Date

I walked into the sitting room, found my wife lounging on the couch dressed casually as she was working from home. "Don't you look cute," she said, looking at my frilly satin blouse and tan just above the knee skirt.

"This isn't too much, I hope," I said, okay with cute, but that was all.

"No, not at all, it's sexy," she said.

I swallowed; sexy was not the look I was going for. "I prefer cute, not sexy," I said.

"What's wrong with being cute/sexy?" she asked.

I looked down, a slight blush. "N...nothing," I mumbled.

"What?" she asked. 

"I just...there's this guy at work who..."

"Who what?"

"Well...he keeps...he keeps flirting with me."

"Flirting how?" she asked. 

"I don't know, like talking to me, telling me I look nice, things like that."

She smiled. "You make a pretty girl," she said, "I'm sure he's just being polite."

"It...it's more than that," I said.

"More how?"

"He...he asked me to...to get a drink after work," I blurted out.

"Honey!" she exclaimed with a big smile, sitting up. "You're serious?"

"Yes," I said, "he...he was like...want to get a drink after work on Friday. That's flirting, right?"

"Flirting? Sweetie, that's asking you out...like a pre-date."

"A pre-date?"

"Like a casual drink...it means he wants to go out."

"What...what am I supposed to do?"

"Is he cute?"

"Amy!"

"Well is he?"

"Yes, but Amy, he...you're serious? He's asking me on a date?"

She nodded. "What are you going to do?"

"That's what I'm asking you, Amy, what am I supposed to do?" I thought about telling HR or filing a complaint or something.

She shrugged. "If he's cute, I suppose you say yes."

I stared at her. That's not what I was asking. "Amy."

"My goodness, my pretty sissy getting asked out on her first date, this is so cool," she said.

"Amy..."

"We're going to have to have the talk now."

"The talk?"

"You know, the talk...what men expect...what they hope for...how to react..."

"Expect?"

She giggled. "The sex talk, silly," she said. "Now, it's just a pre-date, so you have to act cool...you don't give away too much on the first date...just playful touching and nothing below the waist. You have to make him want it, and believe me, he will."

"Amy!"

"God, this is so exciting! My sissy's first date, I'm so happy for you."

"You...you are?"

"Of course...god, it brings back memories...this is going to be such fun."
