10.
When the town car pulled up at exactly nine, Tess was waiting outside. The driver held the rear passenger door for her then got behind the wheel. When she was settled, they drove off.
Jennifer thought Tess looked beautiful and told her so. The dress she had picked suited her perfectly. Tess thanked her and told her she looked fantastic as well. Jennifer was wearing an emerald green backless cocktail dress. It clung to every curve of her body and was shorter than she would normally wear, but considering where they were going it was perfect.
Jennifer could tell Tess wanted to say something, but was hesitating.
“Tess,” she said, “Is everything okay?”
“Yes, but…..um…..,” she faltered. “I don’t know how to say this. We must have our signals crossed. We’ve really hit it off and I like you, but….” she took Jennifer’s hand in both of hers and looking down at them blurted out, “I’m not a lesbian.”
She looked up and continued hurriedly, “Not that there is anything wrong with being a lesbian, I’m just not one.”
Jennifer laughed and squeezed her hand, “Neither am I.”
“But the way you reacted to the photos,” she said, “and I saw you staring when my skirt got caught on the stool.”
Jennifer just nodded as Tess continued. “And the box with this gorgeous dress. I’m wearing everything that was in it.”
“Yes. And like I told you, you look fantastic.”
Tess still had a worried look on her face as she leaned closer to Jennifer and whispered, “But I’m not wearing any panties.”
When she sat back, Tess noticed a slight smile forming at the corners of Jennifer’s mouth.
“First of all,” Jennifer said, trying to calm any of her friends misgivings, “you looked fantastic in those pictures, anyone would be turned on seeing them. As for the incident with the stool, your skirt came up, I looked. That’s all. I’m not gay, but I’m also not blind. You’re a beautiful woman and I was appreciating that.”
Jennifer picked up two glasses of champagne, handing one to Tess. They clinked their glasses together and Jennifer leaned toward Tess and whispered, “I’m not wearing panties either.” They both laughed and settled in for the ride.
