Daneeka laid in bed for what seemed like an eternity, staring at the ceiling, wild thoughts flowing her head. When she looked over at the alarm clock, she realized over an hour had passed. The day was passing by quickly, it was almost 1 in the afternoon and she knew she had a lot to get done before her date in the evening. She smiled at the thought "Was this a date? Yes most definitely." she decided, "and a lot nicer than most dates I've been on." Daneeka stood in front of the mirror, topless but still wearing her panties and realized she was in dire need of a shave or better yet a wax but sadly she could not afford one. With a sigh she grabbed her trusted Gillette Venus, a bottle of shaving cream and headed for the bathroom. Within a few minutes her bath was ready and she climbed in slowly into the hot water, immersing herself up to her neck. "I could stay like this forever" she thought to herself but knew what she had to do. She slowly shaved her legs and even more so when it came to shaving her kitty before letting the water drain and taking a much needed shower. When she was finally done and dried off, she stood nude in front of her closet, admiring herself in the mirror. Daneeka found herself running her fingers across her bare, puffy lips. She remembered how much she liked being bald "down there" and smiled at the thought of someone other than herself finally appreciating it.
After getting dressed, Daneeka spent the rest of the day running errands. Even though she didn't have her rugrats that day, she was still a mother and was woefully behind on some things like getting kids' supplies for the next school year. Before she knew it, her cellphone beeped reminding her that it was 6 o'clock. Daneeka quickly put away the remaining groceries and went into the bedroom to finish getting ready. On the bed lay the getup she prepared the night before, a black lacy thong with a matching bra and a black dress. She quickly stripped and put on the outfit before taking a look at herself as she was ready to walk out of the room. Daneeka could hardly recognize herself, she could not remember the last time she spent this much time getting ready for anything but then again when was the last time she was looking forward to something as much as this evening? Again she felt a pang of guilt, she knew what she was doing would not sit well with a lot of people. This wouldn't be the last time she would get that feeling in her chest that slowly travelled to her stomach. "It's too late," she thought "I already made a commitment and I do not break my word." With that thought she left her house, locking the door behind her and got in her car.
The drive was fairly uneventful and she got to the cafรฉ a few minutes before 7. She prided herself on her promptness and this was going to be no different. As she got out of the car, she was reminded again of the clientele that frequented this establishment. There were BMWs, Audis, a Bentley, etc. All latest models while she was cruising around in her Nissan Altima from a couple decades ago. "No matter," she thought "my time will come as well." Holding her head up high she walked into the cafรฉ where she was greeted by the Maรฎtre D', who had a smug but a surprised look on his face.
"Terribly sorry ma'am, but we currently do not have any openings." He squeezed through his polished white teeth. "But if you would like to leave your resume, I will be sure to pass it on."
At first Daneeka was taken by surprise and thought about laying into this little, snide man but then she decided to take the high road and simply replied
"I will be sure to keep that in mind, but if you don't mind doing your job I am here to meet my date. Ah I think I see him."
She realized Andrew was sitting a few tables over and was watching this interaction with a smile on his face. She figured he enjoyed a little spitfire in his women, he was after all dating her auntie and she could be a handful at times. As she approached the table, Andrew stood up and pulled the chair next to him out for her.
"I heard you were a gentleman." she said smiling as she sat down.
"I hope you feel the same way by the end of the night." Andrew said, returning the smile. "I'm glad you decided to join me tonight and appreciate your promptness. I have taken the liberty of ordering us a nice bottle of Chianti, do have some."
Daneeka found herself reaching for the glass automatically as if obeying without fully realizing why. She has only tasted wine a couple times and both times she was quite sure it was the $4.99 bottle from the local grocery store. The taste was rich and she found herself trying to identify the flavors swirling around her tongue.
"Do not gulp it Daneeka. Savor it. Enjoy the taste."
