Padding aimlessly through her tiny one bedroom apartment, Adrian wished there was a little something more to her life than just this and work. Not that there was anything wrong with this and work but the one night a week she allowed herself out of the apartment and the long hours at work were starting to take their toll. Lazily she scooped some peanut butter out of the nearly empty jar of 'Extra Creamy' and slowly licked it from its resting place as she watched the neighboring Sigma house flexing their muscles and wrestle over a "bad call" during a game of Frisbee. Shaking her head, baffled that their could even be a possibility of a "bad call" in Frisbee, she returned to her couch and laptop.
"No, Macy. I'm not posting the photos." Adrian muttered with a flush.
"Then why did you even take them? I know you're naked, but they're artsy. You should really submit them. Really!" Macy fidgeted with her laptop screen. "I hate having a webcam on the top of the computer. It makes it difficult to stay in focus."
"Yeah, well it's what we've got girl. But about the photos, I took them to see if I could. Now I'm deleting them. Can't have anyone just gawking at them and at this rate I'm glad I didn't actually email them to you, you might submit them to some amateur site."
"Would not. Maybe, okay so I would, but damn girl you've got the goods. How about you show me a little web la-ti-da?" Adrian's overly zealous friend whistled into the webcam while slipping her tank strap over her shoulder in a faux striptease.
"How about not? Gotta go to work, later girly. Love you!" she said closing her laptop. "Dear lord, how did I ever get to be friends with her?" Adrian laughed shaking her head as she went to lay down for a bit. Truth be told, she just couldn't handle too much of Macy and still had a few hours to kill before a twelve hour at the hospital.
Pulling her hair from its restrictive pony tail, she fanned it out around her on her bed. The lavish locks of gold tinted mocha always made her feel beautiful. She always envisioned herself as a mermaid or goddess when her hair was positioned around her like this. She allowed herself these fantastic thoughts as she drifted into twilight sleep.
Sirens rang out upsetting her slight slumber, her body spasmed in answer to it, her dreams followed her from sleep, but only long enough for her to realize it was her horrific ring tone. Still unsure if she was happy it was only her ring tone and not a real disaster she flipped open her phone before even looking at the number.
"Um..hullo?" Adrian said slowly with a velvet ridden voice.
"Yeah, this is Scott from..."
It didn't matter who he was or where he was calling from, Adrian wasn't comprehending a bit of what was spoken. The gentleman at the end of the line spoke in such a smooth tone it lulled her back to the early stages of sleep. Only moments into his intro he heard her moan.
"Ma'am?" He almost whispered. "Are you still there?"
Nodding sleepily, Adrian asked "Do you think I'm pretty?"
"I'm sure you are, I can't see you, but you sound lovely. Could you make that sound again?" Scott asked, his voice muffled by his hand cupping the receiver of his phone.
