Kelly looked in the mirror and adjusted her dress again. Red was not her typical color but tonight was not a typical night. The dress was something she usually only wore on shore leave. The material was soft and flowing but accented her body in all the right places. Ian would catch a glimpse of her legs to almost mid-thigh but only when she sat down or took long strides. Standing still it would cover her legs to a respectable length just above the knee. The top had a neckline that was low enough one might try to adjust their height in order to catch a visual advantage but at the end was left with nothing but their imagination. The straps holding the dress on her shoulders seemed as if ready to slide off with a simple finger under them yet they remained firmly in place through all Kelly’s adjusting and shifting. “Ian....are you ready,” Kelly yelled from the bedroom pulling on her shoes as she headed to the door. “We don’t want to be late to our own party.”

Ian heard his name but was finishing his tie as she called. “One… one second.” he said with a huff to his voice as he came into the bedroom as he exited the bathroom. He had a sharp black classic suit on, there just was one piece that seemed to be out of place, the bow tie. It was a tangled mess around his neck as he looked at her, his eyes pleading for help. “I don’t do bow ties, neck ties Windsor, double, you name it I can do it… I hate these bastards though.” he said as he pulled it off his neck.

“But you look so dashing,” Kelly motioned him over towards her. “And I don’t think you should ever learn this,” she said turning him away from the mirror as she afixed his tie. “If you did why would you ever need me?” She punctuated her words and the finishing of his tie with a soft kiss on the lips.

“How good are you at this? You have to have tied at least once? Come please tell me this isn’t a skill either of us has.” he said as he smiled at her. “Other wise, I am just going to go with nothing, just look post modern or something like that… I mean how classy do we really need to be? You look stunning as hell that should be enough for everyone… it sure as hell is for me.”

“Tell me what you think,” she finally spun him back towards the mirror. Interlocking her fingers she held him from the back peeking her head just over the edge of his shoulder. That was the only trouble with dating a man almost a foot taller than herself. Even in heels she could not make eye contact nor see around his body. “Because I think you are going to be the most handsome guy there so you had better not let go of my handle,” she shifted her grasp so that her fingers closed over his.
