Night's Out

Chapter 7. Kendall

The shower pelted my back as I washed my body in my favorite Rose and vanilla body wash. The warm water relaxing my muscles and I loose myself thinking about tonight. I'm going on a dinner date with a guy. And not just any guy this is my best guy friend. And not just any guy friend. This is Ash Seal! Lord how did I end up at this point. Ash is Ash. It feels so werid but at the same time feels so right. I start to wash my sides. Sighing thinking about Ash. Even with the warm Water droplets hitting my face I can still feel my cheeks warming thinking about him. We've been friends for years and once we hit Senior year together. I don't know I always seem to blush or almost get flustered being around him. It's a feeling that I've learned to live with but never seems to go away. Could I be in love with Ash? God no! It can't be! Why Ash?! At this point I don't know what my feelings are. All I know is night I'm going to eat out with him. This isn't any different than all the other times I went out to eat with Ash. But why does it feel so different? Damn it all. I put the sponge back on the shelf and look up for a moment letting all the hot water shower into my face. The biggest therapy for me is dripping herbal flower oils onto the shower floor and letting the steam raise the fragrance up into the air claiming the bathroom and shower with its floral smelling steam. I've always had a lot of hobbies and one of my main hobbies has always been growing herbal and medicinal plants and flowers. I don't know why. Herbs like Lavender, Chamomile, Rose, HoneySuckle and so on. Tending to my herbs has always been almost therapeutic to me. I mean just because I work for a company such as monster doesn't mean I don't have a life outside the office. starting with I'm always making new combinations of herbal teas or mixtures. Always trying to make new fragrances with oils. And when Greens Burg holds its annual Farmers Market on the whole Main Street block. I always tend to bring in some of my organic honey from my little bee hive and my Tea pouches and room fragrances. It's always been a small side thing of mine. And it very much brings me joy.
I wake. Breaking from my little day dream and turn the water off. I grab the towel draped on the top front of my walk in shower and dry my hair real quick. After I finally got the towel wrapped around me I take a deep breath and inhale the last of the Herbal Floral smells. Lord I could live off the smell of lavender and Roses. I open the white wooden door leading into the hallway. I walk to the end of the hallway turning left into my bedroom. The walls of the room being painted a soft grayish pink color. The room containing my queen sized bed along with my dresser and closet, desk, and book shelf. A few other loose things but not very important but the room had a feminine touch to it but not super feminine. I'm not one of those girls who will have nothing but chic fabrics and such along with bright colored walls and furniture. Not like I can afford it even if I wanted to. But still I liked the way my house and things were. I am a bright colored person just don't want to make who ever visits my house develop eye problems from my room is all. I guess it's just not my style. I walk over to my closet door and gently pull the two French cherry wood doors open exposing clothes hanging up neatly on the rode. I kept all my nicer and more expensive clothes in here as to not get them wrinkly or lost. Plus this cherry wood French doored closet was made and gifted to me by my grandpa. With a little bit of care but rush I move the hangers side to side looking for the right outfit. I didn't own a lot of really nice or super expensive clothes cause last I checked. I don't grow money. But damn. If I could grow a money tree it would be smack dab in the middle of all my herbs and lord would I be set for life. But sadly that's not a thing. Right before I'm about to give up and just throw on jeans and a nice blouse I find this super cute dress. I pull it out and I smile with approval. It was a pretty knee length sun dress with sunflowers on it and a tiny little black ribbon on the front top part with a cute light brown belt.
"Perfect" I couldn't help but say to myself I place it on my bed and crouch down to the bottom floor part of my Closet and look at all my shoes till I find some cute tan sandals to go with it. I approve this for sure. I smile and disrobe my towel from my body and smile thinking about the outcome of this dinner. And honestly I could think of this as two friends just pulling up to a nice Chinese restaurant to eat. But in reality every time we go out to eat wether it be wings or a 5 star restaurant in the main city. I always seem to get butterfly's. Always.
