betty
i slowly get out of bed. the light shining in through the open blinds.
i check my phone and see that it's 9 am.
i groan when i hear inez and dylan out in the kitchen giggling.
don't get me wrong. i'm so happy for them but i'm always third wheeling. it gets on my nerves.
plus they've been together YEARS now and they're still in their honeymoon phase.
i'm starting to worry that phase will never end.
i get up and wash my face and brush my hair and teeth and make my way out into the kitchen.
"oh! can you guys maybe not do that in here?" i ask when i see them making out.
inez giggles and dylan turns a slight shade of pink.
"she has risen! want some pancakes and bacon?" inez asks
"yes please!" i respond suddenly in a much better mood.
"so...dylan has plans with some of his friends today so i was wondering..." inez says dragging out the so.
"what if we had a girl day? i think we deserve it!" she continues
as much as i'd love to spend some girl time with her i've got things to do.
"ugh i want to but i have so much laundry and cleaning that i need to do." i respond with a pout.
"oh my gosh please no! you deserve this time, you've been working your ass off lately." she reasons
"plus i'll help you clean. that's how desperate i am for this!" she continues
"okay if you insist!" i give in easily.
"yes!" she fist pumps
"can you be ready in an hour?" she asks
"yep! what're we doing?" i ask
"i was thinking spa day! i've always wanted to do an actual full on spa day." she tells me
"ooh like nails and everything?" i ask
"yep, massages too of course." she giggles
"how are we paying for this?" i ask like a reasonable adult
"girl. your always worrying about money-
"hey! i just have expenses to worry about!" i interrupt her
"ok whatever, but i have two gift cards from my mom for this exact purpose. so you don't have to worry about it." she responds
"you're not serious!" i exclaim
"dead serious. be ready in no more than an hour!" she shouts as she walks to her room.
i finish my breakfast and head to my room to get ready.

four hours later
"that was the best massage i've ever had!" inez tells me as we walk up the stairs to our apartment.
"um...that's the only massage you've ever had." i tell her
she laughs "ugh don't ruin the fun."
"i'm also super impressed with these nails!" she continues as she takes my hand to look
"i know! they're so cute! this was actually so fun." i respond
"i know i had a blast." she says as she pushes the door open
