That Monday Night

Monday Night

I wake up to another basic Monday morning. I slowly sit up, trying not to wake my snoring best friend. She always sleeps in. I take some pain medication for my throat and slowly shuffle out of bed. It has been exactly 8 days since my surgery and yet I still wake up in excruciating pain. I grab a pair of low-rise jeans, a belt, and a decent top and head to the bathroom to get ready. I guess this isn't a basic or average Monday. I'm treating myself to a bit of shopping just to get out of the apartment. I grab my makeup bag and turn on some music while I get ready. 30 minutes go by and my best friend walked in, rubbing her eyes.

"Can your music be any louder, Miss Kimberly?" Morgan said in her classy annoyed tone. I chuckle and turn the music down a little.

"Good morning to you too, Miss Morgan," I reply in a playful tone. Morgan has been my best friend for 15 years now. We have our apartment in San Diego, we finally are away from our hometown catastrophes, and are planning trips around the world! Just like we wanted to when we were young. Morgan is like a sister to me, though we don't always get along or think alike, I still always think of her as a sister. I continue doing my makeup while I jam out to my music.

"Hey, Kimberly? I know you don't like going to parties but, there's a party going on later tonight you should come Kim!"

"No way. I don't do parties and you know that Morgan. I don't even know why you bother asking me when you know I'm going to say no to your offer."

"Pretty please go with me. You never do and always leave me to fend for myself!" Morgan says in her whiny voice. She did have a point though, I never go to any parties with her because I'm an introvert. I don't like seeing her get hurt in any way shape or form. I've always been the feisty one in our friendship so people wouldn't mess with her and we are in a different area.

"Ugh, fine! But, I'm only going strictly to keep an eye on you." I say annoyed.

"Really? Thank you, Kim!" Morgan hugged me from behind and hurried off to brush her long, dirty blonde hair. I know the real reason she wants to go. There are 2 guys here, the "devilish twins" or Tom and Bill. They are known for being straight-up horny whores who can't keep their dick in their pants. I guess you can say that is their reputation. I know Morgan has kept an eye on Tom. Morgan is the type of girl that you can't put down once she falls in love with a dude. I always support her and her decisions regardless of how I feel or think. Seeing her happy makes me happy and that's all that matters. I finally finish my makeup and brush out my hair and bangs, put on my shoes, and met Morgan downstairs for breakfast which was toast and bacon.

"Maybe you'll find a person or two that you can talk to at the party Kim! This is a great opportunity to expand your boundaries and meet new people!" Morgan says as she puts another piece of bread in the toaster. I give her my "you are kidding me" look.

"C'mon Kim don't give me that look, you know I won't be around forever so, you need to make some new friends!"

"I would rather die with you than meet new people," I say dull toned as I rolled my eyes. The thought of meeting new people sickens me. Talking to strangers is just too much for my poor little brain to handle! I eat my breakfast, throw on my shoes, and headed out the door before Morgan
grabbed my arm.

"Where are you going? The party starts soon!"

"I had plans to take myself shopping, you know to treat myself for once?"

"Oh, fine but please try and come back before 4 pm!"

I finally make it to my favorite little shop I normally go to when I need clothes. I spent about 30 minutes grabbing clothes and checking out. I had to speed home since I was going to be late and Morgan would get on my ass about being late. I decided to wear a black turtleneck and some jeans with my nice platform heels and my favorite jacket.  I parked my car, ran inside the apartment, and quickly got changed before I ran into an angry Morgan.
