Sapphire P.O.V
"Surprise!!"
I took a surprise step back. After I recover from the shock, I see that it was only my best friend Bethany. "You idiot!! You nearly gave me a heart attack! What are you doing here so early?! I thought you were coming later tonight?" I said a little mad at her.
"Sorry! I just wanted to surprise you when you got home, and I can't wait for you to tell me how you resigned from your job today!" she says excitedly. "You did quit your work, right?" she suddenly ask with her eyes narrowed. "I can assure you that I did quit and will tell you all about it after I have a nice bath and have something to snack on" I answer her.
She moves to the side so that I was able to get inside the house. "Good! I'm thinking of celebrating by ordering pizza and watching a movie" she says while skipping to the kitchen to grab her phone. "Okay I'm just going to shower first" I told her while walking to my bedroom to find my pajamas and towel.
Then I went to the bathroom for my shower. I locked the door then took off all my clothes and step inside the shower cubicle. I open the water making sure it was warm before I took a shower washing my face repeatedly trying to get rid of the feeling of my old boss's hand on face. Once I was satisfied washing myself, I closed the water took the towel that I hanged on the towel rack by the door to dry myself and put on my pajamas.
I got out of the bathroom feeling refreshed and ready to relax after a tiring day. On my way to the kitchen, I stop by the washing machine to put my dirty clothes. I then went to the living room seeing Bethany already going through Netflix to find a nice movie with the pizza on the coffee table. It must have arrived when I was in the shower, and I didn't hear the doorbell.
"So, what are we watching?" I ask while flopping on the couch. "We are watching The Avengers" she says enthusiastically. Figured the only reason she loves that movie is because Chris Hemsworth was in it. She is crazy about that guy. "But before we watch you have to tell me how you resigned and what the boss's reaction to you resigning" she demanded.
I rolled my eyes and told her everything that happened after I hang up the phone with her at lunch. She was just intently staring at my face and getting pissed when I told her about what happened with my ex-boss. "How dare that creep even think to blackmail you into going to dinner with him!" she fumes. I brush of her comment "I don't know what goes on inside that brain of his and I don't want to know".
"But still-"
"I don't want anything to do with him anymore so can we please drop the subject" I pleaded with her. "Fine" she huffs. "At least change your house" she advises me. "Why?" I ask confused. She rolls her eyes at me. "Because the creep has your house address, and you don't know what he will pull after your stunt at the office".
My mouth turns to an O just realizing that her words were true. She shrugs "you can find a house that is closer to your new job so that you don't have to wake up so early and be late".
I nodded "your right. I didn't think of that". She scoffs "you can't think of anything that doesn't come and hit you in the face". "I am wounded I do think about stuff like how you look at any hot guy like you want to eat them" I said jokingly. We both burst out laughing. Then we joke around for a bit then we watch the movie until before I knew I fell asleep while watching the movie as I am mentally exhausted with what happened today.
I woke up the next morning when I felt the sunlight shine on my face through the curtains that I didn't close properly. I groan my back feels stiff and open my eyes seeing my messy living room from the sleep over yesterday. Pillows were scattered everywhere pizza box lying on the ground.
I look around for my Bethany and found her pass out on the carpeted floor. I stretch and yawn getting up from the couch to go to my bedroom to shower and pick out my outfit for the day which consists of comfy joggers and a t-shirt. Once I was finish and dressed, I walk to the living room seeing Bethany still pass out on the floor.
Suddenly an idea popped into my head. I went to the kitchen to grab a glass and filled it with tap water then walk to Bethany. I smile evilly and as I splash water on her face. Watching and laughing as she woke spluttering and coughing from the water.
She glares at me "what was that for!". "I'm sorry but I couldn't resist" laughing harder at her expression. "Can't help it my ass" she growls angrily. I felt bad so I extended my hand to help her when she grabs the cup from my hand and splashes the left-over water in the glass to my face. Smirking evilly at me.
"Now we're even" she says satisfied. It took me a while to process what she did and when it did, I mock a gasp and attack her with the pillows. That's how we spent all morning fighting with pillows like kids.
But I don't care it was fun and it was good to let loose a little. After the pillow fight Bethany went to get ready for the day. We plan to go shopping for new clothes, so that I look more sophisticated and ready to work as my new company is a well-known and so is my new boss who is the CEO and owner of the company. I must look that I am meant for the job. After shopping all day with Bethany choosing almost all my work clothes I was spent and hungry, so we stop at the food court for something to eat before we got into my car and drove back to my place.
At night we were house hunting on the internet for any available two-bedroom apartment. I got lucky because while we were scrolling around the web, I saw an ad that says they have two bedrooms apartment within my budget, and it is also a short 10 minutes' drive from my workplace. So, I quickly booked an appointment with the real estate agent that is renting the apartment lot for viewing tomorrow. If I am satisfied with what I see I will pay the rent deposit for the apartment.
Bethany and I were screaming and squealing jumping around the house in excitement. Eventually we got tired, and Bethany decided to sleep at my house again tonight as tomorrow is Sunday. She spent the whole day with me to help pick out clothes and look for apartments and I couldn't thank her enough for all her help. We went to sleep about midnight me in my room her in the guest room I have just for her.
When I woke up it was late morning and realized Bethany was gone with a note saying she had to go back home first and that I should take a vacation before I start my new job. I smiled put the note back on the table and took my time getting ready for the day. I must meet the real estate agent this afternoon about 3 o'clock. I rested at home watching a movie on Netflix and playing with my phone until 2 o'clock.
I met the real estate agent, and he showed me around the apartment. It is quite big with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a small balcony. It was more than I could hope for. I couldn't believe I get to rent the house. The real estate agent asks me if I am satisfied with this house and if not, he could show me other apartments. I told him that I am more than satisfied and that I want to rent the house.
After all the necessary paperwork and payment was done, I hired the movers to move all my stuff to the new house. So that was how I spent my week busy with moving houses buying more decorations to decorate my new apartment and arranging all my furniture so that my house looks homey.
Before I knew it, almost a week went by and its already Friday and I have about 2 weeks left before I start my new job. While I was busy decorating the house I finally got an email from ShieldNet Corporation on how I was hired for the job I interviewed for and that I would be starting the job on the first Monday of next month. I was so happy that I decided to order sushi for dinner that night to celebrate.
