Chapter 8: Moving into the Penthouse
Ann and I carried Sammie to the limo. Ann had already bribed the chaufeeur before hand to keep his mouth shut or else he was gonna loose his work.
She had to bribe him because of Sammie, we couldn't afford to have a leak about the situation, who would want to spend the rest of his or her days with someone he or she doesn't know?.
We got to the car and I booked the nearest hotel possible. During our trip to the hotel, I and Ann sent text messages to our parents so they wouldn't be worried.
With the help of the chauffeur, we were able to carry Samantha into the room when we arrived at the hotel.
The chauffeur room was also next to us because we decided to wake up as early as possible so as to send Sammie off on time before day break.
Thanks to the disguise she used to my house, no one was able to recognize her.
"Ahhhh... what a fun day it was", I said, changing my clothes so i could put on the hotel robes. "You can say that again, now I can tease Sammie about her low tolerance to alcohol", Ann said, giggling and I chuckled.
" I'll use the bathroom first Annie", I said and she nodded. Tying my hair into a loosed bun, I stepped into the beautiful bathroom to shower.
Due to the stress passed through today, I decided to run a cold bath. A cold bath helps me relax and feel refreshed.
I finished my bath as soon as possible so Ann could also shower. I got into the room and Ann also went into the bathroom.
Drying my hair with a towel, I took my seat and took a picture of myself to post on my social media account with the tag, ' girls night was fun'.
After captioning my pic I tagged Ann and went to bed. It seems Ann was literally going to spend the night in the bathtub.
* * * *
The alarm which Maya setted to ring by 5:30 am on her phone rang and the girls jumped up.
Mumbling Ann yawned, "wake up Sammie, it time to go", Ann tapped Samantha. Sammie yawned and mumbled raising up her left hand, "some minutes please".
" C'mon Sammie, get up and go have your bath, we had the chaufeeur dry clean your clothes after putting you to sleep last night", Ann said with furrowed eye brows.
"You reek of beer Sammie, go have your bath and come take some hangover medicine. Good thing we prepared before hand", I backed up while packing up my things.
"Urgghh, you both nag a lot, I wonder what sort of nagging mothers you'll become", Sammie grumbled, getting up on her feet. She changed her clothes and went into the bathroom. I chuckled at her words while Annie scoffed.
"Don't be a lazy woman and go get dressed PR else you want to be caught and get married to an impotent man", Ann yelled at her.
"Hmm, I haven't thought about motherhood", I said to myself, giving Sammie's words a thought. "Stop threatening me Ann", Sammie also yelled out from the bathroom, distracting me from my thoughts.
Seeing how the two bickered, I grinned. " C'mon girls, stop the bickering and let's get out of her on time", I said to them.and they stopped.
We finished up and got into the car. "The following week will be so stressful", I said and Ann replied.
"You can say that again babe, next week, we'll be moving into our penthouse...yay, I'm so excited", Ann said, squealing.
"Same here baby, I cant wait but its a pity I'll have to", o said dreamily just to hear Sammie mumble something in her sleep and we both laughed.
"After move in, we have college resumption and also fresher's party, its gonna be so stressful as you've said... Urghh", Ann said, sighing.
We got to our destination and dropped Sammie off then we rode back home. Sammie has just one more week before the wedding is called off. I feel happy and relieved like I was the one almost tied to a ghost husband.
Ann dropped me off at my place, of course after our series of signature hug and departing goodbyes.
I got home to meet my Dad. It was a big surprise on my part because I wasn't expecting him without notice. But even with all that, i felt so happy and relieved seeing him.
"Dad....!!!", I exclaimed, running towards him."Good morning Dad, mom", I greeted hugging my dad and pecking my mom. " I wasn't informed of your arrival dad", I said, frowning a little, pretending to sulk about it.
Mom instructed the chef to bring me food since I was occupied with the fact that I wasn't informed about my Dad's arrival.
"Thanks chef", I said when my breakfast appeared before me. Dad apologized saying he wanted to surprise me that was why he didn't say a word. Well, I can't lie about the part of not been surprised.
I admit I was so surprised. We took breakfast and talked about business. We also catch up with somethings and I went to my bedroom to rest.
I really needed the rest because of the aforementioned stress about to occur in two days time.
* * * *
The thunder rumbled and drummed like it was celebrating an occasion. The lightning kept on sparking like there was a spark event.
The constant rumbling of the thunder jolted me from dreamland. Waking up with my messy hair, I yawned and tried to sleep again just for the thunder to roar.
"Please not today... Its just 7:00 am...", I begged the thunder like it was human and could understand me. Roaring again, I came to a conclusion that it wasn't ready to agree with me.
