Linda's POV
I opened my eyes slowly. It's morning.
"Morning beautiful." Brandon said making me smile.
"Morning." I replied.
Last night was amazing. Who knew Brandon had those moves!
"Linda, I want to ask you something." Brandon hugged me tighter. I nodded for him to continue.
"Can you be my girlfriend?"
What?! Oh my. Oh my.
"Yes. I'll be your girlfriend." I leaned in to kiss him but then I remembered that I haven't brushed my teeth.
"What?" He asked.
"I haven't brushed my teeth." I told him trying to got off the bed.
"Okay. Let me freshen up. I'll see you later okay." He said and I nodded.
"Bye babe." I teased.
He gave me a kiss on the cheek and left.
I have a boyfriend. Me. I have a boyfriend!!

"Casey? How are you still standing?" I asked Casey who didn't look like she wasn't drunk yesterday.
"You promised me a spin with the car!" She yelled.
"I'm kinda busy right now. I can't."
"What are you busy with?" She asked frowning.
"Cleaning."
"Man. You should hire a maid. You know what? I'll be back later." I knew it. Casey and cleaning up? Ha!
"Okay see you." I said and she blew me a kiss.
.....................................
After cleaning I laid down on the couch. My phone rang.
Dad?
"Hello?" I answered.
"When are you resigning?" I rolled my eyes.
"What if I don't want to?" I asked dryly.
"I don't care. If you don't resign at the end of the day I'll....."
"You'll kill me just like you did to that man?" Ah Linda!
"It was you who was there." I kept quiet. Dad laughed.
"If you know what's good for you, you'll resign."
"Why do you hate me so much? I'm your daughter!" He scoffed before he hung up on me.
What the...?
Maybe I should resign.
"Where is that wine when you need it?" I took my car keys and drove to the shops.
I parked my car and went inside the liquor store. I bought a box of my favorite wine.
I payed and went back to my car. I started the engine. Something doesn't feel right. Why is the engine sound so funny?
I started the engine again and it was normal. I went home only to see Casey standing on the front porch.
You have got to be kidding me. She did come back.
"The keys please." Casey demanded.
I rolled my eyes. I did promise her a spin. But I'm so tired.
I gave her the keys.
"Be back before 3. Brandon is taking me on a date."
"What!?" She screamed.
"Yeah. We made it official today." I played with my fingers.
"We'll talk later. I gotta take this baby for a spin!!" She got into the car and drove away.
Why is this girl my friend?
.................................
It's been two hours since Casey took my car.
I'm getting late.
I took my phone and called her.
"Heya!!" She yelled.
"Casey! Where are you?"
"Relax. I'm almost there. This baby is awesome!!" She screamed.
I breathed in and out to control my anger.
I heard her laugh.
"Uhh Linda?"
"What!?" I asked in frustration.
"The brakes don't work." She said .
"What do you mean? Casey don't play like that."
"I'm not playing, they won't...." She screamed.
Suddenly I heard a crash.
"Casey! Casey! Casey this is not funny answer me!!" I cried.
Silence.....
