A night to remember

By Mooncat100

"Are you ready yet?"

"Give me 5 minutes."

"You said that 5 minutes ago, Neela…"

Neela opened her eyes and glared at her reflection. The red strapless dress she had bought earlier in the week clung strategically to her curves, outlining her hips before falling gracefully to her calves. Sighing Neela picked up her bag.

"Neela, can you get a move on…."

Opening the door and taking a deep breath, Neela strode purposefully down the stairs.

Tony had been waiting patiently for his date for the past half hour. It was Friday night and he had managed to persuade Neela that going to Abby and Luka's party with him, would be better than her going solo. It had taken a lot of persuading, but she had finally succumbed to his pestering. But it had taken lots of coffee breaks. They had been friends for the past 8 months but tonight Tony was planning on changing that.

Hearing some noise from the staircase, Tony reluctantly put down the copy of Glamour he had been reading and picked up his keys.

"So will I do?"

Turning round to face Neela, Tony stopped in his tracks.

"Wow!" he stammered.

"You can put your tongue away now," Neela laughed, the tension she had been feeling easing from the comical look on Tony's face.

"You look hot."

"Thanks, I think." she replied

"Everyone is going to be so jealous when they see my date," Tony smirked.

Feeling slightly uncomfortable Neela replied "uh Tony, remember this is not a date, date, we're just going as friends."

The smirk fell ever so slightly from his face, "um of course, just friends…. It's a friendship date."

Neela looked at Tony and smiled hesitantly. She had been worrying all day that she had made the wrong decision letting Tony take her to this party, especially as………..he was going to be there…………., but Tony had been relentlessly asking her every morning for the past 2 weeks, so she had finally accepted.

"Madam your carriage awaits you,"

Taking his arm, Neela followed Tony to the car.

Oh God, please don't let this turn into a nightmare……..
