I never thought that I'd think a person was refreshing, and I'm not talking about that, 'I just took a drink of cold water after playing outside all day long' type of refreshing.
I'm talking about the feeling of fresh bedroom sheets that hug you in...

Sometimes the best part of a vacation is when you're making your way home.
Unfortunately for me, the moment I arrived at the airport with Joliè and Daja, was the same moment my mother grounded me... Loudly. In front of the entire airport.
I haven't been grounded since I was 16 years old and I'll admit, I truly thought my pussying out moment during bungee jumping was gonna staymy most embarrassing moment with Joliè during the week.
Girl, was I very wrong.
No, that came when Mom grabbed my arm-like a toddler-and blatantly told Joliè that I would have to see her in a month because I wasn't allowed to leave the house for the next 2 weeks, and then when I tried to argue she reminded me that I had work starting back the next week after.
I don't think I'll ever feel as humiliated as I did when she drug me out of the airport. Even Daja tried to act like she didn't know me while my mom treated me like I had just run away from home and abandoned our family.
Mom did end up embarrassing Daja by screaming for her across the airport when she didn't immediately follow us.
She almost alerted the airport security, but we both made sure they knew Mom was joking.
Even when she definitely wasn't.
Apparently she was literally planning to hold me and Daja hostage until we got back into our regular routines.
Which now meant I was sharing my room with my sister.
I've never had to share my room for extended time ever and I was not looking forward to it.
I was very excited to get home and sleep in my bed, alone. Though, that was only if Joliè hadn't accepted my offer for one last sleepover, but that plan was also busted with my new predicament.
To say mom was unhappy with me was putting it extremely lightly, but since I'm a grown woman who respects her mother, I took my punishment without complaining...
Until she told me seeing Joliè was off limits during these next two weeks.
Then we had a new very serious problem, because what good is telling a woman that you want to be with them just to not see them for almost an entire month?
New flash, I'd imagine it's not good at all.
It's not like I couldn't contact her, as I have the means to do so, but it's not the same as being able to take her flowers, meet her for lunch, or even randomly pop into the jewelry store just to see her.
Yes, I could secretly go and see her or you know just act like a grown woman who can make her own choices, but my mom has been through enough and the last time I tried to secretly go somewhere, she was calling me before I got 10 minutes down the road.
