Jill tapped her foot on the ground and impatiently looked at her watch. It was only a few minutes to 8 now and Claire was still in her room. Sighiing heavily, Jill stomped over to her roommate's door and knocked loudly.
"Claire!" she called out. "The boys will be here soon! Are you dressed?"
There was a sound of something small being knocked over and the rush of footsteps.
"What color dress are you wearing?!" Claire asked, her voice sounding a little on edge. Jill sighed again, putting her hands on her hips. When she had agreed to go on this double date she had not expected Claire to be this nervous.
"Blue!" Jill informed her. She heard a small groan from the other side of the door.
"Damn it!! Hang on... gotta change..."
"Is it really that big of a deal?" Jill asked.
"I don't know! I just want to look nice for Leon!"
"He'd think you looked nice if you were wearing a burlap sack!"
"Well, I don't have one of those! Gimme a minute to figure this out!"
Jill had only just started to roll her eyes when she heard the familiar jingle of her cell phone in her purse. She grabbed it and answered.
"Chris?"
"Hey, we'll be there in a few minutes. By the way, Leon just got a call from Luis," Chris said.
"Is everything ok?" Jill asked, now worried.
"Everything is fine! In fact, he's going to be proposing to Ada tonight and wants us to be there for it!"
Jill's eyes widened. "Oh wow! Really? That's amazing!"
"Yeah, so we'll be joining them for part of the evening." Chris then chuckled. "I guess this just became a triple date."
"Sure did," Jill said. "This is so exciting!"
"Yeah! Anyway, we're almost there. See you in a little bit. Love you."
"I love you too," Jill said and hung up the phone. She knocked on Claire's door again. "Claire! Big news!"
She heard a small crash. "Is Leon here already!?" Claire called out in a slightly panicked voice.
"Not yet! But Luis and Ada are joining us tonight! He's gonna propose!"
"What?! It's about time- Wait! Ada... Do you think she's going to be wearing a red dress?"
Jill shrugged. "Probably. It's Ada-"
"Damn it!" Claire lamented. "Hang on... gotta change..."
Just as Jill covered her mouth to stop a laugh she heard a knock at the door.
"Our dates are here!" She called out in a single song voice and was rewarded with a small scream from Claire.
