Not So Normal

Chapter 11

I wake up on my bed. Stretching my arms towards the ceiling, and looking at the clock it says it 10 am. Wow did I really sleep that long? That's weird, the last thing I remember is helping Zuri, inviting Parker to dinner, and falling asleep in the car. CRAP I was suppose to walk home with Parker, oh well, we are going to have dinner together tonight. CRAP we are having dinner tonight. I grab my phone because we never worked out the fine details. But I see he beat me to it. I see a text from Parker it says,

Good Morning Beautiful! I'm looking forward to dinner tonight. My Dad is a Sue Chef out of town, so he offered to make dinner tonight. My place at 600 for dinner alright? My address is 1212 Lake Street, about a 5 minute drive from your place.

I send him a text back

Sounds great! See you then Babe.

Walking down stairs I don't hear any thoughts from my Father, which is unusual. When I reach the kitchen table there's a note and an envelope. The note reads

Morning Pumpkin. Hope your feeling better! I had arrents to run before dinner tonight. I already know the details because Parker stopped by at about 8. In the envelope there is $120 dollars. Charlotte will be over at 11 to pick you up and go to the mall. Use the money to get your nails done and get a cute outfit for tonight. The only thing that I ask of you is to find me a nice tie to wear. You always find me the best ties. Have a fun time Brielle!

Love, Father!

YES! I love going to the mall. Especially when I'm on a mission. I go and grab an apple and head upstairs to get ready. Char will be here in about 30 minutes. I turn on the TV and the News is on. As I begin to shuffle through my clothes figuring out what to wear, the weather comes on.

"Its 80 degrees out right and tonight it will about 72 degrees. Have a great day!" Says the weekend weather man.

Could this day get any better?! I decide to put on my favorite light blue jean shorts with cream stars on. Then I pull out my light pink tang top, white bra, and cream shirt. Carefully putting it on then looking in the mirror.

Damn I look cute. Looking at my clock, I have 5 minute left. Running to the bathroom, I put on deodorant, perfume, light pink eyeshadow, and black mascara.

DING DONG!

"Come in Char!" I shout as I run down the twisted stair case."

"Hey girl! You look cute! I hope your ready to go shopping! I Scheduled a Mani Pedi appointment for 2-330 at L.A. Nail Salon in the. So we have a couple hours to eat something and find you an amazing outfit!"

"Sounds fun!"

"How much money did your dad give you?"

"$120 bucks! Let me grab my purse, phone and wallet quick. I will meet you in the car."

"Alright my Step-Dad is driving today."

I run upstairs and grab all I need. Running back down stairs I grab the money and leave the hpuse. Making sure to shut and lock the front door.

"Good morning Brielle!"

"Morning."

"We need to stop at the bank quick and pick up Char some money. But the bank is right by the mall."

"Yeah! I've been babysitting. I'm taking out $105 dollars."

"How much is the mani pedi?"

"$35 dollars."

"That's a decent price, for an hour appointment."

"Yeah not bad at all."

We then reached the ATM, and get the money for Char.
