“Hi Taylor!” we said one after the other.
“Hey guys, ” he said, “what are you guys doing here?”
“Helping Erisa get ready for her date.” I said.
“I’ll get her.” Amanda said, and went up the stairs.
“Don’t you think you look a bit plain for the date?” I asked.
“Well, it’s only a movie and a pizza. Plus, there’s no way on Earth that Erisa is going to look better than I am.”
“Holy virgin mother of god!” exclaimed Jeff. He was looking at the staircase where Erisa stood, descending it slowly. Her jet-black hair was arranged in a ball and a pony tail, shining from the light. Her dark purple dress made her look especially beautiful, and complimented her body. She looked wonderful.
“So, ” she said after she reached the ground floor, shaking her body and extending her hands, “how do I look?”
“You look… ” Taylor said, “divine!”
Erisa thought for a moment and then said: “‘Divine’s good.”
“Here, Erisa…”
“Hey, ‘Erisa’ was the old (and temporary) me. Call me ‘Eve’ now.”
“…Eve! Here - I brought you flowers.” and he handed her the flowers he had.
Eve (!) smelled them, and said, “they smell nice. Mum, can you put them in a vase with some water?”
“Ahhmm… Eve, can we stop by my house and give me a chance to pick up some better clothes?”
“Why?” Eve said, “we’re going to miss the movie.”
“Well, people will look at the two of us and say: ‘she is way out of his league!’”
Eve approached Taylor. “Well, to quote Richard P. Feynman, ” she said as she tied her arms around his neck “‘What do you care what other people think?’ We both know you’re a great guy and I’m so lucky to go on a date with you. Mwaaa…” and she kissed him on the cheek.
“Well, ” he said, “I guess we’d better get going. Bye all!”
“Bye!” we all said. Eve and Taylor left and Taylor gave us a thumb’s up as he left, and we gave him back.
