So I noticed I always say that Brandi looks UP at Bryan, but I never put exact heights, so Bryan is about 6 feet 3 inches, and Brandi is about 5 feet 8 inches.
--------------------------
After the door closes behind me I lean my back against it and just stare into the dark living room with a huge smile on my face. My parents live out of the country, but I'm so responsible that they don't worry about me living in the house alone, so I don't worry about someone catching on to how my date went.
After I sit there for about two minutes I sprint upstairs and scream at the top of my lungs in pure happiness. What was this boy doing to me? When I felt his lips lightly brush my forehead I thought I was going to faint. My legs got wobbly, my sight blurred, and it felt as if there were butterflies in my stomach trying to explode out. And that was just from a kiss on the FOREHEAD.
I laugh loudly at myself for feeling this way about a complete stranger - well not necessarily a complete stranger after tonight, but still. Ever since I met him, he is constantly on my mind. As much as I wanted to hate him this morning, now I know that I could never hate him.
It is well past eleven and seeing as I don't have any homework from school today, I strip down to my undies and slide into bed. As my head hits the pillow I have one last thought about Bryan and then my eyes close and I am asleep.
'BEEP BEEP BEEP!" my alarm clock screams at me to wake up. It's 5:30 in the morning.
"UGH!" I groan and throw myself out of bed. Without putting clothes on - remember no one else in the house - I walk out of my room and to the bathroom, which was to the left of my room. I turn on the shower very hot - just the way I like it - and take off my bra and underwear. After running my brush through my hair to make sure there were no knots that would complicate the washing process, I step into the hot water.
I stand in what seems like a sauna for about five minutes before I actually start the clean process. I start at my hair, washing it with shampoo and then with conditioner and repeating. After that I wash my face, scrubbing it with a cleanser that has microscopic stones in it to better clean my pores. I move on to washing my body and I grab the body sponge that is hanging from the hot water handle. I squeeze coconut scented body wash onto it and begin to rub down my body. After I felt I was clean enough I shut off the water and step out, grabbing the towel hanging on the towel bar.
I wrap myself up and go back into my room, walking over to my vanity and turning on my straightener and sitting down on a stool in front of the vanity and start to blow dry my hair. After my hair is as dry as it will get, I pull my straightener through my long brunette hair until it is pin straight.
Once my hair is straight, I pull out my makeup bag and put on light eyeliner and mascara - just enough for school but not too much. I get up and wander into my walk in closet to figure out what I'm going to wear today. I look around and spot it. I pull out a dark gray three quarter sleeve shirt with a scoop neck, and I pair of medium wash skinny jeans. I put on a pair of bright purple flats and a necklace with the same color jewels in it and head downstairs.
Some people may think it's odd that my parents just let me live alone with no supervision, but what kind of trouble is a girl with no friends going to get into? I walk into the well-stocked kitchen and grab the box of captain crunch cereal and a bowl. After I pour the cereal into the bowl I also add milk and I sit down to eat it. I wait about three minutes before digging in so that the bottom was a little soggy.
I look at my watch and see that it says the time is now 7:20 AM. I get my purse, grab my keys, and head out the door to my car - I didn't want to drive yesterday because I didn't want to show up to early. I get in my cherry red '07 Chevy Camaro and when I turn my key the engine roars to life. I LOVE my car. It was my sixteenth birthday present from my parents and the best present anyone has ever gotten me.
I drive the short distance to school and when I arrive, all eyes are on me. I blush slightly as I get out of the car and lean over to grab my schoolbooks from the passenger seat.
" Damn girl!" I hear a familiar voice say from behind me and I immediately smile and turn around.
"Damn as in the car, or damn as in you were checkin' me out just now?" I smile up at Bryan and give him a hug.
"How about both?" he whispers in my ear.
"Well, I know my car is absolutely amazing, I on the other hand simply don't apply."
He just frowns down at me and grabs my hand to lead me through the front doors and I can feel all eyes on us. I blush and look up at him again as to not look back at everyone. When we get to first period we sit down (remember I sit right next to him in all my classes) and he starts chatting away.
"So did you enjoy dinner last night?" he asks and looks as if he actually didn't know that I loved it.
"Are you kidding me?" I gasp. "I had an amazing night Bryan!"
"Good," and with that he leans over and kisses my cheek and turns around to watch the teacher.
With that little brush of his lips against my cheek, my heart goes berserk, my breathing gets labored, and I feel my cheeks getting redder and redder. I look around the room to see everyone looking at us and ignoring the teacher, Bryan on the other hand was staring straight ahead with the hugest smile on his face.
Throughout the day I kind of just decide to take Bryan's many compliments - it took less energy - and just go along with it.
We walk through the hallways holding hands and making each other laugh, and when lunch rolls around, we sit together at a secluded table alone. We talk about how happy we are and how much fun our date was last night.
He then gets very serious and says, "Brandi, I have another surprise for you tonight."
"Oh yeah? What kind of surprise?" I ask with a giggle.
"I can't tell you 'cause then it wouldn't be a surprise anymore, but do you mind if I come over to your house tonight instead of going out?"
"Um... sure. What time?" I ask a little confused. Why would he want to give me my surprise at my house?
"I'll come around six is that OK?"
"Sounds good," I say just as the bell rings signaling us to go to our next period.
I don't get to really talk to him - or rather nag him - about the surprise the rest of the day because our teachers all have us pretty busy, but at the end of the day he walks me to my car and once again kisses me on the forehead telling me he will see me at six.
I head home and run up to my room to get ready. I just took a shower this morning so I decide not to take another one and just run my straightner through my hair to make sure it was as straight as it could be. I refresh the little make up that I have on and head downstairs to watch some Oprah.
After the show is over I still have an hour until Bryan is supposed to show up, so I decide to go upstairs and change clothes. Since we were staying in tonight and we got all dressed up last night I decide that sweats sounded amazing and put a pair of dark gray ones on. I also put on a tight fitting white t-shirt and I go back downstairs to watch more TV and wait.
Just as the show I am watching closes I hear a slight knock on the door and I get up to open it.
