Tall glass of Pinot

Gia had a lazy Sunday morning in bed, she didn't have much planned for today and figured that she had earned the right to lounge in bed. Henry had crawled up onto her chest and fell back to sleep, his tiny little body vibrating with the small purrs he was making.

Just as Gia was nodding back to sleep she heard the sound of her phone ringing, it was only 09:08am so whoever was calling her this early on a Sunday best have a damn good reason for it. "Hello" Gia's groggy voice answered as she tried not to wake the small sleeping cat on her chest.

"Giannina dear it's mom, are you still in bed? You sound as though you were still sleeping. Oh god are you sick?" It took Gia a second to process what her mother had said before she rolled her eyes. "No mother I'm not sick I was just sleeping in on my day off. What's the matter is everything alright?" Gia questioned as she moved up the bed, resting her back on the headboard, moving Henry down to her lap.

"Yes dear everything is good, me and your father was wondering if you would like to come out an join us for some Sunday lunch? We can meet in that lovely new Italian place at say 12:30?" Although Gia wanted to sleep in and stay in bed she knew she would break her mothers heart if she said no.

"12:30 sounds perfect, I will meet you and dad there" Gia smiled and ended the call with her mother. She hadn't seen her parents for a few months what with things being so busy in the office, her parents were both very supportive of her and understood why she had not been to see them.

Gia begrudgingly got herself out of bed and slowly made her way downstairs towards the bathroom. Gia made sure to put some food down fir Henry before running herself a hot bath, wanting nothing more than to soak her stress away. Gia poured in her favourite bubble bath soak and let the sweet peach and vanilla smell flood her nostrils. Gia slipped off her pyjamas and carefully dipped her toes into the hot water, already feeling thankful.

Gia submerged herself amongst the bubbles as she let her eyelids flutter closed, feeling relaxed and at peace. Gia placed her leg over the edge of the bathtub and rubbed her shaving foam over her stubbles leg. She careful began to shave her leg making sure to remove as much of the stubbles hair as she could, moving on then to her other leg repeating the same process.

Gia shaved under her arms and made sure to tidy in between her legs just to keep herself fresh and clean.. should she feel lucky once again she knew she was prepared. Gia hopped out of the bath and drained the water before jumping into the shower to wash her hair, considering she had just shaved in the bath she didn't want to be washing her hair with stubble hair or pubic hair.

Once washed Gia exited the shower and wrapped her huge bath sheet around her small frame, walking from the bathroom back upstairs so she could get dressed. Gia slipped on her underwear and bra and sat down in front of her mirror, plugging in her hairdryer.

With her hair now dry Gia applied her face and body moisturiser and got dressed into a pair of ripped jeans with an oversized T-shirt, a cardigan over top and her favourite pair of chunky black boots. This was very casual for Gia and nothing like what she wears when she is at work. Gia pulled her hair up into a high ponytail and swiped her chapstick across her rosy lips before heading down the stairs.

Gia grabbed her purse and phone and gave Henry a kiss and a pet before she took her keys and left the house. The air held a gentle breeze which was welcomed by Gia, a true spring day with sunshine but that colder breeze. Gia walked towards the bus stop as she collected the change from inside her purse.

The bus wasn't too busy which meant Gia could enjoy the short journey into town to meet with her parents. Gia hopped off the bus and followed the sea of people until she reached the restaurant. Gia peered inside when she spotted her parents already sat at a table, a few drinks on their table.

Gia pushed the large black doors open and walked towards where her parents sat, pulling out the chair from underneath the table and sitting down. "Gia you look lovely, we're already ordered you the carbonara with chicken and a tall glass of Pinot Grigio with a splash of lemonade" thank god for her mother.

Gia smiled and relaxed into her chair as she took a sip from her wine, enjoying the taste and the company of her parents. The service was amazing, not having to wait very long for their dinner to arrive. Gia didn't realise just how hungry she was as she dived into her spaghetti, the creamy sauce mixed with the light note of garlic made her mouth water as she ate.

Gia and her parents laughed as they finished off their meal, she was thankful for getting to spend time with her parents. Gia gave her parents a hug each in turn before heading back toward the bus stop, her hands seeming to move on their own as she brings her phone up to her ear, already dialling.

"Hey girl! What's up?" Becca chimed as Gia made her way towards a bench. "I've just been with the parents and I wondered if you wanted to come over tonight? We can have a chilled pamper night?"

Gia was happy enough to go home and sit with Henry all evening but she wanted the company with her friend, to be able to drink wine and wear an overpriced face mask and just not have to worry about anything. "I'm so down, we were actually going to surprise you and come over later anyways but Molly is on a date with Sam and Lola is babysitting"

The pair of them made an arrangement on timings and what they were going to do before Gia placed her phone back into her pocket and continued to walk down to the bus stop. The bus journey was smooth once again, there was a lot of mindless chatter but Gia didn't mind so much.

By the time Gia had gotten home she couldn't wait to jump straight into her most warmest and fluffiest pair of pyjamas and curl up on the sofa with her bed covers. Gia placed a few treats down for Henry and then made her way upstairs to get undressed.

Once Gia had got herself ready and made up the sofa with all the junk food and drinks and blankets she snuggled up into herself and began looking for something to watch on the tv. She settled on some reality show when she heard the front door opening, followed by "bitch I'm here!"

Gia laughed as Becca rounded the door wearing an all in one pyjama set with bright pink and purple clouds as the design. Becca placed down her bag and ran over to where Gia sat, jumping on her and giving her the tightest hug she'd ever had. "Let's crack open this bottle and get to pampering" Gia sighed happily just to be able to enjoy a girly evening without any stress.
