Finally, In Love Again

Entering Nowaki!

“-sigh- I guess it's another year that I'm going to spend my birthday alone.” How depressing that would be. I unlocked my door and before I could step a foot in my house, my phone starts ringing. I dug in my purse to get my phone before it stopped ringing. “ H-Hello....” I answered, trying to keep my breathing even. “Beth!!!” I heard a familiar voice call my name on the other line. “ Is that you, Sherry?” “Well duh, who else would it be? Hehe, long time no see huh Beth. Surprised to hear from me?” My friend Sherry said, teasing me right of the bat. “aha aha matter of fact, yes I am. How you been Sherry?” I asked as I stepped in my house and threw my purse on the sofa and kicked my shoes off at the same time. “ I'm doing great, how about you?” Sherry asked as I sensed some concern and hesitation in her voice. “ Well.... You know me....just busy in work.” “ Beth, don't over do it...... Go out and get some fresh air once now and then.” “Ah... Yeah, thanks. So... What's new?” I asked, changing the subject. “ Oh yes..... I'm getting married in two weeks from now Beth!!!” Sherry exclaimed in pure joy. I, in the other hand was frozen with the phone to my ear. I could hear Sherry calling my name, but it sounded so far away. “Beth!!” She finally screamed, snapping me from my sudden shock. “ Huh? Oh....uh... Sorry about that. Hehe... Congratulations Sherry.” I said to Sherry who wasn't buying it. “ You don't sound sincere.” Sherry said with anger. “ No, no honestly.... I am sherry. Really, congratulations.” I said, really meaning it. I am sad that another friend of mines was getting married, but I sincerely am happy for her. She finally found the love of her life. I wonder if I'd be able to find the love of my life too. “ Thanks Beth, really I'm happy to hear that. Oh and by the ways..... Happy birthday Beth!!!!” Sherry shouted in the phone so loud that I had to remove the phone away from my ear. “Uh.... Sherry? You know that my birthday is tomorrow, right?” I asked Sherry, wondering if she was confused or something. “I know silly. I'm not gonna be here tomorrow for your birthday..... , So I send your birthday presents and invitation by mail..... So you should be getting them by tomorrow morning.” Sherry said as I heard a knock on my door. “Uh thanks sherry! Gotta go!” I hung up the phone on Sherry and ran for the door. When I opened the door, there was a delivery man standing there with a wagon full of presents. Looks like sherry's gifts came sooner than I thought. “ Are you Elizabeth?” The delivery guy asked me as I was checking out the presents. “Uh yes.” I said as he handed me a notebook for me to sign. “ Sign here.” He said as he handed me a pen. I signed the paper and he left after that. Rude! The least you could've done was help me with the presents. I said in my mind as I brought the presents in the house. I read the little tag on the presents to just make sure I had the right delivery, because sometimes they be mixing shit up. Nowaki? Who's that? There was a name on the tag that I never seen before and apparently the gifts are addressed to me. Before I could open the presents, my phone made a bird like sound; indicating that I got a text message. I checked my message and it said: Happy Birthday, my dear Elizabeth. Hope you liked the presents! Love, Nowaki. “Nowaki???? Who is this Nowaki?” I asked myself in frustrations. I looked at the presents and noticed that they came in different size and shapes. I opened one of them and it was a sexy blue high low dress. It had magnificent diamond design on the chest and the bottom. I admired it with awe, it was my first time seeing a dress so beautiful like the one I was holding at. Nowaki.....who ever you are, you sound rich.
