Can you believe it mum I will be 16 in a few days, can we please please have champagne, No darling said her mum not till you are 18 then we can have non alcoholic champagne, alright darling said her mum, just then the phone rang I will get it said Anne, it was her good friend Josh who everyone knew had a crush on Anne, but Anne just loved him as a friend,
Anne tossed her blonde hair as she crossed her legs and twirled her hair talking and laughing loudly, Anne’s mum looked in admiration at her gorgeous daughter who was great at lessons, a cheer leader and a gymnast, As Anne’s mum smiled thinking how time passed since she was a little gorgeous blonde baby and sighed now she is going to be 16.
Anne did not have boy friends, she wanted to feel something special if she had a boyfriend and did not feel that way about Josh, just then the doorbell rang and there was Caren her best friend a brunette and who had a great sense of humour and was pretty in her own way in other words was plump but had a great personality and Anne and Caren were bff’s
Caren said Anne you won’t believe it but my aunt Iona has given me two tickets to Ibza for a weekend at her holiday home her caretaker Maggie will pick us up and we will have the weekend to our selves,
Just then Anne’s mum Lily came into the living room asking what the screaming was all about Ann said “ please, please can I go to Ibza with Caren for the weekend , the caretaker of Caren’s aunt will be there mum you know I worked so hard at my SAT’s please can I go, Lily a gorgeous blonde herself said we have to discuss this with your dad Paul, ok mum just then the car came up the drive way Lily who was wearing an apron her short blonde hair creating a gorgeous unruly mess that made Lily who was 42 actually look like 22 walked up to open the door it was Paul her husband a tall dark haired man with a gorgeous lean and clean body who loved his cigarettes that made him look like a Hollywood film star and an occasional whisky on the rocks but as the door opened by his beautiful wife Lily he was pleasantly surprised by how much his body reacted to her beauty even after all these years of marriage as he kissed Lily as he walked into the door his gorgeous cheerleader daughter came running up to him the same way she did as a little baby for a hug and a kiss, he thought to himself she will always be his baby, his little girl
Anne, said “daddy Caren and I want to go to Ibza for a weekend please say yes, we will be good and Maggie the caretaker will be there as well”,
Paul said what did your mum say Dad cried Anne rolling her eyes that only a gorgeous 16 year old cauld do,
Lily said what do you say Paul took out a cigarette lit it and as he blew out the smoke with his eyes half closed he thought he could have a break with Lily and take her out to their favourite restaurant and maybe a bit more…. He said only if you promise to be good yes said Anne and did a cheerleader routine YES and Caren gave Ann a big hug and said lets go pack the bags, Ann was not too over fashion conscious she just used minimum make up as she had great skin and features her favourite was lots of mascara and lip gloss when she went out but one thing she needed was her hair straighteners for her long blonde hair. Anne took out her favourite blue bikini and flowered sarong, one high heeled sandals, flip flops and two vests, one denim skirt and one gorgeous LBD( little Black Dress) if there ever will be a chance to wear it,
Caren whispered we can slip into a night club when Maggie goes to bed and come back before she awakes, yes screamed Anne and we can check out the boys said Caren, oh stop talking about boys for sometime said Anne, Caren’s only goal in life was to have a boyfriend and that was all she thought about, while Ann wanted something special in a relationship before she committed herself to a boy.
The next few days the girls had manicures, spray tans and talked about the holiday, while Paul and Lily looked forward for time alone.
