Ugh. What a long day of work. I came into my room and flopped onto my bed. I took a deep breath and smelled sweat. Is that me? I lifted up my pits and smelled. Ewww, it was me. I had been cleaning all day, scrubbing floors, vacuuming carpets, styling bouquets of flowers. Not to mention it was a hot day for August.

I got up and turned on the shower. I took off my sweaty maids dress and threw it across the room into the dirty laundry pile. I finished undressing and stepped in. I had turned the water as hot as I could handle it. The water stung my skin but I couldn’t bring myself to move the handle to turn it down. I let it sink in and relax my muscles. I massaged the shampoo into my hair as I thought about yesterday. The flashbacks began and I turned the water even hotter. They went away and I bit my lip to keep from crying in pain. The water seared my flesh and I felt like I was on fire. By the time I got out, my whole body was red and hurt like a sun burn.

I changed into a tank top and some soft shorts to keep as much of my skin from getting irritated.

It had been a long day and thankfully I fell asleep easily.

“Kaitlynn, look at me please. Why are you crying?” Riley pleaded I tell him. I was crying for some reason, but I didn’t know why. Whatever the reason I was really upset.

“I love you Riley.” I barely managed to whisper.

“Oh…I’m sorry. You know I don’t feel the same.” He instantly turned and left me staring after him. I cried even harder.

“No. Please don’t go Riley.” I whispered. “Please don’t leave me. I love you.”

My eyes flew open. I sat up so fast my head spun. I put my hand on my pillow and it was wet. I got up and looked into the mirror. My eyes were red. I had been crying for real. Wow. What a nightmare. I pulled my hair back into a messy bun and put on my now fresh and non-smelly work outfit. I had another long and hard work day planned for tonight. Time to put on a happy face and get down to business.

My first task was to sweep all the hard floors. I had to wash all the windows. And today I was helping Michelle pick out a dress. Casie informed me that she had requested me specifically. When I came into the room she had 2 dresses out on her king sized bed. They were two, a pair. Both had gems lining the tops and a feathery looking material on the bottom as the skirt. One was a baby blue that faded to purple. The other was pink fading into orange.

Michelle came out of her bathroom hair all curled and makeup on. With a diamond necklace that had to weigh 5 pounds the least.

She only glanced at me for a moment, then she turned away to start digging through the drawers in her mirrored dresser.  “Hurry and change we only have 30 minutes.”

“What?”

“Mine is the pink. Get on the blue. I already checked, it’s your size.”

‘Where are we going?”

“A ball! Duh! And there are two hot princes awaiting our arrival.” Michelle started dancing.

“You arranged dates?”

“Yup. So get dressed already! Don’t want to make a bad first impression.” She ran back into the bathroom.

I didn’t want to go at all. I didn’t want to deal with men. The only person I wanted to see was Riley. Wait! Crap. No I don’t. I hate him, right? I shook my head hoping to shake all of the thoughts out with it. I got changed and ignored my gut. I got all dolled up and we were in the limo in just 15 minutes.
