Bella was on the phone while Sera pulled Gabby into a bone-crushing hug after she ushered them in."Gosh, I missed you."Gabby rolled her eyes but returned Sera's hug. "It's not up to 24 hours that you last saw me. I know you don't really miss me. You just wanted to know what went down between Sam and I but sorry to burst your bubble, nothing happened."
Gabriella had fun home-partying with her besties. They had so much to eat and drink, they danced, took silly pictures and videos which Sera posted on her snap and most importantly, they made many conversations. There always seem to be unending things to talk about whenever the trio were together.Sera and Bella took their leave around a few minutes past 9 pm, after helping Gabby to clean up the mess they all made.When Gabriella got back to her apartment from escorting her f

She looked at her ceiling for a few seconds, did some lazy stretches, then reached for her phone on her bedside.She had two missed calls from Sam. Without thinking twice, She called him immediately and he answered after a few rings."Heyy" She greeted, Her voice hoarse from just waking up.
Gabriella's aunt's baby shower was on Saturday. She didn't have a car of her own so her elder brother, Daniel offered to come to pick her up. It was a 45 minutes drive from her apartment to Cairo, Florida.Gabby planned to spend the whole Saturday with her family at aunt Marie's place after which she would spend the night at her parent's home which was a few minutes away from her aunt's home. Then she will return to her apartment on Sunday afternoon. Hopefully, Dave, Dan or her Dad will be willing to bring her back to her apartment.
The following week turned out to be a busy one for everyone.

By 2:40, Gabriella was all set and waiting for Sam to come to pick her up. She had packed all the stuff she would need for the weekend.

"We would have celebrated in my house, back in Tallahassee if I didn't have to be here urgently. So I had no choice but to bring you with me. We both had fun on our little road trip down here and now we have the rest of the day to ourselves to do whatever we want. I hope you liked my surprise.""I love it. Thank you." She kissed his cheek.Sam released himself from Gabby, went over to the bedside and picked up the wrapped gift.
