Meant to be

gifts

Cyn woke up five hours later, because her phone kept going off.

Cyn:*groggy* hello

Albee: finally, can you come open the door please. I've been standing out there for the longest.

Cyn: wait. What.

Albee: erica sent me over to keep you company. If I knew you was going to sleep whole day I could have gone to the beach to work on my tan.

Cyn: relax, dude the time change caught up to me*getting off the bed and almost stepping on max* oops sorry there buddy.*walking down the steps with max trailing behind her, opening the door* come in

Albee: dang, did you not wash your face before you open the door. I mean like this is not what I signed up for.

Cyn: what's wrong with my face?

Albee: *points at the mirror in the hall* go look.

Cyn went and stood in front of the mirrors and a blushed rose up from her breast all the way to her face. She blocked her face with her hands and ran up to the bedroom. She grabbed her phone and face time erica, who answered right away.

Erica: *laughing* morning sleepy head.

Cyn: really erica, look at my face.

Erica: what, I had to make sure that I left a mark.

Cyn: *rubbing her face*  its not coming out.

Erica: its Mac. Just use warm water and soap. I have to go, I'm being paged. Oh check your phone when your done.

Cyn: k, bye

Erica:bye

Cyn went and did her hygiene stuff. She brushed her teeth and took a shower.  Like erica said, the lipstick kisses washed off. She wrapped herself in a towel and went back to her room. She made the bed and checked her phone. She laughed at the video of erica kissing her goodbye. She listen  to the message, realizing she have a surprise waiting for her. She grabbed her suitcase and slide on some underwear and bra. She put on a Beyonce tshirt and a pair of distress Capri's.  She touched the back of her head and it was still kind of sore. She did two cornrow and went out the bedroom, making sure the the light was off and the wet towels was hanged up.

Cyn: albee?

Albee: yes.

Cyn: come up here.

Albee:*climbing up the steps* what?

Cyn: you know anything about some surprise erica have for me in that room there* pointing to the room in question*

Albee: yes, but I'm not running the surprise. Go look, I've been telling you that a lot today.

Cyn: I know right* turning the handle of the door and saw lots of different size gifts.* wow. All this is for me. When she got all the time to wrap them.

Albee: girl these gifts are years old. Each one represents a past birthday or Christmas she couldn't spend with you. From age 14- 20.

Cyn: omg. That's so sweet of her. Now I feel horrible cause I didn't get her anything.

Albee: don't feel bad. You can just kiss her to make her feel better. *laughing*

Cyn: really albee. A kiss. I kiss her everyday.

Albee:but not a real one. On the lips

Cyn: oh. Well I gave her one of those.

Albee: what? When.

Cyn: at our junior high prom.the night she left.

Albee: bitch, that was rated g kisses. I talking about rated R. I mean a panty wetting, tongue kiss.

Cyn:* blushing* why should I do that with my best friend.

Albee: hmm. If you don't someone else will. You already lost her once. Don't lose her twice. Be honest with your feeling, stop hiding behind that best friend crap. Best friends make the best lovers.

Cyn: albee can I ask you a question?

Albee: sure*picking up a box and handing it to cyn*

Cyn: whose Nicki?

Albee: Nicki*thinking* I don't know any Nicki.

Cyn: she texted erica last night. Said she missed her.

Albee: oh,you mean Nichole. Girl she hot. She's a nurse who works with erica, but she got the hots for her.*adding fuel to get cyn in the right direction* I think she's trying to become the real Mrs. Mena.

Cyn: that won't never happen.

Albee: why

Cyn: cause one, I not got a divorce and two because I said so.

Albee: *laughing* will see* walking out the room* have fun with your gifts I'm going to make us something to eat.

Cyn: thank you.

Cyn started tearing through the gifts, she got teary eyed over each one. Its like even though they was apart, erica knew exactly what she would want. For example she got her an nsync poster signed by the members.  A telescope cause they would always sit outside at night in the summer gazing at the sky. Trying to me the different stars. Erica got her a jean jacket with her name bedazzled. Each gift had a hand written card, wishing her a happy birthday or merry Christmas. It always said at Thr bottom that she loved and missed her.  Her sixteen birthday gift that she open she got a necklace which had locket with erica and her picture. It was inscribed saying best friends. The picture was of both of them in a hospital bed smiling and showing of their cast. Cyn touched the pic and smiled. She don't think no one in the entire world would do what erica did for her and continues to do. It was there it hit her, in a room full of wrapping paper and half open gifts. She was in love with her best friend.

Cyn: oh shit..
