5am Start

Grateful

I go into my room and lay down on my bed. I pick up my phone and see several text messages from Rian. I open them and read through a couple of them,

Rian: Xana, hope you're better now. I was very scared when you passed out.

Rian: Can I see you?

Rian: Xana, please let me know how you're doing at least.

Rian: Can you please call me.

Rian: I'm coming over to see you.

I debate whether to reply her texts or not, and I decide to.

Me : Yeah Rian, I'm better now.

Seconds later my phone beeps and I see another text from her. So fast?

Rian: Oh okay, thank goodness.

Me: I can't stay and chat with you, later.

Rian: Oh why? I promise I won't disturb you.

Me: You're already disturbing me.

I tell her truthfully, well I'm always blunt when it comes to her so.

Rian: I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you.

Me: Yeah, yeah I get it, you don't have to,
Please leave me alone,
I'm busy and my headaches badly,
Thank you.

I put my phone on flight mode and get off the bed. What's taking the chauffeur so long, it's almost midday. Rashid bursts in my room squealing, "He's here"

"It's about time" I state and follow him out of my room. We both descend the stairs and find Yourri in a couch looking on her phone.

"Yo! Where's your stuff? Rashid asks

"With me" she says and lifts up a small yellow camp bag

"Didn't I say to leave it in the hallway?" I scold

"And i wanted to carry it myself" she defends

"Just quit it, I'm not in the mood to argue with you" I dismiss her.

"I didn't plan on continuing " she says briefly bit even bothering to look at me. I'm amazed by her new level of confidence of late. I decide to let it go or else she may change her mind about coming.

"Just get up and let's go" I say and motion for her to give me her bag

"What?" She asks and I get bored already

"Just hand me the damn bag" I demand trying to sound convincing enough.

"No, I'll carry it myself" she whines

"Please save it for another day and just give me the bag already" I say getting irritated.

"If you want me to come, then I'll carry my bag"

"What the hell?" I say and pick my duffle bag and walk out.

I'm astounded by what I see. I know my grandfather likes things to be a little over the top but then I never actually thought he'd send for us to be dropped of at the airport in a limo. People are picked up in limos so what's the big deal? Yeah, yeah I know but then I least expected it, maybe that's why I'm surprised.
