Right 71 By Littlewing1957
Rocky sidled over to Ennis, certain that the sheer beauty of her appearance would entice him, and prepare him for things to come. Ennis watched as Rocky approached, and felt a pang of guilt. He thought back to that night when he and Rocky were naked and writhing and ready. But after a few ardent kisses and caresses, Ennis found himself pulling back. “I just can’t do it! Ennis exclaimed as he released her. “I have to get to know a lady before I make love to her.” Rocky was silent. Ennis watched as what looked like shame and humiliation colored Rocky’s pretty face when he rose and began to dress himself. He had to avert his eyes, couldn’t bear to watch as Rocky lay there, naked, panting, and refused! “Suit yourself!” Rocky whispered, after a moment. She eased her nude body from the floor and dressed. Ennis watched her as she prepared a drink for him, almost as if to say there were no hard feelings. Ennis placed a hand on Rocky’s shoulder as she drew near. He was not particularly attracted to her. He couldn’t force the image of Jack from his mind. Every step of the way, Rocky was nothing more than a female body bearing Jack’s face. Ennis couldn’t stand it! But Rocky was confident that in time she would have Ennis. She always got the guy!
“Stay with me until you get work,” Rocky offered as she sipped her drink. “It’ll be easy for you this way. I can ask around town, if you just tell me what sort of work you’re interested in.” Ennis didn’t want to stay with Rocky. He wanted to be with Jack, and couldn’t image why he took off without him. Ennis was mentally kicking himself in the rear for pulling such a stupid stunt. He couldn’t think of a way back to the Twist ranch, because of the way he left things. He had no other recourse but to stay with Rocky until he figured a way out of the mess he created. “I’ll stay awhile, Rocky,” Ennis whispered so softly that Rocky barely heard. “Okay, then,” she whispered back. “We’ll worry about work tomorrow. But for now, how about escorting me to the dance?” Ennis forgot about the dance. He couldn’t think of a way out of taking her, so he agreed to go.
Rocky drove Ennis to a tailor’s shop downtown. She wanted the distinction of being the only woman at the dance whose date sported a custom made tux. Not that any one would know that Ennis’ suit was made special, but she would know! Rocky introduced Ennis to Bela, the German tailor who owned the shop. Ennis felt weird when he was measured for the suit. He never had anything custom made for him before. Hell, Ennis never even owned a suit bought off the rack. It was all so new to him, and he wasn’t sure if he liked it! Rocky paid extra to have the tux finished in a few days, and they were out and on to the florist for a lapel bloom for Ennis and a wrist corsage for Rocky. Ennis didn’t know how much Rocky was shelling out, and he hoped she didn’t feel entitled, that she was buying him. Ennis placed the gloomy thoughts from his mind. He reasoned that Rocky was doing what she wanted. A modern woman had every right to pay up front, especially since she is the one who wants a date for the dance. Ennis vowed to pay his share when he was able. He couldn’t allow Rocky to shoulder the burden of the entire expense.
The night of the dance Ennis dressed in Rocky’s spare bedroom. He was so nervous that he had to drink a few shots of whiskey to calm his nerves. As he put on a gold-plated cuff link, Ennis wondered who would be at the dance, and what they would think when he arrived with Rocky on his arm. He worried about his manners, or lack of. Ennis’ stomach hurt. His hands shook as he slipped on his black loafers. “Ready, En?” It was Rocky. She stood in the doorway and almost doubled over when Ennis rose from the bed. He was a dreamboat in a black tux, black shiny loafers, a white scarf draped over his breast. His hair was slicked back and glistening. Ennis faced Rocky and was unprepared for the beauty. Rocky was a knockout in a lavender Valentino gown; a white wrap draped around her bare shoulders. She handed Ennis her wrist corsage and smiled as he placed it on her right wrist. Her left wrist was ablaze with a diamond bracelet. “Uhh, yeah I’m ready,” Ennis mumbled as he offered Rocky a trembling arm. Rocky noticed that Ennis seemed nervous. “Look, Ennis,” she soothed. “Everything is going to be just fine.” She rubbed his forearm tenderly. “Let’s just go, have a good time. You look fierce! Any woman would be proud to be seen with you.” Ennis' crimsom blush was very becoming. He walked Rocky out to her car and they began the drive to the dance.
