It's been a few days. Felicia didn't come. Her thing. If she didn't want me to apologize to her, she should kiss her.. you know where. But one day I overheard a conversation between Marjorie and her friend. They must have been in the habit of talking outside this room. I was curious if they realized that I could hear everything, or if they wanted me to know what they were talking about. Their dialogue was about whom? About me. There have been no other topics in this house since I moved in. Marjorie and Felicia were bearable, but not Ryan. I kept hearing that his wife should kick me out. This guy was trying hard to get rid of me. Why? Who knew it? Maybe he was jealous that his wife cared about me. I guess little Ryan ran out of care.. ha! Or he could go to a brothel. I'm sure they'd take care of it professionally. He did not do it. He preferred to complain about me. On the fact that I accidentally left the faucet in the bathroom running once, or how I fell down the stairs carrying a vase of flowers. He shouted who would clean it up. I. Has anyone else had? No. Problem from nowhere. I messed it up and cleaned it up. Luckily, his voice wasn't in the girls' conversation. They were talking about my Facebook. Yes. They stalked me. I don't know how, I didn't tell them my name. Still, they found Elvira Rodriguez's profile. I heard that they want to find what I like and they think Facebook is a great place to do it. I was sure they would succeed. My profile was full of dogs. Tiny corgis. The cutest dogs in the whole world. I've always wanted one, but couldn't because of my job. I worked in a large corporation, I had an important position and I always felt that someone would take it away from me. This information was also on my Facebook profile. As an ex-employment, of course.
The girls finished stalking me and went for ice cream. How do I know? Because of course they talk so loud that it hurts your ears. Felicia has such a loud voice that she could easily wake up a corpse. Out of boredom, I turned on my phone. The notification "Felicia Roma sent you a friend request" appeared on the display. I laughed so hard that Ryan yelled at me from the hallway to shut up. To spite the man, I started laughing even louder. Let him know I'm the boss here. Felicia's surname made me laugh. After all, the first time I met her, I called her a roma! It looks like her and even has that surname. What a coincidence. Her profile picture caught my attention. The woman looked completely different on it. Her hair looked beautiful, her complexion was well-groomed. She had a twinkle in her eye. In disbelief that it was the same person, I checked the date of adding the photo. A year and 3 months ago. I left the photo. I saw her profession: psychologist. Her penultimate post was 8 months ago. His text was an advertisement for a mental health treatment facility. People loved it. But the last post was different. As if there was some sad story behind it. The text was "What have I done to you...". The post had only 3 likes, while the rest had a huge reach with hundreds of thousands of views. I didn't know what had happened to Felicia, but I was increasingly sorry for the way I had treated her.
It's been a few days. Again. The boring routine was interrupted by a phone call or rather a video chat from Facebook. It was Feliciya and next to her was Marjorie. They told me they wanted to take me to the best place on Earth. I asked them how I can be sure it's not a trick.
Marjorie said they wanted to take me to Corgi Breeding. At that moment, I decided that Ionly live once. They can hurt me, but puppies can't. I put on some nice clothes and went outside to get in the car. There were a few odd questions along the way
- Elvira, do you feel like you need some medicine? - Felicia began.
- Oh no. You're not giving me any powder. By the way, I'd really like to apologize to you, but you're not selling me anything. Never! - I replied confused.
- Elvira, Felicia doesn't mean it. Believe me. She and I have good intentions. - Marjorie was defending her friend.
- All right. I don't think I need any medication. And in particular, I will not take them from you. I like you girls, but no drugs. - I replied.
- We understand, take it easy. We're just going to the pharmacy and wanted to ask if you needed anything. - said Felicia.
They did as they said. They bought or rather picked up some medicines and then we went to see the desired dogs. They were so tiny and fluffy. I wanted to hug everyone a million times. One puppy caught my eye. He was lovely. I've never seen a prettier dog in my life. Unfortunately, the visit to the puppies could not last forever and we returned home. After some time
I realized that Marjorie was hiding something from me after all. She took a suspiciously long time to pour me water to drink when I asked her to. Another evening has come and with it, another episode of the series. The telephone rang. Marjorie got up and answered. She left the living room and stood in front of the room. She was talking to Felicja so I could hear their dialogue perfectly.
- And how? Do you manage to put medicine in her drink? Felicity started.
- Yes. I think it started working. You made the right diagnosis, my dear! Marjorie replied.
- Thanks for saying so .. it's a pity that I did not issue the referral for these drugs. Luckily my friend still likes me. It is worth having colleagues in the industry, because then when you are unjustifiably fired from work, you can still have contact with work, said Felicja.
The girls chatted for a while while I watched TV. Now I was sure Marjorie was putting something in my drinks on purpose. I decided to catch her in the act!
