I woke up at 6 a.m., took a shower, and washed my hair. I got ready by putting on an oversized shirt and shorts with my hair in a messy bun. Thank God we use heat protection in my hair. I decided today I was going to be productive, so I did my laundry and cleaned and organized my room. I then decided to tidy up my music room, and after two hours and forty- five minutes, I was finished. I cleaned the whole house, which took seven hours and forty- nine minutes.
Dad hired at least ten maids when he married Mom because he didn't want her to work. We still have them, but I give them a break when dad is working. They mostly work when dad is gone, but I give them time off and still pay them. Dad knows, but he doesn't say anything.
By the time I was done cleaning, it was 5:04 p.m. I took the longest shower imaginable. I wrapped myself in a towel and exited the bathroom. I go to the laundry room and get my clothes. I fold my clothes and pack them neatly into my drawer or on a hanger. I needed to buy some groceries, so I looked through my closet to find something casual to wear to the grocery store. I went with a nude look; a nude top, a darker shade of pants, and a bag matching the pants with my Nike. I accessorize it with a small golden necklace.

I got to the grocery store, and everyone's eyes were on me. I decided to drive the Mercedes, not for attention but because it was my favorite car out of our collection. I roll my eyes as I close the doors to the car, making sure it's locked. I ignored the stares I was receiving and the people who were side-eyeing me, saying it was "daddy's money."
I got into the store, and I spotted my favorite employee talking to Samatha. I walk up to the two with a smile on my face. I guess today is a great day; I woke feeling productive; I haven't cut myself; Lorenzo and I were on good terms; and Jackson and I are happier than ever. Finally, we're getting Dad and Papa back today.
"Hey." I beam.
"Hey there." John, my favorite employee, said "Oh, this is-" he went to introduce me.
"Oh, hey." Samatha smiled.
"Do you guys need each-" His eyes went to Samatha, then to me. "never-mind, when did you guys meet?" He then asked.
"Oh, Jackson took me on a date-"
"And I was her waitress." She finishes.
"Oh, okay. Can I see your shopping list?" He asked, holding his hand out.
"Sure." I hand him my phone. "So how do you know Samatha?"
"She is my niece." He looks up and then goes back to look at the list.
"Ok," he clasped his hands, "let's get to shopping."
After an hour and a half of grocery shopping, we're about to check out. I told John that I would take Sam home and pay for her groceries. After a couple of minutes of convincing her to let me pay, she gave in. Sam and John helped me carry the groceries to the car. After saying our goodbyes, I'm on my way to Sam's house.
