Listen to Convincing John/
And all your troubles will be gone/
He's gonna tell it, spell it, sell it/
Just for you/
So now you've heard my teaching/
And you've heard my mighty preaching/
And you know inside your soul it's really true (true)/
For every new decision/
You will see and hear a vision/
Of the teachings that I'm preaching unto you (you).
Somewhere on the Promenade
?Goddess, what have you gotten yourself into now?? Cayt asked in a sigh as she fingered the hook of a hanger. Her latest excursion with Amthy wasn?t what she would call normal?at least not completely. They were shopping. That was normal. But it was for men?s clothing, which wasn?t.
??m helping someone with a girl,? Amthy chirped happily to Cayt as she pulled out a shirt and held it to Cayt. ?Would you wear this iffin you were a guy??
?Are you matchmaking again?? Cayt groaned. ?Depends on what kind of guy I am. Do I get to pick??
?Sort of,? Amthy said elusively as she put the shirt in a maybe pile. ?He seems manly an? a lil?rural.?
?I think the word you are looking for is rustic,? Cayt supplied as she shifted her lean and crossed her arms. ?Does he know you are buying him clothes??
??m no? buying him a whole wardrobe, jus?a lil somethin? nice to change into.?
?Why?? Suspicion narrowed Cayt?s green eyes.
?Our spa day,? Amthy returned as she moved to another rack. She put the idea out there as if it was nothing at all. While Cayt processed the information, she snagged the elbow of a sales associate and had a few words about fashion and store layout. ?Over there you say?? She pointed over a few racks. ?Splendid.? She flowed that way, but only after pressing her pile of maybes into the associate?s hands. ?Hey, you kind of look to be his size; will you try these on for me?? She pleaded.
Cayt cleared her throat. ?Why would you want to do that?? She asked as the man with the clothing left them alone once more.
?So I?ll know if they fit,? she tsked at Cayt.
?No, the other thing?the spa day,? Cayt huffed.
?He needs a manicure and I think it?ll help?im relax. Wooin? is a stressful thing. And he really needs t?do something about his nails. Girls notice those things. ?s no? like?m gonna make him wax his back or anything.?
A silvery-blonde brow lifted. ?He has a hairy back??
Amthy made a vague gesture. ??ve no idea, I hope no?. Tha? would be dreadful.?
?Then why did you mention it?? Cayt asked clearly perplexed, but amusement danced down the link between them.
??m no? tryin? to turn a silk purse into a sow?s ear,? she clucked, ?a person canno? change who they are an? ?m no? gonna make?im try. But he should feel good about himself. Confidence is the key to success,? Amthy gushed to Cayt as she thrust a finger up toward the ceiling.
?That guy is out of the changing room,? Cayt interrupted Amthy and pointed over to the side.
?Oh, goodie, le?s go see how everything looks.?
?Yes, let?s,? Cayt laughed and followed Amthy, rubbing her fingers to the bridge of her nose.
