Brittany
February 12, 2013
"I'm going to go see my sister." I said to Brandon. "Alright." He pecked my lips. "See you on Valentine's Day." He smiled. I smiled too and left out of his apartment. My little sister, Alyssa, and I always hang out together a couple of days before Valentines Day. We get each other gifts and take each other out to eat. Now that I have a boyfriend, it's a lot different. I got into my car and made sure that my gift for her was still here. I turned my car on and drove off.
"Brittany!" She smiled and ran to me. "Hey Al!" I hugged her tightly. Alyssa is a year younger than me; 18. She's graduating high school this year and will be going to UCLA with a soccer scholarship to study English. "How's school going?" I asked as we walked to my car. "Good." She nodded and got into the passenger's seat. I got into the drivers seat and started to drive.
I took Alyssa and I to the spa. We ended up going into the sauna, getting massages and facials, and got our nails done. After putting our clothes back on, we went to the restaurant they have upstairs. "Ready to exchange presents?" She asked me. I nodded and picked up the gift I was giving her. We exchanged them and I started to open mine. She got me some chocolates and gift cards to Target and Starbucks. I picked up a small pink bag and untied it. It was a silver charm that said sisters with a pink heart. "Al." I smiled. She smiled too. "I love it. Thank you so much." I said and put it on my bracelet. I stood up and hugged her tightly.
After getting some ice cream, I dropped her off at home. "Thanks for hanging out with me today." She smiled. "It's no problem, I love making time for you baby sis." I smiled back. She laughed and walked inside after waving goodbye.
