"who's a good girl?"
I hugged my knees as I watched the rain fall from my window seat, it was finally the weekend and I was in my cozy pj's, with my favorite snacks and my favorite movie playing on my laptop.
The movie was slightly based on horror but not at the same time, anyways it was a good movie.
I tried to focus on the movie but I was so captivated by the rain, This is one of the reasons why i love my window seat, it gives me a beautiful view from above.
My penthouse is on the 15th floor which is high - for me at least. My brother's own is on the 24th of another building, which isn't that far from here.
I'm very much comfortable with my floor, especially when it rains, and I'm inside warm and cozy.
The rain trickle is down the glass, blurs of light from below mixing in, like a blurry picture and making the feeling more peaceful.
I slightly jumped, my train of thought cut short when my phone rang. I usually put my phone on do not disturb on weekends or at times like these, so I can have peace.
I grabbed my phone about to end the call and lock my phone but I saw it was Jessica on the line.
"Why's she calling?" I sigh, usually she's busy on weekends too.
"Hey babe" she greeted
"Hey" I smiled, though she couldn't see it.
"I'm surprised your phone is reachable, you're usually off on weekends" she chuckled, I knew she knows about my DND weekends.
"More the reason why I should ask, why you're calling me " I rolled my eyes playfully.
She chuckles before responding "because I have exciting news" she said calmly and I could feel her smirk over the phone.
"Jess, just spill, stop the suspense" I sighed, I really don't have strength for the suspense.
"You're no fun. But I'll spill... I'm in the states"
I froze, and blinked back to process the information, I had to stand up from my chair. "You're where?"
She giggles "you heard me girl. I'm in the states, came in yesterday"
I gasped "are u for real? You sly!"
She laughed at my reaction "surprised?"
"Damn right I am bitch. You didn't even say anything...wait which hotel are you in?"
"Royal stars, I came back because of work but I got some free time for us to hang out"
"For reals?"
"Yeah. There's an event coming up and guess one I get to bring a plus one and...I want you to come with me..."
I paused "me?"
"That's if you're free, it's tomorrow"
"Tomorrow!? Why didn't you say this sooner!" I yelled shocked, how am I supposed to prepare instantly?
"I know, I know. I'm sorry...I totally forgot about it. And when I found out I was supposed to bring, every one was already paired. You're my last hope" she asks and I know she would be using her puppy dog eyes on me, if I could see her.
"Okay okay, you're lucky I'm free tomorrow after Mass" I sighed.
She squealed "see! That's why I love you!"
"Yeah, yeah. Whatever " I rolled my eyes at her.
"Thanks again babe. Love you "
She hung up.
Just like that.
I sighed and put my phone in do not disturb...I was already thinking of how I'm supposed to dress up for that event, especially since tomorrow is Sunday.
Dropping my phone I went back to my movie. I sat back into my window seat and played my movie, at least I could enjoy my Saturday.
....
You know when the day runs by so quickly, that you feel like you just blinked and boom it's already the next day?
Yeah... guess what?
I was currently looking at the two finest dresses I could be comfortable with for this stuff.
It hadn't been long since I came back from a Sunday Mass, and since Jessica said the event was by 1pm I still had two hours before time reached.
I sighed, this was so unplanned and here I was confused about what to wear. My hair was in a messy bun and I was in a baggie top and bum shorts as I still decide on what to wear.
"This looks nice but too casual" I point to the brown colored gown, muttering to myself.
"And this...too much flare" I eyed the black gown, it was nice with a long slit reaching the thigh but it was a dinner gown, and I wear it once in a while.
I grumbled, taking my phone and sitting on the bed frustrated.
"You definitely owe me" I grumbled to myself, upset for Jessica not telling me sooner.
My phone buzzed.
Well speak of the bitch...
"Hey, I'm outside"
Right..I sent one of my friends to help me pick her up to bring her here.
"Good. Now get your ass up here"
I said a little pissed and hung up, i wasn't that mad but I was frustrated. Within 10 minutes a knock was heard on my door and I immediately went to open engulfing her in a hug and yelling in her face.
"You're mean, you know that right?" I grumbled closing the door as she entered, she was more beautiful now than the last time we saw.
Her black hair was packed up in a cute ponytail and she was in a pair of joggers and a tank top, with a leather jacket over it.
"Missed me!?" She screams into my ear excitedly.
"Maybe?" I shrugged smirking and we embraced each other again chuckling. It had been a long time since I last saw her.
She smiles as she lets go of me, "glowing as ever gurrrl" she squeezes me lightly.
"Alright alright. You still have to explain yourself" I folded my arms, slightly pouting at her.
She waves me off and chuckles as she enters into my living room "and still as rigid as ever" she mutters and goes to lounge on my couch and take her shoes off.
"Nice place though. It literally has everything you wanted when we were back in college " she looks around as I sighed getting her a glass of orange juice.
"Yeah. I guess hard work does pay off" I smiled handing over the glass.
She takes it "and having a fucking rich brother too" she mumbles and I rolled my eyes.
"Anyways I need help picking a dress" I sighed heading into my room and bringing out my choices. "This looks nice" I hold up the brown gown "but also too casual" showing her the black gown with the slit "and this is a dinner gown. And I'm so damn tired" I sighed and dropped the gowns heading over to her side and slumped on the chair deflated.
She looks over at them "the brown looks good" she nods sipping on her juice. "Doesn't matter if it's casual, it's not a too formal occasion either, plus...it goes well with your features" she nods at me.
I looked at the dress, it was a simple style, it reached my knee and was a body hog dress with flay arms design and a v cut at the neck.
"I'll go get dressed then...what about you?"
She holds her bag, "got everything right here"
