After all, it's the middleof the day in broad daylight. I finally say "eff it" and get out (dammitFirework, telling me to open doors!). I grab my purs... and swing my legsout. Bam, I am out!With each click of the heel, I gained confidence. The gust of windblowing up my legs and into my dress carried me away and my heartpattered like a nervous beat to the girly songs I was blasting in thecar moments earlier.I was admiring my look through the reflections in store windows.Walking, I noticed a cute. It was six months ago. At first a lot of flirting, then sexy online conversations. Then talk about our dissatisfactions in life. Then it changed. She pulled back. I suspected she decided she was not interested in me romantically, but for some reason we kept talking. We openly resolved to become friends, and that is what we did. Great friends. Friends who can talk about anything, who share everything. Friends who cannot wait for the next email or text, who smile in a goofy way when one arrives.. Both Olivia and Soo Hong flinched instinctively in response to my glare and the severity of my tone. Ignoring their reaction I continued."I got rid of them!" I declared once more. "I decided that since your husband and your in-laws wanted nothing to do with me and my family that I would send them away. Right now they should be waking up in the caves down in the valley. I'm certain that they're not enjoying the surprise." But you didn't get rid of us," Olivia muttered softly. "Why didn't you get. I had packed a cooler and as I crossed into Missouri where I could buy booze, I stopped and picked up a four-pack of wine coolers. The next four hours were spent thinking about what might happen the rest of the night and listening to 60's music on my radio. We had made plans to meet at a KFC near her home. She did not want to give me her home address till she was sure that she wanted to get fully involved. I could understand that. We had seen each other's pictures and we told each other.
