I came out from the washroom, wearing my comfy pajamas, and directly jumped on my bed then start to roll all over it.

"Ahh, I love you so fucking much baby. You are so soft and comfy. You are the one and only boyfriend I ever need" I cooed to my bed and snuggled my face on a pillow, sighing peacefully.

Unexpectedly, I began to hear waves of laughter and my head jerked up in shock. There were my best friends in their all glory.

Jerome was clutching his stomach and kept laughing boisterously while struggling to balance the pizza box in his other hand.

Alva started to cough due to cracking up too much, serves you right bitch! And Salvia patted Alva's back warmly to stop her from coughing and tried her best to not laugh by biting her lower lip.

I rolled my eyes at their overly dramatic reaction, can't a girl even appreciate the good things in her life?   Standing up, I  snatched the pizza box from Jerome and settled on the bed again with crossed legs. I opened the box and grabbed a slice then started to devour it heartily. I glanced up to find that they were in the exact position and grunted infuriatingly.

"Would you all quit already? It wasn't even that funny. And when did you all even come?" I inquested while resuming to eat. Gradually everyone sobered up and Jerome sat beside me then took a slice from the box.

"We came when you were confessing your undying love to your bed," he snorted. I rolled my eyes and Alva laid on the bed with her head on my lap and I groaned, combatting to pull away but she looked up and stuck her tongue out at me. I sighed in defeat and shook my head at her childlike antics.

"Kitty you show more emotions to your bed than you ever showed to your past boyfriends," Alva derided while gobbling up her slice I swear even pigs can eat in a more well-mannered way than her. I scowled at her for calling me kitty and she just rolled her eyes.

She started calling me kitty since we were in grade 1 because according to her, I despised humans as cats do.

Alva was my best friend since childhood. In my institute, I was an aloof and temperamental kid, so I didn't have any friends for which I was kinda gratified of as I wasn't keen on chattering to those nasty ludicrous kids who just knew how to pick their noses and be a whiny spoiled brat. 

But in grade 1, Alva shifted to my school and her seat was assigned beside me. And let me tell you, Alva was persistent af! No matter what I used to do or say, she remained unfazed and kept being adamant to be my friend.

After almost a year, I had finally endorsed her as my best friend, and ever since then we ever inseparable. We even attended the same university and resided in the same dorm room where we met Jerome and Salvia.

"Well duh! I didn't have to spend dollars on my ex-boyfriends but my bed did cost me a fortune. So it is more valuable" I asserted with a shrug and Jerome and Alva just rolled their eyes at me while Salvia gasped, keeping her right hand on her chest, a theatrical effect was visible too.

"Oh, honey! These materialistic things have no significance!! Real happiness comes from the love, affection, and care given by your soulmate. Your love of the life." Salvia announced exuberantly while I had to control my urge to yawn.

No offense! Salvia was a congenial person and I didn't particularly detest her but her overly dramatic personality and fascination for lovey-dovey stuff, always vexed and exhausted the hell out of me, I mean soulmates? Was it still a thing?

"I know right! She came off as so miserable and lonesome while whirling all over her super comfy bed." Jerome snided to Salvia then glanced at me with a forgery depressing expression and continued.

. "You were on the verge of crying, right, Lilith?" He nudged me and we both burst into laughter, high-fiving and Alva fought to control herself from cracking up.

"Well, not everyone is a sucker and desperate for money like you, Jerome. Some people still value sentiments and love over these materialistic things." Salvia argued, her hand formed into a clenched fist.

"It's easier for you to say that daddy's little princess but not everyone is born in a castle-like you. Some of us have to battle to even have a roof over our heads" He scoffed and I rolled my eyes at their dramatic dialogues.

It was their usual shenanigans. Jerome had belonged to an impoverished household and Salvia was a wealthy businessman's daughter. Jerome despised Salvia for her luxurious life and she returned the favor to him for his impertinent behavior.

Both Alva and I sneakily pulled out our phones then started to send each meme through insta, dismissing their ridiculous conversation.

"All castles are beautiful and desirable from outside, Jerome but only the dwellers of those forts know that castles are nothing but a sumptuous prison cell where you might have everything but the most important thing would be taken away from you which is" Salvia paused and sighed, looking down then stared at Jerome with a doleful smile and continued "your freedom"  Jerome just rolled his eyes at her little philosophical speech.

"Girl I rather cry, sitting inside a Lamborghini than be free and happy while living on the streets," I disputed with a yawn without even looking away from my phone while Jerome snickered and Salvia rolled her eyes with a small smile then shook her head.

"Anyway, I gotta go! My driver must have arrived by now" Salvia announced and Alva peeked at her with a pout.

"But we had planned on having a sleepover at kitty's house today! You can't go like that Salvia." Alva said while pouting more and I internally groaned. I already had enough of Salvia's philosophical speech, I didn't want more.

Salvia smiled sadly and leaned down then gave Alva a quick hug "I am sorry Alva but I gotta go" Salvia muttered and slowly pulled away then Alva crossed her arms and mumbled with puffed cheeks

"Fine!! Now go away!!" Salvia chuckled softly and took her bag then went out of my room. Soon I heard the main door opened and then closed. Both Jerome and I sighed in relief at the same time while Alva just shook her head in disappointment after seeing our reaction and got up from the bed

"Why do you guys always have to be so rude to her?! She is such a nice girl!!!" Alva said while going to my closet and I just rolled my eyes then laid down comfortably and continued to scroll through insta

"Don't come after me bitch! It's Jerome who is rude to her. I don't even bother to engage in her sappy talks, I have better things to do in life" I said while pulling the blanket over me and Alva just rolled her eyes then started to strip down her clothes in front of us only and wore my ones, whatcha said? Shame?! Oh, no honey! That doesn't exist in Alva.

Soon we ordered some spaghetti and started to watch a rom-com movie which obviously Alva had chosen!! Jerome, Alva, and I all laid on my bedside by side, with me in the middle, and continued to eat while Alva was watching the movie and Jerome was doing some work on his laptop this guy was on another level workaholic. I was reading a  book when Jerome suddenly spoke up

"You are shifting next week, right?" Jerome said and I groaned then hit the back of his head while Alva gasped and Jerome just pouted in confusion, rubbing his head.

"KITTY YOU ARE SHIFTING AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN BOTHERED TO SAY THAT TO ME?!" Alva shouted and I just took a deep breath and looked up at her with a fake smile

"Because then you will start to whine like a whiny ass baby, saying that I should shift to your apartment and live together. And no!! I don't wanna be your roommate because I have already learned my lesson during our university days!!" I said and Alva pouted while Jerome laughed loudly

"You are such a meanie!!! I don't wanna talk to you anymore!! I am going to sleep!! Bye!!" Alva said childishly and quickly finished her spaghetti in one go then turned around, making me face her and pretended to sleep while Jerome and I chuckled silently.

"Well I am going to your other room and gonna sleep there," Jerome said but I cut him off in between "You mean work there?" I said sarcastically and he smiled sheepishly at me, getting up and left the room with his laptop and spaghetti. I slowly leaned forward and saw Alva struggled to pretend to be asleep then I rolled my eyes with a small smile and started to poke her stomach

"Stop with your shenanigans bitch and watch this stupid movie," I said and she quickly opened her eyes then muttered with a pout "it's not stupid!! You are just unromantic!!"

I just shrugged and she sits up then lays her head on my shoulder, I didn't even bother to move her away as I already knew it would be useless. We just kept watching the movie the whole night without even noticing the time.
