"Why doesn't he like me?" I sighed, staring at myself in the mirror.
My black dress hung closely to my curves and, unfortunately, was going to go to waste. I had been stood up by the same guy, again. Freakin' Jeremy Rogers can't even show up for ten minutes or call to tell me he won't be showing! I huffed as I unzipped my dress and stared at the brand new pink panty and bra set I had bought for this date. For a mom I looked pretty good, if I do say so myself.
My stomach was flat and my C-cup boobs weren't sagging. Plus, once a week I went in for a waxing so there weren't any prickling hairs...anywhere. I pulled my hair up from my neck and twisted to and fro, checking my body out in the mirror. Maybe that's why he didn't come; maybe I'm not attractive enough.
I dropped my brunette, almost black hair and reached behind me to unsnap my bra when I heard an audible gulp. I whirled around, almost losing my balance on my four inch red heels that matched my dress, to see my daughter's boyfriend standing there with a deer in the headlights expression.
"Michael!" I cried.
"Ms. D! I'm...I'm so sorry!" he quickly turned around, still standing in the doorway.
"What are you doing here? Kyra isn't here!" I exclaimed, struggling to pull my dress back on.
"I-I didn't know, I'm so sorry, please don't tell Kyra!" he urged, starting to turn around but I quickly snapped, "Stay facing away!"
I tugged at my zipper until I realized it was stuck. I pinched the bridge of my nose before sighing, "Michael, the zipper is stuck."
He turned around hesitantly and eyed me. My dress was half hanging off my body as I held it up barely with my hands behind my back. He nervously licked his lips and asked, "Do you want my help?"
"Yes," I rolled my eyes. He stepped into my room haltingly and walked over to me. I turned around and let go of the dress to pull my hair up. I had to maneuver my ass (stick it out) to keep it from falling off again.
His hands were warm when they touched the revealed skin of my back. He twisted the fabric in his hands and he gently pulled the zipper down. I frowned and muttered, "Wrong way."
"Where were you going all dressed up?" he inquired, pulling the zipper down farther.
Something in Michael's voice made me say, "On a date, but he stood me up."
"I'd never stand up a woman as beautiful as you," he blurted.
A glance up in the mirror showed he was blushing. We made eye contact in the mirror, his hands still poised above the zipper on my lower back. I bit my lip lightly and his eyes flicked down to the movement. He moved his hands from my back to around to my stomach, pulling me back against his chest. I dropped my hair and he began kissing and licking my neck.
I quickly wrapped my hands around his neck, relishing in the feel. It was a few moments before I remembered what was going on. "Michael!" I hissed. "What about Kyra!"
He stopped and groaned against my neck. "Ms. D," he breathed in my ear, hungrily.
I melted just a bit more. His hands slid from my stomach down to my thighs. "She doesn't have to know," he reassured.
"But...we'll know," I protested weakly as his hands slid up my thighs, bunching the silk dress in his hands.
"It'll be our little secret," he breathed hotly in my ear.
