"They are here!" I said while getting up.
"Who are?" Caleb asked.
"You will see." I winked and turned to leave.
I left him in the living room and went to open the door. The delivery service they provided was top notch. They did just as I had requested and I loved it. It was special to me because it was something to give to Caleb. I had to have everything looking perfect. They had removed the price tags and dry cleaned them. They also sent it in hangers so it was easy to just put it in place.
"Come in." I said after confirming everything. "All this will go to the first room on the left. Make sure it is put out well. I am sure you know how to do it right." I said in a deep tone.
"Yes, Sir. We will have it done right away." They quickly left to get things done.
I myself was not free. I had to distract Caleb while they moved things in. It wasn't easy feigning ignorance while people went in and out of your house.
"So, what was that all about? I saw people come in and go in less than 10 minutes carrying bags or something." He was skeptical.
"What about we go see what they did with your room? I guess you picked the theme for it so it should be somewhat similar. Let's go." I skillfully dodged the question
"...Fine."
He opened the door and switched the light on and he froze on the spot.
"It can't be. No way. In just a day…they did the remodeling and the furniture. Even the details are so…well put. Pluss why is the wardrobe full. If I remember correctly we came home with one box that you carried."
He was staring at me with eyes saying they needed answers. I for sure was going to abide.
"Simple. These guys are professionals. They have everything even before you asked for it. They probably took longer because it was a sudden request I made. I don't do this often so they rushed a bit. But the clothes just came dry cleaned and ready to be worn. And finally the important part, my gift." I gave him the box that I carried with me. He opened it, his eyes glistening. His hands finally found the latest waterproof, high resolution camera and fast processor phone I got for him. It was black.
"T-this is too much. A lot…I don't even know how to thank you. I ap-appreciate it. Truly." He said as his eyes were watery now. I could tell it took every fiber of him not to be a crying mess right now.
"We are going to be staying together for some time so get used to it. And this is how I treat my one and only best friend who's been there for me in hard times so we should share the good times as well don't you think."
"Yeah. Thanks." His voice was a bit low but it was enough so that I could hear it.
"No Biggy. Get some rest okay. Today has been long. See you in the morning. Night." I said as I walked back to the living room.
I still had to keep track of things. Today, I simply couldn't say no so I had to work tonight. I curled up in a blanket and held the laptop on my lap. I began the urgent requests that needed my direct care and forwarded the rest to my crew. They would send me the finished product after a while. I finally finished but my legs were numb from the uncomfortable position. I think it would be best for me to sleep here. I was too numb to stand anyway. I set the laptop on the front table and quickly fell asleep.
