and her Emily Strange!

 
      Her walk-in
closet slash dressing room was a little wrecked but she would clean up before
bed. Kicking off her favorite pair of black and white checked Vans, she threw
her black hoodie over her vanity chair. The door to her black tiled bathroom was
open and she decided to shower. Nia put the shower in waterfall mode then
ventured back into her room to turn on some music, loving that she didn't have
to blast it just to hear it in the bathroom anymore. The speakers in her
dressing room, bathroom and bedroom were her dad's gift to the entire house on
her nineteenth birthday.

 
    Nia stripped down and threw her clothes at the
hamper missing it by an inch, as Mazzy Star began to flow through the speakers.
Fade Into You was her absolute favorite. Stepping into the shower she moved
under the warm stream of water and couldn't help but let her thoughts drift to
Aaron. Switching the shower to rain she wondered how soon he'd get in touch
with her. She could picture his deep blue eyes and the way he bit his lip with
his dimple showing itself when she made him laugh. She wanted to do that a
million more times. Whatever this was going on between her and this stranger,
she was definitely willing to find out.

 
    Nia had always been reluctant when it came to
guys having her fair share of boyfriends but they only wanted one thing and she
wasn't about to give that up to just anybody. The moment they figured out she
wasn't going to put out they were full of excuses as to why they needed space.

 
    Why on earth do guys have to be so ridiculous
about breakups? Nia mused lathering the strawberry shampoo into her long hair.
I mean couldn’t they just say what they meant for God's sake! 'It's not you,
it's me' was her least favorite cliché. She couldn't stand the softened
blow. Just say I'm sorry I had no idea you weren't willing to let me take your
virginity and I need a girl who wants to. Ugh...
     
    She knew for a fact she'd never been fully in love
before although her relationship with Jude in her senior year sure came close.
But she was in love with him and he was pretending very well too. She was
snowed and had her heart handed to her on a silver platter on her prom night.
Watching him leave with a random girl was world shattering. She hadn't even
given a guy the time of day since then, but after meeting Aaron she felt her
heart melting a little and her carefully constructed wall beginning to crumble.

 
    Drying off she heard her message tone ring and
wrapped her towel around her to go see who texted. It was her mom.
     
    Mom: Hey sweetie can u please bring Lena 2 me n
pick up our dinner on your way? Going to be a late night w/ this inventory
;)  

 
    Nia: Sure :) no prob.

 
    Mom: K thanks n I ordered Italian. It's under my
name

 
    Nia: Of course mom see you soon <3

 
      Dressing
in her jeans and Texas A & M sweatshirt she ran a brush through her hair
and pulled it back in a smooth ponytail. She grabbed her bag, MP3 player, keys
and phone and went downstairs.

 
    She found Lena in the kitchen with her teacup Chihuahua,
Viggo. Yes, Viggo because she was absolutely obsessed with his character
Aragorn on The Lord of The Rings movies. She didn't want to name him Aragorn,
so she opted for Viggo Mortensen. The entire family called him Viggo though. He
has full reign of the house until they leave, then its kennel time.

 
    "Mom said I'm supposed to take you to her,
she has inventory late tonight." Nia said checking the caller ID on the
house phone.

 
    Lena put Viggo in his cage petting him then
securing the latches, "I know, she texted me."

 
    "You ready then?” Nia asked getting a water
out of the fridge.  

 
    "Yeah let me grab my stuff." Lena took
off upstairs.

 
    Nia's phone buzzed yet again and she wondered
what mom forgot to tell her. But it wasn't mom.
    It was Aaron.

 
    Aaron: Had a great time today, wondering if u were
free tomorrow? I kind of took the day off hoping u
