Griiiiiiiiiiiim griiiiiiim grrriiiiiiiiim
Urhhhh this stupid alarm won't allow me sleep. I begrudgingly opened my eyes and shut the alarm. Still laying back down, I stare at the ceiling with my eyes roaming every corners of it. It's another day at the agency. We have an event and as usual we are in charge of the event..
Serving drinks and food is not the problem but the men there who always gets drunk within minutes and starts misbehaving. Still on my bed thinking on how to deal with them. I won't be going to the agency until 5pm so why did I wake up with alarm. Beat me but it's just an old habit from college. My alarm is always set for everyday even the days I clearly don't need it just like today. And just like every other day. I started thinking about my life and how messed up it is.
_I was walking back home after class when someone ran up to me, and stopped me. Hey, can I walk with you? You seems to needs a company and the name is Grace. I ignored her and kept walking because I was in my own world. I like you and you seems to be a good person and every guy is talking about you, like you're a snub and all that but I don't believe them, she started again.
She seems not to shut up and obviously didn't get it that I don't want to talk. I'm not rude, I just have a lot going on in my head and I know I don't want to talk to any one. Before I could open my mouth she started again....
I want to be your friend if you don't mind, I have seen you few times so I know you also need a friend.
I stopped in my track and looked at her.
She's beautiful, extremely beautiful, long black rich hair, beautiful eyes and smiles. A little bit short and a little thick with all her figure in the right places, everything about her is beautiful.
I'm straight. I said. I don't even know why I said that but that's the first thing that came out of my mouth.
She started laughing . God No! I mean, yes I'm straight too and I didn't approach you for sex but then I wouldn't mind practicing with you, you're one find woman. She smiled.
Are you talking about yourself? Have you looked at the mirror? I couldn't help but smile too.
Oh wow, thank you. So Grace Scott is the name she repeated while extending her hands for a handshake.
I smiled and took her hand in mine. Ivy, Ivy Steel.
She surprised me by hugging me. I saw what you did back there. Wow, those guys really deserve that. They think every girl will worship them. Ha serves them right.
I don't like guys and I needed to get them off my back so I did what I have to do. I said.
Wait! what?
Thought you just said you're straight. She said with a wide eyes.
No no, I mean guys scares me and all, I don't really want them coming close to me with their rubbish....
Girl.... She cut me off. With what you pulled out there, no guy can mess with you in this life.
Oh stop exaggerating, I didn't even do anything, just simply getting them off my back.
_I wouldn't have done that she countered back._
_And just like that, we were chatting light best friend_
The sound from the door brought me back to the time and with smiles on my face I got up officially to check who's at the door. Lo and behold it's her royal majesty Grace. Thinking about the devil and she appeared.
Why are you in my house at this time in the morning. I asked.
Well, why are you still in that clothes at 9am in the morning, she replied.
Wait! What?
It's nine already, so I spent hours thinking about you on my bed.
You mean you've been thinking about me since you woke up? Girl, I don't do women and in as much as you're too pretty for your own good. I still won't fuck you. I like the dicks not cunts
I started laughing, that was what I told you when I first met you. She joined in the laughter.
Still, laughing I asked her her mission this early morning.
Can't I visit my best friend whenever I want?
_You guessed right she's always dramatic_
I went into my small kitchen to make myself some tea while she followed me.
My apartment is a small decent one, I like the extra toilet attached by the side that my guest can use. Not that I always have guests over all the time but my best friends always come around. It's small but I made it homey.
Says someone that comes around to eat food. I snorted
Ah talking about food, she ignored my comments. What do you have? She's already raking my kitchen.
I gave her a cup of coffee, she likes coffee unlike me.
I started making us breakfast while she started scrolling on her phone.
So who's the latest trophy? I asked. She makes it look like guys are her trophy whenever she succeeded in sleeping with one. Though she doesn't whore around but she definitely have sex more than me.
She smirked and snorted.
You know you need to get laid babe. Get yourself a fine dick and grind on it till his world fall on you. You need to bring heaven on earth...
And what??? I cut her off.
