Anna
I wake up at 10 o'clock and I feel great because my body is relaxed. Its on a Saturday and I'm free for the rest of the day. I get out of bed and drag myself to the kitchen. I could use a cup of coffee to wake me up. I start a pot and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. My dad knocks at the bathroom door,"just a minute I'm almost done," I say and I'm sure he's outside waiting. After I was done I got out of the bathroom without saying a word I head straight to the kitchen. We've had this type of relationship since I was a kid. To me it wasn't that strange because I had gotten used to it. That's just the way it is for us. 

Today i was going to meet my best friend harry to go house hunting together,he offered to help me find a good house since he worked in real estate.We were to meet up at a coffee house downtown in the next hour and i wasn't ready yet. I took a shower as fast as i could and got dressed, my usual styles, though today i felt like wearing all black,so i went with it.Black sweats and a matching sweatshirt. For my hair, i go with my usual style of pig tails.It works for me, its easy and fast and i like it. So what if people say i look like a toddler, i let my work speak for itself, im good and my clients know it. So they let me dress however i like.

"You're late", Harry complained. "I'm so sorry,i was stuck in traffic," I  said. "Here i ordered your coffee, lets go," he ordered." "hey, whats with the attitude bruh, i said i was stuck in traffic I didn't mean to be late and if you're going to act like this then its better you don't come . I can find a house on my own!" I stated heading towards  the exit of the cafe.He holds my hand  and pull me back, "i'm sorry okay, i had a bad day" he stated. "Then don't take it out on me alright," i replied looking straight at him.

Searching for a good house is really hectic especially if you are picky like me. So i searched the whole day, each time it was the same answer, i didn't like any of them and i was getting frustrated. Harry just kept showing me more and more houses.I was beginning to give up when he took me to another apartment, it was on the second floor of a fancy building i didn't quite catch its name. It was just a twenty-minute drive to my office and i was glad about that, that wasn't the reason as to why i liked this apartment though, i liked it because it was very cozy,and homey. It came fully furnished and I loved its theme.The couches were very soft and cozy, i loved that it had a modern bathroom and toilet.The space was small enough for me and i fell in love with it completely.  I pictured living there and it suddenly felt like home.  

"I'll take this", I told him and he looked surprised."You're sure you like it, you don't want anything modern, This one is kinda outdated don't you think?" he asked."No,i'll take this one" I insisted. I signed all the paperwork and handed it to Harry. "Its now official Anna, you are the owner of this apartment. ''This is a cause for celebration",he said grinning,and i couldn't help but smile. "I have a great idea Annie, lets go out, my treat i'm sure by now you've lost some bucks given that you've spent it on this house so ill buy you a drink or two, he said smirking. "Okay i don't feel comfortable going out, and you know that, cant we just buy a bottle of wine and just chill at your place?" i suggested."No, this is not the way we should celebrate your new apartment.Its kind of a big deal,so we should go all out today, i'm not taking no for an answer today Annie,"He said firmly and i nod my head in agreement.
