“And you couldn’t have talked about this after class? And you’re worried about what to wear. Let me guess. This isn’t a fifty-year-old, fat, bald guy. Is it?”
“No. He’s thirty two and really good-looking. Blond. Weight lifter. English accent. But it’s not a date. We’re meeting at the coffee place, and I’m planning to buy my own drink.”
“So, you’ve decided to start dating, and you’re not giving Spencer the first shot?”
She
’d known Charlie would react like this. “It’s not a date. I told you—”
“I know what you said. But, you’re wearing your hair down, and that look on your face tells me you might let him kiss you if he tried.”
She felt heat rising in her face. “I would not!”
Charlie raised an eyebrow. “Okay. Whatever you say. Tell me about the place you’re going. And what are my clothing options?”
Emily picked up the computer and pointed it toward the bed littered with clothes.
“Ohmygosh! That’s everything you own.” She sighed. “Pants, shorts, dress?”
“Well, Becca said I should wear a dress to this place.”
“Becca?”
“Yes. That’s one of the girls from the hiking trip. You know—Betty Boobs?”
“And you’re taking advice from her?”
“No, I’m asking for your advice.”
“Okay. I wouldn’t go really dressy. Why don’t you wear a skirt and a blouse?”
“This one?” Emily held up one of her black linen work skirts.
“No. Wear something short. You might as well show off your legs. Yeah, that one.”
“I have to be careful how I sit in this one. It’s really short.”
“But it’s tight. If they’re short and loose, you have to worry about the wind catching them.”
“Okay. And the blouse?”
“Wear that black one with the ruffles.”
“You don’t think it’s too low cut?”
“No, it’s not even as low cut as what most people wear to work. It’s seems low cut to you because you’re not used to it. And wear a necklace, you know, the black one with the dangly chains. It’s not too flashy.”
“Heels or flats?”
“Is he tall?”
“Probably six feet tall.”
“Are you walking from the subway?”
“I’m taking a taxi.”
“Definitely heels,” she said. “But Emily—one more thing.”
