makeup for eden & cici! WHO: Eden Delaney & Priscilla James WHAT: Leaving for Boston (day 1)! WHERE: Eden's house. WHEN: Friday, after their last class. RATING/STATUS: G-PG, incomplete.
It was going to be a long journey, the first time she'd be making it alone (well without her mom and step dad there with her) and she was driving. Her mom had suggested that she and Cis just fly into Boston but they wanted to experience the drive for themselves and after nearly a week of convincing her mom to let her go alone, she'd finally relented. Under one promise, they had to stop every three hours and call her to let her know they were both alive and alright. And they hadn't even left Edie's house yet. She'd been packed for several days now but she kept coming back to her bags and pulling everything out only to put it back piece by piece over and over but each time in a different fashion.
Eden was anal when it came to packing, everything had to be just right or things would not GO right. So after repacking for the twentieth time (yeah, seriously), she carried her bags downstairs, along with her ipod and kindle cases.
"CISS" She called, setting her bags down on the floor in the foyer. "You ready to go, mi amiga? Because I'm ready to blow this popsicle stand."
She could hear her best friend Priscilla laughing from somewhere in the house, it sounded like the kitchen which meant she was in there smooth talking Conseulla into something again. Ciss was good for that -- sweet talking their cook that was.
Leaving her bags near the door, she looped the strap of her 'traveling' bag over her shoulder and headed in the direction of the kitchen. Stepping through the open doorway, her eyes went wide at the sight that greeted her. Conseulla was on one side of the island in the center of the kitchen and Cici was on the other and they were talking in rapid-fire spanish about the trip ahead of them. But that wasn't what had stopped Eden in her tracks, it was the fact that they were surrounded by bags and bags of what Conseulla referred to as "road trip snacks".
She laughed softly and shook her head as she walked over to the counter and sat down on the stool next to her. "Hey peaches. We need to leave now if we want to get as far as we can tonight." She said as she looked to her cook with a smile on her face.
"I know you don't want us to leave, Con, but we have to. I haven't seen Daddy in forever and Ciss wants to see Boston." The words were said in Spanish. Eden stood back up, tugging Cici with her as she went to give Conseulla a tight hug. "I'm going to miss you," She continued, "But don't forget we're only gone for a week and time will go quick." She pressed a kiss to the older woman's weathered cheek than hugged her tight once more.
Eden grabbed a few bags than motioned for Cici to take the rest. "C'mon, c'mon. Let's get out of here before Mom gets home. I don't want another third degree." She blew a kiss over her shoulder then led the way out of the kitchen and back to the foyer.
"Thank God my car has a big back seat." She laughed, opening the large oak front door to go outside to where her car waited gassed up and ready to go.
