Chapter 59: Chapter 59
LUCY
When Bruce and Simoune picked me up, I immediately entered the house. I was about to go to bed when I remembered that Bruce's birthday is tomorrow
Can I buy a gift before I take a break? I went down to the living room again and was looking for my car key
"Oh, you're already here e. How is Simoune? Did you visit her?” Mommy said
"Yes mommy, I just got back from the hospital and Bruce drove me here so I got home quickly. Simoune is doing well now and she came home a while ago" I said
"That's good, didn't she change school, how is she going to go their?" Mommy asked
"Bruce and I will deliver her in their school before we go in school, that's what Bruce wants because he wants us to be safe. It's good that even though he was in the hospital watching over Simoune, he still delivered and picked me up here and in school" I said
"Bruce is really nice, are you leaving?" Mommy asked
"Yes, I'm going to buy something to present to Bruce because his birthday is coming up, the next day actually" I said
"Do you want me to go with you? Your daddy isn't here yet, we can go outside and come back right away, right?" Mommy said
"Yes, I'll just buy it and go home immediately" I said
I have no choice but to take Mommy along because she wants to go, I'm even nervous because I'll be the one driving, it's good and I'm confident to drive because maybe if it's Daddy I'll be even more nervous and maybe I won't be able to drive
We got in the car and I started driving to the mall
I don't know what to buy Bruce as a present, what's nice? Hmmmmmm….
"Mommy? What's a good gift for Bruce?" I asked
"I think it's nice that you give him a shirt, or perhaps perfume" Mommy said
It seems like the shirt is common, but maybe I'll only buy two, perfume and shirt so that the shirt comes with the perfume
When we got to the mall, we immediately walked in and looked for men's shirts
"What's a good shirt mommy?" I asked again
"Only neutral colors are good, it's up to you to go shopping and I'll shop around first and maybe I'll buy my clothes too" Mommy said
Mommy walked away from me because she said she was looking for clothes to buy. I walked further and I saw a plain brown shirt that seemed to fit Bruce because he had a good and big body
I feel like Bruce will look like a handsome man when he wears it HAHAHAHA
Well Bruce is happy even i didn't give him a gift but he is even more happy if a have a gift
I took the plain brown and black, the two shirts I took so that he has a choice, you know I don't have idea if he likes brown, right?
I've been looking for perfumes for men and when I saw the section for men's perfume, I was overwhelmed there are so many perfumes, which one should I buy? I smelled the perfumes one by one, usually the ones I smelled are dizzy and hurt my nose. It's good that I smelled the Chanel Blue de Chanel very fragrant and not too strong of a smell, so I took it and went to the cashier, when I paid for what I bought, I also bought a gift wrapper
After I finished shopping, I looked for Mommy I saw her carrying clothes, it looks like she bought her clothes too
"Mommy? Whose clothes did you buy?" I asked
"Your daddy and me of course" Mommy said
"That's sweet!" I said
“Of course! It's for you daddy fo have a new clothes, wait? Did you buy and pay already?” Mommy asked
I held up the paper bag I was carrying to show that I had made a purchase. After mommy finished paying, mommy decided that we should go home because we might spend the night
We immediately went to the parking lot and got in the car
"What gift did you buy?" Mommy asked
"Shirt and perfume mommy" I said
"Wow? Two really? I just said that, shirt is good and also the perfume but I didn't say that you have to buy both of it" mommy said
"It's okay mommy, it's better to have a shirt and perfume mommy" I said
Mommy just smiled while I was serious about driving, when we got home I immediately went to the kitchen and ate so I could go straight to sleep later. After I finished eating, I wrapped my gift for Bruce, I went up to my room carrying the gift I was going to give to Bruce and then I lay down, the day was really tiring! Then we still have a research paper to do, it's a headache to do a research paper, I hope we can graduate and of course I hope I can see Anthony again
I don't have time to go to the bar anymore because I'm busy with research, maybe after the research paper I'll go to the bar again. I hope I can see him again, and I hope he doesn't have a girlfriend yet
BRUCE
I woke up to my alarm, it was exactly 4am because I had to finish showering and eating early because I was going to take Simoune to her school. I got up immediately, I remembered that tomorrow is September 2? It's my birthday. I will ask mommy what I can do for tomorrow
I immediately went downstairs and saw mommy and daddy in the kitchen
"Good morning son!" Mommy said
"Good morning mommy and daddy" I response
"Tomorrow is your birthday, what do you want?" Mommy asked
"I would like a party mommy, so I can be with my other friends" I said
"Does you have know any hotel that can hold your birthday?" Mommy asked
"I know something mommy, is that okay with you?" I asked
"Yes, it's your birthday, as long as you have to control the alcohol so that you don't get super drunk, time flies so fast, 23 years old is just like when I was carrying you" Mommy said
I hugged Mommy as well as daddy
"Next time our son will get married" Daddy said
"He doesn't even have a girlfriend yet" Mommy said laughing at me
Look, these two are still laughing at me that I don't have a girlfriend, if I really get a girlfriend, I'll be very careful!
