Just so we are clear you pronounce the boys name m•mur•ick
Ring! Ring! Ring!
I sat up quickly in a daze. I tiredly rubbed my eyes and reached for my phone.
It took me a while to find it, but when I did, I swiped across the screen to anawer the call.
"Hey girl!" My best friend Janice yelled through the phone.
I held it away from my ear to cringe from the loud noise.
"Can you hush. I just woke up." I whispered.
"Just woke up? Your momma is going to kill you."
"What do you mean?"
"The new neighbors, brownies,
lemonade. Does that ring a bell?"
Shoot
I pulled the phone away from my ear to check the time. It was....eleven in the afternoon!
I jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom across from my room.
I quickly tried to brush my teeth and wash my face at the same.
It only resulted in toothpaste on my cheek and soap in my eyes.
Jesus christ! It buurrns
I rinsed out my mouth, eyes, and face.
I dried my face off on my towel and turned on the shower.
I didn't try to fix my hair, and just threw it up in a messy bun.
"Latoya!" Janice yelled through the phone.
Shoot. I forgot she was still there.
I ran back into my room and picked up the phone.
"Sorry boo. Im trying to hurry up so I dont have to meet my maker today."
As you know, I was supposed to go to the store for my mom and get some groceries.
I had to make brownies and lemonade for the new family moving in across from us by twelve before she got home.
I personally think a good hi is enough, but my mother thinks otherwise.
I had about an hour to get this stuff done.
I searched through my closet for something to wear.
I decided to go with a purple tank top and some black shorts.
"Girl, hopefully they have a son. I need me a man." Janice said through the phone.
I shook my head as I headed to the bathroom with my clothes, under garments, and phone.
"The last thing you need is a man." I laughed, putting Janice on speaker.
"Hush, you know you want one. Maybe they have boy twins our age. Then we can go on double dates and....."
Janice carried on speaking while I stripped and hopped in the shower.
I took a quick military shower.
When I got out, Janice was still rambling on about sexy twins and date locations.
I dried off and got dressed in my clothes and headed back into my room.
I threw my phone on my bed, and my dirty clothes in the black hamper in the corner of my room.
"Which perfume should I use?"
"The black one that smells like sugar and flowers." Janice said.
I picked up the perfume bottle and spritzed my body.