The day arrived the girls took the plane and Anne barely touched the food while Caren finished her plate as well as Anne’s. The destination arrived and there was Maggie a big, loud voluptuous Spanish lady, ola my beauties said Maggie and hugged both Caren and Anne at the same time, Both girls giggled as they hugged her. Maggie said today I cooked you girls pasta and then we go shopping and then to the beach Ok, the girls loved the pasta and each got a glass of red wine as well which was a treat for Anne but in Caren’s house due to her Spanish and Italian back ground wine was a every day affair. Anne wore her blue vest and jeans dabbed on her mascara, combed her long blonde hair and sprayed her perfume and looked like a Victoria Secret model, while Caren had lots of make up a t-shirt and jeans was joking how a model scout would fall in love with Anne the girls bought some make –up Christine dior, a few summer dresses and then got ready to go the beach, Maggie drove them to the beach and promised to pick them up in a few hours time and to wait for her at the restaurant at the side of the beach,
The girls were thirsty and decided to have a cocktail at the other side a few young boys around the age of 19 and 20 sat down just opposite Ann, Anne was reading a magazine, as she looked up she say the most gorgeous grey blue eyes staring at her she felt her stomach do a summersault, she felt electric current, she stared back and smiled just as her cocktail arrived, just then as she took a sip of her cocktail the vision of blue eyes called the waiter wrote something on the serviette and pointed to Anne and put a little money in the waiters pocket, The waiter came and gave the serviette to Anne and pointed to the gorgeous blond guy, Anne bit her lip nervously as she read the serviette which said “ are you old enough to drink that , we can talk about the legal age of drinking over a drink I think you are cute babe and gave her his number xx
Caren was now eyeing the dark haired friend of the blonde guy and nearly shouted “say yes say yes” to Anne, Anne took out her serviette and wrote legal age of drinking does not count on holiday the star forecasters say a double date will go well with a glass of champagne, the waiter was called and Anne gave him the serviette and pointed to the blonde guy, the waiter quite enjoying this playing cupid and the extra money he was getting gave the serviette to the blonde guy the blonde guy Champagne and cheese and crackers at the Bar, I thought about caviar but I do not think you will quite enjoy caviar, but champagne and cheese for you and your friend my buddy likes voluptuous girls and I like you babe by the way my name is Peter and my buddies name is Jack. Meet you at 8:00 at the bar,
The girls got the serviette from the grinning waiter and Anne wrote we have a double date Anne and Caren, Jack at the meantime winked at Caren and Caren laughed and stuck out her tongue which had a piercing.
Maggie came in at the allocated time and asked the girls if they wanted to do more shopping or watch a movie the girls said they had not yet decided and will come home before 10.00pm. It was 8;00 pm Anne wore her LBD, while Caren wore a flowered dress,the boys looked cool ,Jack wore a black t-shirt and jeans and smelled of after shave, and Peter had spiky hair a white shirt and jeans and Anne had her long blonde hair loose and wavy, both Anne and Peter looked great and Peter decided to take Anne for a walk in the mall as they walked he held her hand and as she looked into his grey blue eyes she knew in her heart if it was love, lust, fate or three in one this was the man she wanted to marry,
Peter was British while she was American from Tulsa, while Peter was from Surrey in UK, he played with her hair and there in the moonlight he kissed her slowly beautifully and as they kissed she felt current flow through her body, she wanted more but had to hold back, these feelings were new to her, Peter was 19 years old and was studying Politics, they headed back to Caren and Jack and Peter ordered the best Champagne and as he looked into Anne’s eyes all he said was cheers to our future ,just as Anne and Peter were now inseparable so were Caren and Jack. Tomorrow was Anne’s 16th birthday, the girls and boys decided to go to a nightclub in the night and go to a spa in the morning the boys were going to the beach and then meet the girls at the night club in the evening, after the massage, pedicure and a light siesta the girls decided to look their best for the boys, as Maggie went to sleep the girls tiptoed outside and the boys were waiting for them Anne and Peter kissed and Caren gave Jack a big hug, they went to the night club they decided to have a few shots and they danced and had fun Caren wanted to dance on the table being a bit drunk but decided not to much to Anne relief after the party they went walking to the beach Anne took out her high heels and walked barefoot and held on to Peter’s arms and then started crying thinking this was the last of their friend ship but Peter said that morning he talked to his lecturer from Surrey where they can study in America and get the same credits as in UK and Peter hugged Anne and said from the first time he saw her beautiful blue eyes, biting her lip and reading the magazine he fell in love with her and in a few months will go to study in the same university as Anne , Anne squealed in delight and hugged Peter, this was the best birthday present for Anne, Caren and Jack also came to a similar arrangement. Paul and Lily came to pick up the girls at the airport Caren whispered to Paul, “Anne is in love”. Anne hearing it said “so is Caren”, Paul was relived to hear Peter was studying Politics and also was happy his daughter had a boyfriend.
In a few months Peter and Jack came to study in Tulsa close to Anne and Caren, Josh also had a gorgeous oriental girlfriend, Lily and Paul liked Peter and were happy that their daughter was happy.
Where ever destiny takes us there will be people along our path some who become friends, comrades and if lucky spouses but there are some whom one forgets and then there are some who do not like us dear ones do not be people pleasers, people are entitled to their opinion but you be a person of excellence and love. Then one day soon love will knock on your door
