"I wish Jon had to experience it all, like girls do," she said. "Maybe then he'll understand what it means." The stone grew warm in her hand and for a moment she wondered why, but that moment passed.
Meanwhile, Jon had made it to the mall. As he wandered about, he passed a store filled with prom dresses. He stopped and stared.
The window had several different styles, some with short skirts, some of longer fabric that reached the floor. So many different colors. All designed to accent the best parts and hide the ones they don't want to show.
He thought of the time and energy spent on getting ready, making decisions, on worrying about everything. It seemed so exhausting....and maybe a little fun?
He had only take a step forward when someone came bursting out of the door.
She stood taller than him, and probably was even without the four inch heels she wore. Long wavy curled down her shoulders in a black cascade. The hair framed a well made up, but rather young face. She probably was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in person. And she was looking right at him!
"Hi," she said, "I couldn't help but notice you were staring at our dresses."
"Yeah," Jon said. She leaned forward, giving him a view down her shirt. Her breast swung freely, and he could just catch a hint of nipple. He shifted in spot, blushing slightly. Unfortunately, the woman mistook his movements for something else.
"Oh, you poor thing," she said, giving him another smile. "Here, we have this promotion for a complete makeover." She held out a certificate to him. He took at it automatically and just nodded along, not really hearing anything she was saying. "Normally, its a prize and all, but I know what it's like not to afford pretty things. Come back this Saturday and we'll get started, okay?"
He nodded, prompting the smile to get even bigger.
"Excellent. My name is Lacy and I will see you on Saturday." With that, she turned and walked back into the door. Her hips swayed, swishing her skirt as she walked away. Jon glanced down at the piece of paper then back at the store.
What the hell did he just agree to?
