~~ 1997 ~~
" You know, maybe we should just take a little break" Will, my boyfriend of
2 years said after another long fight. I remember. Someone snapping in my
face snaps me out of my thoughts. My two best friends Bekah (or just B) and
Rachel (or just Rae). We are going down to Florida for a week for our Spring
Break. Although I really wasn't up to it they didn't want me at home crying
about Will so I came along.
" Mal, don't worry" B says. " Everything will be alright. B is almost 18.
She will be 18 in April. Rae is also 17; almost 18 in April. I turned 18 in
November.
" B's right!" Rae agrees. " We're on our way to sunny Florida! Pep up
girl!"
Our plane arrives in Orlando late Saturday afternoon. We get our luggage
and go to our hotel. It's the last week of March. We will be here until
next Saturday. We get a three bedroomed suite. We begin to unpack. We are
going to a little night club tonight. Sixteen and older.
That night around 7 we're all getting ready to go. I have on a small black,
dress, with spaghetti straps. I have 3 inch heels and my auburn hair is
pinned up in loose curls. B has on black pants and a dark blue strapless
shirt. Her blond hair is left down and loosely curled. Then Rae has on a
black skirt and a dark green shirt. Her brunette hair is also left down.
They both are wearing 3 in heeled platforms. Finally we get into our rental
car and head to the club.
When we get inside the place is bumpin! Loud music and it's packed. We find
a table and sit down.
" Five hotties over there!" Rae points.
" Yeah they are hot!" B says. " And that dude with the sunglasses is
checking you out Mal"
I look over at him. He smiles slightly. " He is cute" I admit.
" And you and Will are on a break" B says.
" And he IS coming over here!" Rae laughs. We all watch as he walks over to
us.
" Hello ladies!" He says.
' Damn not only is HE sexy, his VOICE is sexy too!' I think to myself.
" I was wondering" he looks at me. " Would you care to dance?"
I smile. " I'd love to" I take his hand as he leads me onto the dance
floor.
" So beautiful" he says. " What's your name?"
" Mallori, and yours?"
" Alex"
" How old are you?"
" 19, and you?"
" 18"
" So do you live here?"
" No, we live in Colorado, we are here for a week on Spring Break"
" Well I wish you were living here."
" Why's that?"
" Because I want to get to know you"
" Well I'm going to be here for a week"
" Great" he says and gives me a sexy smile.
For the next week Alex shows us around Florida. On the last night there
Alex takes me out for a nice dinner. The next morning when we have to leave
I am very sad. But when we get back my thoughts of Alex vanish when I see
Will waiting for me.
" I want to work it out" He tells me. And things go back to the way they
were.
