I sit up with a sigh,it was 7:20 right now but because I stayed up all night crying I felt like shit. I was taking this break up very hard, forcing myself out of bed, I take off my nightie walking into the bathroom. Due to my mood I filled my bathtub with warm water before slipping in,mom will understand if I'm late to breakfast. The steam kissed my skin and I sighed in relief,I lazily washed myself, feeling my stiff muscles relax. I didn't need to shave because I had a wax appointment atleast twice a month. Few minutes passed of me just sitting in the water,when I decided to get out and avoid a self induced wrinkle. I settled on a pair of jeans short and a small blue top,my bikini and suncreams were already parked. Me and the girls had alot planned out for today and just prayed they didn't notice my damp mood,I slip on my flats before heading out of my room. "Lizzy you look nice" mom smiles, making no comment on my late arrival,that could be understood because neither dad nor Ethan where on the table. "Thanks mom" I smile from the compliment,pecking her cheeks before sitting down. "Ethan must still be asleep" mom murmurs and I took initiative to ask, "should I go get him?" "No let him sleep he can microwave his food when his up," she says and I raised my brows in shock but dropped the matter. "Okay,what about dad?" I ask serving myself a plate,"umm" she sighs, gaining my full attention "he left for a business trip this morning and won't be back for 2weeks". "What?! He didn't mention anything like that?" I blurt out shocked,"yes,that's because he got the call last night even him was pissed but the young kwin insisted" mom frowns looking down at her plate. Please tell me this isn't a punishment for my attitude yesterday,I will have to speak to him first thing on Monday morning he can't be so childish. I say a quick prayer before picking up my spoon,"How will you cope mom?" "Don't be silly Lizzy" she chuckles, rolling her eyes"this is not the first time your father is leaving on business trips". "Oh! That's true" I blushed embarrassed,dad was always traveling to be honest, "I just hope you visit your friends this time" I change the topic shooting her a warning glare. "I'm the elder here" she scoffs,"I'm aware" I shrug before finishing up my food quickly. "Bye mom love you," I call out, rushing to keep my plates,"love you too give my greetings to Sarah and Geraldine!" "I will!" I called back before running to the door with my beach bag. We agreed to meet at Geraldine's house for two reasons one,her elder brother was in town and his hot,two her house is somehow in the middle of Sarah and I. I pulled out of our driveway into the road,turning my radio on. I hummed to the song playing,as I placed one of my hands out of my rolled down window,enjoying the cool breeze on my skin as I drove. Soon Geraldine's white bungalow, surrounded by a black gate came into view,I horned at the gate until Amos their security man opened up. "Good morning Amos," I smile at his familiar ageing face, "morning Ms Morgan" he smiled back with a curtsey. I drove around their water fountain before parking closer to their main door. Leaving my beach bag in the car, I jogged up their front porch heading for the door. I pulled out my phone from my pocket, ringing the door bell as I checked our last group chat for any information. The door opens to reveal Gabriel, Geraldine's hot elder brother behind it. "Hi Gabe" I smiled,"Lizzy? What a wonderful surprise" he chuckles pulling me into a hug. "Yeah,it's being awhile you abandoned us for college" I joke pulling away and walking in, "nonsense" he smirks, shutting the front door.. "Gera!" I yell, "She's in her room with Sarah" he informs me, taking he spot on their couch with a tv on,"okay thanks" I smiled at him before skipping down the hall towards Geraldine's room. I pushed the door open not bothering to knock,Gera and Sarah were sprang out on the bed. "Hey bitch" they giggled as I jumped on the bed joining them. "I missed you guys so much" I sigh hugging Gera who was closer to me. "Same here" Sarah pouts leaning in for a hug,"first let me say I got a job," Gera smiles,"really?" "Yes,it's at a fancy restaurant,I'm the cashier since I'm good with numbers and all that,second Trisha's family are going bankrupt". "No way!" Sarah gasped, sitting up,"yes way, they came into the restaurant where I work and they couldn't even fort the bill,I had to pay since our manager was costing a scene. "That's a nice thing to do, but why would they go to a restaurant if there knew they couldn't pay?" "I think they didn't know,the bank had frozen their account due to debt" "okay whatever, what are we doing?" I ask, "First let's hit the mall it's being too long since I went on a shopping spree" Gera giggles. "Sure why not" I shrugged,we all jump out of the bed,heading out of the room. "Where are your parents?" "Their anniversary was today so they took the weekend to go to Paris,they won't be back till Wednesday". "So it's just you and Gabriel?" "Yep," she sighs as we turned the corner coming into the living area. "Where to girls?" Gabe asks from the couch. "We are having a girl's day out don't expect me till 6" Gera winks at her brother before leading us out. "Is it me or is Gabriel more handsome than I remembered?" Sarah pouts,"you guys are aware, having a crush on my brother is breaking girls code right?" Gera states in disgust. "Get over yourself Gera,his gorgeous" I teased before walking towards my car,"can't we just take one?" Sarah gestures to all the three cars. "Sure,but then we'll all have to come back here," "that's not a bad idea,come on I will drive" Gera bounced to her Jeep and we followed behind. "This car is sooo manly" Sarah pouts climbing into the backseat while I took the front. "Missy! shut it or I'm kicking you out" Gera points a finger to her, "whatever" she scoffs, crossing her arms with an eye roll. I smirked at them,they were so cute always fighting like they couldn't stand each other but having the strongest bond. "What are you smiling about?" Sarah raised her brows, "nothing, Gera are you still pinning over Matt?" I changed the subject, placing the attention on our driver. Matt was in the basketball team back in highschool , he was a tall,handsome and dark skinned guy,definitely Gera's type. But the guy hates her guts,something to do with her being too white, I personally think it's a shitty excuse but if you saw how our teachers treated him, you'll hold the same grudge for us white folks. Racism still very much exists and I'll never get why? We'll kill for a nice tan but somehow we hated people who were naturally born with it. "Lizzy" Gera sighs gripping the steering wheel tighter,"it's okay G his not worth it" Sarah calls from the back. "His is" I cut in, honestly, "Matt is the perfect guy and Sarah try to think from his perspective,being put down every day by white people like us". "Yeah,I get it but Gera has being nothing but nice to him,he should grow some balls,and push his hate away". I hate to admit it but Sarah was right,Gera wasn't a racist so why was Matt always pushing her away. "Can we like... not talk about boys today,it's girls day?" "Sure Gera I'm done with boys anyway" I leaned into my seat, looking out my window. "Join the gay club" Sarah jokes,no she's not gay but she's crazy and she has held onto the dream of having a gay bestie either form they might come. I turn to catch Gera rolling her eyes but smiling at her,soon she was parking the shopping mall. "Let's make papa and mama broke!" Gera yells "That's not possible but okay" Sarah teased. Her mom was a surgeon and her dad was a pilot. They made good bucks but Sarah was home alone most of the time but atleast she knew they loved her. "At least let's try" Gera jumps down from the car,"I'm still shipping GETT so you know" Sarah jokes. Gett was the ship name for Geraldine and Matthew and it was border line cute. "What's taking so long Lizzy?" They snapped me out of my thoughts, "nothing" I jump down, closing the door,"let's go shopping".
