Ellie's POV
beep beep beep
The sudden sound of the alarm echoed throughout my room and through my house
I shot up out of the comfort of my bed,, i'm pretty sure my neck shot up so instantaneously i ended up pulling a muscle in my neck
i swooped up my phone from the night stand and turned on my speaker
I smiled
'stuck with me' by the neighbourhood began to echo around the empty house filling up every dark, silent corner with the sweet rhythm
i smiled wider and wider and wider
and all my problems seemed to seep away
I did a twirl and a jump
I brushed my teeth, washed my face, touched my face up with some foundation to cover up my flaws
a feeling of discomfort roamed around in my gut.
i quickly frowned then shook my head and smiled while staring into my own eyes
i giggles and thought how ridiculous i was and shook my hair around to add some volume to my thickish curls and added hair spray and pretended to be a hair model
I tip toed back to my room and swung the closet door opened and walked inside
I set my eyes on my grey plaid pants
I then spun around around and gently picked up a black crop and nodded then threw those on
I danced over to my shelf as the song was ending i quickly picked up a caramel scented perfume and coconut lotion to apply
I walked over to my speaker and shut it off and transferred the music to my ears
While at it, my butler, Bertram, walks in
"Pardon me Ms Ellie, your father told me to remind you that he added another 50 dollars to your card"
i nodded my head while still moving my feet
"which one" i reply with a small giggle
"Very funny" he said, and before he walked away entirely he turned around raising an eyebrow and questioned
"what in bloody hell are you listening to"
i lifted my curls up from one side only to flex my wireless ear buds
"AirPods baby, i don't speak broke"
i said raising my head high trying my hardest to not break into laughter
We shared a chuckle and he shook his head in disbelief and humor
"now now Ms. Ellie,, what if your future partner is broke?"
i blush madly and duck my head
i heard him walk away humming a familiar tune
I crunch up as i heard my phone ring
dad 2
"Wassup pops" i shout as i stuff my bag with unbeachy items.
"Yeah yeah bertrum told me that daddy gave me mon- noo im not gonna go to a strip club" i remarked giggling
"love you too, bye bye" i sigh
I swooped up my white sneakers and practically slid into them.
I slid down the rails of the stairs
I look down at my credit card that i held in the palm of my hand, tightly gripping it
I stared, looking at the jumble of numbers that practically pop out and furrowed my brows
I grab it with my left hand that remained unbothered till now, and smacked my originally occupied palm with it then gently placed it into the back pocket of my plaid jegging like bottoms.
"Bertrum i need a ride" i exclaimed, the question echoing around the house
Although, it sounded more like a statement but i didn't bother to correct myself
i inspected myself in the mirror right besides the front door
I applied more lipgloss till i was startled by a rattle in the small table under me that held my balance since i was practically leaning into the mirror
Bertram's hand was there placing down two twenty dollar bills
I was midway placing gloss on my lower lip, the tube still in my hand when he looked up and smiled widely
"call an uber,, i'm heading to the spa"
I had forgotten my dads signed Bertram up for weekly massages on Sundays and silently chuckled to myself
"Enjoy" i smiled genuinely
The poor guy deserved it i mean- he was there for me ever since i got adopted
I finished putting lip gloss on then immediately called up a uber
I technically could drive
and it's not like we don't have the money to buy me a car
But i'm literally so clumsy i'll die by trying to avoid a squirrel or some shit.
The uber pulled up not even 6 minutes later and i hopped on and smiled widely at the man who looked about middle age.
He smiled back
"Where too ma'lady"
I chuckled and gave him my phone with the address
He quickly copied it down into his own device
"the beach huh"
He raised his eyebrow making eye contact with me as he handed me back my phone
I sighed and laid back changing the playlist
'Trip'
"yup" i finally replied
The ride was silent to the world
But for me i had my own little world of music soothing into my brain from both sides of my head
I saw the trees blur like a oil painting, as the we zoomed passed all of them
I saw the trees slowly decrease from view and the deep blue, sparkling body of water came into view
Not long after the car came into a stop and i handed the man the two twenties
"Keep the change" i winked and hop out the car
He looked down at the bills smiling
I smiled too; putting on the straps of my bag around my shoulders
I walked to the bar and asked for a margarita
I pulled out my fake ID and smiled at the man at the bar
He squinted them shrugged it off
He slid the alcoholic beverage over to me and i took a long sip of it while looking around
I then saw a blue haired girl who looked to be asleep
I don't know why but something about her was so intriguing
I placed my margarita down and slid out of the taller chair all while still staring at her
As i approached i saw her open book next her and i leaned over and smiled
"Penny for a thought"
