THE ONE FOR ME
Chapter 1
Samantha had woken up at eight like she did every morning and made her way to her private bathroom. Her bathroom was beautiful and spacious. The floor was done in lavender and white custom-made Italian tiles and had fluffy lavender carpet over the tiles in front of her sink and toilet. She had a large circular Whirlpool bathtub that could also be substituted to a Jacuzzi when she turned on the jets. She also had a large shower stall that was covered by glass that had a tint of lavender encrusted in it. Inside of the shower stall were two showerheads, and two built in seats covered with the same tile that covered the floor of her bathroom. The walls of her bathroom were white but the border around the wall was white with lavender fairies. She had white and lavender towels folded neatly on each side of her extra long sink as well as hung on display on each side of her tub and shower stall. Lavender and vanilla scented candles lay systematically around her tub while different scented lavender colored body washes and bath crystals were placed in between each candle.
She opened the linen closet in her bathroom and took out a lavender wash cloth and towel and turned on the water in her shower stall and proceeded to twist each knob until the water was warm enough then she flicked the small silver piece up so that the water would fall down through the shower head facing the door. She put on her facial cleanser then began brushed her teeth and gargled while leaving the towel and wash cloth next to her. As she rinsed her mouth out with Listerine she picked up her lavender wash cloth and wiped the cleanser off her face. Once she was done she peeled off her clothes and got in the shower.
She let the water beat the kinks out of her muscles before she picked up her ‘Shimmering Dreams’ caress body wash and poured a bit of it on her lavender and white body sponge and began to wash herself. Fifteen minutes later her body was clean but she still had her hair to wash. She massaged her Herbal Essence’s shampoo into her hair and moaned at the feeling she got from it. She loved massages and a head massage had always been able to put her to sleep. It took her thirty minutes to shampoo and condition her hair, mostly because she had so much of it. She had chestnut brown hair that reach the mid of her back and her hair dresser always loved it when she came in. She kept her hair healthy, well groomed, and long.
She turned off the water, put on a fluffy white bathrobe, and wrapped the lavender towel around her hair and walked into her room. She closed her bathroom door and rubbed the towel through her hair leaving it damp. She walked over to her chest of drawers and opened the top drawer revealing her undergarments. She pulled out a white lace bra with a matching thong and put them on before she picked up her ‘Shimmering Dreams’ scented lotion and massaged it into her skin. She then put on her lavender silk house robe and walked back into the bathroom, plugged up her hair dryer, and started to blow dry her hair. As she dried her hair she brushed it so that her hair started to form light curls at the end of each strand.
When her hair was completely dry she walked into her closet and pulled out an outfit she wanted to wear. She put on a brown BEBE crochet halter tunic, a pair of low rise BEBE jean capri's that had tan B on the back pocket, and a pair of brown and tan Guess slides. She took out her Guess purse and put her wallet, lipstick, address book, pen, mints, and different knick knacks that she knew she would need into her back before she picked up her suit cases and made her way out of her room, down the stairs, and into the kitchen where she picked up her keys and sunglasses before she left the condo for the airport.
Samantha and her girls had decided to spend the summer living it up and just having fun. They had decided on Cancun, Mexico and were planning on flying in. Samantha’s parents had talked about it and had agreed to let Samantha go. She would be seventeen soon and had proved herself to be responsible. Samantha’s Godmother had a beach house out in Cancun and had said she would look out for the girls if they needed anything. Samantha, Asia, Keora, and Shadae would be staying at a beach house in Cancun about fifteen minutes away from Samantha’s Godmother. They had paid to have the lovely house for three months and planned to enjoy living on their own.
Samantha knew that MTV would be there at their summerhouse filming different shows and parties and the girls planned on being in on everything they could. Samantha loved music and there was a new guy group out that she loved. Their name was B2K and she loved their songs and then there was the fact that all the guys could dance. She didn’t know what they were doing but she promised herself that she would go to one of their tours to see how they performed live. She heard that they were be on a summer tour with Lil Bow Wow but the plans for her Cancun trip was already in full swing and she knew that she wouldn’t be able to make it so she just forgot about it and put all her focus on her Mexico vacation.
Samantha was dropped off at the airport and went to the gate G21 and was met with her three best friends, each of them wearing something comfortable for the flight. They sat next to each other and waited for their plane to come. None of them were really morning people so they weren’t really eager to strike up a conversation. Samantha was about to pull out her CD player when a female voice said, “Will all first class passengers on flight to Cancun, Mexico please come and board the plane. Please have your tickets and ID out and ready before you get to the check-in station.”
Samantha, Asia, Keora, and Shadae stood up and walked over to the check-on station and presented the middle-aged woman with their tickets. The lady took a piece of their ticket before letting them proceed into the plane. Each of the girls got in their seats and waited for the plane to take off.
When the plane landed Samantha exited the plane with her friends next to her and looked out the window at the lovely scenery. They each looked at each other smiled then walked off to baggage claim. Finding their bags weren’t that hard, being that all of them had used their matching Luis Vuitton luggage sets but being that they didn’t want to rent a car, they decided to hail a cab. Hailing a cab is much different in Mexico then it is in New York. There are cabs everywhere you turn in NYC but it’s a bit of a wait trying to catch one in Mexico.
They found themselves in front of a lovely beachfront home, thanks to the airport workers for calling them a cab, where they found a woman who looked about twenty-eight waiting for them. They walked up to the lady who then told them that her name was Ms. Williams and that she had their house keys. They showed her their ID’s then were presented with four sets of keys.
Ms. Williams showed them the house and gave them the customary, ‘I hope you have a great stay and use us the next time you rent a house’, speech before leaving them alone. Asia looked at Keora and Shadae looked at Samantha. They all gave a giddy yell before running up the stairs to claim their rooms.
