Her Fairy Tale

21. a new friend

10 minutes before 5 I was ready, I dressed in my floral blouse and a long black skirt. I wore my hight boots and then I was off to go. I got a message from Steph saying she is here. I walked down the stairs with hand bag and my phone. I was halfway through the door when Rosie called me from behind.

"Where are you going?" She asked me.

"Somewhere" I shrugged.

"You .." she started but I interrupted her.

"I am going with a friend.. from my town. She lives here, she will drop me back" I said and went out not waiting for her to reply back. Guard opened the door for me, thank God not questioning me. I saw a car standing few steps away and a girl leaning on the bonnet who smiles when she saw me. I walked towards her smiling myself.

"Hey how's my girl?" She chirped while hugging me. I hugged her back.

"I am .. good" I said and she gave me a look.

"Will tell you later" I dismissed.

"Well I am all ears" she smirked and then we sat inside the car.

"Is it yours? You can drive?" I asked her awing at the car and at her she was dressed in a croptop and shorts not exactly what we wear back at home but she looks good.

"Even though I am upset that you didn't tell me about your arrival, I am still happy that you ran away from that shit hole" she exasperated.

"Shhh don't curse" I said.

"You are too innocent for your own good" she tsked.

"And what does that mean?" I asked.

"Nothing, let's show you what you are missing" she told me.

"I really thought to tell you about my arrival here but then I realized you would be the first one where they would find me" I told her.

"You are right, Carlos and Max called me to ask if you are with me and that's how I knew about you" she told me.

"Max knows about my whereabouts" I said

"Ofcourse he do, he is your favorite brother isn't he?" She joked.

"Steph he is my only brother" I laughed.

"Still your favorite one" she smirked.

"Yeah yeah" I laughed at her silliness

"So what about Carlos and the marriage? I thought you liked him?" She asked me.

"Steph I do like him but not like that, may be in future I.. will marry him, he is a nice guy he cares for me, he bears my tantrums, he helps me with everything, he understands me more than I understand myself. I will marry him when I will think of marriage but I don't want to get married anytime soon" I said.

"Okay that's fine" she said.

"And are you living with Aaron Ray Ford?" She asked me to which I nod sorrowfully. I don't want to hear his name or talk about him.

"Can we not talk about him, please?" I requested and she nods letting it go.

We parked infront of a large building, I think this is where she lives. She had send me pictures of her building and her house when she first moved here. We went inside the lift and to the 6th floor. There were 4 to 5 house on each floor. We went inside her apartment, it was medium sized with two rooms one living room and a kitchen. She shared it with her roommate Kate. Kate was lying down on the couch a cigarette was hanging out of her mouth. She eyed me and I didn't like it at all.
