“yeah you are. And I'm the best friend to the lucky girl and that's why I had the opportunity of attending a five star low-key birthday party last night. The first time in my life I'm attending a party with an actual birthday cake”
I laughed out loud “you're so funny” I said and she laughed too
“but I'm right. And it's because of you that I could sleep in a king sized bed with soft pillows and thick blanket last night. Also because of you I'm eating a sandwich made by a celebrity”
“I guess we're lucky”
“yep we are” she said and winked. I smiled and breathed out
Then I suddenly remembered Goldie
“oh my goodness, what about Goldie?” I asked
“oh I forgot to tell you. I actually gave her extra milk, water and treats before leaving yesterday. She'll be fine before we get back”
“what if she has to use her potty?” I asked
“well... I don't know about that” I hoped we could go back home before noon time

“so, I'll come see you tonight” Will said as he picked his keys to drop us off
“okay” I said
“I'll be going back home this evening so I'll see you maybe next weekend” Eliza said
“oh really? Wow, okay then. Let's see how it goes”
We walked outside and we entered his car and drove home.
He then helped us take my birthday presents inside. I was given presents last night but I was too tired to open them. Eliza and I would do all that today
“take care of yourself okay?” Will said as he was about leaving. Eliza had gone to give Goldie more water as she had drained the extra she was given from yesterday
It was just Will and I in the living room
“yeah, I would” I said with a smile. He pulled me and hugged me to his chest. I wrapped my arms around his waist and we stayed there for few seconds
“I love you” he said and I smiled and lifted my face to look at him
“I love you too” I replied and he kissed my forehead and not withdrawing for about five seconds. That actually made me feel safe.
“I'll see you tonight” he said after we had disengaged from the hug.
“my regards to Wini” I said
“sure, bye” he said and left the house. I sighed and sat down on the couch then looked at the gifts on the table. Eliza came back holding Goldie
“hey” I cooed and collected her from Eliza. She licked my hands and was wagging her tail
“I've missed you baby girl” I said to her after I lifted her up to my face
“shouldn't we start opening your presents?” Eliza asked and picked one up
“this one's from Jay. Who's Jay?”
“Will's cousin” I replied and watched her open the small box
“wow, look at these” Eliza exclaimed and showed me the diamond earrings and a necklace
“wow, so pretty” I said and collected the box. I picked them out and kept them on my palm
“they are damn expensive.” she said as she stared at them
I returned them to the box and Eliza took another present. This one was a big box and was heavy a little
She unwrapped the wrapping paper and looked at the box
“makeup kit?” she asked. I looked at it and the picture on the carton box was that of a makeup kit and a pretty lady with makeup on her face. And of course, the name was there.
Eliza hurriedly opened the box and brought out the kit. She dropped it on the floor and pressed a certain button and it opened and divided into about six segments. Each segment had it's own makeup tool
“wow, I've seen this in the movies. Only the rich can afford this” Eliza said and picked up a lipstick
“who's it from?” I asked and she looked at the wrapping paper
“Wini” she replied and I smiled. I was expecting it to be her.
I caught sight of the one with Will's name tagged on it. I quickly picked it up and it was a flat and somehow wide box. Like the shape of a chocolate bar, just a bit bigger than that.
I unwrapped it and my jaw dropped. Finally, I have a phone like my mates
Will
I wasn't expecting to see Eduardo sitting in my living room when I arrived. I just sense trouble around him
“where are you coming from?” he asked as I entered
“the last time I checked Eduardo, this is my house and I don't think I'm supposed to be asked that question” I replied and dropped my keys on the table.
He scoffed and stood up from the sofa
“you think I don't know what you're up to? You ran a party last night for a girl, the same miserable girl! You didn't invite me, why?” he asked
