Roommates - Book I *Rewriting*

{24}

Today was Ken's birthday and I was currently shopping for some clothes shoes and other things for him. Over the five months of being with him I sort of got to know what he liked and didn't like. His favorite football team are the Vikings. He loved the color orange and would die for anything that said supreme it. I grabbed a few shirts and jackets with the same logo then went to counter to check it out. The girl behind the counter sent me a friendly smile and told me the price "Five hundred dollars and forty nine cents." She said and I chewed on my bottom lip,

It is his birthday. My dad is going to kill me.

I pulled out my card then swiped it "You big balling huh." She smirked and I shook my head "No." I mumbled and she chuckled before handing me my bag "Who ever you're buying these for is one lucky man." She said and I flashed her a smile before grabbing my bags. I made a beeline towards the sportings store to grab a jersey for him. By the time I left the mall I had spent one thousand dollars and some change. I struggled as I walked towards my car with all the bags filled with Ken's gift.

That had to mean something. I really really liked him so I went all out. I even had a dinner reservation set for this afternoon and he has no idea about this. To him I am at work and going over to his house later to watch movie because that was what I told him. I let out a huff as I shoved everything in the back seat. I got in the car and drove home.

I shut the door and walked towards the door. As I put my key in the keyhole something strange came from inside. There was laughter, Liam was laughing and then there was a small bark.

A bark?

I opened the door to find Liam laying on his back hold a pup that was licking his face. He didn't hear me come in so I took that as an opportunity to put him on snapchat. After recording him I posted it and locked my phone. "Since when did we get a dog?" I asked and the pup looked over at me before running towards me.

I immediately dropped down to my knees to greet him or her.

What, I love dogs.

"His name is Matt, My sister just brought him over. She let us keep him." He smiled and I looked up at him "Your sister?" I asked, I never met her. The only person I have met from his family was his dad. "Yeah, You just missed her." he said and I shook my head before giving little Matt my attention "Aren't you the cutest thing ever." I cooed and he barked, He was so tiny and adorable. "I'm your new mommy." I smiled and he barked excitedly and started to run around as if he understood what I said.

Liam chuckled "He's really hyper by the way." He said "I can see that." I said with a small smile. I sat on the couch and let out a sigh. Liam sat next to me and watched as Matt tried to hop on the couch with us. "Long day?" Liam asked "I'm starting to think that shopping isn't for me." I mumbled as I placed Matt in my lap. "Why do you think that?" He asked "My feet hurt. I have shoppers hands. Don't even get me started on the crowds." I said rolling my eyes. He chuckled "Sounds fun." He and I glared at him playfully.

"I just spent a thousand. My dad is going to kill me." I said looking down at Matt. "What is your dream job?" Liam asked catching me off guard. I blinked twice and thought about it. "I want to open my own floral shop." I said and he smiled a little "Really?" He asked "Yeah, I love working with flowers. They're just so beautiful and smell so nice. Working around them everyday would make me happy. Espicially if the shop is mine." I said with a smile.

He nodded "That sounds good. Remind me to go to you when I need to pick out flowers for my future wife." he said and I laughed "Mr Billionare buying my flowers? Oh please." I said "Why wouldn't I support my best friend's business? I know you want to be an independant woman. You have your mind set. Things will work out." He said and I smiled "You think so?" I asked "I know so." He smiled back. I checked my phone and my eyes widen "I have to get going." I said handing him Matt "Where to?" He asked "Ken." I answered before running outside of th door. I got in the car and drove off only to realize that I wasn't dressed appropriately for the dinner I set up.

Fuck it. I'll just make him some food with whatever he has at his house.

I pulled into the parking lot and turned off my phone. I reached in the back seat and grabbed the gifts I bought for him then made my way to his apartment door which was on the third floor.

Just great.

I sighed as I walked up the stairs ignoring the looks I was getting from the other people that stayed there. I finally got there and knocked on the door. I know I look like a mess. I mean I literally just rushed over here. The door swung over and the girl that was at the fair smirked at me "Babe who is it?" Ken yelled and I dropped the bags. He finally appeared and once he saw me his jaw dropped "Sophia, I can explain."