Do you think about anything else apart from food and dick?
Food is life and dick is heaven, she replied going back to her phone.
So who is the latest heaven? I repeated my question.
Well, unlike what you think, I don't go around fucking every dick and I'm still going out with Garry though he haven't asked me out officially but I like him. And his dick is amazing.
I rolled my eyes, still concentrating on making food.
For the record, I don't think you go around fucking every dick, but you like them anyways.
That I do sweetheart. And you need to get some too. Go fuck the shit out of his life and....
I get it, I cut her off. She can be very raw and I don't need to hear about her wildness this morning.
Here, food is ready. I dropped a plate for her on the table. Though my kitchen is small but it can accommodate four sitting area as a dinning place.
We ate in comfortable silent until she broke the silence.
So Whatcha doing today? She asked.
I have an event at the agency at 6 but will be leaving at 5. Apart from that I am not leaving this apartment till then.
Soooo, she dragged the O a little bit longer. You're getting yourself a dick tonight after the event. She was smiling cheekily.
I rolled my eyes, do you ever say something reasonable apart from dick? God woman. No but no thanks.
You know you are lucky you will be seeing lots of rich people, you can get yourself one guy. Not just the cute ones but also rich. I'm so jealous.
Oh please, rich people are rude and thinks the whole world should worship them. Its not even funny when they are drunk.
Well, since you're not so occupied until 5pm, we are going to the mall. She chipped in.
Don't you have work? I asked.
Oh I took a day off, plus it's Friday already so why not start my weekend early. Though I have few things I need to get from the mall, so go get changed let's moveeee.
I have finished eating by now so I just cleaned my plate and went into the room to freshen up.
Took a shower and did my other business.
Choosing a cloth to wear is always a problem to me but coming out of the bath room my best friend already brought out cloth for me. So sweet.
I put on my black undies and the black jeans pants she choose, paired it with a blue crop top. Putting my hair in a ponytail, I applied a lipgloss and stepped out with my sandals in my hands.
So, what are we getting from the mall? I asked.
Before she could answer, my phone rang.
Checking the caller it was Scarlett. I showed it to Grace and picked the call, putting it on loudspeaker.
Hi Scar, what's up.
I'm good. I needed to get something from the mart so I said let me check if you wanna come with me.
Oh yea, G and I are about to go to the mall so I guess we can do some shopping together. What about Ella?
She's with me and we're coming out together. How about we meet at Starbucks then we decide on where to go?
Fine by me I replied. So it's officially a girls day out. Ending the call I grabbed my purse checking the contents and nodding, I gave G a confirmation look that we can go.
I locked my door, double checking on it because my area is not really in the best location.
Grace started her car while waiting for me to get in. I don't have a car but I have a licence and I can drive too.
I entered and she drove off to Starbucks. I tuned a music and we started singing. We both has a nice voice so we kept singing until we get to our destination. It was a 20 minutes drive.
Getting inside, Scar and Ella are already seated in a corner with a cup in front of them.
Scar was backing us, so Ella saw us first. She smiled and waved at us. She's the shy one among us though with us she doesn't seems to be the shy Ella. Scar turned and smiled too.
We got to the table and gave each other hugs with Grace asking for our own cups of whatever they ordered.
Ella snorted, like you both didn't just have a heavy breakfast before coming here.
And who told you that? Grace asked.
Everyone knows Ivy makes the best food and loves cooking, she always have food or something to Cook at home. Unlike you that always goes to her place to eat, you may consider moving in with her though, said Scar.
Oh common, we all love going to her place because of food and she's like our mother hen here. Grace said holding my hand dramatically.
Wow, such best friends. So you guys keeps me around because of food. Good I know now. I teased.
We all laughed.
So Ella, what's up? How is it going with Collins.
Typical Grace to always ask about men. I rolled my eyes.
At the question Ella turned red.
Collins is Ella's boyfriend, they have been together for like 6 months now and Ella is always at his place. Collins this and Collins that.
Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her but they make it seems like guys are everything. I don't think about them and I'm definitely not in a rush to get hooked with a guy.
