Emilee Ortega is asked by her father to travel across the country while he films his latest show. She was more than willing to take on this new adventure with her best friend Erynn Champlain at her side. The girls are always up for something new, bu...
Today Owen and I had planned to go shopping for Emilee's birthday. We didn't know exactly what to get her but we both agreed that it needed to be special. We made a secret plan to tell everyone that we were just hanging out since no one ever thought we were good at keeping secrets.
I pulled on a white graphic tee and my Levis before making my way to the bathroom. I freshened up and decided to throw my hair into a loose low bun before walking out to grab my things. Emilee was sitting at the kitchen island on her laptop when I walked in. She was too concentrated on her writing to notice my presence so I quietly made myself a coffee, careful not to disturb her. I opened the fridge and grabbed the soy milk to add to my coffee once it was ready and placed it on the counter. I turned my attention to my roommate. I cleared my throat causing her to look up at me.
"If you need anything today just text me okay? I might not pick up if you call me, Owen said he had a lot planned so I'm not really sure what to expect." I laughed out, grabbing my cup once the coffee was ready.
She giggled, shutting her laptop and pointing at one of the cups sitting in our cabinet. I reached up and grabbed one, filling it with coffee and handing it to her. She thanked me, and responded, "Yeah that's fine. I'll be with Char and Jer so heads up if he answers my phone if you call." I rolled my eyes playfully and downed my coffee, setting the cup in the dishwasher.
"Then I just simply won't call." I joked out with a smile, walking towards the door. She laughed from behind me and told me to have fun. I slipped on my sneakers and grabbed my purse before heading out the door. When the elevator opened Kenny was standing there with a script in his hands. He looked up as the doors opened and smiled when he saw it was me.
"Hi, sweetie! Where are you off to this early? You're never up before 11." Kenny questioned as I stepped into the elevator. I waited to respond until the doors closed.
"Owen and I are going out to find something for Em's birthday. Any ideas?" I asked him to which he shook his head.
"No, sorry, Em and I have a tradition of presents so I already know what I'm getting her." He sighed out, looking up at the dial above the doors that indicated what floors we were passing.
"That's a shame," I chuckled, "because Owen and I have no idea what to get her." Kenny laughed and placed a hand on my shoulder.
"Love, you know her better than anyone. You'll know what to get her." He assured me, trying to calm my nerves but failing. I huffed out a reply as the doors reopened once we had gotten to the main floor. I sat on one of the couches in the lobby while I waited for him to pick me up.
I opened up my Spotify and pulled out my headphones, deciding to listen to some music while I waited. A few songs went by when Emilee came from the elevators, sending me a wave before making her way out onto the street. Man, I need to get a car. I pulled out my phone and sent Owen a quick text asking where he was.
