Chapter 3

The next morning I woke up with the sun streaming through my curtains. Opening my eyes to look at the clock and it said 10:05 am. I stretch then push aside the covers and walk over to my window. It's beautiful out and the sunlight touches everything.

I turn up my music in the bathroom and jumped in the shower.

After my shower I walk into my closet and pick out a simple pink and lime green summer dress. Then grab my gold Greek style sandals that make a perfect lunch date outfit.

I walk down to the kicthen to make some coffee and turn on the radio. Twirling around the kitchen as I grabbed fruit from the fridge. As I was pouring coffee I had the feeling like I was being watched again, so I turned around and saw a dark, red eyed figure. I nearly screamed but it vanished before I could. I looked around, my heart pounding and took some deep breaths. Shook my head and pushed it out of my mind.

I poured a second cup of coffee and left it there. I sipped my coffee and ate my fruit, hearing a door shut upstairs.

"Good morning Rose" I said to her.

"Good morning Marina" she said taking the cup of coffee I poured for her.

"How did you sleep?" I asked her.

"Good but had some freaky dreams. Oh, how do I look?" I slowly turned for her.

"Very cute! Where are you going"

"My lunch date with Bo you goober" I laughed.

"Oh right! Right! You and Mr. Kissy face"

I blushed like crazy and continued to eat my fruit.

"Will you do something cute with my hair? Half up and out of my face?" I asked her.

"Of course Marina, I will work my magic " Rose said as she ran upstairs to her room and she came back with a basket of hair stuff.

"So where are you two going?" She asked.

"I have no idea, Bo will be here at noon to pick me up" a smile crept onto my face as Rose pulled my hair out of my face and pinned up in an elven kind of way. A few tiny braids and some simple yet elegant way of being pulled back.

"All done, what do you think?" She asks handing me a small mirror.

"Oh my goodness! I love it!" I walked to the bathroom for a better view.

"You really do have magic hands Rose! Thank you so much!"

"It helps that you have great hair" she said in a matter of face way.

We sat at the breakfast bar and talked whole we ate. Not too much longer we hear movement. Two sleepy girls walked into the kitchen.

"Good morning sun shines, coffee?" I said as I got up and grabbed two cups.

"Cooofffeee" Alyx said as she sat down and looked very zombie like.

"Caffeine yes please. Need to wake up" Lilly said as she rubbed her eyes. I poured the coffee, creamer and sugar for each then handed it to them.

"So when is Bo coming?" Alyx asked after a few sips of her coffee.

"He should be here any minute now" I glanced at the clock.

"Where is he taking you?" Lilly added

"I have no idea, I will find out when we get there"

"Oh a surprise lunch date!" Alyx said as she smiled from ear to ear.

Just then the doorbell rang.

"He's here!" They all squealed at once.

I walked over to the door, unlocked it and opened it to reveal Bo. Wearing a green cotton button up shirt with the top two buttons undone, blue jeans, black cowboy boots and a tan cowboy hat to match. His smile made me want to melt.

"Good afternoon Marina, are you ready to go?" He asked

"Hello kind sir, yes I am just let me grab my purse" I stepped aside and motioned him in.

"These are for you" he blushed a little and handed me a beautiful lily and daisy bouquet with so many colors.

"Oh my they're beautiful Bo. Thank you!" I smelled them and smiled at him. I took them into the kitchen and the girls gasped at the flowers. Quickly I had to shush them since he was a few steps behind me. I walked to the sink and pulled out a vase then filled it with water.

"Good afternoon ladies" Bo said

"Good afternoon Bo" They said.

"Did you all just get up?" He asked.

"All of us, except those two" Alyx said as she motioned toward Rose and I.

"Oh man, you ladies can party" he laughed.

"Yes we can!" Lilly added.

"Oh but pay for it later" Alyx said holding her head.

"I'm ready when you are" I smiled at Bo

"Oh, of course. See you ladies later" he said tipping his hat.

"Bye!" They all said.

"Behave while I'm gone. Love you all" I yelled.

"We love you too!" They yelled.

"I'm ready to enjoy this sunshine" I said.

"Me too!" He smiled at me.
