark cool atmosphere inside was a pleasant change from the rising temperature outside. A young lady met me just inside the door and guided me to a seat at a small table for two.
It took a few moments for my eyes to adjust to the cool shadows inside. While I waited, I perused the menu. After finding something that I liked, I took time to look around. It was a small place with only five small two and four-seat tables and three booths along one wall next to a waitress station.
It only took a few moments to examine the small space. Soon afterward, the waitress arrived and asked what I wanted to drink. While she was there I gave her my complete order for an unsweetened iced tea, half a ham sandwich, and a cup of cream of potato soup.
I resumed looking around the restaurant now that I had more time and wondered if I might have made a bad decision to come here. It was just after noon and there were only a few other customers. The place certainly wasn’t alive with activity. There were only two customers, a couple across the room and a single black man sitting just a few tables away from mine.
As I waited for my food to be prepared I realized that the black man was staring at me. His attention had already made me a little uncomfortable, and I became more concerned when I watched him arise and walk toward my table. As he approached my table, he stared intently down at me and asked, “Don’t I know you?”
When I looked up, I took a moment to study him. I noticed that he was handsome and muscular, but not overdone. Judging from his looming presence, I assumed he must be over six feet tall. The overall effect was quite pleasing.
“I don’t think so,” I replied.
“I’m almost sure I’ve seen you someplace before.”
“I don’t mean to seem rude, but I’m pretty sure I would remember if I had met you before.” He was making me nervous.
Shaking his head, he turned towards his table, but stopped, turned back to me, and said, “It’ll come to me.”
A moment later my waitress arrived with my meal. The food was good but I wasn’t enjoying it because of my encounter with the stranger who continued to glance at me. I was relieved when he finally rose, paid his bill, and left without looking my way.
With the disturbing stranger gone, I relaxed and enjoyed the rest of my meal. Even so, something about him had set my nerves on edge.
If you don’t already know, I am one of those white women who get aroused at the thought of having sex with black men, but I much prefer a more controlled situation. Meeting them on the street when I am alone or away from home generally makes me very nervous, and this was no exception.
The soup and sandwich had been surprisingly good and now, feeling more relaxed, I paid my bill and left a generous tip for the waitress. Slinging my purse over my left shoulder, I abandoned the cool comfort of the restaurant to return to a day that had turned even warmer.
