That day kept replaying in Susan's head, the genuine smile, the cake, the fact that she felt like someone cared for her. It has been 1 week and sadly in these one week the younger haven't seen ivy, she wakes up at 4 am to go to work and Ivy is sleeping at that time, Susan had her hair in a bun hairstyle and she was cleaning the store, she felt her phone vibrates in her pocket and she sighs, she kept cleaning the store when she felt someone touch her leg and she flinched looking at this guy who was now smiling at her. He winks to her and she takes a deep breath trying to go back to work when she hears he whispers to her.
" you are beautiful, hope to see you after you are done"
Her fears came all back and she starts to breathe heavenly she was having a panic attack, her best friend sees her and runs to her. Susan was out of breath and trembling, Nicha didn't know what to do, she grabs Susan's phone as she had her friends' passcode she opens to see a couple of texts from Ivy, she sees that they live together and she calls Ivy, she was trying her best to keep her friend, okay, she tells Ivy that Susan has to go to the hospital the latter was now worried and makes her way to where Susan works. Nicha was holding Susan and she remembered that the younger had an inhaler in her backpack. She sits Susan and goes to the girl's backpack trying to find the inhaler. Now in her hands she goes back to her friend who was almost passing out, she helps her with the inhaler and the younger goes back slowly. Ivy. Opens the door of the establishment and looks at the very ending Susan with her head down on the table she runs to the girl.
" Susan ??" Ivy's voice reaches Susan's ears and she looks up.
"Ivy... what you doing here?"
Susan says with a weak voice. Nicha approaches the two girls.
" So...You are Ivy?"
"Yes, That's me"
" Sorry if I bothered, she a panic attack and she wasn't breathing, she got an inhaler so I used, but I think she needs to go to a doctor..."
Ivy listened carefully to Nicha, it is one of Ivy's skill listen well to people. She now with Nicha's help took the younger to her SUV and Nicha was impressed with the luxurious car in front of her, Susan had some explaining to do once she was better. Ivy bid her goodbye to Nicha after fasting Susan's seatbelt. Entering the car she started the engine and drove to the hospital, She called her doctor asking for a time with her that the doctor granted with no hesitation, arriving at the hospital Ivy was received with all the possible Hi's and she went straight to her doctor' office, the doctor opened the door to see the younger girl on Ivy's arm wondering what was happening her doctor laid the girl on her stretcher.
" Do You know what happened ?"
" Well, she lives with me and she was at her work when she had a serious panic attack her friend told me she even had to use an Inhaler that she takes in her backpack, I didn't even know she had panic attacks leading to asthma ... " She must have been really scared or something triggered her..." The doctor said looking at the poor weak girl. The doctor starts to check the girl, Susan didn't say anything, she just stared at a blank spot in the ceiling, Ivy was looking at her carefully.
" She just needs rest, it may have been scared her, triggered an old memory? "
Ivy sighs and affirms, she took that girl into her house not knowing it would bring her trouble but also seeing that the girls' problems looked way tougher than her problems, way worse than her rich girls superficial shit, she took a deep breath telling herself that for some reason she old also be he miracle.
Now at the apartment, Susan was sleeping soundly in her bed, Ivy was preparing some Korean food when the doorbell is heard through the house. Ivy cleans her hand and goes to the door seeing an impatient couple, she laughs to herself and opens the door.
"What took you so long??"
Jade answers with her extremely loud voice, Ivy looks at her with a deadly stare.
" She is sleeping, mind your tone!"
Ivy says making the younger girl freeze in her spot and sunny be confused.
" Who is sleeping?"
Sunny say in her normal human being tone different from her wife.
" The girl who lives with me now."
Sunny was confused but let it be, then she remembered the cake the latter ordered their time and she took about 13 notes of 100 from her wallet.
"You stop giving me money please...."
Sunny said and put the bills on Ivy's coffee table.
" Sunny... I want to pay for the stuff I get"
" First of all, you haven't even spent 1000 bucks in the store... second you bought me that place it wasn't for you I wouldn't be able to afford this place. Ivy stop being so kind !"
Ivy was surprised but she smiled at her friend.
" Anyways how was the cake, was it for her ?"
Ivy turned her back making the two girls follow her to the kitchen
"It was perfect, so delicious. How do you do that???" She turns to face the girls once they can sit at the kitchen table.
" You are funny Ivy," Sunny says sarcastically to the latter and then smiles.
