"This is your room," Estella stated, as we entered the room. It was a spacious room filled with minimal yet classy things. The bed was nice and big. There was also a balcony. I left the luggage in the corner and moved towards it. Sliding the glass door, I took a good look. "That's what we call a view," I whispered as I felt the cool breeze touching my face. "Mrs. Gomez will be glad to see that you liked the room," Estella commented and I turned to her," Please express my gratitude to her."
Estella nodded with a pleasing smile on her face, "Of course, Ms. Carter. The lunch will be ready in two hours until then help yourself. Please that button to call the helper if you need anything." She pointed towards a buzzer kept on the side table. My goodness, how lazy these people can be? I did not voice out my thoughts and responded with a nod. Estella bowed before leaving the room. As she moved out, I locked the door and observed my surroundings. The room consists of a bed, a side table, a sitting area with two chairs, and a table, a vanity. There were in total four doors. Two were wooden which included the main door, and the glass door which entrance to the balcony. The other doors were yet to be explored. Let's see what we have here. I chose the wooden one. As the door opened, my eyes fell on the scenery in front of me. Holy shit! This bathroom is the size of my freaking room. There was a big ass bathtub and a shower cubicle. A washbasin with amenities and folded white towels. It felt like I entered a kdrama. This is what I saw in those shows and now I was seeing it all with my very own eyes. It was all mine to use. Fuck yes!
I walked into the bathroom and turned on the tap. After adjusting the temperature, I let the tub be filled with water. While this is filling, let's explore the other door. With this thought, I moved out of the bathroom and slid the other door glass. It was smaller in space compared to others and had hangers and drawers on both sides. Two mirrors placed against each other making a beautiful illusion. Don't tell me this is what I think. I pinched myself, "Ow, it hurts." I rubbed my arm and moved my gaze around. "It is the freaking walk-in closet. How in the world mother did not mention this rich friend of hers." I walked in and twirled around feeling a little excited and nervous. My loose clothes will not fit this luxurious wardrobe but...who cares? It's my room and I will do what I please.
I walked back into the room and opened my suitcase. Getting a nice pair of sweatpants and t-shirt and undergarments, I moved into the bathroom. The tub was almost full. I stripped down, keeping my clothes in the basket. Testing the water with my hands, I entered the tub. As my body finally relaxed, I closed my eyes. Time passed and when the water started to get cold, I got out. Wrapping a towel around my body, I drained off the water. After drying myself, I put on the clothes. Tying my hair in a high bun, I gazed at the clock. There were still 45 minutes left, I could unpack my luggage. I got my suitcase on the bed and started to separate all the clothes from my other belongings. When Mother broke the news of me moving in, I packed the essentials, so it took 30 minutes to place everything.
Let's call our girl. I retrieved my phone and FaceTime Betty. "Hey Rose, I just heard you are moving in with one of your mother's friends."
I settled on the bed as I looked at the screen, "Yeah, just reached. The place is kind of nice."
"Oh shit, if you are saying nice then it must be extravagant." I laughed at her comment."So, what's going on there?" I needed to know what happened to that jerk. I swear if he pulled any stunt, I will drive back to Jercy to kick his ass. "Nothing much, same old shit. Cameron and his family shifted to another city after the word went out about him."
"Fuck, are you okay?" I was concerned for her. Betty's parents were orthodox and if the word got out then...how can she be so fucking calm? Wild thoughts started to get me when Betty's voice broke my trance, "Hey! Stop thinking shit. Only the news of him leaking some girl's pictures got out. My name is not mentioned anywhere. So chill."
"Damn, I almost thought to drive back and kick his ass off." Betty broke into laughter and I too gave in with a grin. "Ahh..I miss you, babe. How long will you stay there?"
I shrugged my shoulder, "Don't know. At least a month or two until the matter gets cools off."
" Fuck, I think I should also move in with my mother's friend for a while," Betty commented. I rolled my eyes, "Whatever."
"By the way, is there any boy toy?"
"Jeez Betty, I just got here. I haven't met even the family members yet."
"Chill nerd, I think you might have got some info on this unknown mother's friend," I recalled the moment when Lyla told me about her family. "Yeah, they are a nuclear family of four. Lyla, her husband Maximus, and two kids."
"Girl, that's the least you can dig up on someone. Didn't I teach you stalking skills? Make it in use and dig some info, aka, gossip till tomorrow. Till then, bye bitch." Before I could speak, she hung up on me. I sighed and shook my head. Then I checked the messages. Two messages, one from mom and another from my college group which I should have left way before. I answered Mom's message and texted about my arrival and will call her in the evening. After I texted her, I gazed up. It was almost time for lunch. Putting my phone in my pocket, I got out of the room.
