A recovering alcoholic and a man that will do anything to get a date with her.
This is the story of a fifth grade teacher and her complicated life and the man that comes into it, making it even more complicated. Benedict meets Cassie and wants to k...
"I don't know," Cassie said as she looked at herself in her body length dress in the mirror. It was beautiful (the most beautiful she'll ever own), but it seemed a little too much. It was thin and all white, nothing sparkly or showy, but again...it seemed a little much.
In her eyes.
"Cass, babe," Anna told her, "he said he is wearing a goddamn three-piece suit. Who does that nowadays? Roger hardly owns a two-piece suit. You look beautiful and if his jaw doesn't drop, I will rugby tackle him again. Understood?"
Cassie laughed and nodded. She does look beautiful, especially with the way Anna put up her hair in a fancy bun and did her make-up; not too much, not too dark either. She normally hated doing this, which is why she made one acceptation with Anna; since no one can see her feet, she can wear any shoes she wants.
She chose her white converse.
The doorbell rang, causing Cassie to jump. "I feel like I'm going to my prom," she giggled. Anna giggled with her and said, "Yeah, but this time with the best guy you can ever have. Do me a favor and please have fun tonight?"
Cassie snickered and told her, "I will." Anna gave her a hug. "And let me know if you're not coming home tonight so I can tell your mother," Anna said. Cassie snorted and rolled her eyes. She pulled back from the hug, then started walking downstairs with Anna behind her.
Once they got to the door, Anna opened it.

"Wow," Cassie breathed as soon as she saw Ben. She's never seen him so dapper before. He was so sexy, too, she thought her knees were going to buckle underneath her. Ben nearly had the same reaction to her.
His jaw dropped. He's seen her in a dress before, but never thought he'd see her in this kind of dress. She was drop dead gorgeous in his eyes and he thought he was going to swoon on the spot.
"Wha--...um--...I--...wow," was all he could get out. He looked her all up and down and couldn't help the growing smile on his face. He took a step inside the house and held his hand out to her. She gently placed her hand in his and he bent down, bringing her hand to his lips.
He looked up at her with his magnificent eyes and smiled. "I have never seen anything more beautiful in all my life," he told her. "I can't believe you're my date." Cassie felt herself blush crimson red. He stood back up and tugged her to him.
With one hand still in hers and another on her back, he went to lean down and kiss her. "Ah, ah, ah!" Anna said as she tried to separate them. "That make-up took forever, so you will not mess it up right now!"
Ben pouted, but then placed a long kiss on Cassie's cheek instead. Anna seemed more content with that. "We should probably get going, then," Ben said as he laced his and Cassie's fingers together. "All set?"
She nodded and told him, "Yeah. Let's go." He smiled adoringly at her, then looked to Anna. "I'll try to return her at a decent hour." Anna crossed her arms and quirked an eyebrow. "Mmm-hmm," she said as she leaned against the doorway and watched them walk to his car.
