July...
I came completely undone, melting into the warm water and letting the smell of vanilla and orange zest relax me. I seriously love bath bombs, best invention ever.
"It's like I'm swimming in an orange-cicle", I said to myself loudly.
I do not want to leave the bath but I know I'll get pruny quickly. I have to keep up my appearance, it's my money maker after all.
After the water started to get cold, I got out to dry myself off. I wrapped my hair up and then started to apply cream on my face.
"I can't believe it's the Fourth of July already."
It'll be the first time I'll be spending it without my family and friends. I'll be alone. Things are not all bad though. The agency I work for paid for my apartment. It's not lavish like I would prefer but it's a roof over my head. The area I live in is busy, not upper-class but not the ghetto. Sometimes I spend my nights just people watching. The other girls I work with are nice but I don't bother hanging out with them. I could feel the competitive vibes when I'm around them. I'm not into making new friends anyway. Still though, I wish I had someone here to talk to. It's not the same talking over the phone or on video chat.
Tonight though, I'm going out. I'll celebrate the Fourth of July by myself and I'll have a blast.
I fished getting ready, applying my make-up and picking out a cute outfit. I fixed up my hair into a messy bun and then I was out the door.
I walked down the streets, seeing everyone selling food and other items on the sidewalk. People were hollering out all at the same time to get your attention. I learned to ignore them and watch out for scammers. I usually do my shopping online anyway. Better deals since you don't really make much as a model like people think. I already knew that though and didn't come here for the money.
I ended up buying some poke since I was hungry. I need to keep to a specific diet to keep my weight in check. I feel bad not telling Javi and Sarina but, the agency did tell me I had to lose some weight. I've been doing it in a healthy way but it's hard since I'm already thin but for tonight, I'll eat whatever I want. When I discovered poke, I fell in love. It's good and healthy...I guess. I don't know how many calories are in it but, I don't care.
Crowds were already gathering at the waterfront, waiting for the fireworks to start. I should have come out earlier, I might not have a good view. Even though I'm 5'7, I'm still not tall enough to see.
"Hey beautiful, let me get your number. It's a nice night to get out of here", some creep came over to say.
"No interested", I said without looking at him.
I'm so used to getting hit on, it doesn't faze me.
"Come on, don't be like that. I got a good place not too far from here", he said.
