Chapter 5: Ariel

School stopped for so-called “Winter Break” in mid-December. I was still reminiscing about my Halloween fun. I recalled something from that day, and went to talk to Tara.

“Tara, when I was preparing for Halloween, Ariel saw me in that slinky dress, and without my mask. As your best friend, she has seen me a hundred times or more, here at home. I guess she has even seen me naked in the locker room.”

“Why are you telling me what I already know?”

“On Halloween, she asked me for a date. I’m thinking I might go for it. Would it bother you if I went out with Ariel?”

“Are you kidding? She has told me many times about how attracted to you she is. She told me several times you have the most exquisite ass in the entire high school. Call her now! Here, use my phone, Ariel is speed dial 2.”

“Ariel, hey, this is Nora, I’m on Tara’s phone. She said I should call you.”

“Oh, no, is there something wrong?”

“I hope not. I wanted to ask you for a date.”

“Really? YES! I can be there in ten minutes!”

“Ariel, darling, I’m new at this, as you know. Be gentle with me. I want to buy you dinner tomorrow night. Let’s wear some nice clothes. I’m hoping you won’t be embarrassed to be out with me, in public.”

“Nora, honey, I’ll come to your house at 6:00 tomorrow, all slicked up. On one condition: you must promise not to speak about your face. The entire night. Do this one thing for me and I will show you exactly how I think about you. Are we agreed?”

“I will do my best, Ariel. I want to have some fun with a hot date. Thank you, I’ll see you tomorrow at 6, Bye!”

Tara was literally bouncing, she was so excited. “MOM! Nora’s going on a date tomorrow! With Ariel!”

There was no doubt I would be back in my Halloween dress that Ariel liked so much. I wondered how she would be dressed when she arrived. At our house, she was always casual, t-shirt and jeans. Sometimes without a bra, which made for some fascinating bobbles of her big breasts when she moved.

In the afternoon, Mom did my makeup again (since I didn’t have any and wouldn’t know what to do with it). Again, I was braless and only wearing a G-string. Tara handed me a packet of wipes for my purse, grinning.

And then Mom really stunned me, she handed me a print from the internet. It was a room at the Ramada Inn reserved in my name for two people, late arrival. She was matter-of-fact: “That Ariel is so sexy and irresistible. It’s your first date, but you’ve known her for years. So, if the time is right, you girls have fun.”

“I don’t know what to say.”
