“Can I at least get your number?” he asked, his voice hopeful.

“Of course you can,” I replied, pulling out my phone which I had tucked between the waistband of my skirt.

“Maybe you can come over to my place sometime. Enjoy an evening on our own,” he offered.

“Sounds great, Derrick. I’ll call you,” I told him. “Maybe you can drive me home? We can let these two enjoy the rest of the night,” I said, winking at Kennedy.

She smiled, happy to have Mason all to herself.

They really looked great together, and if I were her, I wouldn’t let go of Mason anymore.

He seemed like a really good guy who wasn’t just talking to her to have some fun.

“You two enjoy the rest of the night, all right? Take good care of her,” I warned, looking at Mason.

“I will. Have a good night,” he replied, turning his attention back at Kennedy.

I’d say that was a successful night.

She was comfortable enough to stay with him on her own, and after getting rid of Derrick, I could turn into the naughty little slut, my true self, once I was back in my room and in front of my webcam.

It’s been a week since I’ve seen Riggs, but he stayed on my mind the whole damn time.

School has been a pain in the ass, and I had to focus on classes the whole week before Friday finally came around again.

It was the Friday my parents would leave to go to a spa retreat for Della’s birthday, leaving me on my own for ten full days.

I was excited as I got home, and after putting my schoolbag away, I went to take a quick shower and change into something more comfortable, meaning yoga pants and a large sweater.

There weren’t many days in which I wore an outfit like this, but since I didn’t have to sit in front of the webcam tonight, I had the chance to turn lazy.

I walked downstairs to get to the kitchen, and when I passed the living room, I stopped by the old jukebox Dad once got for his birthday to turn on some music.

I loved old songs from the sixties up until the eighties, so I set the mood and went into the kitchen to cook something for dinner.

I was starving, and thanks to Della going grocery shopping for me this morning, we had the fridge filled with all of my favorite things.

Tonight I would go for a broccoli salad with chicken breast and mashed potatoes on the side.

Quite the culinary gal.

I liked being alone in this big house, with music playing quietly in the background and the smell of delicious food filling the kitchen.

I had already planned the evening out, sitting cuddled up on the couch and watching a movie I haven’t seen in a while snacking on some chocolate and chips without anything to worry about.

Della and Dad thought I could use a few extra pounds, right? So why not try and gain some wait with unhealthy foods after a nice, filling dinner?

It was gone sooner than expected as my hunger kicked in right after I let the chicken breast cook in the pan, and my mouth wouldn’t stop watering until it was ready to eat.

After finishing up dinner, I turned off the jukebox and got comfortable on the couch, pulling a blanket over my legs and then turning on the TV.

I chose the movie Burlesque, as Christina Aguilera was as confident in the movie as how I’ve always strived to be myself, and I thought I was doing pretty well, seeing as I wasn’t lacking any confidence whatsoever.

The music in the movie was great too, and I often sang along to it in the shower, trying to move the way she did in the movie.

Halfway into the movie and I had already eaten a whole chocolate bar, a bag of chips, and was now onto my second chocolate bar.
