Chapter:- 2

After 2weeks~

Rose's pov-

It's been two weeks since I met dad and that guy. What was his name......yeah Jorden. Hehe, sorry, I am not good at remembering people's names. It's like I met someone, and they tell me, " Oh hi, my name is this or that, " and I am always like, " I am going to remember next time.

These weeks were usually going. I was attending my classes and doing my part-time job. I enjoy myself. And I have specific someone to talk to. *Shy giggles*

This all is going fine, and today is Saturday. I am free from everything. Amelia and flo went to meet Flo's maternal grandma,flo was excited to meet her and wanted me to come with her, but something else happened.

Remember when I gave candies to flo on that day, then an older woman passed me, and we laughed? She lives next door to me on the left; Amelia's apartment is on the right.

That old lady's name is Jennifer smith, and she is a lovely lady moreover, she has been living here for the last six years and once told me that she has become very comfortable here. She will never leave this building; it's her home now, but today, when I was saying bye to flo and Amelia. She walked out of her apartment and looked pretty sad when I asked why. She told me that she is moving somewhere else because her son is coming to take her.

That's nice, right she can live with her family, m she misses a lot but because of her son's job, she couldn't live with them but now when he comes to take her, and she is getting her family back why wasn't she happy?

So, I asked why she was sad. She should be happy, but she became silent for some time and told me that she became so comfortable and friendly with people here that it was tricky for her to leave, so she was sad.

I accepted that reason, but my brain and heart didn't. Something felt weird.

She said she had to leave today because someone new would be here tomorrow.

Hmm... everything happened so fast.

So, because she is moving today, I decided to make her some cookies she loves, and I have just taken them out of the oven. They smell delicious. Now let's put them away so that they can cool down.

After about 10 minutes, I packed them in the freezer. Then I baked some other ones and put them on the counter to cool down, so after cleaning the kitchen, I decided to shower and get ready.

I took my towel and entered the bathroom. I showered, shaved, washed my hair, did my skincare, and left the bathroom. Being a girl needs very high maintenance.

I walked into my closet with a towel around me to find something good to wear; after some searching, I found a top and skirt that looked cute and pretty. Then I chose a black pantie and bra set and left the closet. Putting my clothes on the bed, I took a body lotion and applied it. Then I wear my undergarments and outfit and apply some deo and perfume.

I like to get ready a lot. It's fun, but I need to be more active. With a huff, I sit in front of the mirror to do my hair and put on a little makeup.

I comb my hair with my fingers a little

"Done," I said and sighed. Handling long hair is just like fighting someone. Your whole body hurts in the end. Then I did some cute natural makeup and applied some settings spray.

"Finally done!!" I screamed while stretching my body. I smiled and left my room to assemble the rest of the cookies, but when I was about to touch them, I heard a loud banging on my door.

"What the hell?" I whispered to myself. I walked towards the door to open it, but someone banged it loudly when I touched it again.

I opened the door a little aggressively" bitch wh-" I was about to yell in the face of the person, but suddenly someone shouted.

"Ohhhhh heyyyyyyyy blossommmmmmm!!!!!" Before I could process anything, he picked me up from my armpits, put me on another side, and ran inside the apartment. He...he means Jason. He is one of my best friends, but he is a little kid who is always in a sugar rush.

"Jasonnnnnnnnnn," my head snapped again towards the door and saw Bella running inside my apartment and stomping towards Jason.

"Guys, what the hell is going on??" I asked, annoyed, and was about to shut the door, but someone struck their feet in the Doorway.

"Hey, buttercup, don't forget me," I heard someone say from the other side, and I rolled my eyes and opened the door.

There was Mike standing. I smiled at him. He was fucked up. These kids had exhausted him. He was holding Bella's handbag in one hand and Jason's bag and laptop in another hand. He looked like he just ran a marathon. I laughed a little at his condition. He is the only one mature here.

"Awwww, likely. What happened??" I said, leaning against the door frame and crossing my arm.

"Arghh, don't ask, and stop fucking teasing me," he said irritatedly; I laughed.

"Okay, gimme those, " I said, taking Bella's handbag and laptop from his hands.

"Wow, thanks," he said, breathing and closing the door. I returned to the living room and put their stuff on the table.

They both were still arguing and ready to pull each other's hair." hmmm, what happened today" I asked Mike, who walked with a glass of water in his hand.

"Hmm, don't ask. They don't need any point in arguing, " Mike said, sipping his water.

"Yeah, but it's always disastrous for us," I said, leaning against the wall and looking at those two monkeys jumping around in the room, accusing each other.

"Hmm, true," he said, drinking his water. Right now, mike is more concerned about his water.

"Roseeeeeeee" I closed my eyes after I heard someone whining. "Roseeee tells him to give it back to me," Bella said, holding my left arm and whining.

"Aaaa, give you what?? Could you elaborate??" I said, looking at her face, which looked like a lost puppy.

"My..my ice cream," she said, pouting.

Aaa (sigh), and this is Bella. She is 19, but her behavior is nope.

"You guys are fighting over an ice cream," I said with a come-on look.

