A Week in Kourtnee’s World, Mesmerized by a Closet

7-17-97, 5:00 AM

The alarm was set for 5:00 AM. I was supposed to go up to Shimmers and work out with Leslie. I heard the alarm buzz. I woke up. I turned the clock off instead of hitting the snooze button. Kourtnee asked me what time it was. I told her it was 5:00. She said ok and went back to sleep. We were supposed to be up at Shimmers at 6:00.

I felt a jolt on the bed. Kourtnee was screaming my name, telling me to get up. I grunted and didn’t move. Kourtnee shook me, trying to get me up. I looked at her. She told me to get up because it was 5:39. We had overslept. I got up as Kourtnee was leaving the room. I came downstairs dressed with all my stuff at 5:45. I walked into Kourtnee’s room. She was still in the bathroom. I laid down on her bed and went to sleep. Kourtnee shook me to wake me up. She asked me why wasn’t I ready to go. I said that I was. I told her that my stuff was already in the car. I said that I was waiting on her. She hit me with a pillow. She fixed her hair as she told me to go in her closet and get her black pair of Janelli’s heels.

I went into her closet. I had never paid attention to Kourtnee’s closet before, but her closet was very well organized. The clothes in her closet were hung by type, and then by color. He closet had two sides. On one side, there were her sleeveless blouses, her blouses with short sleeves, her short sleeved shirts, her long sleeved shirts, and then her sweaters. On the other side of the closet were her skirts, her pants, her jeans, her pants suits, her dress suits, and then her dresses. Everything in her closet were arranged by colors; white, black, blue, brown, purple, red, etc. Each type of clothes were arranged in the same color order. Her shoes were under her shirts and blouses. They were arranged by dressiness and then by color. The color arrangement was the same as her clothes; white, black, blue, brown, purple, red, etc. Kourtnee was very anal. I liked order, but this was a bit crazy.

When I came back from my state of shock, Kourtnee was bending down getting the pair of shoes that she had told me to get. As I shook my head, I heard Kourtnee ranting about me paying attention. I walked out of the closet. I was staring at her the whole time. She asked me why I was staring at her. I didn’t say anything. She told me to come on. We left the house at 6:05. We made it to Shimmers at 6:38 AM.
