This choice: Willy goes to his first dress appointment • Go Back...Chapter #5Willy goes to his first dress appointment by: DrZaaijer A few minutes later, Willy came into your room.
"Laura," he said, "do I have to go to the prom with you?"
"Yes, you promised. I got everything ready for you. I bought the tickets and I found a guy who really wants to go with you." You lied but you would get those things soon, especially the guy, probably a strong guy who plays on the football team, but that could wait.
"But, I"m in college now, I don't think I have the time." He, of course, was worried about buying the dress and all the rest. He didn't know why he had to do such things for the prom, but he wasn't allowed to question what he must do.
"You promised," you said again but this time you gave him the puppy dog look and he melted. Of course you didn't have to, he had no choice now, but it was fun to act.
"Oh, alright," he said reluctantly.
"I'll tell you what, I'm going to Roseanna's Bridal and Prom Shoppe tomorrow. You can come with me and we can look for dresses together. I was going to go with Vienna, but we had an argument."
"What time?"
"4:30 after school."
"OK, I'll be there."
You met Willy at the shoppe. He had to use Google to find its location. When you got there, you and Willy were shown to the back and an assistant greeted you.
"Hi, I'm Jill. What can I do for you today?"
"Go ahead and tell her what you want," you told Willy.
Willy who was dying inside but just had to do it said. "Well I need a dress for prom."
"Oh, you do?" Jill said trying to suppress a giggle.
"Don't be shy," you said. "Tell her what you want."
"I am looking for a short dress that is very poofy. I want to show off my legs."
"Hmmm, you mean a dress made out of tulle," Jill explained. Tulle is mesh type material that makes a dress stand out, especially when worn with petticoats.
"Yes, that is perfect," you said. You had been looking at dresses for a while and knew about such things.
Jill went into the back and brought out three dresses. Most tulle dresses were sleeveless but she found one with sleeves too http://www.onlypromdresses.com/prodid.php?prodnum=918-b00ptiesbuSzmh http://www.onlypromdresses.com/prodid.php?prodnum=904-b00sm6evf4Eyekepper http://www.onlypromdresses.com/prodid.php?prodnum=925-b00qv11ze2Zahy Then she took Willy to the changing area. He came out wearing each dress one at a time. It was hard to keep the dresses without sleeves up as he didn't have any breast at all. Jill comforted Willy telling him that lots of girls...er people liked to wear strapless dresses but don't have much on top. There were work arounds for such things such as sewing on clear straps or just ensuring that the top was especially tight.
"Well, they are lovely," you said. But I really can't tell which showcases your legs best. Your legs are just so hairy. I think we should have them waxed before looking at any more dresses."
"Waxed?"
"Yeap, it just has to be done."
You were ready to use your power if Willy balked, but he wanted to get out of this place that he would agree to anything. He had assumed that he wouldn't get his legs waxed today. But you insisted and so the two of you went to find someone to remove all the hair from Willy's legs. He didn't know that they were going to wax his armpits and eyebrows too while they were at it.
Willy put on his normal clothes and you were about to leave the store. Willy looked glum. He didn't want to get the dress and all the other things that would be needed to go to prom but he was resigned. At first you were happy he was so embarrassed about doing this, but that got old fast. On the way out, you passed a girl who was being show to another of the private rooms. She was accompanied by her mother and her best friend or maybe her sister. You couldn't tell without reading their minds. The girl was clearly excited about the adventure of going to prom. You could see it in her face, in how she moved, in her whole demeanor. You thought wouldn't it be more fun if Willy felt like that? Seeing him mope around was bringing you down. If he felt that way, at prom he would probably be dancing all the time with his date and taking lots of pictures. Smiling all the time that would be so much fun to see. So you swapped the attitudes of the girl with Willy. Willy straightened up and a bounce was added to his step. He now wanted to get his legs waxed. Also now that he really wanted to go to the prom unbeknowst to you, Willy was now curious as to who his prom date would be. He would go with anyway, but the proper prom date is as important as the proper dress. That is what the other girl through and now it was what Willy thought. indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
