Chapter 4

A burst of sunlight bled through the curtains and disturbed the sleeping figure lying on the oversized bed. With a frustrated groan Brenda opened her eyes and cast a murderous look at the evil sun, cursing it for awakening her from her slumber. She sat upright and checked the clock sitting on the table beside the bed. It read 9:00 am.

Brenda threw the covers off of her and walked towards the bathroom to take a quick shower. As she turned on the tap and started to massage the shampoo into her hair thoughts of the night before flooded her mind. She recalled taking a shower earlier and remembered the events that followed it; Dylan arriving, their "conversation", and their heated make out session. Brenda ran her fingertips across her lips and remembered the way his lips felt against hers the night before.

She shook the thoughts away, "Now, is so not the time to be thinking about this."

Brenda rinsed her hair, exited the tub and toweled off. Making her way to the sink she began to brush her teeth. Against her will thoughts of Dylan began to enter her mind again. She really needed to talk to him and get everything cleared up. What did last night mean? Did he want to be with her? Was there a future for them?

She spit the suds of the toothpaste out and rinsed her mouth. Walking back into the bedroom she opened her suitcase and realized she didn't have much to wear. She decided to go shopping later in the day and pick up some much-needed things she would need during her stay in Beverly Hills. Deciding to call Donna Brenda picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Silvers.

After a few rings a cheerful female's voice came onto the line, "Silver residence."

"Donna is that you, it's me Brenda."

"Oh my god, Brenda! How are you?" Donna exclaimed.

"I'm great, how are you? How's the married life?" Brenda couldn't help but smile, Donna's glee was infectious.

"It's fabulous. I'm never been happier."

Brenda's smile only grew wider. She was happy for her friend. She got the fairy tale ending, "That's great to hear. I missed you guys so much so I decided to pay visit. Are you busy today?"

Donna's squee of joy carried onto the line, "Your in town? I didn't know. Of course I'm not busy. Honey, come on over we have a lot of catching up to do. David is at work right now but he'll be home for lunch. Why don't you have lunch with us then we all can head over to the Peach Pit a long with the rest of the gang. We've all missed you so much."

A shot of nervousness traveled up Brenda's spine but she quickly shot that feeling down. She was not going to let anything stop her from seeing her friends even if it was her own insecurities.

"I'd like that," said Brenda.

"Fantastic, is twelve okay with you?" Donna answered not letting Brenda reply she continued, " This is just great, I can't wait to see you. I'm sur-"

"Twelve sounds good to me," Brenda cut in, " I'm just going to head to the mall and pick up a few things then I'll head over to your place."

"Good, I'm gonna let you go and I'll see you in a few hours. Bye." Donna ended the conversation with the sound of her smacking her lips together as if she were really kissing Brenda on the cheek.

The line went dead before Brenda could return the farewell. Placing the phone back down she got dress choosing a white jean peddle-pusher and a black camisole that had a v-neckline. Quickly making the bed she headed out the door and got into her car. To say that Brenda was nervous was an understatement. She was absolutely terrified. But she immediately squashed down those feelings again. She knew she had to go through with this. She knew the entire gang would be there including Dylan and she decided she would speak to him there after she became reacquainted with the gang. Taking a deep breath she started the engine and headed off to the mall. Today would be the day that decided the fate of Dylan and her. It would be the day that would decided if she would make her stay permanent in 90210.
