It was the week after my high school graduation and my father was in Florida on vacation. I had the house all to myself for a whole week. That didn't happen too often. I called up my best friend Brittany to come spend the week with me.
She came over on that Friday night. We spent the whole night just watching movies and eating junk. We stayed up late walking the neighborhood. It was summer, warm and the moon was nice and bright.
Before we decided to get ready for bed, I checked my facebook. I had a message from my boyfriend, Sean.
"Hey babe, was wondering what's going on for tomorrow. Just wondering if I am going to get a chance to see you this week."
I replied.
"Yeah babe, I haven't made any plans this week. Want to come over tomorrow?"
He wasn't on, I knew I wouldn't hear back from him tonight. So I signed off and got ready for bed. As I got changed and climbed into bed, Sean was on my mind. Within minutes, I was fast asleep, dreaming peacefully.

The next morning, I was woken up with Britt standing over me with a cup of coffee. I sat up and took it from her.
"So, what are we doing today?" she asked.
"I am not exactly sure yet. I left Sean a message last night, he might be coming over today. I haven't heard back from him yet. I have to check my facebook."
I got up and walked into the computer room. I turned on the computer and waited for it to load. I signed onto my facebook and noticed a message from Sean. I was shocked by the time. I had slept til noon. I was that tired. Sean's reply was:
"Sure. I have no plans today and I don't have to work. How does 5 O'clock sound to you?"
I replied.
"Sounds great to me babe, I will see you then."
I notified Britt that Sean was coming over at 5 and we had the some time to do what we wanted. Britt got in the shower and I sat on the computer, blasting some music as she got ready. Then we switched, she got on the computer as I showered.
When she was over and we were alone, we showered with the bathroom door open. My bathroom in the house was really small and it got really steamy in there. As I was in the shower, I yelled to Britt, who was right across the hall on the computer.
"What should I wear today?" I yelled. I heard her walk to the bathroom door.
"I am thinking white carpi pants, black tank top with that little black jacket and your black wedges. And of course your sexiest thong and bra."
I didn't respond to her answer. I just thought about it as I finished up my shower. I dried off and walked out with a towel around me and my long, blond hair wrapped up. As I walked into my room, I saw Britt laying out the outfit on my bed. She even laid out what jewelry to wear with it.
She did pretty damn good. I liked what she choose. I got dressed, did my make-up, then shook my hair out of the towel. I took a step back and looked at what to do with it. It was really long and sun bleached blond. I was a natural blond, some people mistook it for being fake but it wasn't.
I brushed it out and left it to dry on its own. Sean liked it when I didn't do anything to it. When it dried naturally, it was wavy. Sean called me Rapunzel when I wore it like that, so I decided to leave it.
The last touch I made was I dabbled on some oil behind my ears and at the base of my neck. Pink Sugar, Sean's favorite. Britt was still on the computer when I finished.
"You look good," she said as she got up.
"What do you wanna do? I have some time before Sean gets here."
"Lets walk over to the store."
"Okay," I said. I grabbed a $20 and my keys from my purse and locked up the door. It was bright and wicked warm out. The sun on my face felt good.
We walked into the store and walked around. There were a few things on sale. I got myself a bottle of diet coke to have with dinner later on. Britt was excited because she ran into John, the guy she had been crushing on for a while. He lived down the street. She made plans with him for later that night. I didn't mind John and his friend Will coming over. I had known them for years.
As she finished up making plans with them for later, I got in line to check out. Jeff was working.
"You look extra pretty today." Jeff said as he rung me out.
