experience with his sisters that when
they’re going out on a date or with friends it took them forever to pick out
their outfits, make up and hair. It was such a silly production and he didn’t
know why girls go through all the trouble. He actually preferred Gina without
makeup. He thought she had a natural beauty and glow to her that was masked
when she put on all her eye make up.
A few minutes
later, Gina came down the steps looking gorgeous. He’d never seen her looking
so good before and couldn’t figure out what was different about her. He
immediately stood up to greet her and then saw her father coming in to the
foyer area to see them off.
“Gina princess.
You call if you need anything, you hear?” her dad said. “I want you home by
9:30 not a minute later.”
Mr. Doony shot
Mark a look as if to tell him no funny business and then followed it with an
eerie smile. Mark didn’t quite know what to make of those gestures, but he
figured he’d better not pull any funny business and get her home right on time
or early if he wanted to stay on her dad’s good side.
“You know I will,
Daddy! See you later,” Gina said to him with a smile and then gave him a big
hug and kiss on the cheek.
“Mark,” Mr. Doony
said, “Can I have a quick word with you?”
“Yes Sir,” Mark
said, walking into the other room with her dad.
“You take care of
my little girl, you hear?” Mr. Doony said. “I don’t want her home one minute
past her curfew and you better drive safely in that vehicle of yours,” he said,
as he peered out through the window at his old station wagon.
“Absolutely, will
do!” Mark said, smiling, yet nervous. “You have nothing to worry about.”
“I should hope
not young man. Now you two have a nice time at the movies, and we will see you
shortly,” Mr. Doony finished.
“Ok! Bye, Daddy!”
Gina said as the two of them left her house.
“So, you ready
for a fun night?” Mark said, trying to sound excited.
“You bet!” Gina
said. “Can’t wait to see this movie. I hear it’s supposed to be amazing.”
“Yeah, me, too!”
Mark replied.
“So, what’s new
cutie,” Gina said, looking over at Mark.
“Oh ya know,
nothing much,” Mark said.
“Well, I heard
your sister came back. You must be happy about that?” Gina asked.
“Sure!” Mark
said.
“Well, you’re a
man of many words tonight, aren’t you?” Gina said, jokingly.
“Sorry, Hun. I’m
not feeling so well,” Mark said.
“Want to go
home?” Gina asked.
“Um, not really,”
Mark answered. Although that was about the only thing he wanted to do right
now.
“Seriously, if
you want to go home, I understand. You don’t have to worry about me,” Gina
said.
“It’s not that I
want to go home necessarily. I’m just not sure I can sit out for an entire move,”
Mark said, feeling queasy at the thought of it.
“I have an idea,”
Gina said. “Why don’t we just go back to your house and watch a movie there? At
least that way, you will be comfortable in your own home.”
Mark actually
liked that idea. He didn’t want to disappoint her though and make her stay in
with him because he wasn’t feeling well.
“If you want, I
can drop you at the movies and you can meet your friends there? I don’t want to
hold you back, babe,” Mark said. “Really, or, I can bring you home. You don’t
have to come over and take care of me.”
“Don’t be silly,
I want to be with you. I want to take care of you. Please let me,” Gina begged.
Mark felt so
lucky to have such a sweet girl in his life. He didn’t know what he did to
deserve a great girl like her, but he didn’t want to risk losing her.
“Ok, then you can
come over. It will be fun, I promise. We can make popcorn and watch whatever
movie you want,” Mark said.
The two were
stopped at the stoplight in town and Mark looked over at Gina. HE couldn’t help
but notice how delicious she smelled. She wondered if perhaps she’d gotten a
new perfume, but
