I Love To Love You

'I love to love you baby'

"Sabrina make this song louder." So I did. "We need to dump both Donna and Dan, the two of them are so meh..."

"What?"

"Ugh... We need to dump Donna and Dan!"

"Okay done," I told her putting a strand of my long blonde wig behind my ear.

"Next, we are getting our hair done, I'm cutting mine off and you are getting a new look." I could feel her looking at me.

"Um, okay, maybe."

"And last, we are going on vacation, two girls at The Jersey Shore. My parents used to take us there every summer, god it was so great. I always hooked up. We are going to be so popular."

'I love to love you baby'

I had a part-time job at an art gallery in the City and I loved it, but we both worked at a bank. It was forty-five minutes away by train. I got her the job. I was her boss and we had so much fun. They wouldn't give us time off in August, we had no seniority, but they gave us off the second week in September. They were doing us a big favor.

Al made me pack only my girl clothes. I was going to be Sabrina for the whole vacation. The morning before we left, we went to her salon. She cut her hair, more than a foot of it off. We ended up giving it to a friend's mother who made dolls. Now her hair landed right below her shoulders. My hair was just up to my shoulders, but I always wore a wig. The woman at the salon wanted to give me a style like Jennifer Aniston but I didn't want that.

'Madonna?"

"No."

"Princess Diana, Brooke Shields?"

"No, definitely not." I ended up with a blonde bob. Then they died it blonder with a couple of darker streaks through it, messy and sexy. I had nice bangs and my hair went just to my shoulders. I looked so good, but I knew I would have to cut it at the end of the week, I wouldn't be able to go back to work like this. The girls then did our makeup and nails and then we were off. Red lips and red nails.

Seaside Heights was only ninety minutes away.

Wednesday

We slept great that first night with the ocean air floating through the window, and six 'Bartles and James' coolers in our belly. The next day we got ready to take on the world.
