My home (Completed)

15

              "What am I gonna wear, Ni?"I whined for like the hundredth time. It was Sunday morning and I had already engaged the girls in my panic for how I would appear for my date. He had told me to wear anything and didn't even give me a hint on where we were going. I slept in the guest room since the apartment had three bedrooms though now I was in Ni's room sulking after going through my clothes and I couldn't find anything pleasing. Ni was sitting in her bed rubbing her eyes that were still full of sleep.
         "What do you mean what are you gonna wear?"she scoffed. "Where is he taking you?"
         "That's the thing, he didn't say the place."I whined.
         "Girls, who is up for shopping, Charlie gave me his credit card."said Lucy as she entered not even looking where she was going as she was staring down at her phone scrolling through whatever she was doing. She was still in pyjamas as well.

          "Pk needs a new closet. She hardly has clothes and I don't think I have anything fit for your date."grumbled Ni. Very true, I had just a backpack of clothes. Maybe I could do some shopping with some of the waitressing money I earned.
          "Let's all go, Charlie will buy us anything."whined lucy.she was now staring at us with puppy eyes. Charlie?
            "Who's Charlie?"asked Ni, seemingly confused just like me then her face softened in realisation.
        "Don't tell me, he's your latest catch."scoffed Ni. Lucy nodded eagerly.
         "And you know what?"she started happily as she jumped on to Ni's bed facing us and sitting cross-legged putting her phone away.
          "He is super rich."we both raised our brows.
          "Was he the guy at the park last week?"I asked just to be sure and she nodded flipping her hair gently.
            "And he is this kind that stashes away money, so I will grab as much as I can. That's why you girls should join me for a heavy shopping. I mean we aren't the ones paying after all."she explained excitedly.
           "You my friend, has broken hearts."said Ni seriously. Lucy scoffed.
            "It's not my problem that men will literally do anything to get in a girls pants. So, he got a few nights with me and now I get a few minutes with his credit card, simple."Lucy deadpanned.
           "It's not always about pants and money."started Ni. "Remember Julio?"she questioned and Lucy nodded. Then I was told briefly that he was one the many guys she had dated.
       "That guy loved you seriously, and he was willing to forget your bitchy self and be with you but you dumped him in less than two weeks because he got broke ,you know he literally used to call me every day to ask you to talk to him, he said he was gonna work hard so he can give you all the money you want if you would just be a little patient. I almost cried on his behalf."Lucy chuckled lightly.
          "That's his issue."she huffed emotionlessly. This girl with all her beauty was a serious heart breaker but I silently prayed that she fell in love one day and then test her own poison when dumped.
              "Anyway are you girls coming, we could also go for manicure and hairdressing."
         "I am ,cause I need the beauty treat."I raised my hand slowly. Good thing I didn't know the guy so a few coins off his credit card for me didn't hurt, did they?

                We had ended up casually dressed and running from one store into another dragging along a grumpy whining Niveah. Lucy knew how to spend lavishly,   God!if that credit card remained with any coins by the end of the day then that Charlie guy would be lucky. Since he was so young to be that rich, I had concluded that he was from a rich family. We did our hair which I just unplaited and then replaited the braids though this time they put in some huge golden beads on some of the braids and it looked cute (Ni said that) then we did our nails too, I put nude for my toes and shiny for my fingers. Lucy bought me clothes. By the time we returned to the apartment, I felt like a model holding about fifteen shopping bags full of clothes and shoes.

             By 7pm I was ready, dressed in smooth blue tight jeans and a checked long sleeved shirt that matched my new white tommies. With a brand new cute blue Cross bag holding whatever I needed, I made for the door on hearing the door bell as soon as it rang. The girls gave me thumbs up standing by the hallway.
       Sighing deeply I flung the door open revealing a casually dressed though stunning Carl. He was clad in dark tight jeans and a white t-shirt on which he added a black jacket. His bling bling not missing. He smiled at me nervously which I returned and after complementing each other we made for his car down stairs.

           We climbed into the range Rover I recall we had used from the station, perhaps it was a family car or something since Jack was driving it at the time.
Carl fumbled in the back seat then got a black jacket which he handed me.
           "You will need it dearly."he said and I held it now convinced I had chosen the right outfit since we must be going out side as in we would be outside for our date. With that we set off. And I kept smiling to myself. So it was worth it running away from home.
      It was indeed worth it.
