roommate. It doesn't get better than this.
The next
morning when I woke up, I opened my eyes and had a euphoric feeling that
brought chills to my whole body. I was officially twenty one today! There was
absolutely no part of me that wanted to lounge in bed. Today would be one of
the most significant days in my life. I jumped out of bed and immediately took
a shower. The house was empty already so after I was done getting dressed, I
decided a trip to see my mom and dad was essential.
The drive to
their house was only thirty five minutes away. I really should make this trip
more often, but with work keeping me so busy and the fact that I want to stay
close to my friends, I don't. Pathetic, isn't it? I pulled up into the driveway
of the home I grew up in. Every time I see it, it just makes me smile. I had a
great childhood and I have two amazing parents to thank for it. When I walked
in the door, I was greeted by their boxer, Tyson. He was eighty five pounds of
an adorable dog. I don't think he could stop wiggling his butt when he was
excited if he tried. I went to the kitchen in search of my mom and I found
Heather there as well.
"What
is going on? And where is your car?"
"Well, hello
to you, too" came from my mom as she grabbed me into a hug and then
showered my face with kisses like she did when I was five years old.
"Happy birthday, Sadie girl"!
"Thanks,
Mom, but I really don't understand..."
"Is that
my Sadie girl I hear?" My dad came in to the room with a smile. He grabbed
me from my mom and squeezed the crap out of me.
"Hi, Dad. You know, you’re killing me slowly here,
right?"
"You’re
always so silly, Sadie. So did Mom tell you about your party... "
"Bill!
Shut up!" It was crazy how that came out of my mom and Heather’s mouth simultaneously.
What party?
"What
party?"
My mom spoke
first, "It was supposed to be a surprise but Heather and I wanted to take
you on a spa day. Your father, for some reason, keeps calling it a girl party
because he can't go."
Yeah right! Or, maybe? That does sound like my dad.
"Dad, I
came out here to see you too. Maybe we could meet up for dinner? By the way,
Mom, how did you know I was coming out so early to have planned a whole day at
the spa? And Heather, how did you get out here?"
"Sadie,
what's with the twenty questions? Let me try to tackle these in order. Your mom
called me last week about taking you to the spa for a special surprise. We
planned on picking you up. No one knew you were driving out here. And I went by
my parents’ house before I came over here. I only live three houses down. I
walked over. Why are you being all suspicious?"
"Because,
you all are being shady about something, I can just feel it."
"For
once, your gut is wrong. So, are you ready to go get pampered, Miss I'm twenty
one?"
"I just
got here."
"We
know this, honey, but Heather and I would have left five minutes ago to come
get you. Our first appointment is our facials and we need to be there on time
or it will mess up the whole day." My mom was always a worry wart.
"Okay.
I just feel bad about Dad. Are you sure he doesn't want a massage or something?
He could come too?"
"Sadie,
I'm a grown ass man. I am not going to a spa. But thanks for thinking of me.
You sure have turned into one amazing woman. I am so proud of you."
"Thank
you, Dad" I gave him a huge hug and then turned to the boss ladies.
"I'm ready when you are."
The whole
day was filled with being pampered from head to toe, just as promised. Speaking
of my head, I had them put in honey colored highlights and they look amazing! We
went to the mall also and my mom was adamant that she pay for the dress I
picked out. Heather said it was a must have, even though I didn't know where I
could ever wear it. It was not appropriate for work that was for sure. I did
love it though. The dress seemed simple until I tried it on. It was black,
strapless, skin tight and rested just
