One Day At A Time

chapter 7

I awoke in a great mood I decided to go visit an old friend of mine. I got dressed in my black hoodie and Grey leggings with white tennis shoes. I grabbed my keys and hopped into my Mitsubishi and drove to her house. An hour later I blast the song no scrub by tlc on my radio and she comes out singing I don't wanna meet you no where no don't want none of yo time and we bust out laughing. I cut the radio down, was up girly how you been. I said. I'm great now. Said olive. Get ready because today is a girl's day just us. I said. Bets, let me grab my phone I'll be their in a sec. Said olive as she went back inside. She came out with her phone and some money even though I planned on spoiling her today. I turned on cpr by cupcakKe as we jammed down the road and headed to the mall. We pulled in as slumber party by ashnikko was on we stopped the car and headed to hot topic and looked around for a bit I got me some fake gages to represent pride month and she got her some overalls with galaxy print on them. Dude that's gonna look good on you. I said, right their so cute. She said she layed them on the counter as she saw some Keychain stuff I handed the desk lady my card. You see my friend everything she touches I want you to ring up on my card. I said. Sure thing but you do realize you own the mall right. The lady asked. i do but still I plan to spoil her today. I said, right okay then. I kept looking around giving her time to check everything out. An hour later she found everything she wanted. So you might get mad but I bought everything you touched soooo. I pulled a cart out and filled the cart up with everything we bought. Dude you didn't have to do that. Olive said, umm we've been best friends for 8 years I'm allowed to spoil you olive. I said with a smile. Fine. She said as she hung her head in defeat knowing I'd win in the end we went to a few other stores before I took her to my last surprise. We pulled into pets smart. Why did we come here? She asked. Well I wanted to spoil you one last time before we go home. I said as we got out the car and headed inside. She saw a puppy and couldn't help but wanna hold it. Choose one wisely. I said to her. Wait your buying me a pet? She asked shock evident in her voice. You deserve the best. I said with a cheeky smile. After looking at every animal available we settled on a snake it was solid white with blue eyes but out the corner of my eye I noticed an egg in the bird cages. I called the manager over. I'd like to buy that egg and her snake plus all the equipment required to raise a bird and take care of a snake. I said. After all I did own the mall so they were used to me asking for things. Yes ma'am. The manager said as she got a rolling cart and loaded it up with items. Olive my dear today you aren't getting just one pet but two. I said, really but I thought you said I was only getting one. She said with excitement. Well now your getting two plus I'm already getting everything you need for both. I said as I handed her the egg. Give me one moment my dear. I said as I stepped away I called Steven. Hey I need you to send a van to our mall and make sure the seats are down I have some equipment I need taken to a friend's home they are to follow us. I said, got it boss sending one now Lucas will be the driver. He said as he hung up. I walked over to olive a friend of mine will bring a spare car to us so we can have extra room for our items. I said with a smile. You see I recently bought olive a house as a gift so she has the room for everything we bought. Only she doesn't know it yet. I have one more surprise for this evening. I said as we got into the car to wait on Lucas I handed her a key to the house. What's this key for? She asked me. It's a surprise. I said as Lucas pulled up. The workers loaded up the van and my car. Soon we made our way to her new house. Cover your eyes and no peaking. I said as I looked at her. Fine, but I don't get it. She said as she covered her eyes I pulled into the driveway and lead her out of the car to infront of the house. Now you can look. I said as I removed her left hand from covering her eyes. You didn't, no way. She said as her eyes teared up. I did now try your key. I said as I ushered her forward. And the key fit like a glove in the mansion sized house. She walked inside Lucas be a dear and unload everything while she looks around ill be on the couch. I said as I looked over my shoulder to him. Got it boss. He said as he opened the trunks to both cars. I walked inside and sat on the couch to wait for her to get done exploring. I had the house furnished for her and made sure it matched her aesthetic but I left one room unfurnished so she could decorate it to her liking it also had a key that would be needed to get into it and that's the house key and theirs only one made. After 2 hours of exploring she came back to sit next to me. I don't know if I can afford the bills for this. She said as she looked at me. Olive this house is paid for in full and I own the bank that's had a hold on this property if you have any troubles with them you call me right then and their this is your home no more shady areas no more cold nights no more going hungry. This is your home and it's in your name. I said as she hugged me. The room that takes a key needs the house key to be unlocked you can always change it if needed but I gotta head out also in the garage theirs a car the keys are in the glove department welcome home. I said as I stood up and hugged her again. Thank you for today I needed this and I won't forget this ever. She said as she started crying. I whipped her tears it's ok girly just promise me to cherish every moment you have. I said as I made my way to leave. I turned to her by the way Lucas set up the animal enclosures for you so you don't have to worry about anything. I said as I waved goodbye to her. I got in my car and headed home.
