Martha had invited me to join her this night. She wants to go to the local Karaoke club.

I did still not know what to wear.

After practicing Karaoke a little bit, I first had a shower.

 

 

 

Hm, what should I wear tonight?

Let's see what options I have...

 

 

I really like this dress. But isn't it too sexy? I don't want her to think I am an easy girl or something. Hm, probably something else...

 

 

Yeah, that's better for a first date. Wait, Sandra, this isn't a date, just two neighbors going out together...

I think I'll sweat a lot in this dress in the club. So, no... What else to I have...

 

 

That's better definitely. But wouldn't it be better for a dance club? Do I have something a little bit more casual?

 

 

Yes, that's it, it's more casual, but still sexy.

 

Doorbell rings...

 

Whew, just in time.

 

“Hello Sandra, you look great.”

“Hi, thank you, you too.”

 

Mmmh, she smells enchanting...

 

“So, let's go?”

“Sure.”

 

We sat down at the bar on the ground floor first. The club itself was in the second floor and more smaller Karaoke rooms were in the third floor.

 

She was looking gorgeous. This dress blew my mind and it was difficult for me not to stare. I was wondering if she wanted to attract me or if she hoped for a catch at the club.

 

We both had a cup of Cappuccino and had a little chat to know each other better.

I told her that as she suggested, I ask my mom to stop sending me money.

She was happy to hear that. She, for her part, told me that she received a call today offering her a small role in an episode of the TV show “King of San Mayshuno”.

“That will be my first role in a bigger production!”

“Wow, nice to hear, congratulations!”

“Thanks, are you finished with your Cappuccino? I want to go upstairs to have some fun.”

“Yes, let's have some fun!”

 

We went upstairs to the club area and Martha immediately jumped on the Karaoke stage. I had no other choice but to follow her. We made a duet of “Simcountry Roads”.

 

 

 

It was a lot of fun. I enjoyed being so close to her.

We took a table afterwards and ordered some wine.

 

 

It took all my courage asking a question that had been burning on my heart.

“So... what's up with you and Carra? What kind of friends are you?”

“Haha, are you asking if she is my girlfriend?” Impish grin

“Ahm...”

“Haha, you do! The answer is no. We know each other since we were little kids. We both decided to move to San Mayshuno after college, so it made sense to share a flat.”

 

 

“Oh, I thought you are more...”

“What about you? Do you have someone special in your live?”

“No, I... I have nobody special. I think, I simply was to busy with college stuff, haha.” Sheepish grin

“So, you are looking for someone now?”

“What... Ah... Maybe... Don't know...”

“Don't worry, Sandra, we will find someone for you.”

“Oh... I don't think that's necessary, but thanks.”

“Common, you are a handsome, young lady, the guys would be crazy not to have a crush for you. Or do you prefer women?”

 

 

“To be honest... I am somewhat inexperienced in that special matter...”

“So, you don't know, what gender you prefer?”

 

 

“...Ahm...No...I guess...”

“Interesting. Ok, if you see someone you like, tell me, I will help you with it, whether it's a guy or a lady.”

 

Yeah, I already have seen someone...

 

 

Somehow I managed to change the direction of the conversation before she forced me to reveal my true feelings.

So, the rest of the talk was full of small talk about hobbies, politics and even the weather.

Just before midnight, we went home.

With more sorted thoughts, I took her hands on our way home.

 

 

“This was a wonderful night, thank you.”

 

 

With these words, I left the perplexed Martha behind...

 

Later in bed I imagined, Martha would have followed me home.
