When Liz heard the door, she was neck deep in bubbles. Sighing (and swearing), she pulled on a robe and ran downstairs. She opened the door, ready to refuse the offer for landscaping or magazine subscription.What she was not ready for was Niall.
"Where's your bodyguard?" she asked, half seriously.
"I assured him you were safe. I could take you if I had to"
"You wish" she answered, opening the door wider for him to come in. He had been here many times, so he knew his way to the living room but he didn't go beyond the front entrance way.
"Come in..." Liz said in an exaggerated fashion, bowing low and sweeping her arm to the rest of the house
"I actually don't have time." Niall said "I just want to know if you're free tonight."
"Niall, I'm sorry I blew up earlier. I guess I'm just..."
Niall raised his hand, interrupting "Just be ready at 7" he said. He let himself out and was almost in his car when Liz called from the front door
"Ready for what? Niall?" He didn't answer, but her phone chimed a text message alert.
"Just answer the door when it rings"
Liz sighed and went upstairs to let the water out of the tub. Well, at least I got my legs shaved. Shaving was something she had to get used to doing again, along with so many other things. Before she had time to think about what to wear the door bell rang. Liz went down in her robe, opening the door to a very handsome man with a suitcase and an iced coffee drink.
He walked right into her house, kissing her cheek as he passed. "Mint mocha frappachino, extra mint extra mocha." he said, handing her the drink. "Is the living room this way?"
Liz half- laughed at the surreal moment. "I take it you are part of my getting ready?"she asked, following him.
"Sweetie, by the time I am done with you your self-esteem will be bigger than Dolly Parton's hair, and you will look twice as good" he gushed "My name is Westley"
"And I am Buttercup" Liz said sarcastically
"As you wish" he answered, kissing her hand.
Liz couldn't resist keeping the schtick going a little longer. "Inconceivable!" she cried, clearing off the coffee table. Straightening back up, he began to unpack all the goodies from his case onto her coffee table. "Finally someone who gets it!" he sighed.
"Oh we are going to have some fun!" he declared.
