My Heaven on Earth

Chapter 1 Life in the Norm It was an average day in suburban Denver, Colorado.
Everything was peaceful. The day went as smooth as butter. I walked out of the office from a hard and exhausting day at work. I sold three houses, did six 100-page reports, and sucked up to the boss for that little bit extra in my pay check. I walked into my house I shared with my best friend and housemate Madeline. “Hey Madi, I am so exhausted! The boss had me working non-stop today. Ugh I can't wait for tonight.” You see tonight was my 22nd birthday. I was ready to party in style. I already had a limo and a private bar ready for my friends and me. My friends for life included: my husband and bestie Adam Rouge, second in command Ralphie Bontalone, my all time party gal Stephanie Cortez, and of course my all time would not be able to survive without my Madeline. So I walked up to my room and got all ready and primped for a night out with my four closest friends in the whole wide world. I was dressed in a strapless purple sequin dress ankle long and my favorite black wedge heals. My hair was done up in an elegant French Twist.
My make-up perfect, my room clean, and all the animals in the backyard with food and water for the night. I run down stairs and grab my phone off the charging mat in the back corner of the main office. I text all my friends, “Hey party starts in twenty minutes come over early so we can get the limo at the same time.” So fifteen minutes later everyone shows up dressed and pockets and purses loaded for a great night. “Steph you look amazing. Adam oh my gosh any cuter and you beat my dog in a handsome contest. Ralphie always with the casual look. Madi wow what can I say pulling out all the stops tonight.” I grabbed Adam's arm and walked out to the limo. We drove for maybe an hour through dense traffic and heavy rain. “Oh no this is going to like ruin my hair,” Steph complained. “Steph don't worry it's going to be fine,” Ralphie assured

I dress in a brown and black paisley shirt with long see through sleeves and a sweetheart neck line, , that flattered my bosom perfectly, along with a silky, stretchy, pair of boot cut black pants and some modest 3 inch…
