Feelin' 22, Caitlin Clark + Nika Muhl

Surprise

I had awoken at 8am naturally. Today was Saturday and I had nothing planned, I looked over at my phone seeing that Nika was no longer on the call. I pick it up checking for any notifications.

I spent my time waiting for Nika's important gift by cleaning up. I was feeling overwhelmed and something about deep cleaning my apartment helped. Paige had called and texted me a few times but I chose to ignore her by sending her a text letting her know that I had a lot of studying to do, which was true other than the fact that I wasn't studying. By the time it was 3pm I was completely done with cleaning. The place smelled of cleaning products and candles that had lit. I flopped back down on the couch and began to watch TV to pass more time.

"That must be the suprise." I hear someone ring my doorbell. "Who is it?" I peep through the peephole but see no one outside. I figured that the delivery man just dropped the gift off and left, so I opened the door immediately looking down to the ground but seeing nothing.

"It's a robbery, put your hands up!" I hear a very familiar voice on the left of me.

"Oh my God!" I say loudly seeing the Croatian right at my doorstep, my hands covering my mouth. "What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked completely shocked.

"You said you missed me, right?" A smile creeped up on her face. "Also, I brought back up." She moved to the side exposing Lily who was standing behind her.

"Oh my God!" I repeated once again, tears sliding down my face as I stood frozen. "What the fuck are you guys doing here?"

"Nika told me she wanted to surprise you, and of course I take any chance to get out of doing my homework." Lily walked up to me wrapping her arms around me. "How are you doing?" She whispered quietly, I could feel her thumb lightly brushing against my shoulder.
