This was due to the fact that I absolutely refused to put a television in my bedroom. I didn’t want one in my bedroom so that I could sleep at night. So that idea completely defeated the purpose that I intended it for. Everything was fine I the beginning because Michael was here with me most nights, and we always ended our night in the bedroom. Now I didn’t have anyone to take me by the hand and lead me there.
I was looking forward to my night out with Michael. We had dinner reservations at one of my favorite restaurants. He made them earlier this week and I was ecstatic. I’m a sucker for fine dining because I never really experienced it at home. It’s not that there aren’t any high-end restaurants where I’m from; it’s that my dad is a complete cheapskate and he lives as frugally as he possibly can. I don’t know how my mother deals with it. It drove me completely insane.
A knock on my door pulled me from my groggy state. I looked through my peep hole and saw Elizabeth at my door with the same clothes that she wore the day before.
