Rodeo Dinner

"Bec, are you going to that dinner?" Marie said

"What dinner?" I asked

"The one for the rodeo.." Marie said holding in a laugh

"Oh. I don't know why" I replied

"How do you not know. It's tonight" My friend said finally laughing

"I don't know" I chuckled

"If I wasn't getting scrubbed up I'd smack you" My friend said

"I know" I smiled

"My brothers going. When's the last time you talked to him?" Marie asked

"Honestly. Not since labor day. And it's like middle of November" I said

"Hmm, I wonder why" She said

I just shrugged and finished wrapping my surgery pack. Giving my friend a nod, she headed into surgery and I clocked out for the day. Heading back to the house, I looked at my phone and had a missed call from Melissa. So I called her back.

"Hello" She said

"Hey you called?" I said

"Are you dressed yet?" Melissa asked

"Girl I just got home from work. I don't even know if i'm going" I said

"You have to. We find out if we made it into the actual circuit tonight" She sighed

"I mean, I don't even know if I want to make it in" I said

"I know girl, but he's in it already, so the trailer already goes. C'mon please" Melissa said

"If I can find something to wear by the time I get out of the shower then sure" I laughed

"I'll come to your house" Melissa said

"Okay, i'll go get washed" I said

"Hurry, see you soon" She said

"See ya" I replied

Putting my phone down, I walked to my room and stripped in the bathroom. Putting my scrubs to the side, I hopped in the shower and washed all the stains off me. We had a day at work, i'm not even going to get into it but i'm a pro dog wrestler. Also master cat wrangler but ya know. Once I was fully washed and shaved, cause leg stubble, I hopped out and dried off before wrapping the towel around me. Heading into my closet I heard my phone ringing yet again.

"Hello" I said

"Hey, are you at the dinner thing?" I heard Connor said

"Dude i'm not even dressed yet, and frankly, I don't even know if i'm going" I said

"Why?" He asked

"I just got done work and I would only know like two people" I said

"Oh. I'm about to head over do you want a ride?" He asked

"Did you not hear me when I said I don't even know if i'm going" I sighed

"Yeah, do you want a ride" He said

"I guess. Give me like 10 minutes to find something to wear" I said

"You're not dressed? Aren't girls good at that" Connor chuckled

"Not me. I guess i'll see you soon" I said

"See you" He said

Putting my phone down, I looked around and found a long sleeved floral-ish dress. I guess this is nice enough. I didn't even know I had this. Do I try? Fine. Putting on a bra and underwear, I put the dress on then looked at shoes. Grabbing a pair of calf socks out of my dresser, I got my cow boy boots that I wear there each week and honestly wear them almost every where. Very comfy. Looking in the mirror, my hair is a mess and well. I am, as a whole, a hot mess. Running a brush through my hair, I tamed it slightly and put on mascara. That's all I know how to do honestly. I heard my phone buzz and saw I had an i'm here text from Connor and I looked in the mirror again. Good enough. Putting my phone in my boot I walked out to the living room and grabbed my wallet off the island. Putting that in my other boot, I locked up the house and put our extra key in its hiding spot. Jogging down the steps, I got in the truck and looked at the kid.
