ALMOST LOST
Chapter 4
After the b-ball game all the guests left and I decided to get in the shower. Since a shower was connected to my room, I didn’t have to walk down the end of the hall to the other bathroom. The hot shower relaxed all my muscles so that I could have the most relaxing sleep. I was happy that tomorrow was the last day of the week. We had Friday off for some holiday so I planned on spending the day with Brit doing girl stuff. After my shower I wrapped my body in a towel and walked into my room. I pulled out a pair of under garments, my pajamas, and my Enchanted Apple lotion. After I applied my lotion I put on my blue snowflake cami pajama with the snowflake logo on the shit. The cropped top was relaxed but flattering at the same time.
Since my whole purpose for spending the night at Justin’s house was to spend time with Britney I decided I might as well go spend some time with her. I headed to her room to see what she was doing. I walked across the hall to her room and knocked on the door. She opened it and she was dressed in a lilac chemise with the Victoria secret logo, crisscross straps and elastic back and had the matching rap, robe, wrapped around the chemise, nightgown. When she saw it was me she immediately pulled me in the room and sat me on the bed. She had a very excited look on her face. I giggled at her excited ness.
“Girl me and Lance had a very interesting conversation.” She said as she smiled brightly.
“What was the conversation about?” I asked.
“Well I told him that I had more than ‘friendly’ feelings for him.” She said and just stopped talking.
“And? Girl you better not leave me hanging?” I said.
“He said that he liked me too and we hooked up!” She squealed.
“I’m so happy for you. It about time y’all got together. I was getting tired of telling you that they boy was single and that you needed to let him know how you feel.” I said.
“I know, I know but what about you. I have known you for a while and I have never seen you with a long-term boyfriend. To think about it, Justin has never had a long time girlfriend either. You know what? Y’all would make a very good couple. I mean you know everything about each other and you both are attractive. People think you are together anyway and I know y’all have feelings for each other.” Brit replied.
“Look, a lot of people think a lot of things. I mean for a while people thought you and Justin were dating hell they even thought you were married to Prince William and we all knew you weren’t. Yeah Justin and I have feelings for each other. We love each other but only as friends. You of all people should know that.” I said.
“Say what you want but I know that y’all will get together. Since y’all only have two weeks of school left I bet that y’all will get together before summer is over.” She said.
“So what do I get when you lose?” I said.
“When I win I will get the satisfaction of seeing my best friends in love. And if I lose I will stay out of business that concerns you and Justin getting together. Deal?” She asked.
“Deal.” I said. We continued our conversation but what we didn’t know was that Justin was listening the whole time. I also didn’t know that he realized that he had feelings for me. After me and Britney finished talking I went into my room and took my journal out of my bag. My journal was usually where I wrote my poems and let all my feeling come out on paper. Once I had my journal and a pen I started to write a poem:
Phenomenal Woman
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size
But when I start to tell them
They think I’m telling lies
I say
It’s in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my step
The curl of my lips
I’m a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That’s me
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please
And to a man
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me
A hive of honeybees
I say
It’s the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing in my waist
And the joy in my feet
I’m a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That’s me
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much
But they can’t touch
My inner mystery
When I try to show them
They say they still can’t see
I say
It’s in the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style
I’m a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That’s me
Now you understand
Just why my head’s not bowed
I don’t shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud
I say
It’s in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need of my care
‘Cause I’m a woman
Phenomenally
Phenomenal woman
That’s me
As I finished my poem I heard a piano playing in the distance so I closed my journal and put it back in my bag. After my journal was safely put in its place I went and followed the sound of the piano. It led me downstairs to the parlor of Justin’s house. He was sitting at their baby grand piano playing a soft melody and singing some lyrics. It went like this:
You drive a pretty car, you know how fine you are
And nobody needs to say it, no way
They love the clothes you wear, they complement you
And I just love the way you play it
But the only thing you dream of
Money can’t buy for you, oh
And in my dreams I’ll make your wish come true
For the girl who has everything, I bring you love
I bring you love
‘Cause the girl who has everything
Can’t get enough of my love
Why do you run and hide, say what you feel inside
Why must you always fake it, oh yeah
Girl you need to understand
Your heart’s safe within my hands
I promise I’ll never break it, oh
I know that you still dream of
What money can’t buy for you
And in my dreams I’ll make your wish come true
For the girl who has everything, I bring you love
I bring you love
‘Cause the girl who has everything
Can’t get enough of my love
If you just let me try
(My baby listen)
I’ll help you find
(What you’ve been missing)
Oh yeah, you gotta listen to your heart
And not your mind
Oh baby yeah
For the girl who has everything I bring you love
I bring you love, yeah
‘Cause the girl who has everything
Can’t get enough of my love
(For the girl who has everything)
Oh girl, you want my love, I’m gonna give it to you
(I bring you love)
‘Cause the girl who has everything
Can’t get enough of my love
After he ended the song I crept upstairs so that he wouldn’t know I was listening in on him. That song related to me so much that I got emotional. I mean I have money, clothes, a nice car but I don’t have a boyfriend. I always thought that I would find a guy like Justin to fall in love with. I mean he has all the qualities I want in a man. The only thing is he is my best friend and I knew he didn’t feel that way about me so I ignored it and went on with my life without a boyfriend. Oh well at least school is almost over which means SUMMER TIME!!! The time to party, let loose, and sleep in. I can’t wait until after my game because it was the last game of the season and after the game we only have a week left of school.
