Diamond was so happy that she could finally go home. Her bones ached intensely, threatening to give out on her.
She breathed deeply, savoring the cool evening breeze.
It was cool, refreshing and soothing to the skin.
Her gaze fell on the beautiful flowers that swayed slightly to the direction of the wind.
Her gaze suddenly diverted as a black SUV drove into the compound.
Diamond found it hard to tear her gaze away from the car, she had always wished to have one of those. She couldn't help but envy the sleek black SUV.
She decided to concentrate on where she was going as it was already getting late.
She got into her cab and Soon she was home.
She entered the apartment sluggishly and collapsed on the sofa.
She felt her bones relax as she embraced the comfort of the sofa.
"You are back", she heard Tanya say.
"Yes she replied", adjusting herself to face Tanya.
"I need a glass of water", Diamond said in a strained tone.
"Oh okay", Tanya said and quickly rushed to the kitchen.
Tanya came back with a bottle water and a glass. She sat on one of the sofas and then poured the water into the glass before handing to Diamond.
Diamond sat up before taking the glass from Tanya and then gulping it down.
"Easy", Tanya said, worried for her friend as she gulped down the water.
Diamond dropped the glass on the table and let out a sigh of relief.
" I think you should go take your bath and then come down stairs for dinner".
Diamond nodded in response and then went upstairs.
She switched on the lights as she entered her room and then went to her wardrobe to look for a night gown before going to take her bath.
Diamond felt refreshed as she stepped out of the bathroom, dried herself, and slipped into her night gown.
She took her phone and her bag and made her way down stairs.
"Hey, you are back,Tanya said, what's up with the bag", Tanya asked, curious why her friend was still carrying her bag.
Diamond excitedly sat on one of the sofas. "I got treats", Diamond said, know how much Tanya loved food.
Tanya's eye lit up," really?", she asked.
Diamond nodded and then began to unpack her bag.
She started with the pastries followed by the drinks and then the foods.,
"Oh my gosh, this must be my lucky day", Tanya exclaimed before grabbing one of the pastries and stuffing it into her mouth.
"I think it's the opposite for me", Diamond said while raising her now widened bag with a smudged look on her face.
Putting the bag aside, Diamond picked one of the pastries and took a bite.
"Oh this tastes exquisite,", she said as she began to stuff them into her mouth.
"These rich people really enjoy themselves", Tanya mumbled out loud as she had a mouth full of food.
"You could have seen the mansion", Diamond began to tell her friend about her experience and encounter and everything that had happened and she had gone through.
Tanya's facial expression kept changing as she spoke, some times she would frown and some times her eyes would widen in disbelief or a surprised look and sometimes she would smile.
"Wow, that's interesting", Tanya finally spoke.
"How was work today", Diamond asked.
"Normal as usual", Tanya replied.
"Ok, um, I was thinking of cancelling my day shift at the Mc Treats tomorrow".
"Yes, absolutely, Tanya said. You are two hundred bucks rich".
" It won't last forever".
"I know but it can sustain you for a while.
"Yh, plus I'm exhausted".
"Yh", Tanya screamed making Diamond to laugh.
"Annd,Tanya began, I'm having my off tomorrow so we could chill".
Diamond laughed uncontrollably as Tanya did some kind of funny dance as she said the last sentence.
"Alright alright, so I'm just gonna cancel it", Diamond reached for her phone and canceled her work shift.
"So I'm officially free tomorrowww!!", Diamond said as she now did the funny weird dance with Tanya.
Within minutes they collapsed on the sofa, panting like they had just come back from a war.
"I think we should eat".
"Definitely I agree with you", Diamond said as she changed the TV to her favorite channel before picking of a plate of rice.
She and Tanya ate and drank till they were full and then decided to go to bed.
Diamond switched off th TV before making her way up to her room.
She bidded Tanya good night before going to her room and collapsing on her bed.
She smiled at the softness of her bed and snuggled against her medium sized teddy 🧸.
She was happy to finally find comfort after a long day.
She mumbled some word of prayers before she finally dozed off.
