“Anna..” I frowned, making her wave me away as she grabbed four of the eight bags that were waiting for us.
“But you have to promise me something J..” She began, prompting me to glance towards her before exiting the store.
“Why do I feel like I am going to regret this already.” I mumbled to myself as she swiftly smacked me on the arm, making me rub the now sore spot.
“Just promise me!” She yelled and I rolled my eyes before agreeing.
“You have to pack only these clothes for your trip..and no peeking..also no hoodies or oversized clothes!! I’m serious J..if you want to make Caspian’s summer miserable..you have to do what I say.” She smiled, causing me to drag my feet and groan.
Somehow this turned into some type of seduction mission for Anna..like I was going to magically make Caspian fall in love with me and rip out his heart before tearing it to shreds..those were her words, not mine.
I was thinking this summer I would just be getting away with some stuff…like a couple of pranks..maybe putting some sand in his shorts or something..but seducing the guy?! Yeah..that is going to be hard when he hates my guts.
But I did have another mission for this trip…to actually find a summer fling and get some type of experience.. I don’t necessarily want to lose my virginity to a complete stranger…but maybe a first kiss would be nice.
Anna said these clothes will help with that too..but I just don’t know..I feel like I’m already regretting this.
There is no way Caspian would ever fall for me..he has Ava..and she is like a way better-looking version of me.
We ended up driving to the salon just down the road and I was now sitting in a chair while Anna and this Jeremy guy discussed what to do with me like I was some type of dog that needed grooming.
“I say just below the shoulders, that way it’s more manageable.” Jeremy said while fluffing out my wavy blonde hair and running his fingers through it.
My hair went down to my mid back, that’s how long it had gotten and all I ever really did was put it up so I didn’t have to deal with tangles.
“Okay, let’s do it..are you ready J?” Anna asked excitedly as I just nodded my head and closed my eyes..I didn’t really have an attachment to my hair..but I stopped taking care of it after Dad went missing.
“After this, we will do the full body waxing, that way you will be all healed up for when you leave in four days!” Anna said excitedly as my eyes snapped open.
“Full body what?!” Oh god..this was not going to be enjoyable.
Yeah..this was definitely a bad idea.

I opened the front door of our house and went inside before putting down all of the bags Anna and I had accumulated throughout the day.
I couldn’t help but wince while lifting my arm, the throbbing from getting waxed still noticeable as I frowned to myself.
I thought Anna just meant my legs..boy was I wrong..I had never felt so exposed in my life.
“Hey Jojo, did you go shopping?” My brother asked before walking out of the kitchen. I hadn’t even seen his car here..maybe I was too traumatized from earlier.
Suddenly he stopped in his tracks, his eyes wandering up and down my body as he began to blink rapidly.
“Holy shit..you look great!” He exclaimed before coming over towards me and began turning me around.
He went to reach for my hair as I batted his hand away and glared at him.
“Hey, don’t touch it..I don’t want to ruin it before mom sees.” I whined, making Ben laugh as he smiled down at me excitedly.
“This was Anna’s doing wasn’t it?” He asked me as I bent down to pick up the shopping bags I had dropped from Ben manhandling me.
“Of course it was..but to be fair, I asked her to help me.” I admitted before walking towards the hallway that led to my room.
“Honey, do we seriously have to eat dinner here tonight..” Robin suddenly asked while appearing from around the corner. Ugh…why was she here? She rarely came to the house whenever Ben was over.
Robin had black hair and caramel skin, her eyes were chocolate brown and she was always dressed immaculately. Today she wore a pink mini skirt with a cream colored top. She had on white heels and smelled like Chanel.
Robin came from a family with old money and got to experience a lot of finer things in life. Let’s just say her dad has a yacht named after her.
“Oh..who is this?” She suddenly asked, making my jaw drop as she looked me up and down. Her resting bitch face working overtime as I laughed…thinking she had to be joking.
“Johnnie..Ben’s little sister? Ring a bell?” I said in disbelief..did she really not recognize me?
“Oh..you look different.” She stated, her eyes searching me once more as she seemed to be in some form of shock.
Did I really look that bad before? Anna had me change into a pair of light-wash skinny jeans and a white T-shirt before we left the store. You would think I was wearing a ball gown by the way my brother and his Fiancee stared at me.
Okay..I admit I always wore clothes three sizes too big..and mostly hoodies that went down to my thighs..but my face was still the same..well besides the light makeup Anna put on me just to highlight my natural beauty. Who knew a little eyeliner would make my grey eyes practically glow?
“Why are you guys here?” I asked, changing the subject as Ben cleared his throat and walked up to Robin before putting his arm around her waist.
“Mom asked us to come..something about the trip.” He said before shrugging his shoulders and I just nodded my head..wondering what the hell was going on.
Mom had been acting strange for the past few months..always staying late at work and going on business trips that she was never required to go on before. It almost felt like she was hiding something..what that was..I had a feeling we would find out tonight.
“Ben..do you think mom has a boyfriend?” I suddenly blurted, causing his eyes to widen.
“A boyfriend? No way..we would know about it.” He stated firmly and I guess he was right..mom wouldn’t keep something like that from us.
“Well, I’m going to go put this stuff away.” I sighed and watched as Robin pulled Ben into a passionate kiss, not letting him respond as I felt like barfing just from the sight of them.
She always does this..I don’t know why..it’s almost like she sees me as some type of threat even though Ben is my damn brother.
The worst is when she treats me nice in front of Ben but as soon as he leaves, she is a royal bitch. Now that I think about it..Robin and Caspian might be better suited for one another..considering they are practically the same damn person just opposite genders.
Yeah..this trip to Florida was going to be great…not…it was the first year Robin would be coming with us..so my hopes weren’t set too high for me to spend time with my brother.
I put my stuff down on the floor before walking towards the mirror and staring at myself.
Okay..I can see it now..I look completely different. My sandy blonde hair was in elegant waves around my face and my eyebrows were perfectly shaped..the white T-shirt clung to my body perfectly, showing off my big bust and tapered waist..and then these jeans..damn..it was like the sisterhood of the traveling pants I swear. These had to be some type of magic jeans..they made my ass look phenomenal.
