Olivia:(smiles)Dad,the load is way too much for you.I wander why you’re getting younger instead of aging(grabs some stuffs from him)

Gabriel:Your papa hits the gym and eats healthy

Gabriel:(Laughs)Dad can’t age now,your mum takes care of me pretty well

Olivia:(Opens the bag and saw everything being sealed)Hmm.Whats inside dad?

Gabriel:c’mon open it (Smiles)

Olivia opens the bag and she was highly surprised.She saw different colors of outfits including dinner gowns with nice heels and gold Jewelries.She was so shocked,it was too soon,she never expected anything that soon.

They reached their destination and bought numerous things together with some matched outfits.They bought numerous quality high standard clothes.

Olivia:I feel like taking the store to school

Nadia:That’s way too much of beautiful things

Olivia:Beautiful things are meant for us you know?I wish I could but I’m sure my mum’s card would decline

Nadia:You can use my mum’s own but wait,are you sure about taking everything in here ?

Olivia:(Laughs)just joking c’mon they aren’t even all my size.Thats being stingy to other customers

Nadia:For a minute I thought you were damn serious.

Olivia loves fashionable and branded clothes,shoes and bags.She bought quite a lot of things and was over the moon.After everything,they payed for all and loaded it on the boot and also the empty space at the back sit then drove to a nearby restaurant.Nadia ordered her best food likewise Olivia .They we’re so jubilant and they enjoyed their tasty meal chatting.

Olivia:I’m sure my dad will be in the theater room receiving debit alerts(laughs)

Nadia:(Laughs)My mum willingly gave me her card so I think she should willingly not complain

Olivia:(Laughs)you said willingly

Nadia:yea(laughs)don’t choke me olivia with your laughs but they should understand that we will be out for a long time and things need to change in a new environment

Olivia:Totally,totally!

After the meal,olivia payed for the food and they left.

Nadia:(Hugs olivia)You really mean so much to me

Olivia:Promise me you won’t leave me for another person like me because I know you’re obsessed with the way I look

Nadia:(Removes her arms)I promise(laughs)I actually I’m obsessed with you.You’ll have a boyfriend right ?

Olivia:Of course,why not?but that’s not really my priority right now and it has to be the right person you know

Nadia:(Opens the car handle)Let’s talk more inside the car

Olivia:Okay…(opens the car handle)

Nadia:Then every night,when I do a video call you’ll say “Nadia can you please call me back?im busy with my boyfriend”

Olivia:(Laughs out loud)what!!!This really cracks me up but c’mon grow up.Told you having a boyfriend isn’t my priority right now and remember,I’m eighteen and you’re a year older so yea we need a boyfriend in a way but not someone who would make us forget a lifetime friendship.

Nadia:Hmm it doesn’t matter if I’m a year older.People don’t get into a relationship by age

Olivia:Wait,so you don’t want a boyfriend?

Nadia:That’s not what I’m saying(looks at her )what I’m more concerned about is us not being super close anymore once all this boy stuff starts getting to us

Olivia:I feel like you’re really thinking I’ll find someone and leave you right ?

Nadia:Probably girlll

Olivia:We are inseparable!we’ll forever be together and you know that I’m supposed to be the one blabbing and being sad about this whole school stuff right ?

Nadia:How ?

Olivia:Girl,you have the standards the city needs

Nadia:I know you’re about to start mentioning my ass and it’s the city,not the school.In the school,people come from different countries,states,continents…

Olivia:Not only your ass,your waist too!your laps,your…

Nadia:(cuts in)You have a tinier waist than I do olivia and I don’t want to compare us both because we are unique and forget those standards

Olivia:Yea,we are unique and also,I was scared too but to think of it like you said,different cities different countries,every guy is going to have their kind of person they find attractive and eventually value so let’s just always be together because in the end,we’ll meet people with different culture standards

Nadia:I also feel like we should be and do what we want to do because we love it and don’t let anyone opine on our lifestyle decisions!

Olivia:Heavy on that nadia.We are buying things for ourselves because we want to look good in it and not due to how we want people to feel about us wearing it

Nadia:Exactly!I just hope I see the one who suits my personality and girl it’s highhhhhhh time you stop talking about my ass because you’re a model!you’re charming!

Olivia:You definitely will.I don’t complain about you remember?(smiles)

Nadia:I know charming face girl

Olivia:Hmm we’ve left the topic already nadia

Nadia:(laughs)complimenting you for you not for the topic and can you at least say a thank you ?(holds her checks)

Olivia:You holding these cheeks just reminds me of my mum I think we should get going(smiles)I’m starting to miss her

Nadia:Olivia tell me thank you(removes her hands)

Olivia:It’s 9:45 pm.You keep telling me over and over again(smiles)and you just make me blush all the time.Thank you nadia,you always make me never think of settling for less(hugs her)I love you so much!

