BRAELYN'S EYES FLUTTERED OPEN to the sound of her alarm clock going off. It was five am exactly and she yawned as she sat up in bed. The hard duties of being a Sunday school teacher meant she had to be in the building fifteen minutes before seven to prepare the lesson for the day and organize the notes. So she had to be up even earlier in order to get ready for work.
Braelyn noticed the bed empty beside her and looked around the room. Since Takashi worked real estate he usually didn't get up so early. He worked based off scheduled appointments and usually went to work at about nine every morning. Braelyn figured he was probably downstairs so she got up, holding the cotton sheet to her naked body.
She went to pull open the bedroom door to search the house for him but saw a green sticky note sticking to the door instead.
Had to leave extra early this morning, met with a client a while ago and he contacted me again. I can potentially close a big deal today. And don't worry I already dropped Brielle off at your parents this morning. Have a great day at work.
-Takashi
Braelyn furrowed her eyebrows, Close a deal at five in the morning? She thought, it sounded really crazy but she was guessing this person must have been a celebrity or pretty important for Takashi to be out of his bed that early. Braelyn headed to the bathroom and dumped the sticky note. She set the shower and got in, washing her body and hair. In forty minutes she was out and had applied lotion to her skin.
Braelyn's outfit consisted of black flats, black panty holes and a long sleeve ankle length green dress. Her hair was slicked back in a ponytail with her rosary sitting on top of her chest. On the way out the door Braelyn got her purse and cellphone when she noticed Takashi's cellphone right next to her's. She took it, figuring he must have forgotten it in his rush out this morning. On her lunch break she would drive to his worksite and drop it off.
Braelyn got in her 1967 Volkswagen Beetle and pulled off. The car was pretty old but she's had it for years and didn't want anything else. The car was special to her. It was her first and only car. Her father had given it to her after she graduated from high school. The car was always in need of repairs but Braelyn didn't mind. She wasn't as flashy as her husband who rode around in a Lexus. She liked her Volkswagen just fine.
By time she got to work and set her lesson up, there were only a few minutes left until class began. Braelyn hung her coat and purse in the closet in the room and wrote the heading on the chalkboard. After a few moments the bell rung loudly as kids began to file in the room.
Braelyn waited a little bit until she saw most of the class was full and did attendance. Once she was done she clapped her hands together once and gave them a smile that could light a Christmas tree up better than any artificial lights. "Okay everyone, I hope your weekend was fun! Today I have something really fun planned for you! We're going to play a game!"
