Continues...

Fantasia got her rest after texting her daughter about her clothes.
Looks like she had to do some shopping because her bags were still at her ex's.
Will she have anything to wear for her date?
Will see...

Caren came home later on, they got along fine. They talked all night long, laughing and gossiping...
"Look at the time; I have an early shift. I should go to sleep. It is nice to have you around, roomy," Caren said, getting up.
"I should sleep too; I have early plans," Fantasia said, checking the time.
"Plans? I hope is not a job. You need a few days to rest and know your body before jumping into a job. Plus Doctor Henson would get off your case this time if you don't listen. You are on a short leash." Caren said.
"No, I have a date, by the beach. I don't even have clothes. I don't know what I'm gonna wear; what would you wear to a date by the beach?" Fantasia asked looking up at her.
"uh... Maybe Shorts, bathing suit, anything of that sort, well anything depends on the date plan," Caren said.

"A walk on the beach, maybe chill on the sand for a while and come back?"
"Okay, I mean if you are that kind of a lady, the man will understand. But usually, ladies get hungry and want more romance. But I understand you. You are a simple girl."

"Actually I'm going out with a lady. A classy lady, I asked her out, I don't have a game plan. I just told her is a walk on the beach date cause I'm still getting my finances in place"
"Hmmm. A girl on girl. How about you take my picnic basket? Fill it with fruits and snacks, open my wine cabinet, and pick a bottle and two glasses. Keep it romantic yet simple."

"Thank you so much!".
"You welcome. Good night" Caren walked to the stairs. "Red or white?" Fantasia asked. "What do you think they like?"
"I think Red, but you should know."
"I know what your date prefers. What?"
"Yes, she's a friend of yours"
Caren's eyes grew out of her face. "Taraji? Whoa what? And she knows this is a date? She said yes. Whoa!"
Caren was shocked.

"yes. Why are you shocked?"
"I didn't know she was into women. And you are not her type, no offense. She usually dates millionaires and rich guys and she was married to a wealthy man"
Fantasia swallowed hard. "Why did I think I was such a big shot and Taraji would go out with me? What was I thinking? I should call and cancel," Fantasia said, picking up her phone. Caren ran towards her and snatched the phone.
"No, no, no. You are going to forget what I said," Caren said.
"It is true. She's way out of my league."
"boy is she! But forget about it, you like her?"
"I'm crazy about her, I've never felt like this about anyone before, man or woman. I can't stop thinking about her. I like her a lot"

"And guess what? She must like you because she said yes. She agreed to go on a date with you. And I know so many people have been asking her out, and she turned them down. So she likes you back. I might not know why, and I may not understand why, but she does. My advice is to be honest with her. Never bail. She tends to put people on probation and on time out, or a short leash. And if you are on those, she won't give you a time of day. Spend her time right and she will return the favour. She's an amazing woman."

Fantasia nodded., "Thank you for the advice"
"And oh, take champagne. She loves champagne. Mix fruits, preferably strawberries and cherries with gra,pes and take a piece of my home made chocolate cake from the refrigerator. She will love you for it. Have a nice morning."
"Thank you again." Caren nodded and finally went to bed.

In the morning
Fantasia woke up at 6.
Caren was leaving for work. She showered confidently and used her cheap perfume. Prepared for the picnic. She went outside, where she saw red roses growing in the next-door neighbor's yard.

There was a lady there watering the roses.
"Morning. Your roses are amazing." she told the woman watering them. "Thank you. Would you like one?"
"Yes, please. I have a date, it will come in handy"
