Am I In . . . Love?

“Vanessa . . .”
I didn’t move, I didn’t care, all I know was that I didn’t want to be woken up.
“Vanessa?!” the voice whispered – shouted in my ear.
I groaned.
“Wake up!”
I threw my arm at the voice, but it didn’t go away.
“I said, wake up!” the voice said, “Before I make you get up.”
I groaned again.
“Fine,” she said.
Instantly I shoot up and just as I did, a bucket of cold water was dumped on me.
I squeaked.
I shivered, grabbing my blanket, wiping my eyes, but realize it was wet too.
I wiped my eyes with my bare hand and pushed back my hair.
Valerie.
“Oh, you are so fired after this!” I said, making my hands into a fist.
“No if I get you ready.” Valerie said, pulling me out of bed, “We
are shopping today for the Night of Engagement Party.”
I groaned and followed her to the bathroom.
Everything was prepared already.
“Do you really have to doll me up, just for shopping?” I asked, scratching my head.
“Yes! You have to look perfect everytime! 24/7!” Valerie said.
I got into the bathtub and Beth started messaging, Vicky started
putting facial cream on my face and Valerie started setting up the make – up kit.
I groaned.
“Beauty has to be perfection,” Valerie continues, adjusting the make – ups.
I rolled my eyes.
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“So how is everything going?” Sunny asked.
“You mean Jason?” I whispered, feeling my stomach tighten.
She nodded.
I shrugged.
“What is that suppose to mean?” Beth asked, shrugging just like
me.
“It means I don’t really know if you could call our relationship
good or bad.” I said.
“Are you kidding me, girl?” Valerie asked, turning around to face
me and crossed her arm.
“What?!” I frowned.
Valerie sighed, rolling her eyes. “You were SOOOO close to be
falling for him.”
Vicky sighed and groaned.
“Really?!”
She started squeezing my muscle harder.
“Ouch! That hurts.” I winced.
“You were so close!” Valerie exclaimed, throwing her arms in the
air, “And now you messed it all up!”
I sunk a little lower in the bathtub.
Valerie sighed and hopped onto the sink table.
I sat up, “Hey, wait, how did you guys knew I was falling for him?”
I flushed, but I was glad that the facial cream is covering my face.
“It’s pretty obvious. And also, it’s pretty obvious you guys kssed.”
Sunny said.
Beth chuckled and continued messaging.
“Hey! You were spying!” I exclaimed, flushing more.
“No, but rumor goes around very quickly.” Sunny said.
I sighed, sinking lower into the bubbled bathtub.
“Oh, come on, we need to hurry up.” Vicky said.
“Do I have to?” I said, twisting my aching feet from a 4 – inch high
heel, and shoving the Louis Vuitton Neverfull GM bag back to Sunny.
“Yes!” she said, pushing the bag back to my hand, “It 100%
matches your dress!”
“No, please, I lose bag so easily.” I said, trying to come up with a good excuse.
“No, its ok, we can always order more. It’s almost like it’s for
free.” Sunny said, smiling.
I sighed, “But this bag is super expensive, I can’t afford to lose it.”
“Ok, than take very good care of it.” Sunny said, pushing me to
the door with the bag in my hand.
“Fine, if I take the bag, I have to the change shoes.” I said, trying to make a deal.
“No, now let’s go. We are almost late.” Sunny said, leading me
down the steps and to the front door.
The door was opened and surprisingly, the sun was out, strong.
I squeezed my hands together with my bag between my wrist and my elbow.
I pray, I pray, please don’t let Jason be there! I really don’t want to
see him right now!! I said, rubbing my thumb with my index finger.
Grow up and be tough women! You have to apologize and I
can’t believe you guys are fighting 2 days before the Night of Engagement! Layla scold.
I sighed and frowned at myself.
But . . . I am really sorry . . . and I feel scared, what is going to
say to me? I thought, walking slower.
Just apologize to him and he is going to forgive you Layla
said.
But – . . .
“Vanessa, honey, looking beautiful today and, god, do I love that
bag!” Maria exclaimed, throwing herself at me.
I just stood there awkwardly, blinking at her.
Sunny disappeared.
Great!
“We’re going to have a wonderful time shopping! We are going to
find you the picture – prefect dress.” Maria said, linking her arm into
mine and dragging me towards the front door.
I crossed my fingers.
Don’t let him be there!
Oh. My. God. We just agreed that you would apologize!
I’m sorry, but I am really not ready and I am really scared
Than when you are going to apologize to him?
I don’t know, but next time? I questioned myself.
It’s not that bad, just apologize and it will be the end of it
I breathed in deeply and held my head up high, while my heart is pounding 100 mph.
“Oh, Vanessa, I almost forgot!” Maria exclaimed, laughing at
herself.
We stepped out the house and the breath that I realized I’ve been
holding was let out.
He’s not here I thought, feeling my heart slow down a little bit.
I gulped.
Just my luck today!
But I felt more terrible about how happy I felt when I didn’t see
him. I knew I should have run back to him and apologize for what I said.
