"Lord have mercy!" Vanessa exclaimed while shaking her head in amusement. "Will you ever let it go? I will be doing something first; getting engaged."
Jalissa shrugged good-naturedly and then lay back down. She yawned. "Have fun 'cuz…even though it's going to hurt like hell."
Vanessa scowled and then decided to check her bag one more time. Scotty said he would be there to pick her up at 8 a.m. sharp and then they would drive to the mountains. It was barely 7:30 but she couldn't keep still and kept walking to the window to look out for his car.
She silently listed off everything that needed to be done; called grandma yesterday to tell her that she was going out of town with Jalissa to celebrate her birthday, packed the two negligees that she had gotten from Fredrick's of Hollywood, bought aspirin in case Jalissa was serious and it did hurt.