"Yes, it was for her. It was her 20th birthday and the first time she had a cake in about 10 years..." Sunny and Jade widen their eyes, what Ivy had said made both girls shocked how can the girl have been 10 years without a cake? They got interested in the girl when they hear footsteps around. The cutest scene crosses all the 3 girls eyes; The image of a black-haired girl with milky skin wearing a white dress while rubbing her eyes doing a cute little pout with her natural rosy lips. Ivy's heart started beating so fast at the vision coming to them, Susan has perfect skin, chubby cheeks and her hands are just like they were sculpted with care. The girl is the perfect definition of a doll. She stops in the middle of the way when she notices the 3 people staring at her, she gets shy and her cheeks start to burn, her face was all red.
" I will come back later..." She says but Ivy decides to say something.
"Please, come here. These are my friends, I would love it if you meet them and made some friends in the building as well." The younger then put her face fake on and her great acting skill to work and sits at the table with the 3 people.
" So, you are the new girl? You are so pretty."
Jade said just to receive a big smack on her arm from her wife.
Susan giggles and the 3 girls fell for her in an instant, they were looking at her with admiring expressions and she felt really confused.
"Is there something on my face?"
The three girls agree Susan started to touch her face and the girls laugh.
" It's cuteness, all over your face," Ivy says making the younger girl as red as a tomato. The bell rings again and Ivy laughs.
" Was she suppose to come here today?" Jade says knowing well who it was.
"Were you guys suppose to come here today?"Ivy fires back and Sunny laughs at her wife pouting. Ivy calmly walks to the door and opens it. She got surprised to see her friend Elise with Susan's friend, Nicha.
" Oh, come on in, please."
Susans's eyes go to the living room when she sees Nicha and a stranger.
"NICHA??" The younger yells and runs to her friend, who also surprised for the reminder that her friend was now living with that girl. Nicha hugs the younger and Ivy seems not to like it at all.
" So, what brings you here ?" Ivy shrugs her thoughts off focusing on Elise.
" I wanted to visit you, and I also know that this is Sunny and jade favourite spot on a Monday. Elise laughs and then all the 4 girls go back to the kitchen. There were only 5 seats and Nicha told Susan to sit on her lap, it made Ivy rather uncomfortable but she wouldn't say a thing.
" So, Nicha, right? What is your relationship with Elise? "
Ivy was again speaking. Nicha looks at Elise who happily smiled and did not see to mind the scene in front of her.
" Elise is my girlfriend." She said smiling, and Susan smiled as well.
Ivy only nods, she stands and calls for Elise and Sunny to come with her to her office. The girls followed the blue-haired girl to her office. Once they are inside and the door is closed, Sunny says it first.
"You like her, don't you?"
Ivy chokes on-air and looks at Sunny." Is it obvious?" I don't know If I like her, we just met but I don't know, she is just so cute, makes me want to protect her. " You are so whipped." Elise says finally for the first time. " Oh Shut Up!" Ivy said making. Elise and Sunny laugh out loud. Meanwhile in the kitchen the three other girls were left wondering, Susan was still sitting on Nichas lap while Nicha played with Susan's delicate hands. " So..Susan, right? "
Jade asks looking at the younger who was smiling brightly
"Yes, so you are the stomping girl??" Jade was Embarrassed about how the way both met. " Yeah,you can definitely say that it was me".
Jade. Laughs a little and Susan sighs.
"Are you sure you are okay? " Nicha puts her hand on the younger forehead to feel her extremely hot." You need to go back to bed, you are burning...." It did not took long for the younger to see everything go black.
"SUSAN???" Nicha yells, she shakes the girl and The office door burst open with a worried Ivy running to the kitchen." What happened??" She snatches Susan from Nicha's arms." She was a little way too pale and I touched her forehead she is burning, out of nowhere she fainted". With that Ivy took the younger girl to her own room instead of Susan's and She laid the girl in her bed and got a cool mist humidifier, and put on some relaxing music on her Alexa device. Walking back to the living room seeing 4 confused faces. " Okay, now can you talk?" Sunny was the first to ask and it bothered Ivy. " About??" Ivy says with a cold tone.
" Are you in love ? You literally just took her away, didn' spare a glance at us and this is not the Ivy we know..." Now it was Jade talking. Ivy looks and Elise was just there standing looking at her , looking furious at her and. She didn't know why." I am jus taking care of her...." Ivy walked fast to the kitchen passing by everyone and started to look for natural ingredients to make tea. " She is my best friend, you two barely know each other, what is your deal it's her ? " Ivy sighs annoyed, she looks at Nicha now taking a deep breath before saying anything. " She needed a better place, we met, she like it... She is staying and I will take care of her because she lives with me." The 4 girls were dumbfounded by how Ivy was sounding, to her 3 best friends it is not the Ivy they know." well, we will leave you to do what you want to do. We will be back later to check on both of you." That was Jade saying even tho the other Girls protested about it, they walked to the door leaving the house. Ivy went back to what she was doing and sighs. Is it really love?
