Bittersweet

Nine

My mother hasn't dated a single person since my dad left her for his secretary nor has she made the effort to. So when she told me she was going on a date and she needed my help to pick out an outfit, I was beyond surprised. I'm now standing in front of my mothers closet, hoping and praying that she has something cute. If I let her borrow something of mine I wont ever get it back. I search through each hanger until my eyes land on a black, respectable dress for a 36 year old women going on a date. I handed the dress to her so she could put it on. Once she got the straps over her shoulders I zipped her up. Its only then I realize just how beautiful the dress is, and how beautiful she looks in it. Because of the black material, her light brown eyes pop and look a bit darker. The dress is about knee length, and the fabric clings to her body, making her look sexy but in a respectable older gal way. I handed her a pair of my black stilettos and she was on her way. Obviously not before she talked to me. "I will probably be back fairly late, therefore if you and Danny go out lock the door. If you and Danny don't go out, still lock the door." "okay mom, I promise. Now, your date is down there waiting for you." she gives me a forehead kiss. "Do I look okay, love?" "beyond stunning, bye mom" she then leaves. I go down behind her. Ya know, so I could meet the boyfriend and shizz. He's a tall, but handsome man. Not to slim, but not to muscular. He had dark brown eyes, that seemed to have matched the color of his hair. Better yet, he looked great with my mom. Danny was sitting on the couch, but I just chose to ignore him for now. I reach my hand out for my moms date to shake. "Hi! I'm Elizabeth, the daughter. You may call me Liz or Lizzy if you please" "Well, hello Liz. You look just like your gorgeous mother here. I'm Cole. Really nice to meet you." "Why thank you, Cole. I love when people tell me I look like my mother. Have her back by 12 please and you crazy kids have a good ole time, ya hear?" I earn a laugh on this one. I laughed as well. They are now on there way. Leaving me with Danny. I have decided since I am alone with him, now would be a good time to talk to him about the conversation Tyler and I had. "Soo, I take it you are responsible for your moms beauty tonight?" This wasn't really a question, just a fact. He knew my mother well enough to know she couldn't have looked that way on her own, and he knows me well enough to know id do just about anything to help her. Unless she told me to make her look like some crazy hooker. "Yuppers" I laugh. After a while of silence and contemplating how I should go about this conversation, I finally get the guts to say the words leading into the conversation. "So, we need to talk about something" its then I realize we both had said the same thing at the exact same time, now I'm wondering what he could possibly want to talk to me about.____________________________________________________________________________
