Here Comes the Sun: Chapter 6

You have absolutely no idea how long it took for the rest of Wednesday and Thursday to go by. I tried to keep myself busy with odd jobs around the apartment, and it was not easy. I even spent time down in the bar on Thursday, and I had off that night.

Friday finally rolls around and I am a mixture of nervous and excited. I woke up late, around noon, to get ready, even though I didn’t actually need to be downstairs until 8pm. I already fed Milo and made myself some breakfast, consisting of scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast. After I ate, I took a shower and now here I am, standing in front of my closet, trying to decide what to wear. I still have about 6 hours to waste before going down to the bar. Morgan is already down there with Meg taking care of deliveries. I throw on some sweats and sit down at my laptop to do some ad and logo designs I had been putting off.

Wow. Who knew 5 hours could go by that fast? It’s 7pm and I find myself back in front of my closet, deciding what to wear. I try on at least 15 different outfits, and not one of them looks good enough. I finally settle on a tight dark denim skirt with a light blue backless halter top. I wore my hair down with slight curls, and applied a small amount of make-up. By the time I finish getting ready, it’s already 8:30. I feed Milo, and head down to the bar.

Sweet Jesus.

The first thing I see when I hit the bottom of the stairs is Ashley sitting at the bar while Meg flirts with her.

Wait, what?

I take in the scene before me: Morgan is behind the bar helping the four other people inside. Ashley is sitting on a stool with her elbows on the bar talking to Meg, who is leaning over the bar, pushing her floatation devices together and shaking her bottle-blonde hair out of her eyes.

Oh, no she isn’t.
