I threw on a thin gray sweater and patterned scarf around my neck. I had on dark Levi's and black combat boots. And when fifteen minutes went by, I found myself in the bathroom applying makeup around my eyes out of boredom.
A half hour after getting off the phone with Prince, there was honking on the side of my four story building. I peeked out the window and saw his white Lincoln waiting for me.
Finally.
I took the elevator down and was smiling to myself before I even stepped out into the California night air.
I felt his eyes on me as I walked around the front of the car.
I yanked on the passenger's handle but the door didn't budge. I banged on the window and tried again.
Prince was playing games.
I bent over and met his smile through the window.
"Hi, there," he said.
I cocked my head to the side, smirking. "I can't hear you over the loud engine. Let me in, damnit."
He reached and unlocked my door.
I stood up straight and took a deep breath.
Prince was staring at me as I got in and buckled my seatbelt. Once settled, I turned and looked at him. "What the hell are you looking at?" I whispered.
"You always look like this at five o'clock in the morning?"
"Yup," I said, smacking my lips. "I sure do."
"Hm." He eased his foot off the brake.
I reached for the radio as the car started moving forward.
"Don't touch my damn radio."
I flinched as he smacked my hand like I was a child. "Excuse you."
