The Heart of Cars

Chapter 19

I wake up slowly and stretch my arms over my head to wake up. I get out of bed and my feet touch the cold wooden floor between my bed and bathroom. I splash water on my face and am in the middle of brushing my teeth when I hear a knock on my door. I go out of my bathroom and open the door in my clothes from yesterday and brushing my teeth. "Morning Bedhead." I nod my head in greeting as Sam walks into my room. I go into my bathroom to finish brushing my teeth. "What are you doing here?"

"Your dad called. He wanted me to stay here until he came back. The king told him about you feeling paranoid. I knocked on your door when I got here last night but I guess you were asleep."

"What do you mean last night?"

"Your dad got the call from the king when he was at the mall and he called me from there. I came over here as fast as I could so I could catch you awake but I guess I didn't."

"Did you knock on my door right away when you got here?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Oh, nothing. I was just wondering how I could've fallen asleep so fast." He nods and lays down on my bed. "Your bed is so comfy." I laugh and hit him with a pillow. "Lazy bones." I go to my closet to pick out a dress for the carnival. Oh wait, I just got a new dress for the carnival. Where is it?  "Did dad tell you where my car was parked?"

"No, but he did say something about some bags being in the kitchen, on the counter."

"Alright, thanks." I go out to the kitchen and see the bag on the table. I grab it and go back into my room. "Okay, out."

"Why?"

"I have to shower. So out!" I point to the door. He frowns and grumbles as he walks out the door. I lock the door behind him and put the bag on my bed. I go into the bathroom and turn on the shower. Once, I'm done with my warm shower I get out and wrap myself with the oversized towel. I go out into my room and take out my two dresses. I put my black dress for tomorrow in my closet and I carefully set out my red dress on my bed. I see a piece of paper fall onto the floor and slip under my bed.  It's probably just the receipt. I go and jump on my bed so I can reach my phone on my nightstand to text Brittany to ask her if she was going to come over to help since I'm hopelessly lost with this stuff, even if I pretend I do know what I am doing. I get an answer back right away. Of course! I'm on my way up. Dad is with me. :( I smile at her text and go out into the living room where Sam is watching TV. "Nice towel J."

"Nice couch Sam." He laughs and I open the door to let the very annoying knocker in followed by her dad. "Oh goody, you showered. Now its time for...."

"Lunch."

"Ugh! Fine, I guess eating is important." I laugh and go into the kitchen.  I start making sandwiches for all four of us and put them on the counter with nacho cheese Doritos and regular lays chips. "Food!" I call as I grab a sandwich and some Doritos. I go into my room, knowing Brittany will follow, and sit on my bed. "I can't believe you can wear a towel around him and not be fazed."

"He has seen me in a sports bra and short shorts. I think a towel is fine."

"What?!?! Why would he see you like that?"

"Because me and him went as Daisy Duke for Halloween one year, that year you ditched us for a party."

"Oh yeah! Anyways, he didn't see the dress did he?"

"No, don't worry." I finish eating and put my plate on my nightstand on top of Brittany's. She stands up and gets to work on my hair.
