I woke up at about noon. Gracie was still asleep on my bed. I yawned and stretched. I got in the kitchen and got a glass of orange juice. I turned on the tv and started cleaning the house a little bit. My parents have always been really wealthy. I live in a big house that my job pays for. Not to mention, my job pays for everything. Money from my parents, and the great pay gives me all the freedom to do whatever I want whenever I want. I have a basement in my house, it's pretty bare expect for a fridge and a couch. There's an older tv down there too. The main floor has 2 bathrooms, a few storage rooms and the kitchen, a living room that has an amazing view. Upstairs is my bedroom along with 2 other guest rooms. A half bath in each, and walk in closets. I have a balcony that looks over the city as well, which I love to sit and watch the cars go by. But, regardless of how nice my house sounds, Ryan's was a palace. Huge, seemed like there was room for everything there. Chandeliers, thousand dollar rugs, indoor pool, amazing. I'm the only one here, so I don't need all of that extra pizzazz. About 45 minutes later, Gracie finally comes out. Her eyes are only half open and she's holding her head.
"Hey sleeping beauty."
"Shut up." She says. She flops on the cushion next to me and sighs.

"What did I do?"
"Well, you have 3 different guys waiting for your call, a stain in my backseat which I'm sure is from you, and makeup smeared that makes it look like you were sent through the dishwasher."
"Thanks...but 3 guys? Wow."
"I know..."
"What day is it?"
"Sunday."
"Really?!"
"Yep."
"So work tomorrow?"
"Yep."
"Great..." She nearly jumps off the couch. Then slowly goes back down, cursing at her migraine.
"I remember one thing...you and Ryan?" My heart flutters at the thought. I explained everything to her, even though I was a little confused myself.
"Yes! I knew you were going to get together!"
"Ohh, stop it..." I said.
"Honey...your life just started because of him! It's about time you got out of that boring sad shell."
