Chapter 4 - Next Day

          Last night was the absolute best night I have had in a long time.  The movie was good, what I actually saw of it.  Derrick and I were in a make-out session through the whole movie.  It was if the night stood still even if it was for only two hours.  I can still feel his sweet tender lips pressed on mine.  I would do it again in a heartbeat.

          OK I really need to stop day-dreaming about last night and focus on today.  That’s right, I almost forgot!  We are supposed to see each other today.  Sure hope he calls soon, I’m going stir crazy!

          I was sitting at my desk when I got woke out of my day-dream by my phone ringing.  RING! RING! RING!  “Hello” I squeaked.  “Hey what’s up beautiful?” came a familiar voice.  “Derrick, how are you?”  “I’m great!  Can’t wait to see you today,” he said in a sweet voice.  I replied “me either!  When you want to get together today?”  “How about you come over here to my house and we can chill.  We can watch t.v. or we can just talk, it’s all up to you” he said.  “Sure, where do you live?” I said.  “1556 Hollywood Blvd.  You know where that is?” he asked.  “Seriously?  I live about one mile from there.  I will be there soon.”  I replied.  “See you in a little then,” he stated as he hung up the phone.

          Oh my gosh!  He doesn’t live too far away, I think as I head towards the bathroom so I can freshen up.  I take off my pj’s and hop in the nice hot shower.  It was so refreshing, but all I could do was think about seeing Derrick again.  He has me hypnotized.  Just can’t stop thinking about that boy.  He should be ashamed of looking so hot and making it so hard not to look away from him.

          I finish my shower so I dry myself off and wrap the towel around myself and walk over to my closet to pick something out to wear.  This time I am wearing something much better than last night.  I choose a pair of denim jeans with no holes and a purple polo shirt with my new sneakers.  I next blow dry my hair and straighten it out.  My hair is down to my shoulders, but I still want it to look nice.  As I am blow drying it I can see my blonde highlights showing through the wet parts.  Finish with my hair and next I brush my teeth.  Can’t have stinky breath when he kisses me.  A kiss………oh wait what?  Sorry day-dreaming again.  Got to stop that!  Finally after an hour I’m ready to go.

          I walk over to the kitchen but my mom isn’t there.  I find her in the living room curled up on the couch wrapped in a blanket reading the newspaper.  “Hey mom,” I call out.  “Hey sweetie, sorry I didn’t make breakfast today.  I’m feeling under the weather,” she says.  “Oh no problem.  Do you need me to take you to the doc?” I asked.  “No I think it is just a little cold.  I took some Benadryl and took off today to rest” she said.  I said “oh OK.  I will fix you breakfast instead this morning.  What do you want mom?” I asked her.  She replied “you don’t have to do that sweetie.”  “I know I don’t have to mom but I want to for you.  You always do it and now that you don’t feel well I want to do something for you,” I told her.  She smiled and said “OK then can I have some scrambled eggs with cheese and onions and a slice of toast?”  I smiled back with my reply of “sure mom anything you want.” 

          I strode myself into the kitchen and started preparing the stove and the pans.  Then I cut up an onion and it made me start to cry.  I love onions but man do they make my eyes water.  Next I pulled out the eggs and cracked them into a bowl and stirred them until blended together.  Once they were done I added some Mozzarella cheese and let it heat to melt.  It looked so good I made some for myself.  The toast was done and I buttered it and put it all on a tray to bring to my mom.  I filled a glass with some orange juice and brought it out to her.
