better.
There had been the time in high school when she had been required to give a speech in front of the class and she had been terrified so Kayla had taken her place. She felt bad about the situation, but she couldn’t have done it herself. The interesting thing was to this day she still was not good at speaking in front of people, but she could do it now thanks to her college years.
There had also been the time Kayla had to complete an activity course in P. E. class, and Keirra had taken her place. Kristen had come in handy when Keirra had been running late to basketball practice. She filled in long enough to say she was present, and that had been it. They had gotten into some sticky situations, but their teamwork had pulled them through.
Kristen yawned and realized she was sleepy. It had been a long weekend. Standing up, she moaned as she felt her muscles protest. “It’s bedtime for me.”
Kayla nodded. “It is getting late. We should be going to bed.”
“Speak for yourself ,” Keirra grumbled.
She stood before walking over to each of her sisters’ and kissed both of them on their cheeks. “I love you guys. Good night.”
They reciprocated, and she walked out of the living. She realized just how tired she was when she started up the stairs. Once she made it to her room, she took a quick shower and crawled into bed. She reached for her favorite teddy bear and squeezed it tight in her arms. The bear was scruffy looking with good reason. It was the same one that Randy gave her the day he kissed her for the first time. She smiled at the memory. She closed her eyes and soon she was fast asleep.

It seemed like she had just closed her eyes when the alarm went off. She brought a hand down on the buzzer and got out of bed. After she arrived at work, the day seemed to fly by. She locked up her day care center and hopped into her car. The drive home was short, and when she walked into the house, she sniffed the air to try to guess what was for dinner. Her sisters came out of the kitchen, and they looked ready to go out. She gave them a questioning look.
“What is for dinner?”
Kayla grinned. “Sam’s Café.”
A smile came to Kristen’s face, and she headed for the stairs. “Give me fifteen minutes, and I will be ready.”
She loved Sam’s Café. Sam’s offered a little of everything from Tex-Mex to Italian and everything in between. She went into her room and hopped around shedding clothing until she was naked. Her next stop was to the shower, and she made it quick. When she stepped out of the shower, she dried off, went to her closet, and began flipping through her clothes to find out what she was going to wear. She decided on her powder pink top. It was an asymmetrical bandana top. She had several of the tops in several colors, but the pink one was her favorite. She added her blue jean skirt, which stopped a few inches above her knees, and topped it off with the pink calf-height boots she had bought with the top.
She put her clothes on in record time. The next battle was going to be making the decision on how she wanted to style her hair. She decided to keep it simple. After parting her hair down the middle, she plaited a braid on each side. When she was done, she placed a pink beret-style hat on her head. While spraying perfume, she gave herself a once-over and, satisfied, walked out of her room and down the stairs.
Her sisters were standing downstairs waiting for her. Keirra glanced down at her watch and smiled. “You made it with a minute to spare, and you still look great.”
Kristen laughed. “Whose vehicle are we going in?”
Kayla spoke up. “We can go in mine.”
The three grabbed their purses and headed out the front door. Keirra locked the house up, and they were on their way. Kayla drove into town, and a short time, they pulled in front of Sam’s Café. They had been back to the café a handful of
