Thirteen

As the morning approached 8:00 a.m., Gina’s eyes opened quickly with the energy that the excitement of the day brought with it. She jumped out of bed and through the shower before dressing in maroon skinny jeans, a light long sleeve cropped fitted cardigan over a black cami with lace trimming the top and bottom. She hooked the short double strand of thick cream-colored pearls over her neck and slipped her right hand through the matching bracelet.

She watched her face in the mirror as it beamed with anticipation while she blew out her hair and ran a flat iron through it. She took her time, carefully and artistically applying a mix of shadows and liners over her eyes giving them a bright and energetic pop. She lightly brushed loose powder over her smooth skin giving it an even more flawless appearance. Gina ran her tongue over her mouth before applying a light gloss on her plump lips and popped the stick into her side pocket.

She took her time going down each stair, noting the weakness her legs felt from the subtle tremble of nerves in her body. As she hit the bottom of the stairs, she caught a glance of herself in the rectangular mirror that hung above a line of coat hooks by her front door. The butterflies in her stomach seemed physically noticeable as she wore the nerves for the day on her face.

She slipped her feet into the black flats that she had kicked off the night before next to her front door and grabbed her small black leather Coach purse off one of the coat hooks on the wall.

Her mood was defined today by the excitement of what was to come. Excitement…and the unknown of what the day was going to bring fueled her. After taking a deep breath and arming herself with a surge of confidence, Gina opened her front door to the porch and hopped down the two steps skipping down her walkway over to her car.

Although it took only forty minutes before she entered the streets of Kipshaw the drive seemed to drag on forever. A few short blocks after she passed the Welcome to Kipshaw sign she found herself turning down their street, a path she had driven many times before. The house appeared quickly after she turned looking exactly the same as she had remembered it. The two-story brick colonial with it’s muted red door sat on three acres of impeccably groomed landscaping. She took a left, turning into the driveway behind the house and parked her car on the large oval drive that connected the extra garage space and second story guesthouse to the main home. She turned off her engine and sat idle in her seat.

Grant was standing on the deck to the left above her with his arms resting on the railing. Watching her, watching him. She could feel heat rising through her body and up into her throat, almost choking her. She shut her eyes and squeezed them tight as she reached for the door handle pushing it open.
