In Another Life

Short story 2

We're on our way to the condominium. We just finished our all-day class, and now is the time for me to surprise Juliane. I'm analyzing how I should tell her to go upstairs first. Seriously, I'm worried. 

"Jul, you can go first; I'll just get something from the convenience store."

"Oh sure I'll go now." I sighed with relief because I expected her to ask more questions. I go get the surprise gift for Jul, and I hope she likes it. Don't worry, aside from that, I bought a ticket to Enchanted Kingdom for both of us. She's been telling me lately that she wants to go to an amusement park and have fun without worrying about anything.

Juliane is my bestfriend since we we're kids. Our parents both bestfriend also. I admit I cannot live without her, she's like a joint in my life. It's a simple gift but I know she will love it. I was about to enter my unit code when I suddenly feel a chest pain. I held my chest tightly and closed my eyes because of the pain. I sighed deeply and tried to stand straight. I think it's just a normal ache that's why I didn't bother. I fix myself and enter the code, I found juliane in the kitchen preparing our foods.

"SURPRISED! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISSY I LOVE YOU SO SO MUCH!" she has a teary eye now. She ran to me and hug me tightly, this what I love about her. Simple things and movements makes her feel like she's the happiest in the world and I'm so proud of her in the reason of that.

"Aww thankyouu so much thallia ko, Iloveyouu infinity. How did you get this? We were on school before, so how?"

"I have mang pido duhh." I smirked

"Yabang! I'll tell mang pido to pick you up late at school blehhh!"

"You wish! By the way, guess what my other gift for you is, hmm?"

"Woahh, I have a wealthy bestfriend, huh, I think it's a car?"

"Asa! hey, I'm not ur sugar mommy noh." It's a good idea but it's really expensive! I can't afford to buy a car for now hahha.

"AHAHAHAHA seriously sugar mommy talaga? I already have my sugar daddy so I don't need a mommy." she even hold her tummy while laughing.

"I guess you should stop laughing, it's not that funny, your crazy."

"OK, fine, I think it's a book? OMG, it's one of those Harry Potter books! am I right?"

"Nope, wrong answer."

"Then whaaat!?" 

"Give up guessing?" she nod to me. I took my bag and took out the ticket I bought for the EK.

"here ohh." her eyes suddenly widened.

"OMG THALLIA MARIEEEE!" I'm enjoying how she reacted to my gift.

"You like it?" I said smiling

"Supeeeer duper like it! when are we going? I'm so excited!" 

"At saturday, so get your belongings ready okay?"

"okaaay! thankyouu so much again, ugly u hehe."

 The day ends with a smile and laughter, and I can't wait what tomorrow brings.

"Good morning!" I greet juliane with a smile

"Good morning sissy! It's morning but I have a favor plsss." Juliane with her sleepy voice.

"Hmmm what is it?"

"I'm too lazy to get up can you buy me a coffee; don't worry I'll treat you." she pout trying to be cute.

"Ok fine, be thankful because your cute hmp!" I act like I was about to hit her

I did my morning routine before I decided to go down and buy our coffee. I didn't bother to change clothes, I just added a jacket because it's time consuming if I change and I know it's cold outside.

I finally arrived in the starbucks and I am now in the front lane.

"Good morning ma'am may I know what is your order?"

"Uhmm give me 1 Macchiato and 1 Espresso please."

"1 macchiato and 1 espresso coming po ma'am, please wait in the waiting area."

I am now standing in the waiting area when the door opens with a clinging sound. I turn my head and I am so shookt because I saw Austin Rage. Yeah right as in Austin Rage the man that I accidentally bump to. Oh my gosh what should I do? Should I greet him or should I act like I didn't see him. Thallia think! I'm like a crazy woman who is lecturing herself with her brain and ~~

"Thallia right?" I froze. He's here omg what should I do???? I turned around slowly.

"uhmm yeah? Hello Austin, how are you?" I said nervous, my hand is literally shaking and sweating right now and I don't know why.

"oww so u remember my name, that's nice. By the way I'm good. You probably done ordering, can you wait me here? I will just order mine and let's hangout then eat lunch.  May I ask if it is okay to you? Are you free?" Austin said and I was about to say yes but I remember Juliane's coffee.

"Ahm yes I'm free but the reason I am here is my best friend asks me to buy her a coffee so I should give the coffee to her first. Is it okay that we pass by in my unit first?" I think he's nice naman, and I'll suggest that we stay in a crowded area so that we're safe.

"Sure, wait here okay I'll order now." He turned his back on me and finally I let out the romantic excitement that I am keeping for a moment. 

When he is done ordering we just waited our coffee and finally leave the place. We are now on the way to my unit. I'm so nervous, I don't know why. 

We are in the same car, yeah car, even my unit is near we choose to used his car because we will need it later after we drop this coffee.

"You can park in no.212 that's my place." I told him. we are now in the parking lot

He parked the car like an expert, I'm so amazed though. My parents won't let me drive because I might get into an accident which I understand besides there is always someone who is willing to drive for me.

We are now taking the path through my unit. I enter the pass code and finally enter the unit with Austin.

"You can seat for a while. I will call juliane so you can see her too, feel at home" I said and immediately go to room to find juliane doing her stuff.

"Sis your coffee is on the table."

"Yeeey! Thank you thal mwuahh!" Juliane said and give me a flying kiss

"ahmm jul..."

"yes?what is it?"