Nadia:(smiles)you’re bringing up the “guy” topic again

Olivia:(removes her arms) Hmm

Nadia:(checks her phone)OMG,12 missed calls from my mum

Olivia:(laughs)mummy’s girl(drives off)

Nadia:(pecks her)I love you girl, you’re the best!(twitter the radio)”BABY YOU LOOk HAPPIER YOU DO”

Olivia:I KNOW I WAS HAPPIER WITH YOU(chorused)

It was 10:34pm when olivia reached nadia’s house due to traffic.Nadia immediately pecked olivia and offloaded her stuffs from the booth

Nadia:(calls out)Good night olivia

Olivia:(shouts)Good night bestie(drives off)

The next morning,olivia didn’t feel like doing anything.She visited her f*******: and i********: accounts she deleted almost all her pictures and laughed at herself for some silly pictures.She also saw some pictures with her and nadia and sent them to Nadia laughing out loud

**Nadia’s House**

Nadia really liked everything she bought from yesterday.She felt so pretty in one and remembered the words she and olivia affirmed to themself.She understood that even if being pretty is from within,she will always put herself first and do things for herself without being egocentric.She totally thought she should show her parents how gorgeous she looked in the dress and went straight to their room.

Nadia:(knocks and enters looking at the dress on her) mum dad,how does this gorgeoussssss(looks at them and was shocked)

They were having sex.She ran out immediately.

For a minute,she felt like it’s been the worst day ever for her because she do read about s*x and how people do say that interrupting a good s*x brings room for anger so all nadia could think of is the anger she has brought to her parents against her.Her parents were confused and couldn’t process on what to do at the moment.

Sarah:(walks in nadia’s room)You really look good on this dress(smiles perplexedly)You know nadia…

Nadia:(cuts in)Actually mum,pardon my impertinence.I totally forgot to knock and I hate that I interrupted in something I badly wanted you guys to do because I neee a brother

Sarah:(Holds her check)shuuush your mouth(pecks her)you don’t want a sister?

Nadia:(removes her mums hand)I have olivia already

Sarah:Basically forgot!What did you buy yesterday?I slept off(Digressing)

Nadia:(Ejects her mum)Actually,I want to take a shower and go play basketball

Sarah:(Euphoric)Okay love,good bye!Don’t forget to eat before going

Nadia:(smiles)sure mum(heads to the bathroom)

Sarah went to her room,closed the door so tight and locked it using a code then jumped on her husband.Hilary asked her how nadia felt gazing into their intimacy and Sarah told him she was totally cool with it.They were so happy as they continued having a tranquility intercourse.

Nadia went to their room,stood at the door and was hearing strange moans.She smiled and walked away.

**phone rings(olivia)**

Nadia:Hello girl,what’s new?

Olivia:just learning how to make my favorite dish cause your girl can’t live without it.

Nadia:Uhmm yum yum!learn mine too(laughs)

Olivia:You’re aware we aren’t staying in the school hostel right? c’mon let’s learn how to make other dishes

Nadia:Hmm(Takes a cookie)what if we(eats it)bring a maid or something?

Olivia:You’re indolent!but nadia c’mon

Nadia:You also are(laughs)It’s going to be stressful for us if we end up cooking in school ever day

Olivia:Nadia,it’s not going to be everyday!if we can’t cook what we love,we are totally f****d up

Nadia:Yea true but welp,I want to go play basket ball

Olivia:Really?(excited)

Nadia:Yea girl

Olivia:(stops chopping carrots)on my way!(leaves the kitchen)

Nadia:It’s how you’re always so excited when it comes to sports but you’re good at none

Olivia:Don’t brag now,I just love watching people play

Nadia:You should at least be good at a particular sport

Olivia:Yea I know,I’m considering tennis

Nadia:Would pleasantly fit your aesthetic

Olivia:Anyone could play it,not mainly by aesthetics

Nadia:Hmm tell me thank you!anyway lemme change into an outfit,bye for now(cuts)

Olivia drove into nadia’s house and they went together.Nadia enjoys playing basketball a lot but olivia just watches.Nadia played till evening with her group of players and had her bath there when she was about leaving the court.The court was not so far from nadia’s house so nadia didn’t always care about the time.She has a court in her house but just enjoys her space and doesn’t feel the need for people to come to her house to play and with her would just rather drive to the nearby estate court.
