buffed in no time at all. When we got done, Lydia asked me what I was doing tonight. "Why do you ask?" I said to her. "Are you trying to work up the courage to ask me out on a date?" Lydia laughed, but her red cheeks gave away her embarrassment. "Frank, I was only wondering if you want to go grab a coffee or something after you get dressed. Not exactly a date or anything." "Lydia, I would be happy to do that, but I have a date tonight. Can I get a rain check?" "Of course you can," she said. Her disappointment was obvious. She had taken a chance and I shot her down. "Lydia, I didn't mean to throw that in your face. I'm sorry. I'm serious about the rain check, though. You seem like a nice person, and nice people always get a second chance with me." That seemed to brighten her demeanor and her infectious smile broke out all over her face. "I'm going to hold you to that, Frank." "As well you should. Next time I come in we'll go grab that coffee. Okay with you?" "Yes sir, it's a date. Well, not really a date, it's coffee." We laughed a bit over that one and I excused myself to go shower. As I entered the locker room, I wondered what Lydia would be like in bed. Maybe someday I would get to find out. She flirts with me every time I'm here.

The workout felt good. It took that edge off that I had felt all day and got me in a great mood for my date with Jan tonight. I had such high expectations for it and suddenly I realized that Jan might not be ready for us to go all the way. I had to be prepared for that possibility, but I was sure that the evening would be a good one, no matter how it ended. I got to Jan's house about three minutes late. One thing I learned years ago was that you never, ever show up early to pick up your date. It makes for an awkward time when she isn't ready and you sit on the sofa twiddling your thumbs. I made sure after making that mistake that it would never happen again. I rang the doorbell, feeling my heart skip a beat or two waiting for her to answer the door. I was wearing a grey sports jacket with a light blue shirt, no tie, black slacks and one of my best pair of shoes completed my attire. I was hoping she would approve of it. I was a bit surprised when Jennifer let me in. I was under the impression that she was away at school. "Come on in, Mr. Beddoes. Mom is almost ready and she asked me to be on the lookout for you." "Thank you Jennifer," I said to her. "I ...
