"What is that?" Sandra dragged her eyes away from her book, throwing her a curious glance.

"Nope, nothing." Her hand in the air came down and went straight behind her back.

Her best friend narrowed her eyes suspiciously, "Huh-uh, what is that, Mena?"

Keeping the list hidden is pointless, Ismena realized. Knowing her plump, beautiful Hispanic friend so well, she wouldn't stop until her curiosity is quenched.

Taking a deep breath, Ismena withdrew the list from her back, "Alright. I made the list." She admitted.

"List?" Sandra asked, brows drawn in confusion.

"Yep. List. You know, the list I told you I was gonna make?"

"Thelist!?" Sandra's eyes popped out, her voice was a hushed scream. Putting her phone away, she looked around to make sure no one was within hearing distance before she looked back at her friend, "You were serious!?"

There's no one else in the one-story old but a good-looking house, except the two of them. Ismena nodded her head, "Yes, I was."

"Let me see, let me see," Her friend dove for the white paper and Ismena let her have it. She unfolded the paper, her eyes darted around and pinned on the words.

"My To-Do List for the next three months?" Sandra read out loud. She threw her friend a glance. Ismena shrugged. Her head swiveled back the piece of paper, she began reading out loud.

"One; Go to a club and have fun. Two; Have a one-night-stand with a total stranger." Paused. Looked up at her friend, "Seriously? You're gonna have sex with a total stranger?"

"Yep. A mind-blowing one at that." She shrugged, "I can't remember the last time I had sex because I was always working and didn't have time for a proper relationship. So, I'm gonna make proper good use of these coming months. This time around, I wanna be wild." A smile split her lips, her eyes took on a dreamy look, "I want wild. Something completely out of character, I might even try anal too. I've been a good girl long enough."

"Huh-uh," Sarah nodded her head like her friend is making sense, and lowered her head back to the paper, "I knew you had that wild girl in you all along, I just knew it. Sex with a stranger I can recommend, but I ain't recommending anal at all. That'll be putting your health in danger."

Ismena snorted in a my-health-is-already-in-more-danger-than-you-can-imagine kinda way, but she kept her mouth shut.

"Four; Tell my boss he's an asshole." Brows ached. "Five; Conquer a lifelong fear." Snorts, she added, "That'll be fear of heights, just go skydiving."

"I plan to."

"Six; Go camping in the forest. Seven; Ride a horse on a beach. Uh-huh, Uh-huh, as if you can ride a horse. Eight; Make a nude video that will go viral." She paused. Scoffed. "You're not serious."

Ismena put on a hip-hop song and began dancing to it while she answers her friend in a sing-song matter, "I'm...dead...serious! I'm dead serious...!" She sang, throwing her friend a wide smile, "Don't worry, I won't show my face."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You've gone crazy. Absolutely crazy. Nine; Get a constant fuck buddy?" Sandra shook her head, "Just say you wanna turn into a slut for some idiot out there."

"Yep. That just about sums it up." No point in staying celibate anyway. There's no time to be a slut for her future husband, whoever he might have been.

"And, the last but not the least.... Ten; Write a will." She paused, "WRITE A WILL!? SERIOUSLY!?"

Ismena lifted a shoulder and allowed it to fall.

"That's giving me the 'bad' vibes. Why write a will? You're only on Leave from work, you're not dying." Sandra shivered, "Nope, I'm canceling out this last one."

Ismena took the white piece of paper from her friend and gave her a wide smile she hoped didn't come out too forced. "It's just for fun, okay? I've not had such a long time to myself in forever, I want to do crazy things and make the most of it, okay?"

"Okay, okay, if you say so. I just hope you know what you're doing." Sandra raised her hands in surrender.

Ismena grinned. That wild smile of hers, that steals the heart of whoever witnesses it, even after ten years. Sandra hasn't gotten used to how that smile glows up her friend's face making her look exceptionally gorgeous.

"I know what I'm doing, baby." With that, she turned and continued her dancing.

Sandra gave her friend a once-over as she made smooth dance moves. At twenty-six years old, Ismena is very beautiful with wild gorgeous blond hair that's always full and curly, it's a hassle to style and tame. Although her friend always keeps the hair in order, it's very attractive whether styled or unkempt. Ismena looks good even when she just wakes up after rolling around in bed all night. She has curves to die for too, with a big butt that has the men staring.

Her 'imperfection' will be the smattering of freckles on her nose and her petite form. At five foot four, she isn't a female giant for sure.
