Would You Escort Me To Dinner? (GxG)

Chapter 3

   Thursday crept up on me quicker than I would've liked.

   But, nevertheless, I stood in front of the bathroom mirror, making sure my look was perfect. Tonight had to go smoothly, or Mrs. Abernathy would most likely fire me.

   I took in a calming breath before pulling out my phone.

   "She's late, of course she's late." I said to myself before typing up a text message to Katrina.

   A few quick knocks on the door stopped me before I could finish the message.

   I hesitantly made my way to the door, cramming my phone in my purse.

   With a slow breath, I plastered a smile on my face and pulled the door open, only to see Luna and Todd standing on the other side.

   "Sorry we're late." Luna said.

   "No problem, I'm still waiting on Katrina, why don't you guys come on in?"

   They shuffled through the door and Todd quickly looked around. "You have a bathroom in this place?" He asked.

   "Yes, why wouldn't I?"

   He just nodded before walking off in search of the bathroom.

   Luna sat down on the couch and I sat next to her.

   "Please tell me he's not doing drugs in my bathroom."

   She shrugged. "Ok, he's not."

   I sighed before another knock rang out from the door.

   I nervously got to my feet. "I guess that's her."

   With a long breath, I opened the door. "You're lat-" I cut myself short.

   Katrina stood in front of me, wearing a long, deep cut, red dress with sparkly red heels. Her hair cascaded over her shoulders like long blonde waves. And, her whole ensemble was complemented very nicely with dark red lipstick and black eye shadow.

   "... U-um... wow... y-you look-"

   "Fantastic, I know." She cut off with a smirk.

   Before I could even get a word out, Todd re-entered the room.

   "Damn, who's the babe?" He asked.

   I quickly spun on him, ready to beat the shit out of him... well, verbally, but Katrina walked out in front of me, hand raised in his direction.

   "Katrina Banner, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr..?"

   Todd smiled, taking her hand in his and bringing it up to his lips for a quick pec. "Bowman, Todd Bowman."

   She let out a flirtatious giggle. "Well, I must say Mr. Bowman, you weren't what I was expecting at all... you're far more handsome then Shelby let on."

   I quickly linked my arm with Katrina's. "Right, well, now that we're all acquainted, let's get this show on the road."

   Todd waved his fingers at Katrina as I pulled her towards door, she turned back to blow a kiss his way before we made it into the hallway.

   I stopped a few doors down and turned on her, whispering furiously. "Jesus, what the hells wrong with you?"

   She rolled her eyes. "I'm doing what you said."

   "I didn't tell you to flirt with him, you're supposed to be my date."

   She shrugged. "You said to be nice and make everyone happy, that's exactly what I'm doing."
