7 Taking a (Half) Day Off

"And it looks like we're done here," I say, signing the final page of the contract.

The lawyer from Anazon, Rachel, and I were standing outside the warehouse that I owned. I had just finished signing the contract which rents off 100 of my UTFs to them for a month. I now had more than 7.6 million dollars in the bank.

I had already draw up my plan for how I was going to use this newly made wealth, which was to use 5 million of that to buy 1,000 UTFs. I will then use 2 million to buy many different things from the user store, increasing my products from just vacuums. Instead of something that is a daily necessity, I decided to go in the entertainment direction for future products.

I will be selling a <Hologram Projector>, which cost 10,000 credits, for $20,000, which is a reasonable price considering that good, full room projectors can cost up to $400,000. The one I buy from the system is a set of four projectors, six inches by two inches, set up in the corners of a room, which can create high definition pictures and videos. Videos and pictures can be downloaded from the internet, so as they are 3 dimensional in some way. The videos and pictures can also be interacted with, which was a really amazing feature that almost no other projector can duplicate, and only by using special motion detectors which wouldn't always accurately read your movement.

I have stocked up 200 of these at the moment, and the sales can easily replace a bought one, giving me a profit of $10,000.

With the remaining $600,000, I bought a huge 200 by 300 meter steel warehouse which is where I stock all my products. Although the original price of the building was $400,000, I used the left over $200,000 to reinforce the entire warehouse with another layer of steel. I did this because I am planning on using it as a satellite shelter, stocked with food, water, weapons, and a self renewable supply of electric energy from solar panels.

With the warehouse modification set to be finished in three days and everything taken care of, I had nothing left to do.

'I should take another day off and go into town with Amy, and maybe some of her friends. Maybe go get some lunch, shop for a little, or go sing some karaoke.' I wanted to do something fun with my sister.

Arriving home, I knock on my sister's bedroom door before walking in. Seeing as she was still asleep, I smile before vigorously shaking her awake,"Get up sleepy head, it's already 10:30."

"AHHH, what's happening! Stop it! I'm up, I'm up!" Disorientated, Amy quickly sits up, the sheets falling away to reveal her naked breasts,"Get some clothes on idiot! Why do you always like sleeping in the nude?!" A little flustered, I storm out of the room with Amy's hysterical laughter following me out.

"You always get so shy when you see anyone naked, even your own sister. Ahahaha, I know your weaknesses! I won't let you get away with waking me up so rudely!"

"Hey! I only got so flustered because I wasn't expecting you to be completely naked! Anyways, we are going to go to the Moonlight Karaoke bar, do you want to invite some of your friends?" I ask, trying to push aside my embarrassment.

"What, are you trying to hook up with some of my friends? I know your sexual preference is towards girls, but trying to make me hook you up with my best friends, don't you have any standards?" Amy calls back to me, faking a tone as if genuinely hurt that I could suggest such a thing.

"Don't use my sexual orientation to irritate me!" I yell back. I wasn't really that angry with her, I wasn't very sensitive about this part of me, just accepting it and living life like normal.

After a few minutes, during which she continually tries to antagonize me, Amy finally comes out of her room, dressed in casual clothes.

"I'm going to call some friends to ask if they want to come do karaoke with us, wait just a little longer." Amy tells me, dialing in a phone number.

After a few more calls, she tells me that three of her friends will meet us at Moonlight Karaoke. Leaving the house, we head to the karaoke bar, meeting up with Amy's three friends at noon.

After eating a long lunch, we head up to one of the private rooms, singing along to popular songs. I don't want to sound biased, but I thought that I had the best singing voice out of all of us hear, although the other girls had amazing voices too.

Spending the rest of the afternoon singing at Moonlight Karaoke, we only come home at 6:00, our voices a little hoarse.

Walking into the living room, I pick up Amy and lay down on the couch with her, putting on a romantic comedy television series that we had been watching. Since I was young, I would always hold Amy in my lap whenever we sat down to watch something, a habit that has stuck with me.

After binge watching the rest of the series, Amy was tired and went up to bed while I went over to my computer to check how the delivery forms were working out. To my shock, the orders for the <Hologram Projector> were through the roof, with the large stockpile of them already sold out.

'Who knew that there were so many people out there that liked these types of things and also had the money to spend on it?' I think to myself.

Refilling my stock of <Hologram Projectors> to 400 with the money made from the previous ones sold, I turn my computer off. It had been a long, fun, and rewarding day today, and I needed to get some shut eye.

Heading upstairs, I make for the bathroom to take a shower, when I spot out of the corner of my eye a picture. Picking it up, I notice that it is a picture of a young man I had never seen before. 'It seemed as if it was dropped on accident on her way to the restroom.' I observe.

Wondering why Amy would have a picture of some dude, I turn it over, only to find that written on the back, clearly in Amy's handwriting, is a love poem, written to the man in the picture. 'Oho, looks like I found who Amy's secret crush is. She is going to be so embarrassed when I show her this. I can't wait to see the look on her face! I told her I would get her back for all those times!'

Laughing silently, I proceed on to take a short shower, drying off and getting dressed into my favorite pair of pajamas, placing the picture under my clothes in my closet. Falling into bed with a soft sigh, my mind slowly loses all thoughts as I slip into unconsciousness.
