Chapter 10

"Mom, can you pick up more juice for Izzy too?" I asked her as she made a grocery list.

"Yes. What should we do for dessert tonight?" Mom asked.

"Ice cream!" Izzy said jumping up and down.

"Ok, ice cream it is." Mom said adding it to the list.

My phone dinged on the counter.

Damien: What can I bring tonight?

"Damien wants to know what he can bring..."

"Oh, honey, I don't know." Mom said.

"Maybe a bottle of wine?" I suggested.

"You can never have too much wine!" Mom said with a nod.

Mia: Something easy, maybe a bottle of wine?

Damien: Sure. Do you want a specific kind?

Mia: We are having steak, potatoes, and broccoli. Anything that will pair well with that.

Damien: Merlot it is. Can't wait to see you.

Mia: XOXO

The doorbell rang and I went to answer it while Mom and Izzy finished the grocery list.

"Do you have coffee made? I'm dying!" Amy said as she walked in the door.

"You know it's almost noon, right?" I asked her.

"So? I'll just make a fresh pot if there isn't any." She said.

I just rolled my eyes and laughed.

"Ok, I'm going to go, I'll be back in a bit." Mom said getting her purse.

"Mommy?" Izzy said.

"Yeah, honey?"

"Can I please have my Frozen beads we got yesterday?" she asked.

"You asked so nicely." I said kissing her head. "Maybe Auntie will help you with them while I'm in the shower and getting ready." I said looking at Amy.

She just nodded as she counted out the number of scoops of coffee she was putting in the coffee pot. I got the box down, and the bucket of bows and clips and put them on the table in the living room.

"I'll be out in a bit." I said to Amy as I passed.

"Shave above the knee!" She shouted.

I walked back to the kitchen and crossed my arms, giving her a look that said, 'really?'. She just gave me a big smile. I shook my head and walked back into my room and to my bathroom.

I took a long shower, and it felt good to just stand there. I spotted my pink razor and just looked at it for a minute. I was planning on wearing pants today... but maybe I should shave, just in case. Twenty minutes later I had pretty much shaved my whole body. I hate it when Amy gets into my head.

I dried off, and rubbed lotion all over too, so my skin was super soft. I blow dried my hair, and straightened it, and put on mascara.

My phone dinged again, as I walked into my room.

Damien: Do I need to dress up tonight?

Mia: No. Come comfortable. Amy will probably still be in sweats when you get here. Lol

Damien: See you soon.

I put on a pair of my colorful yoga pants, and a white t-shirt. My shirt was a little big, so I tied a knot on one side.
