We arrive at the mall and make our way inside. Side by side.
"Did I tell you the other reason why we're here" Bee asks
"Other reason? There's another reason why we are here?"
"Yeah, the main reason I brought you here was for a mani-pedi and massages at the spa" she explains
I squeal while jumping up and down.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. You're the best, Bee" I say while giving her a hug.
We enter the spa and get assisted by the receptionist.
After our mani-pedis and the massages, I feel more relaxed.
We make our way to the food court to grab something to eat.
"I am starving" Bee says while rubbing her growling stomach
"You just had breakfast" I say as we take our seats at a table.
"Yeah, 4 hours ago" she says while raising 4 fingers to emphasise
"Whatever"
We begin eating our food and I let out a sigh as the taste of food reaches my tongue.
"I still have 3 hours before my shift, so lets do some quick shopping" Bee says
"Okay"
We finish our meals and begin shopping.
~~~~~~~~
"Oh my gosh, these bags are really heavy" I groan
"Girl please, you're only holding four bags. What about me. I'm holding six"
"Not my fault you got carried away. Did you have to park your car that far though?" I complain
"Just hurry up. I need to drop you off before I head to work" she says
We get to the car and take our seats after putting all the shopping bags in the backseat.
"Could we stop at the supermarket? I need to buy a few things." I ask
"Sure, but you better not take more than five minutes in there" she replies
We reach the supermarket and I quickly go buy the things I need.
On my way out the store I bump into a hard chest
"I'm so sor- BEEP!"
I am cut off by the continuous beeping of a car. I look towards where the sound is coming from and see that it's Bianca who is actually hooting the car at me.
I hurriedly make my way towards the car but before I get in I look behind me to see the person I bumped into but he's already left.
"Seven minutes,El. SEVEN MINUTES!! Seriously do you want me to be late for work or better yet lose my job. Like really" Bianca begins yelling as soon as I get inside.
But what did I expect. I mean Bee is the most impatient person I've ever met. I love her and all but sometimes she can be a bit too much especially when she exaggerates and blows things out of proportion like she's doing now
"Are you even listening to me?" She asks
"Um what, I mean yes" I say unsure
"Ugh seriously El, what took you so long? Seven minutes and for what" she says while rummaging through my plastic bags.
"popcorn, ice cream, frozen pizza...."
I tune her out the rest of the way home
~~~~~~~
"Bye Bee" I say to her as I get out of the car and grab my bags from the backseat.
"Bye, see you tomorrow" she says back just before I shut the car door.
I make my way into the apartment building and take the elevator up.
When I reach the third floor, I quickly go into my apartment and place the grocery bags on the kitchen counter and take the bags with my clothes to my room.
As soon as I step inside the room, I drop all the bags and throw myself on my bed but quickly stand back up after realising that the bed is still wet even though I left the window open to let the fresh air to dry it.
'Guess I'll be sleeping in the other room tonight' I think to myself
I sigh and check the time on the clock. 15:05, It reads. I go to the bathroom to take a long, warm shower.
After the much needed shower, I get dressed in my pajamas and make my way back to the kitchen. I start taking out the grocery's I bought from the bag and placing them into where they're supposed to be.
After some time I notice that something's missing in the bags. I start recalling all the items I bought. I let out a gasp when I realise what I'm not finding. My ice cream!
'I'm so killing Bianca the next time I see her' I think to myself.
She must've taken it while going through my plastics earlier today.
"Now how am I supposed to complete my movie night snacks without ice cream" I say to myself while stomping my foot to the ground.
I get the popcorn ready and place them in a bowl. I also get my other snacks ready and take them to the living room with me.
Titanic here I come.
Two now empty bowls of snacks and popcorn, one empty box of tissue and two hours later. The movie ends and I get ready for bed.
I say a quick prayer and a text to my parents notifying that all is well before falling asleep
