"You have GOT to be kidding me! You really have no idea why I'm so pissed off?!" He shrugged his shoulders. "You're a-fucking-bandoning me!"... "Why? Because I wanna spend one day with my friend out of the seven I'll be here for? Maxi, I'm spending all of my time with you while I'm here. Don't you understand that? Only you. I didn't put any time aside for just me and the guys. You can't sacrifice one day for me out of your seven? Please?" "Fine," I said, getting out of the car. I. With my crazy schedule I had passed on most of the final details to Faith and Hope during those last two weeks. And now it was all coming to fruition.Momma spared no expense on my dress either. She spent two weeks wages peeling at the Zebra Club to pay for it. It was a source of pride for her that I was the only teenager in the county that was going to her prom in hand tailored designer dress.It was stunning too.Thick red silks and a low cut bodice. Sleeveless with a white velvet inlay. Blue. I stocked your dresser sothat you can choose to dress most any way you like. Don't be afraid toexperiment."Now, let's go to my bathroom and do your make-up." She stood and ledme through the house.In all the time I had spent with her during the summer I hadn't come tothis part of the house. I wasn't surprised to see it looked as thoughit hadn't been used. The bed was made up, there weren't any clotheslying about, the closet door was closed.We went into the bathroom and I sat. Grace went to work. I know I acted like a Bitch and I am truly sorry. I was so nervous I dithered too long in my office then I could not get a cab. Then when I got here I rushed to the elevator and tried to brush past you so I would not have to wait for another one. I caused the problems and then I didn't have the decency to 'fess up when I got here. Please, since its past quitting time can I take you out for a drink and make it up to you?"Roger had every intention of telling her to forget it and to walk out of.
