Once we were home, I automatically dropped my purse on the bed and kicked my heels off by the end of it as I then made my way to the closet and behind the clothes and shoes that I used to help bury Pharah's gifts. I could hear Pharah behind me doing the same as I did when I walked in while I was retrieving the bags and boxes from its hiding spot. I exited the closet and wordlessly sat the items on the bed next to the woman that was sat on the comforters and removing her jewelry.
Instead of looking directly at the gifts, she looked up at me with a face I couldn't really decipher at the moment. I casted my eyes at the gifts, silently telling her to open them. She kept her eyes on mine a few moments longer before putting them on the packages. She slowly grabbed the first black glittery bag with pink stuffing paper that began removing.
Soon after she was pulling out the green Goyard packaging.
"Shut up! I know this not what I think it is," a bright smile was on her face as she was carefully removing the packaging from the gift.
I watched with a small smile as she gasped at the black Saïgon Mini Trunk Bag. A bag she's been saying she was going to get for some time now.
"It's even prettier in person! Thank you baby," her words grateful and soft as I nodded slowly in welcoming.
Still silent I watched as she opened all her other gifts which were a pair of UGGs and a pair of Christian Zerote's. I had also bought her some memory cards as well as some film for the new camera she had thrifted. She even revealed the Elie Tahari vegan leather double-breasted trench coat along with green Petite Chatelaine stud earrings and a IPad Pro.
When she was finished opening all her gifts with excitement filled eyes and cheekbone prominent smiles. She then stood from the bed pulling me to a tight hug.
"Thank you so much baby, I love them all," she gushed in my ear. I couldn't help but to smile at the thankfulness.
"You're welcome Fare. I'm glad you liked them," I spoke as I broke out of the hug. I bent down to pick up a fallen piece of tissue paper before putting it back in the gift bag and walked towards the bathroom.
Once inside, I closed the door halfway and stood in front of my side of the sink. I then reached over to my makeup wipes and began to bring the wet towelette to my face, softly removing my foundation and concealer.
Not even a few seconds later my eyes were blurring and filling up with yet unshed tears and my lips began to purse as I tried my best to hold in any noise I could potentially make.
I know me and Pharah spoke on the issue at the restaurant a bit and took quite an understanding to each other and semi-apologized as well as promised to talk more of the issue tomorrow, but I just couldn't seem to shake what she had said.
Finished removing my makeup, I quickly stripped from my clothes and turned on the shower. After waiting a few seconds for the water, I immediately stepped in. Now that the sounds of the water rushing out and hitting the floor and wall was on and loud, my tears felt comfortable enough to be released along with a few mouth noises that I couldn't keep in any longer.
