“Mommmmmmmy,” I whined, “Tomorrow is Friday. You know what that is? It is my first date with Derrick but I have nothing to wear!” I paced my room back and forth, with my mom and Jessica lying on my bed while Bentley was asleep in his room across the hallway. My phone vibrated in my hands, as my mom started to say something, “Hold on, Derrick texted me.” I stated with a smile.
Babe, you are beautiful. This may sound cheesy but when I talk to you I get this fuzzy feeling in my stomach. All I do is think of you. What the hell are you doing to me?
He is so damn sweet and cute. He has me feeling like a damn love sick puppy. “Damn girl, all you do is text Derrick lately.” Jessica laughed, my mom joining soon.
“Fuck you,” I said before replying back to Derrick.
Babbby boo, you’re just too damn cute. That fuzzy feeling is called butterflies and I feel them too. I’m hypnotizing you with my sexy-ness. Hehe ;)
I replied, locking my phone and continuing my rant. “Calm down, sweetie. Just stay home tomorrow and we can go shopping,” Mom said, like it was no big deal.
“Can Jess stay home too?” I asked, almost squealing.
“Of course.” Mom laughed. “Momma’s tired so I’m going to get some rest. Ya’ll need to, also. We have lots of shopping to do tomorrow. Love you, girls.”
“Good night, mom. Love you too.” Jessica and I said together.
“I got to tell you something.” Jessica said as soon as my mom closed the door.
“What it is? Please don’t tell me you’re pregnant!” I said frantically. “Damnit, Jessica. I warned you!”
She laughed, “Of course not, but Mike told me he loved me!”
“Awwww, that’s cute. Please, don’t get knocked up. He better not break your heart, or his nuts are mine!” I laughed evilly.
“Calm down. He won’t hurt me, I know it. As cheesy as it may sound I really, really like him. He is on my mind from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep. I can’t explain how I feel about him but he makes me smile. When I’m in his arms, I feel like I can take on the world. I know it sounds cheesy, but I’m in love with him.” She answered shyly.
A big grin stretched on my face. She was happy. They’ve been best friends since first grade and she’s always liked him but only I knew.
“I think I’m going to give it up to him…” She whispered, “It feels so right. They say you know when you’ve found the one, and I think I found him.”
Everybody thought she wasn’t a virgin but she was. It is true, I lost my virginity before my flirtatious best friend did. “Just be safe. You’ve seen what I’ve gone through.” I replied. She was my sister. Not blood, but still. I didn’t want her to regret anything. “I'm not saying that I regret having Bentley, because I don't. I love him and I believe he made me a better person. I just know how hard it is. Not only physically, mentally, and financially.”
“I know, sis. I’m tired, so let’s get to sleep.” She turned over, closing her eyes. I couldn't stop my mind from wondering about my life and how it would be if I didn't go to that party and I didn't get pregnant. I shook my head of that thought, knowing I couldn't live without Bentley. I continued thinking about my life and all the changes until my eyes closed.
My eyes fluttered open. I blinked a few times to adjust my eyes. I turned over and looked at the clock with a note on it. “I went ahead and took Bentley to daycare. I thought we could have girl time. Be ready at 12. I looked at the time and it said 10:30 am.
