Thank you so, so much, hiseask17, for this prompt! I have no idea what's happening to me, it's like I donno what to write about! Talk about writers block!
Drabble: 9
POV: Third Person
Jill's birthday was coming up, and Rose didn't know what to give her.
Sure, they were close, but Rose had never known Jill's likes or interests. She should have made small talk...!
Lissa had spent a whole week going around arranging an interview with a fashion magazine, so that Jill could have a chance at that modelling stint she wanted to do so badly. Adrian had bought her some very tasteful and expensive shoes, which she had been talking about all month. Eddie was taking her on a date to her favourite restaurant, Christian had baked her the kind of muffins she loved. Even Dimitri had bought her a a kitten from a shelter! He had coupled it with a simple card, and seeing Rose's hassle, offered to write both their names on it, but she had declined his very tempting offer. She wanted to give Jill something special.
The next day, Jill was surprised to find a suspiciously cheerful Rose at her door. After asking about her sudden appearance, which Rose said was to just talk, Jill ushered her inside. The two women plopped themselves on Jill's bed and promptly started talking. Why waste precious time?
Rose listened to Jill's every word carefully, yet Jill said nothing about something she wanted. Frustrated, Rose was about to give up, when...
"Damn it! This was my favourite!" Jill said, upturning a bottle of lime green nailpolish as if that would refill the bottle. Being upset and all, she didn't notice the way Rose's eyes lit up, an idea forming in her head.
On her birthday, Jill got a whole lot of presents, all of them something or the other that she loved, especially the kitten. But her joy knew no bounds, when she found a small, messily wrapped box, stuffed with bottles of nailpolish, surprisingly in her favourite colours.
So you never run out...XOXO Rose.
Any thoughts? Just read the Darkest Powers Trilogy today. It must have been the first set of books I have ever read, where the guy is ugly looking and still manages to get the girl! :D
