Something Extraordinary

Chapter 29

"You look great, you don't need to change." Cassandra followed Rachel to the bedroom.

"Thank you." But Rachel didn't look like Cassandra had convinced her. "Where are we going?"

"My mother chose the restaurant, it's a French place. I can never remember the name, but it's nice." Rachel took her phone and called someone. "Hey, it's me...yes...everything's okay Kurt... We're going out. I just called to ask you a favor...can't tell...exactly!... I think the white one...okay. And Kurt?...Thank you so much! See you."

"So, what was that about?"

"How nice is this place?"

"Nice nice? What kind of question is this?"

"Is it jeans nice? Are your father and brothers going to wear suits?"

"Yes, why?"

"So, I should not wear jeans."

"Well, you look beautiful to me no matter what, but when I have something to say on that matter-" Cassandra slowly walked towards Rachel and wrapped her arms around Rachel's waist.

"Yea, well, I have to wear something. When do we need to be there?"

"They meet at 5.30, but we will be there at six."

"Why are we on purpose late?"

"Just because."

"I won't be late and I'll take a cab if you're going to be late."

"So you're going to meet my family without me?"

"I won't be late." Rachel frowned. She tried to make a point.

"They'll know something's up, I always come a few minutes later."

"You still can." Rachel gave her a quick kiss. "Can I take a shower?"

"Can I come with you?"

"No."

"Why, aren't we in a kind mood today."

"Maybe we can shower together after you've been at the restaurant on time."

"That's blackmail."

"I don't care as long as I am on time and hopefully not alone."

"You could have tried to be nice and make me come with you."

"Yea, that's not my style and besides I think satisfaction is a good leverage."

"Cocky, aren't we?"

"Maybe." She put a sly smile on and smoothly freed herself from Cassandra's embrace and left to her bedroom. Cassandra just stood in the middle of her living room. Cassandra decided to just wait in the living room. Thankfully the doorbell rang; Cassandra walked over, opened the door and waited on the couch for Kurt.

It knocked on the door before Kurt appeared in the doorframe.

"Hey, can I come in."

"No, I always open the door so people can stay outside."

"Okay." He walked inside and closed the door behind him. "So, where're you guys going?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Rachel asked me to bring this over." He raised one of the boxes from Rachel's room, Cassandra remembered that in at least one of them was a beautiful dress.

"Kurt!" They both turned around, neither of them had heard Rachel come into the room, but she obviously just got out of the shower. She had a towel wrapped around her hair and was only in her undergarment. "Thank you so much!"