I ate while Mommy and Daddy chatted, I also told the hotel that I wanted to celebrate so mommy also called it to settle what will happen for tomorrow
"Everything is settled son, are there many guests?" Mommy asked
"It's not too much, it's just right" I said
"Oh okay, your daddy and I will go there to assist those who will serve the food and so we can meet your friends" Mommy said
"Alright mommy, mommy I'm leaving early today because I'm going to take Simoune to De La Salle" I said
"Is she going to school?" Mommy asked
"Yes, that's why I'm supporting her now" I said
"Alright, always be careful when driving. Okay?” Mommy said
"Yes Mommy, of course" I said
After I finished eating, I went to my room to take a shower and get dressed. After I showered, I texted Lucy
"Lucy, are you ready?" I texted
"I'm just finished getting dressed, pick up Simoune first" Lucy said
I immediately went downstairs and said goodbye to mommy
"Mommy and Daddy, I'm leaving, I'll pick up Simoune" I said
"Be careful, okay?" Mommy said
I kissed mommy and hugged her before I left the house, I got in my car and started driving to Simoune's house, I saw uncle outside Simoune's house
"Oh Bruce is here, it's just right time because Simoune is ready" uncle said
"That's good uncle, good morning" I said
"Good morning too, thank you for all your efforts! I won't be able to deliver her because I'm leaving now too, I'm going to work" uncle said
"It's okay uncle, I'll take care of it" I said
I saw Simoune walking out of the door of their house, uncle was supporting her until she got into the car. When everything was okay, Simoune and I said goodbye to uncle
"Daddy! We're leaving!” Simoune said
"Uncle, we're leaving now" I said
"Alright be careful" Uncle said
We were about to leave when I remembered that I was going to have a party tomorrow so I immediately called uncle again
"Uncle!?" I said
"Why?" uncle asked
"Can I take Simoune to my birthday party tomorrow?" I said
"Oh? Is it your birthday? All right, it's okay as long as you bring Simoune home. Okay?” uncle said
"Yes uncle, even you are invited" I said
"I'm not sure if I can go home early tomorrow but it's okay for Simoune to take you with you as long as you make sure you take care of her" uncle said
"Yes uncle, thank you" I said
I started to start the car and go to the Lucy's house
"Tomorrow is your birthday?" Simoune asked
"Yes, do you want to come? There is no school tomorrow. I'll fetch you" I said
"Alright, Daddy agreed too so I can go" Simoune said
We both smiled, I looked at Lucy outside their house and she immediately entered the car
“Good morning!!!!!” Lucy said
"Good morning too, we'll take Simoune first and then we'll go into school" I said
"Alright, it's okay with me" Lucy said
"By the way, tomorrow Lucy, I'm having a party for my birthday at the hotel, come! I will pick you up with Simoune" I said
"Wow!? All right! I have a gift for you!” Lucy said
"Thank you in advance" I said
When we got to Simoune's school, I supported her until we got to her room, and I saw Clarisse smiling
"Simoune has been released from the hospital? That's why she was gone when I went there yesterday" Clarisse said to me
"Yes, and she said zhe wanted to go to school, so here I am taking her. Please just take care of her Clarisse! thank you” I said
"You can hope— what's your name again?" Clarisse said
"Bruce" I said
"You can trust me Bruce" Clarisse said
I left Simoune and returned to the car
"Is Simoune okay? Is she in the room already?” Lucy asked
"Yes, I took her to her room, Clarisse is there, she will take care of her" I said
"Is that her friend?" Lucy asked
"That's what Simoune told me" I said
We hurried to school and when we arrived, we immediately went to the parking lot to park and immediately walked into the campus. Lucy and I are a little late but that's okay too
Class has started and I can't focus, I'm thinking that there might be an emergency and I won't be at her school.
After our class, I immediately called my friends to invite them to my party tomorrow
“Oh Bruce?” Tony asked
"Maybe you're forgetting my birthday is tomorrow?" I said
"Of course I won't forget that! Where are we?" Tony said
"I have a party tomorrow, I'll just send you the address so you don't get lost" I said
"Wait, can I come with someone?" Tony asked
"Of course, then tell our other troops" I said
"Okay, okay, how is the Simoune you're talking about?" Tony asked
"She's okay, she had an accident in the past but now she's recovering" I said
"She's had a terrible accident, poor thing, it's a good thing you're here to take care of her" Tony said
"Oh okay, we're going to do a research paper" I said
"Alright, See you tomorrow" Tony said
I ended the call and then I focused on our research that is being done so that we can leave. I can't be bothered because Simoune doesn't have a phone with her so I don't have contact with her
"Do you want to go home?" Lucy asked
"Of course I will pick up Simoune" I said
"It's almost over!" Lucy said
I hope it's over so I can pick up Simoune
...
While Bruce and Lucy did their research paper, Simoune's class was about to end. So when it was over, Clarisse accompanied her to wait near the gate and talked
Clarisse also asked if she had any contact with Bruce but Simoune said she didn't have a phone with her. So what Clarisse did was she first took Simoune to the cafe just opposite their school while waiting because Clarisse was also hungry. A few minutes later, Clarisse saw that Bruce had arrived and was looking for her, Clarisse immediately took Simoune out of the cafe and brought her to Bruuce
Bruce thanks Clarisse profusely for taking care of Simoune and Bruce helps Simoune into the car, Clarisse immediately said goodbye to Bruce and she went to her car
Bruce took Lucy and Simoune to their respective houses. Simoune seems very happy because she is able to go in school again, even though she doesn't remember her classmates very well, they are still kind because they helped Simoune in all the activities she missed
While Lucy did a research paper, Bruce was busy talking to the caterer who will arrange his birthday for tomorrow, so Bruce tells Lucy that he can't help her with the research paper because he will be busy with his birthday. It was okay with Lucy so she let her do the research
While Bruce was busy organizing his birthday celebration for tomorrow, Simoune was also busy making activities that she would pass on the next day and Nanny Lily cleaned her wound and made Simoune drink medicine
Will Bruce's birthday celebration be good?
