6 Chapter 6 {Pleasant Surprise Part 1}

Shakira's POV:

As I told her what happened with full details, she didn't stop grinning at me which made me blush every time

-can you stop with that annoying grin. I snapped blushing and avoiding eye contact with her

- he did what! you did what! She screamed

- I don't know he's full of surprises and it happened so fast, we had surprisingly good chemistry. I answered smiling remembering that magical moment

- she rested her chin on her palm and kept staring at me smiling

- Nessa you're distracting me, I'm driving. I scolded

-I'm not doing anything. she said pausing for two seconds, did you guys kiss? she grinned again

- What! No! I yelled

-In two miles turn right. Screamed the GPS

-well you seemed to hit it off real quick.

-come on I just got out of a toxic relationship, the last thing I want is someone to get attached to me and get nothing in return, my heart is wounded nessa why can't you understand that, besides good things are worth to wait for and I know nothing about him, I'm gonna take things slow.

-turn right then make a u-turn.

-why not have some fun in the process, who said anything about relationships.

I glared at her in the rearview mirror - absolutely not. I shrugged, if anything I have principles, and playing with someone's feelings is far from being one of them

You arrived to your destination

We arrived in a huge building to whom the entrance seemed tiny but the inside of it seemed huge like a cave of some sort metaphorically of course

I parked next to it and turned off the engine

-so where's Zac? As soon as I asked, she went out of the car, where are you going?!

- Come on we're getting in. She said opening the door  and held my hand pulling me out of the car

-Vanessa. I yelled

She dragged me into the building, the place got wider the more we got in it, there were circled stairs seemingly made of iron and they went way up (damn this is a work out) I started feeling dizzy I was drowned with all the mixed up emotions and tire having had bad night sleep, I felt like I was going to faint

We reached the last step to be greeted with a big sign with my face on it and written next to it, "Shakira's magical kingdom: this is where dreams come true",  she chose the best picture of me, my skin looked perfect and glowy, my hair looked so curly and shiny, where did she even get that picture from, I had so many questions, but all I let out was a gasp and stood there staring at the board then back at Nessa, her eyes were glowing and she was staring at me with a huge smile, I finally got to break the silence

-Nessa what is this? What did you do?

-it's yours shak. She yelled, your own music recording studio, see this is where dreams come true. She added pointing to the sign with both hands, it's written right there

She grabbed my hand and dragged me in opening the door and closing it behind her, it was breathtaking, she took care of every tiny little detail, all the things I like, the walls were painted in blue my favorite color, picture frames of me and her quotes that inspire me, a picture of my first school audition and so on and so forth, everything was perfect, better than I would ever envision it

-I don't know what to say, I'm mind blown, am I trapped in a dream? is this a joke of some sort I... I started rambling

-believe me, honey! it's everything but a joke. She interrupted, my father, invested in it actually, I pulled up some strings here and there along with some charity work, Zack and I did the decorations then gave it its last touches and all you have to do is sign some papers and it's all yours. She added giving me a board with papers in it and a pen on top

-how long have you been planning all this, you've kept all this behind my back? I can't believe you. I laughed

- wait! that's not all, I'm not done yet. She grinned

-of course, you're not. I sighted (she's way too full of surprises for it to be all) I thought to myself

She clapped and suddenly the light in the isolated booth turned on  and then heard zack's voice singing one of high school musical themes, she then rushed in and joined him on it and they both sang a duet, they killed it, they were so good (does this mean) that's when it hit me, I covered my mouth out of shock, I couldn't believe it, happy tears were  rolling down, I was so overwhelmingly happy for her

They hit the last note and she rushed out to me all excited, I pulled her into a hug - oh my god congratulations. I yelled I'm so happy for you!

unstoppable tears were falling down my cheeks

Zack left the booth and joined in on us

-I'm so proud of you Nessa. I sheered pulling away

-aren't you proud of me too goat lady. He mocked

-I'm proud of both of you alien-freak. I said hugging him too, I can't believe it, this is huge! and too much to process, to be honest. I confessed wiping some tears in a way not to ruin my make up

-I know right. She giggled, let's say it's a welcoming gift for our new improvised independent life

-we have to celebrate. I screamed

-yes we do and I know the best place to do that!. She said with that annoying grin again, I immediately knew she was talking about Gerard's party

-No not there. I refused

-Gerard's graduation party. She interrupted

-wait who's Gérard? and you got invited to a party the first day of college, I'm confused

-Gerard is Shakira's new lover-boy. She grinned

-No he's not!

-of course, you can't miss an entrance can you goat lady?

-well I can't help it if my good looks and charm take the lead.

-try brains, it can help sometimes. he mocked

-how do you know, have you tried them?

She giggled - can you guys not be on each other's throats once in your life?!

-all I'm saying is you need the experience to be giving advice. I added smoothly

-yeah exactly, is that what you're doing right now? He asked in an ironic tone

I rolled my eyes knowing that if I continue we would be doing that all-day

-alright can we go now?

-YAS

We hopped into my car, as I was driving, Zack sat in the back seat and kept criticizing my driving skills and begging me not to kill them

-oh you're just jealous, you need to learn how to use your feet before judging how I use wheels.

He repeated what I said with a mocking accent - you think you're very smart huh goat lady? with that little accent of yours, you can't fool me

I glared at him in the rearview mirror - now you're making fun of my accent! that's it I'm pulling over! I yelled wiggling the steering wheel in all directions still in control of the vehicle but causing some stress here and there and cars started honking from around me and both Nessa and Zack started screaming terrified that I would get us killed we were on the high road...
