I highly doubt Dex Lansing is the love of my life, but stranger things have happened.
“Thanks, Cora.” I give her a little side hug. “You always give the best pep talks.”
“It’s a gift.” She flips her hair dramatically. “Now real quick, tell me more about this date tonight—what are you going to wear? Maybe have your tits out.”
She whispers the last part about my tits because now we’re in the hall and it’s filling with children fresh from recess.
“Jeans and a cute shirt?”
“Jeans and a cute shirt?” Her groan is louder than her speaking voice. “I cannot cosign on a shirt. Don’t you have somethingsexy?”
“We’re going out in public—I’m not going to have my boobs out!”
“You’re dating an athlete. Give him a show.”
I laugh. “Literally the only things I have aren’t fun. My closet is embarrassing—I also have nothing that shows cleavage.” Although I could probably borrow something tight.
“If you don’t embrace the fact that you’re going out with a sexy sexpot, there is no hope for the rest of us.”
I stop at my classroom, smiling sweetly at my students as they file back into the room. Like an angel.
“Why do you always make things about you?” I say through gritted teeth.
“I’m speaking for the committee. The itty-bitty-titty committee.”
We lean against my door with a case of the giggles.
“I’ll try.” I hold my fingers up. Scout’s honor. “Don’t expect any miracles.”
But a miracle sure would be nice.
Seated back at my desk, I give my students some time to unwind and get settled in. Everyone needs a bit of me time, and I am no exception, wanting several moments to process and clear my head from Cora’s teasing.
Show off my boobs?
I couldn’t.
I wasn’t lying when I said there was nothing in my closet to show off the girls around Dex, and I’m not about to run to the store to buy something new.
That would be silly.
I nibble my bottom lip.Why not? Whynotgo to the store and buy something a little less conservative?Invest in yourself!
Lord, give me the confidence to enjoy myself tonight.
I don’t know what to expect, but I hope I survive a night with Dex Lansing.

Dex
The place is packed.
Not that I’m surprised, but it’s always nice to see a good turnout, especially when you’re bringing a date.
A first for me.
It’s notunusualfor my teammates to bring friends or family to these things, but for me? I’ve never had anyone to bring. Just me, myself, and I.
