A Surprise (2)

Within the apartment room.

"Hoo hoo, sister mengs kicks still cannot be underestimated, anyway happy birthday again sister feng, my gift for you is actually not that significant. I got you that new phone model, you know the one with a full glass screen that's actually durable to be true?"

"Isn't that phone a very expensive one? why'd you buy it as a gift for me instead of keeping it yourself?"

"Yes it is and you don't have to worry about that since I just sold a large amount of properties! hehe being as beautiful as me is but a sin~ also I got myself one as well and took the liberty of inputting our wechats and phone numbers in your phone, the O-9/23 is a sought out phone so I wouldn't miss a chance of owning one myself haha"

"Thank you, I'll try to get you something good for your birthday as well"

Feng ling stated as she then went to the kitchen to check up on the cake and maybe help, she knew fu meng was a hardworker but majority of her activities always end up in some sort of accidents, she went and saw fu meng having a hard time cutting the cake and what shocked her at that scene was fu meng was using a butcher knife to cut the cake.

"Sister meng I'll take over and you actually don't need to use a butchers knife to cut cake you know?"

"Eh! feng feng I'm so sorry, its your birthday and you still need to cut your cake yourself, I am inexperienced at it since as you know the maids do it for me"

Feng ling took the knife and cleaned it before placing it in the knife rack, she pulled a kitchen and started to cut the cake into six pieces, the cake was of a regular size and diameter so it was quick.

"Its fine sister meng is super rich so she doesn't know how to do these things"

Feng ling told fu meng in order to tease her since fu meng didn't agree that she was rich even though it was apparent.

"Come on feng feng, I'm not rich, I will consider myself rich once I get my own business started and I earn my own money but right now I'm on allowance so no matter how much I get I'm still poor since its not from my own hard work."

Feng ling just gave fu meng a smile and then took a couple of saucers from her cabinet, they returned to the living room where they found jia fu taking selfies and acting cute, they placed the plates on the table with the cake loudly to surprise jia fu.

"Kyaa!... you really enjoy scaring me huh sister meng and now you brought sister feng into your act"

Feng ling just plated the cake slices while fu meng went and beat up jia fu with her soft punches.

They talked and reminiscened about the past back when they were in college and highschool before they became business women, estate agents and convenience store cashiers.

Time passed and the giggles and noise dwindled.

"Haha I remember sister feng back then scared us especially since her seat was situated at the back end row corner where the light doesn't shine, but who would've thought we would be like this now"

"True you were still nuo fu back at highschool and I was the first one to befriend feng feng"

Feng ling looked at the time and it was already 8:30 am, she reminded jia fu and fu meng about the time and they were surprised at how much had passed, they went and said their goodbyes and ran to their jobs, jia fu left the new phone at the table and fu meng told feng ling to open the pinata for the full gift, feng ling assured them of the gifts and watched them walk away before shutting her door and cleaning, as for how they got in, she gave them an extra key card for when they visit.

Feng entered the bedroom and flopped on her bed exhausted, her eyelids grew heavy and she fell asleep. She dreamt of her life as a kid staying with her parents, it was all dandy until it turned an ominous turn, the sky darkened and thunder boomed, her family was inside their home and they went to sleep, she was in her room and her parents in theirs, they were asleep but she was awake.

Feng couldn't shake the feeling that somebody was looking at her whilst she was in her bed, her eyes fixed on her closet that had a small opening and suddenly from underneath her blanket two pale hands began to strangle her without giving her time to scream.
