A Few Important Things Were On Her List

Her smile was bright as she asked the clerk at the make-up counter for directions through the department store. As the clerk was showing her how to find the lingerie department, she commented on the gorgeous antique engagement ring on her hand. She smiled at the clerk and went off to shop.

It was a short ride up to the third floor on the escalator. She saw the sexy lingerie on the mannequins as she stepped off the escalator. Hmm, soft green was her favorite color, but she had to find something spectacular in white for her wedding night.

Thinking of the honeymoon in Jamaica she stopped to check out the bikinis. I deserve two, one white and one green, she thought to herself as she stepped into the dressing room. She loved the pale green one.

Grabbing an armful of white swimsuits, she went back into the dressing room. The third one fit perfectly, She turned in front of the mirror and thought about all those hours on the treadmill and how they were worth it. She paid for the bikinis and went over to lingerie. Going through the racks and racks of flimsy, white garments she smiled at the thought of John and the wedding. In and out of the dressing room, she found a long nightgown and some other sheer garments.

She had her arms full of new clothes and still she stopped to look at purses. She has a white sequined bag for her wedding day. There was a pale green hobo bag that was just the shade she loved. She purchased it to take on her honeymoon.

Next, a new pair of white jeans, a pair of slim black denim jeans and some leggings were added to her purchases. She also bought several pairs of shorts for the honeymoon trip. Hmm, she wondered what blouses would match these shorts. She needed a top to match the pink ones and a plain white one for wearing with the plaid shorts. It was time to head over to the ladies department. She took an armful of shirts for girls into the changing room.

She felt very thirsty after all that shopping. She went to the restaurant and sat down and enjoyed the air conditioning. The menu was tempting her.

She ordered a chef salad and a coke from the young girl waiting on her. She could not eat hamburgers and fries till after the wedding. She was on a strict diet to maintain her dress size.

Now that she had been to the bridal shop for her last fitting she had to maintain her weight. The gown will fit perfectly if she does. She visualized the long train on the lovely gown. She drank the last of her coke as she thought of John. The waitress asked if she wanted dessert. She said no and paid the check.

Da da da da she hummed inside her head as she carried all her bags to the car. She drove home with her purchases. There was still so much to do before the big day. She gazed at her antique engagement ring glinting in the sun as she stepped out of the car. She called out to her mother as she walked into the house. ‘Hi mom, I found everything.’

What follows is a fiercely passionate duel in which two headstrong people discover that, differences or not, sometimes one gender cannot will not do without the other. From the Paperback edition.
