I shivered and cried to myself softly as I walked. I only wanted to sleep. I was ready to resign myself as a girl for life if only I could get some ...omfort. The rain broke in time for sunset. The sun shone on my skin in hues of orange and yellow, making the red leaves still on the oaks of the forest shine like fire. It was then I realized my mistake.I was walking towards the sun. I was going west. Oh God.I had been walking all day! This would never end! I was going to die in these. The tops were soon off, and they were laughing about something and happy with the cool and tasty wine, when the doorbell rang not once but twice in an urgent sort of way. They exchanged glances, and Mandy being nearest the door to the lounge, slipped on her shirt and went to answer whoever it was. On the doorstep stood old Harry from next door, a towel to his left hand and blood dripping from a bad cut, the luckily cold salad meal was abandoned for a moment and the neighbours cut treated, it. It's as simple as that. Every time she talks, or laughs, orsmiles, it takes my breath away. We're almost polar opposites, though. For instance, she likes to dance andsing, and I'm into sports, though I'm not a tomboy. One thing we DO have incommon, though, is our love for shopping. We could spend hundreds ofdollars on clothes at any time if we had the money. Both of us like to lookgood. Most of the time we do. At least she does. She could make anythinglook wonderful. She is so sweet, too.. I guess I was just using it as an excuse to act out. I had to know where Mom was at so I waited for her answer."Actually I slept really great. I had a very umm, intense dream, but I woke very satisfied. Best sleep in a long, long time." she said smiling and looking down at her plate. Satisfied? Satisfied? Did she mean sexually or did she mean well rested. I really had no idea but I thought I better leave it alone for the time being.The rest of the weekend and the following week went by as if.