He's good and kicking. He traveled out of town, I miss him already.
Ella spoke cutting my train of thought
Soooo, you never told us how good he is in bed, G chipped.
I rolled my eyes, I think I do that alot lately, While Scar hit Grace on her back playfully. Ella looked away shyly.
G do you talk about anything else apart from guys and their body structures? Scar asked.
Well...G started but I cut her off.
Let's get going girls I have a job to keep and I need to rest before I start my long night shift in a room filled with assholes.
And with that, we all stood up and left for the mall.
I got in with Grace while Scar got in with Ella in her car.
She signalled us to follow her, Ella is the shoperholic among us so she knows where to go.
10 minutes later, we found ourselves is fancy mall which I know I won't be buying anything because of the prices attached to them.
Ella rushed to the clothing section where she started scanning for something she likes.
Don't you have a wardrobe spilling out with clothes? I asked.
I need more for different occasions plus I need to always look good for Collins. She replied.
There you go.... Buying clothes for all the wrong reasons.
I think I agree with Ella Vy, Grace remarked.
I'm not surprised you're agreeing .
I just walk around like I was getting something just to buy time until they are done.
While looking around I saw a red bodycon gown. The beauty made me walk to where it was hanging...
I know you love that dress, you kept looking at it. Do you want me to buy it? I mean it will look good on you. Andy said.
It's our six months anniversary and we went out to celebrate it.
My brother Stephen never really liked my boyfriend and he always make it obvious but my boyfriend is nothing but sweet to me. I remember when he called me this morning and asked for a date.
It wasn't our anniversary yet, but half a year felt just as special to us—a milestone worth celebrating.
On the morning of the big day, I woke up to find a text on my phone follow by a call table.
"Meet me at the park where it all began. 6 PM. Dress warm."
My heart fluttered. He always had a knack for surprises, and our story had begun at kalewood Park. I spent the day replaying our moments together: our awkward first date at a food truck, the time we got caught in the rain, and the lazy Sunday afternoons spent baking cookies that somehow always turned out burnt. I had been learning to cook and bake, practicing the ideal wife. Even though I know I will go back to college but I need to use that time for us.
At 6 PM sharp, I arrived at the park, wrapped in my favorite coat and scarf. Fairy lights had been strung between the trees, casting a warm glow in the cool evening. Andy stood there, grinning, holding a thermos and a picnic basket.
"You remembered!" I exclaimed, eyes lighting up.
"Of course I did," Andy said, pulling me close. "This is where we started, so I figured it's the best place to celebrate us."
We spread out a blanket near the pond, and Andy revealed the contents of the basket: hot chocolate, cookies (non-burnt this time), and my favorite strawberry shortcake.
"You baked?" I teased, knowing his last attempt had set off the smoke alarm.
"Let's just say the bakery down the street deserves all the credit," he laughed.
As we sipped our hot chocolate and shared the cake, I reached into my bag and pulled out a small box.
"What's this?" He asked, curious.
"Just a little something," I said, blushing.
Inside the box was a tiny, handcrafted wooden key.
"A key?" He asked, puzzled.
"To my heart," I said, my voice soft. "Cheesy, I know. But it's true."
He grinned, slipping the key into his pocket. "Good thing I already lost mine to you six months ago."
We later strolled down passing a few shops and I saw a beautiful red dress. I stood, admiring it.
Later we walked down and sat down admiring the serenity of where we are.
We sat there under the twinkling lights, laughing, reminiscing, and dreaming about the future. Six months had flown by, but in that moment, we both knew they were building something timeless. (So I thought)
It wasn't just a celebration of the past half-year—it was a promise of many more to come. (So I thought)
That night was also the first night he tried to have sex with me but I refused.. I told him to wait until I finish college.
His attitude slightly changed after that night but I left back to college the next weekend so I didn't think much about it. I thought he would come around later.
Need help? A sales rep asked. Bringing me back to the moment.
I touched it just to feel it only to hear a screeching sound of another girl asking me to not touch the cloth because she saw it first.
Haaa, really?
Let's see how this goes then.
