Summer Love

Monica

* Ring Ring Ring *

I groggily blinked my eyes open , 'who could be calling this early' I thought as I glanced at my alarm clock it read 8:14 am

Aunt Lori Calling , my phone blared her ringtone , I silenced it and tried to go back to sleep but I remembered she was getting married soon and I didn't know the date !

I quietly picked up the phone , making sure I didn't wake up my 7 year old cousin Kari

"Hey , good morning , aunt Lori , how are you?" I asked trying to sound as awake as possible

" Hey sweetie , I'm great , I'm so glad you came down to Puerto Rico , The Island of Enchantment, as you know I'm getting married today around 5 at, El Castillo de las Flores"

" oh yes I  was just starting to get ready, " I lied , 'oh crap I didn't know it was today , I still have to buy a dress and get everything done , OH NO , I'm dead'

" Well I'll leave you to it , see you soon , gorgeous , bye "

I ran like a lightning bolt and stormed into my other aunt Eli's room " WAKE UP ! " I screamed at the top of my lungs , she jumped up at the last snore " WHAT , WHAT , " she asked frantically " are you alright , has something happened? " she worried

" Aunt Lori is getting married TODAY at 5 !!! Hurry we have to hit the stores before it gets any later "

Without a second thought or response I jumped into the shower , and quickly got dressed with a white and blue flowered summer dress with three horizontal slits in between my breast , making them look good but not to provocative , I slipped into my knee high creme gladiator sandals , and walked out screaming at my aunt Eli to lock the door behind her that I was gonna wait in the car .

As I waited , I pulled down the mirror , I was an okay looking girl , according to everyone I was beautiful but I didn't see it that way , to me I was just a regular 15 year old ,I have long naturally wavy black hair with the exception that today it was straight , usually I wear glasses to frame my face but  currently I had on grey contacts that looked as real as if they were mine . They complimented my big, round, almond shaped eyes . I have thick eyebrows that most girls would draw in and big heart shaped lips , the color of rose petals.

I dozed off into a nervous thought ' What if i'm late and I don't find anything ? Why is aunt Eli taking so long ? '

Just then the sound of two doors opening ripped me away from my daze, my aunt Eli and my other cousin jean who's 8 jumped in , she hit the gas pedal and zoomed off to the San Patricio Plaza

We weaved through the crowd making our way to a small store in the right of the entrance ,my aunt went straight to her  section as I quickly ravaged through tons of dresses that were either too showy or too enclosed , as the minutes passed and so did my patience I finally look upon a pale pink flower embroiled elegant knee length dress , I headed towards the fitting room and ripped of my clothes sliding into the beautiful, fragile material , one glance at the mirror and I knew this was the one , automatically I let out a heavy breath waited for my aunt to get her outfit and paid at the cashier , heading towards another store for my baby cousins clothes

By the time we made it home it was already 3 , I started to straighten my aunts hair , and doing Kari's curly mess

Once done I hopped in the shower , retouched my hair  and took my make up bag since I had to be leaving the house at 5:30

I made it to the wedding In the pink dress with strappy  creme and gold Michael Kors heels that matched my MK watch , my hair was up in a high pony  tail with curled bits of hair hanging down my face

I made my way up the stairs with my belly churning , "who will I find and meet today?" I wondered...
