Mackenzie's POV
Waking up the next morning, I realize that I slept in pretty late seeing as it is just now going on 11 in the morning. Getting out of bed, I grab a bath towel and a change of clothes with undergarments before heading to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Slipping out of my clothes, I hop into the shower and turn the nozzle, feeling water spray my body. "Ah," I screech when the cold water hits my body, waking me up. Definitely wasn't expecting that. I quickly turn the nozzle, the cold water now turning hot. With a sigh, I start to feel my body relax under the stream of hot water. Standing under the shower head, my eyes close as I start to think about my date with Ben yesterday. It was amazing. The helicopter ride, dinner, the fireworks on the roof top...just getting to be with Ben made my night. My body swarms with love and compassion for this man. I don't know, nor do I care, but I am falling deeply and madly in love with Ben. My past three relationships never worked out, so even though I love Ben...I love Ben, there is still a part of me that is afraid that my heart will get broken...and I don't know if I can handle another heartbreaking experience. After relaxing for about 10 minutes, I begin to wash my hair and body, not forgetting to shave my legs. After getting myself all clean, I get out of the shower and begin to dry myself off before slipping into my clothes. (Outfit Below).
After getting dressed, I blow dry my hair before throwing it up in a bun, beginning to start on my makeup. Not really in the mood to do all of my makeup, I just put on mascara and some blush...plus lip balm after brushing my teeth. Throwing my towel in the dirty hamper, I make my way to downstairs, seeing most of the girls sitting down there. "Hey guys," I smile, making my way to sit next to JoJo on the couch.
"Look who's finally up,"
I laugh shaking my head at Lauren's remark. "So how was your date?" Caila asks me, multiple heads turning towards me, eager to hear about anything to do with Ben. "It was...amazing," I smile, feeling my insides turn to mush at the thought of Ben. "He took me on a helicopter ride, seeing all of Las Vegas, then we had dinner and I told him about my past relationships and that stuff...then he took me up to the roof, and kissed me just as fireworks went off," I sigh dreamily, hearing some of the girls coo at me, feeling JoJo wrap her arms around me. "That sound amazing," She tells me, hearing murmurs in agreement.
"It really was,"
Glancing at all of the girls, I feel like someone is missing, but I can't put my finger on who it is. "Is somebody on a date?" I look at JoJo, seeing her nod her head at me. "Yeah, he's with Becca," Lauren says. I mumble a quiet 'oh' as I lean my head against JoJo's shoulder. Out of everyone here, I've gotten super close to Lauren, Caila, Becca and JoJo, now more so with JoJo just because we've basically been through the same stuff with relationships, and we bonded on that. It's weird though. Us girls come into this, all of us strangers, wanting the same thing....and person. So it does make it a bit harder to win Ben's heart if you become friends with other girls who are trying to do the same thing. "Well...I need to redo my nails, anyone want to join?" I ask while standing up, hearing murmurs of agreement as JoJo, Lauren, Emily and Caila stand up, following me up to our rooms. Plopping down on my bed, I grab my bag of nail polish that I brought along with me. "Alright girls, choose a color," I grin while opening the bag, picking out a light pastel green color for myself. "You guys this is going to be a long day," Lauren sighs from her seat on the floor.
