The sun woke Kayla an hour before her alarm was supposed to go off. Sleepily she stumbled from her room and entered the small kitchen where Emma had already finished breakfast.
“I’m getting my hair done today.” Emma said coolly.
“Oh?” Kayla asked. She could tell her sister was still upset over something but didn’t feel the urge to get into it quite yet. Besides, Kayla was still feeling a bit upset over the fact that Emma showed no interest in Kayla and Scott’s date when before she was bursting with happiness for the two. “How long will it take?” Kayla asked as she pulled a cup from the cupboard and started to fill it with freshly prepared orange juice.
“Why?” Emma practically exploded. “Why is it so important how long I take? Don’t you already have a date planned out with Mr. Moneybags?”
Now where had that come from? “As a matter of fact I do have a date with Scott tonight.” Kayla answered back in a snotty tone.
“Is he going to pamper you with little trinkets again? Is that why you like him so much?” Emma asked as she thrust the bag that contained a single bottle of perfume in Kayla’s direction.
Quite shocked at the outburst Kayla walked over to Emma and snatched up the little bag. “He was just being nice.” She assured.
“Don’t you mean he was trying to make you feel special?” Emma taunted.
“We cleared all that up last night. Tori is just a jealous ex.” Kayla defended. Why was Emma acting like this?
“Oh I see. So you get to be showered with gifts from Mr. Moneybags while I get to sit alone all night?” Now the truth was out…Emma sounded a bit jealous herself.
“I thought you were happy for me?” Kayla protested. Emma stopped dead in her tracks. Her voice changed and her eyes softened. “You’re right. I am happy for you. I guess I started to feel sorry for myself. You get to go out with a man who can buy you anything and I just get…”
“Tom.” Kayla finished Emma’s sentence but immediately regretted saying it.
“I love him…I really do!” Emma claimed. “It’s just that…we will struggle, money will always be a struggle for us and if you marry Scott, well…money won’t be a problem.”
“Who said anything about marriage?” Kayla quickly added. She could feel her face turn a bright shade of red.
Emma finally smiled. “You don’t have to say…the thought is plastered all over your face. Now, I’m going to get my hair done.” Emma stood and was almost out of the kitchen before she turned back and added, “And I am very happy for you.” She smiled and winked and then she was gone.

The day inched by as slow as molasses but the time finally arrived and Scott was walking up to Kayla’s door with a lovely wrapped gift…a beautiful pearl necklace.
When Emma answered the door his breath caught in his throat when he saw Kayla standing behind her. She had on a light pink t-shirt and dark blue jeans. Nothing fancy but still, she looked beautiful.
