Eloise and Leah had left the convenience store and were now walking side by side to their apartment and in Leah's left hand were several nylon bags containing the things she had bought. And in her right hand was a bottle of soda which she constantly sipped from.
"I thought you only wanted to buy a hangover drink, what are those in your hands? And since when has soda become a hangover drink?" Eloise asked with a sigh as she rubbed her hands on her forehead, trying to ease the headache she was feeling.
"Yo, I couldn't find the particular drink I was looking for. And this in my hand is what I bought for breakfast, we aren't gonna starve this morning." Leah answered but Eloise shook her head in response.
It turned silent between them as they walked slowly. The sun was already up and it was a bit windy, it was the windy period and the breeze carried the smell of rose flowers around the place.
Meanwhile, the guy with the baseball cap from earlier had just finished with the phone call. He had ended the call and placed his phone right into his pocket.
He stood before an apartment building, seemingly waiting for someone. And within a few minutes of standing there, a Coupé sports car pulled up right before him and a young man dressed in a corporate suit came out from the car, and was holding a huge box.
With the box in his hands, the young man bowed to the man in a baseball cap and then handed it over to him.
"Thank you, you can go now and don't tell anyone I'm here, not even my mother, got it?" The guy in a baseball cap warned and turned around and was ready to leave.
"But why? If I may ask sir." The young man asked with a curious frown.
His question made the guy in a baseball cap stop for a second but did not respond and only proceeded to enter the apartment building.
The young then entered the car without saying a word and he drove off.
Meanwhile, the two young ladies were now close to their apartment building when a grey sports car drove past them.
"It must feel good to be so rich, I'm sure that car costs a lot of money." Leah sighed as she looked in the direction of where the car drove off to.
But Eloise wasn't listening as her head was too occupied with a lot of things. But she snapped out of her deep thoughts when Leah nudged her with her shoulder.
"Yo, why don't we do this?" Leah asked, her eyes shining brightly and Eloise could already tell she was up to no good.
"Do what?" Eloise asked, already expecting Leah to come up with something stupid.
"Whoever reaches the elevator last will be the one to prepare breakfast, alright? Starts now!" And before Eloise could understand what she had said, Leah had already zoomed off, running as fast as she could as if her life depended on it.
"You! How...hey!" Eloise ran after her while trying hard to keep up but it seemed Leah was faster.
'You are quite healthy and strong for someone suffering from a hangover.' Eloise screamed in her head while running after Leah.
Soon they both got into their apartment building but Leah was ahead and was the person closest to the elevator and soon she got to the elevator.
It looked like someone was already inside the elevator because Leah got right into it before it could shut close and Eloise followed right after.
Leah smiled while breathing heavily but the same couldn't be said for Eloise.
"What the heck was that?" Eloise asked while trying to catch her breath.
"I don't know what you are talking about but one thing's for sure, you are gonna make us breakfast, yo!" Leah cheered but Eloise was having none of it.
Leah was still smiling and cheering to herself when Eloise suddenly pulled her hair, yanking her head backwards and catching her off guard.
Still holding onto Leah's hair, Eloise said, "How childish can you be? If you had wanted me to make breakfast, you could have just asked."
"Why be so serious? Let go of my hair!" Leah screamed but Eloise only grabbed hard at her hair and soon both ladies gripped each other's hair, ready to rip it off their scalps.
However, the sound of someone clearing his throat interrupted them and silence fell, they paused and stared at each other to be sure they both heard right and slowly made a dramatic turn to see that someone had been in the elevator with them the whole time.
They had been so immersed in each other that they had forgotten about the fact that the elevator had been open and was closing up before they ran in.
They both stood there in awkward silence, still having each other's hair in their grasp as they stared unblinkingly at the ice-grey eyes of the man with a baseball cap that stared back at them with curiosity and confusion.
