As she was unbuckling her seatbelt I stared at gorgeous house Sere called home. She had a circular driveway, a fountain in the middle, with fresh water sprinkling through it, glittering in the sun. Her house was a rectangle shape, a large balcony was just over the large arched double doors. There were arched windows along the off white walls. The inside was just as beautiful too. There were 11 bedrooms, and 18 bathrooms. She always joked about being able to use a new bathroom for over two weeks. Her rooms were filled with candles attached to the walls, with electronic candles. Most of the floors were wood or tiles, except for the bedrooms on the second story, covered in white carpet. Her bedroom was very large, consisting of a few couches in a full circle, with a furry rug in the center. Her bed was a crème color with curtains surrounding it, with love seats on either side, and glass doors leading to balconies, one viewing her driveway, the other looking out onto the large pool. She had good taste.
Serenity froze in the middle of getting out of my car.
"Hey, you have no where to go for the next two hours do you?" She asked me, looking at her house thoughtfully. A gentle breeze was teasing her hair across her face. I shrugged nonchalantly.
"Well.. I do have to go to a party tonight to meet the CEO of a company who wants to merge with my record company and if I don't make it my entire career is down the drain... " I trailed off. She grinned.
"GOOD! That means you can help me!" Oi.. I had a bad feeling about this...
And that is how I found myself in a frilly pink apron, with a pink bandanna on my head, a duster in my right hand and a mop in my left, and as a new picture in Serenity's album. Damn Serenity for her refusal to get maids. Damn her house for being huge, and damn me for my weakness to puppy dog eyes. Her kitchen was huge, in a right angle shape, on one side the marble counters and sinks, across from that was the pantry. Around on the other side of the angle, it spread out into a large fancy dining room.
"One of these days.." I started, while scrubbing the sink, " one of these days I'll get you for this.." I grumbled. Serenity's tinkling laugh sounded afterwards.
"You mean you don't love your welcoming party? And you'll never manage to get back at me, considering your weakness to my adorable innocent face." I wanted to shove the duster down her throat. Luckily, I am one who can control his emotions extremely well.
"Besides.." she started, "I got you a welcome back present. I'll give it to you after you finish scrubbing that sink." She said calmly. A present? Me? She got me a present? I had the best best friend in the world! A present! This was wonderful! I attacked the sink with renewed vigor. In three seconds flat it was done.
"Done! Done done! Where is my present? Where? " I demanded. Serenity looked at me calmly. Okay.. I admit it .. I was acting like I was two.. but it was a present! For me! For coming home! Now if she'd just get that all knowing smirk off her face and tell me where my present was.. we'd be in business!
"Geez Endy.. its Christmas.. where do you think I'd put your present? " She asked, blowing a golden bang out of her eyes, and putting an annoyed hand on her hip. Of course! I dashed into her living room and over to the six foot tree. I didn't notice the gorgeous decorations on the tree, with mistletoe tastefully placed, and delicate lights streaming over . I only noticed the mountain of presents next to it and nearly whimpered.
"SEREEEEEE" I whined.
"You're such a baby! Its on the right!" She shouted. I eagerly maneuvered over there and found.. not one.. but TWO yes.. two Presents with my name on it! I stared at the presents(two of them!) One was square, with Santa Claus dotting the wrapping paper. The other had small colorful pieces of luggage on the paper. At another time would I wonder where in the hell Serenity managed to find wrapping paper with suitcases on it, but right now I was using my high intelligence to figure out which present to open. Now normally one would think that I would automatically go for the suitcases, but obviously since that is the one from welcome home it won't be as good as the Christmas present! Because the Christmas present.. well that was for Christmas.. so if I accidentally opened that, I knew that Serenity wouldn't want to give me the suitcases one because it wouldn't be as good!
"Come here Santa!" I murmured, reaching out for the Christmas present, only to find a mop in my face. A wet mop. A sudsy wet mop.
"Don't think about it." Serenity growled removing the mop, and taking the Christmas present. I gave her my best puppy dog eyes… it didn't work. She only glared at me and pointed at my other gift with the end of her mop. I reluctantly reached for it and opened it to find..
"Serenity you are the best person in the world!" I exclaimed staring at my favorite chocolate that currently was in my lap. She shrugged.
"Actually I'm pretty selfsh, I only do it so I can see you drop the 'I'm too cool for that thing called emotions.' act." She said. I scowled.
"Sere you're trying to fatten me up aren't you?" I accused. Serenity rolled her eyes and went back into her kitchen.
"Ha!" She shouted. I followed her
"do you realize what it takes to keep this body? I have to work out all the time.. and I'm on a certain diet.. and you go and buy my favorite dark chocolate…" She placed her hand over her heart and stared upwards.
"I can't believe I have committed the highest crime against all humanity.." she said in a sickenly sweet voice, "I bought my best friend his favorite chocolate.. heaven forbid!" Serenity put away her mop. I smiled to myself.
"Hey Sere.. I have to go before my manager shishkabobs me for being late." Serenity made a face.
"Sometimes I think she has a crush on you."
"Who doesn't?" I asked with a quirked eyebrow, showing I was joking. She poked me in the gut.
"Arrogant pig. I'll see you later." She stuck out her tongue. I smiled before walking out.
"Don't forget that premier." I called before the door closed.
"As if I could!" She called out, it muffled from the wood.
