Recent Post: THE BIG SWALLOW THEBIGSWALLOW headed down the hall to her room to get changed Danielle whispered to me, "Jimmy, why don't you take my Mom out tonight? I know she would appreciate it. I'm sure she is hurt that Rick stood her up. Besides, I had planned on spending some "alone time" with Stephen tonight."
My first thought was "Fuck no!" Why would I get her Mom out of the house so she could stay home and fuck that scumbag who hadn't said one word since he walked in the door? It occurred to me that my chances of getting with Danielle were now somewhere around zero and negative. I also felt bad for Diane. Being stood up like that must have really sucked for her.
"Diane," I called. "Don't get changed. I'll take you out tonight."
"You will?" she called back to me from down the hall. "Honey, that's so sweet."
"I just need to run home and change. I'll be back in about half an hour," I called back.
"That's fine. I'll be ready when you get back."
Danielle thanked me as I put my coat on to head out. Much to my surprise Stephen shook my hand and thanked me, too. I backed my truck out of the driveway and headed home. I picked out my favorite club clothes. I was really starting to like the idea of taking Diane out. I had never been out with an older crowd and I figured it would be fun to see how "the other half" partied. On my way back to Danielle's I saw a flower vendor on a street corner. I thought flowers would be a nice gesture and would raise Diane's spirits so I picked her up a dozen roses. When I got back to the house she was delighted with roses. At this point, I really wanted to give Diane a fun night out. She was a very sweet lady. Danielle wished us a good time and mouthed the words "thank you" to me as we walked out the door.
