Chapter Seventeen: Date Night

Chapter Seventeen: Date Night

To say Gisele was surprised at Slate's demand, would be an understatement. It was completely unromantic to say unappealing. The asking did matter, but she didn't want to take any chances, so she agreed.

She decided then to call Lizzie because she knew next to nothing about dates. She had spent her whole life working that she had no inkling of the world that involved dates and parties.

"What's up, Gigi?", Lizzie asked as she picked up at the first ring.

"Lizzie, you need to help me. Slate and I are going out on a date, and I have nothing to wear."

Lizzie as per usual, heard nothing after the words 'Slate and I are going out on a date'.

"Whaaaaaaat, woman? And you didn't tell me?", she screeched.

"I just told you", Gisele murmured almost inaudibly.

"When?", Lizzie continued as if she never heard her.

"Tomorrow", Gisele said glumly, knowing how unnerved Lizzie would be.

"Tomorrow?!!", Lizzie screeched so high Gisele had to hold the phone away from her ear.

"Dammit woman, stop trying to burst my eardrums, I'll need them for tomorrow, you know", she replied, annoyed.

"Thank goodness I'm not such a dumbass and had the common sense to reserve a dress for this type of occasion. Okay tomorrow, I'll bring it, okay? And I'll take care of Callie", Lizzie replied, again ignoring Gisele once again.

"Thanks Liz, I don't know what I'd do without you", Gisele gushed.

"You'd die a virgin, obviously", she replied drily.

"I wove you Lizzie", Gisele said in a tone Callie would use.

"I love you too", Lizzie replied, laughing then hung up.

"Lizzie", Gisele whined, "why do you insist on torturing me?"

"Shut up and let me do your makeup and don't make me force you because you know as well as I that it won't be pretty", Lizzie said threateningly.

Gisele pouted.

"There, it's perfect, keep on pouting. Voila!! C'mon, you can look now", Lizzie said, smiling like she had just won the lottery.

And look Gisele did. She almost didn't recognize herself. She looked so pretty! Lizzie had gone for the natural look, and had left her hair down. She was wearing a dark blue dress with a floral print, and flat yellow sandals with straps around her ankles.

"Lizzie, thank you so much! I really don't believe this is me, right now!", Gisele said then hugged Lizzie. Lizzie returned the hug with as much enthusiasm as Gisele.

They were actually at Lizzie's house, and waiting for Slate. Soon enough, the doorbell rang. As Gisele was getting up to get it, Lizzie stopped her.

"Let me do it. I'm the pro, you know", she said, with a very suspicious smile on her face. After a while, Lizzie entered with Callie on her wake.