I heard Mike laugh a little, walking back to the kitchen." your turn; only you can solve this matter, mam," he said, walking away.

I sighed. "Jason gives it to her, " I said, looking over at Jason lying on my couch watching TV. "No, firstly say to her to give me my pizza back, then I can think about it," he said with a shrug, his eyes still on the TV.

"Now, what pizza??? Will you guys explain what happened??" I asked, annoyed and confused.

"Fine, listen," Jason said, switching off the TV and sitting on the couch, looking at us." I was doing my assignment work with mike and eating pizza fine; she came later, and that last leftover slice of pizza was mine. Still, I went to the bathroom. When I came back, I saw the whole box was empty, she ate my pizza without my permission and then she bought this ice cream when I asked for a bite she didn't give me, so I snatched it from her rest you know," he said getting up and sticking out his tongue at her then walking to the kitchen.

I sighed really???

I looked at Bella, who was looking at his back like a bull that could attack at any moment. I raised my eyebrows "don't worry; I have your favorite ice cream. Let him have that as compensation for his pizza," I ruffled her hair.

"Really? You have mint chocolate chip??" She squealed, and I laughed

"Yup," I said, popping the p.

"Fine, let's go. That one was vanilla," she said and ran towards the kitchen. I giggled and followed her, but when I entered the kitchen, my eye widened. "stop the app," I yelled and ran towards Jason, who looked at me like a deer caught in headlights. He tried to run away, but I got him." put them down," I said, pointing toward the tray.

"But I want one," he said, pleading at me with his big doe eyes.

"No, Jason, put it down. It is for someone. I will bake you another one " I snatched the cookie from his hand and put it back on the tray.

In this hustle-bustle, I forgot about them. "Come on, Rose, I also wanna eat it, " Mike said, trying to grab one cookie, but I slapped his hand away.

"No means no!" I said while packing the cookies and putting them into the freezer.

I looked at Bella. She was sitting at the counter with a whole box of ice cream dream and a spoon.

I laughed "someone gonna get a brain freeze," I said while closing the freezer door.

"Hey, where u get that??" Jason asked, walking towards her.

"It's none of your business," Bella said and turned to a little right in an attempt to hide it from him.

"Wow, you can have this back. Give me that one," Jason tried to bargain with a smile.

"No thanks, it might be already melted," she said, sticking her tongue out at him.

"Whattttt? Come on, man; I lost my pizza and now this ice cream too," he complained, putting the box of ice cream on the counter and dramatically putting his head on the counter on his hands.

Mike and I laughed at their drama and talked a little while sitting on the kitchen stool.

After 1 hour-----------------------------------------------

"Ohhhh, that's for Miss Smith, okay," Jason said, nodding while watching Tv. We all were sitting in the living room and talking. I told them about Jennifer and that she is leaving, so I am making those cookies.

"She is a lovely lady," Bella said, who had her head on my shoulder. After eating so much ice cream, she is now sleepy.

I smiled "hmmm."

"But it's good that she can live with her family now," mike said while tapping his phone.

"Yeah, true," I said,

We all were talking when we heard the bell of my apartment. I got up and walked out to open the door.

It was miss Jennifer, "Hey, sweety, I hope I didn't disturb you," she said with a smile.

"No, not at all," I said with a smile "do you have any work??" I asked.

"No, I was just here to say bye I am leaving," she said with a chuckle.

"Oh, okay, wait for a second," I said, turning slightly.

"Guys, come here fast!!" I shouted, looking towards the living room. After some seconds, they came there and greeted Mrs. Smith. After some light chit-chat, I spoke.

"Guys, Mrs. Smith is leaving," I said, looking at them. They started talking to her, so I left from there to get that cookie; I put both boxes in a paper bag and smiled to myself as I walked back to them.

"Mrs.. Smith, these are my goodbye gift for you," I said and gave that bag in her hand.

"Oh dear, there was no need to do this," she said with a smile.

"Why??? I wanted to bake for you," I said, putting my hands on my hips, and they all laughed.

"Thanks, sweetie," she said and kissed my forehead.

I will miss her.

"Yeah, mam, these are your favorite cookies," Mike said, pointing to the bag.

"Yeah, which she didn't let us touch," Jason pouted.

"Yeah, because it was for her, not u, that's it," I said with a shrug and poked his cheek. He Ruffled my hair, and I slapped his hand away.

"Don't," I said, setting my hair. They laughed again.

"I am going to miss you all," Mrs. Smith said.

"Awww, we will miss you too, but we are happy that you are returning to your family," Bella said, hugging her.

She smiled "so I think I should leave now," she said.

"Yeah, sure," Mike said, and we followed her to the elevator.

"Goodbye, my kids," she said with a wave.

We waved back and shouted, " Good, the elevator closed, " and we returned to my apartment.

We talked for a while then they all left. I closed the door after saying bye to them and plopped on the couch. I switched on the Tv and spent an hour on it. Then I glanced at the time 6:00.

" Hmmm, I should make dinner now," I whispered, getting up and going to the kitchen. I thought of going shopping, but these kids would never let me follow my plans.

I shook my head with a smile and started making some mac and cheese.