I got up from my bed to the kitchen to have tea, just in time to hear my cellphone ring.
"Hey Annie, good morning", I said, sipping my tea. "Morning Maya...", Annie replied and continued. "Hope you haven't forgotten about our move?".
"No baby, I haven't. I packed my things already which has me sleep late, thought I had the help of a maid but I wasn't so ready to leave somethings behind", I said and she chuckled.
"What's funny?", I asked; already sulking. "I know how emotional you can be about little things and I can bet my one thousand bulks on the fact that you have packed more than three big travel bags", Ann said and i almost choked on my tea.
"Oh my gosh, she knows me too well", i thought, panicking falsely. "But I love my things so much. I can literally carry my whole room if I could", I said, pouting my lips. "I know that too Maya", Ann said and I chuckled.
We planned to take my family's van and also get set to hit the road by 10:00 am because the journey to town Q takes about 5 hours.
I got set and bid my parents goodbye just in time for Ann to arrive. I and Ann will take turns to drive the Van while Ann's chauffeur would drive her car and my chauffeur will drive my car.
"I can't afford to leave my car behind", I said to Ann who giggled while I got to the driver's seat. " It'd be a total disaster to leave mine behind also", she said and I grinned.
"Let's hit the road baby", I shouted and ignited the van with the its key; that was how we drove out of my compound into the city with the destination of town Q in mind.
Playing the music '7 rings by Ariana Grande', we shouted and sang along like crazy bitches.
You like my hair?
geee... thanks just bought it...
I see it..... I like it.....
I want it..... I got it...
I want it..... I got it.....
We both sang like drunkards on the way to town Q. Getting famished along the way, we stopped at a restaurant to eat and also ordered snacks along the way just like we did the last time.
Ann would be taking turn to drive now since I've been the one driving all along.
Our chauffeurs also stopped at the restaurant since they've been driving out cars behind us.
Its a good thing the rain stopped on time because after its orchestra performance this morning, we thought it'd pour down again. I didn't even have the time to watch the weather forecast.
Our moms kept on calling every thirty minutes to which i understand what their concern was all about.
My dad and Ann's dad kept on dropping series of text messages to ask of our welfare since they were out of the country again and couldn't call because one was in a business meeting and the other an important breakfast meeting.
Hitting the wet road again, they continued their journey by listening and singing along to 'WAP by Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion'.
Whores in this van...
There's some whores in this Van...
There's some whores in this Van...
They sang, changing the lyrics of the song to their own liking. Driving for about one hour, Ann felt tired and sore all over so Maya took over.
They continued that way, taking naps, chit chatting, eating, taking turns till they got down to the bend road leading to the venue of their penthouse.
Seeing the yard ahead of them, they smiled and drove in. They could see the maids and guards at the front door ready to welcome.
They maids had arrived two days before them in order to take care of the necessary things like cleaning and the likes before their arrival.
They felt tired before their arrival but seeing the transformation of their penthouse, the excitement in them started building up.
Feeling giddy and excited, we both alighted from the van and ran into the penthouse like mad women leaving the van and every other thing in it for the maids to do justice to.
We flew into the house like crazy birds and started kissing almost all the furnitures and wall papers. Running from one part of the house to another, we both went into our rooms each to adore the beauty of the decor.
I and Ann kept on taking pictures to post on our social media accounts.
A hour went by to our crazy decor expenditure and we finally came back to our senses.
"Let's call our parents Ann, I know that makes would have done justice to that but let's hear their voice again. Its going to take a while before we see them again", I said, getting emotional again.
"So true, but I trust those parents of hours will not sit for a month before coming over to see us", Ann said and I grinned because she nailed it.
Our parents especially mothers can be so dramatic so we'll be expecting them soon. "They'll be our first visitor", I said and Ann chuckled.
We both called our parents and sent them the thirty two pictures we took within that short period of time.
Don't blame us on been photogenic, that's one of the least this single p*ssies does to get rid of boredom at times.
"Miss Ann, Miss Maya, we are done with the move in and have prepared your bath and dinner", the maid came to inform us and we both nodded at the same time.
We went out to check if everything was perfect and of course, including our baby lambos.
Seeing everything was in the right shape, we retrived our car keys from the chauffeurs and bid them goodbye.
We decided to have dinner first since we got into town Q at noon.
After our sumptuous dinner of rice and turkey, rolled omelets and dessert of pineapple pie and blue berry pie with orange and apple juices, we went into our seperate rooms to have our bath and drown in sleep.
A great day lies ahead next week. A good thing we moved in on a weekend because from the following week Monday, school resumes and we begin our enrollment.
It has been a stressful journey today, every other thing comes tomorrow. Now its time to sleep and push the stress out. I yawned and putted off the lamp.
