The final bell rang, as we left the grounds and headed towards the car park and jumped into the Landie. We took off and raced down the highway towards my estate. We reached the drive with in 25 minutes only to be met by Cassie. Her jeep was parked on the side right in front of the door. I pulled my landie up where I normally park it when I heard a purring going really fast down the road. The Dark Purple Lotus Elise turned left into my drive. The Lotus pulled up beside the my landie and the doo popped open and out hopped a young woman wearing a Green ankle length maxi dress with simple but elegant silver heels. She peeled back her silver Gucci glasses with her long brown straight flowing hair. Got her matching Gucci handbag out and came over to Cassie, Sam and I standing on the steps of my house.

“RILEY” screamed Cassie

“CASSIE” she screamed in reply.

“Riley, this is Darcy and Samantha” “Darcy and Samantha, this is my good friend Riley!”

“Lovely to meet you Riley” I said

“You can call me Rie if you want”

“Well lunch is being served, care to join us Rie?”

“FOOD, WHAT FOOD” she said loudly

“Ill take that as a yes?” I said jokingly. We walked inside to be greeted by my events planner and very dear friend Ashley Davenport.

“If you will follow me, lunch will be served” Ashley stated to everyone.

“Ashley it’s just me Hahaha, you call me Darcy okay” I replied politely

“Fine sorry Darcy” she said in her English accent.

“Hey Ashley?” I asked, “Where are you staying for this summer?”

“Well my parents are looking at renting this apartment for me to stay in”

“Don’t be stupid you have seen the size on my place you can just stay here. Its only me and Sam here most of the time. We have plenty of room.”

“I couldn’t do that, you are my employer”

“Yeah, Get real woman you can stay here. I’ll have Maria make up one of the rooms for you”

“Thanks Darcy, I really appreciated

“Ash, you are a long time friend of mine, stay as long as you like and ill pay you to stay here and do you job, I chose you because you are the best in the league at what you do.” I said. She smiled. And I laughed.

“You’re a real character you know” I said foolishly

“Shut up” she said while giving my arm a punch.

We all sat down to lunch in the dining room. It was a really sunny day in which there was lots of light streaming in through the floor to ceiling window, There was quite a breeze blowing outside. The silk sea-through curtains were dancing like two people dong the tango.

“Wow, you put on quite a spread there Darcy!” announced Riley.

“Don’t say that to me, Ashley made it happen!” I said

“Hardly, I just organised what is to be made and what table spread is to be used, that’s my job isn’t it?” she quietly added

“Well you do a great job Ashley, everything is white, there are yellow roses, and silver serving ware.”  “ The fruits are amazing, the pastries are incredible, the sandwiches are tasty.” Said Riley. “Good Job” Riley quickly added.

“Well thanks, Bu….” As I cut Ashley off

“You are the best, see I told you” I quickly added.

“Ashley, after lunch I wish to treat you with a bit of shopping. Come along”

“No its alright” she said

“Do you want to keep you job?” I asked “well if you do wish to, you will be coming shopping with me in 20 minutes. Go and put your most expensive thing on and meet me in the foyer in 20.” I demanded I saw Ashley give me an evil look and she headed out of the dining room and shut the door behind her. As soon as the door shut I quickly jumped up and apologised to Cassie and Riley for leaving so early but insisted they stay and well, do what ever. I ran through the hall and up the stairs jumped in the shower and put on my black suit and a dark maroon shirt. And went down and sat in the foyer. 2 minutes later Sam came in dressed in a whit Channel dress with a matching Channel handbag and sunnies. Ashley came in wearing a light purple dress, black heels and a black handbag.

Out the front door we went and into my Landie. As we were about to leave a black Mercedes E-class came up my drive. The man driving the Mercedes was wearing the Shops uniform.  We stopped and went back to the main entrance and spoke to the guy. It was a present from my father.

FLASHBACK:

It was a few years ago, over my 16th birthday. He promised me he would be there and celebrate it with me. He never turned up. I gave him a call the next day to see why. He did not answer but just let it go to message bank. He rang me back a week later yelling at me because I said he was hopeless and pathetic. He also called saying that he hated me because of what I said. He has been sending me gifts, hoping that I will return his calls but I just won’t because of my anger at him.

I signed for the car and threw the keys at Ashley.

“Here you go” I said

“No Darcy, I cant.” She insisted

“Well I’m not paying for it, its free. So have it”

“Thanks you so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, much”

“You drive, Lets go shopping!” we took off down the drive and turned left heading into the city.  We parked in the multilevel park, and walked down passed all the shops and into Alex Perry.

We met back at the car with all our bags and quickly filled the trunk and most of the backseat (just of bags). 

“Well that is how you shop, Ashley” I said

“Thanks so much”

“you have clothes to wear”

“Thank you so much” she said to me.

As we arrived home I opened up the garage door, and Ash gave me that look (the look as if she could). I narrowed my eyed and insisted she parked in the garage. We received help from Maria to bring in all of the shopping inside. We took the clothes out of the bags and boxes and hung them out, put the shoes on the racks, the purses in the glass top draws, the sun glasses on the racks and the furs in the cupboard.
