June Apricot.
*************

"You're still here?" I said as I knocked on the door of room 246 and the breathtaking guy opened again.

"Till Friday, Yeah....So I guess I'll be seeing you everyday" he said and I shrugged as I pushed my stuffs in....My head went off when I realized the room was twice a mess than yesterday.

"Wow Mister.... You're so clean I'm starting to think you're allergic to cleanliness" I said and I picked up the clothes on the floor and threw them into the laundry basket.

"Blame it on having people do it for me while I was growing up" he said and I rolled my eyes... Dumb excuse.

"I had people do it for me while I was growing up too but that doesn't mean I can't clean" I said and I bit my tongue when I realized I had said too much... June Apricot 1.0 version never had people do it for her...its been six years, that should have sank June!.

"Really...you had maids while you were growing up?" He asked as if I was saying something out of this world...Idiot, I could bet I was richer than him....note WAS.

"No...my parents" I lied and got to work, hoping he wouldn't say anymore word...You don't always get what you hope for... Well, who Cares if the original quote was wish...Ha!.

"Tell me about your parents" he said sitting on the computer chair and I blinked rapidly....the nerve of you stranger man.

"Why would I do that?" I asked sweeping all the rough papers in the huge room.

"Cause I'm interested in knowing... Come on Miss Cleaner, I'm always bored in here.. And I might need it" he said mumbling the last part.

"Need it?...what for?" I asked throwing all the dirts into the trash can and dusting the sofa beside the window... It looked so cozy I wanted to curl into it and sleep off, when I touched it the softness made my fingers twitch...its Been long since I slept on something this soft.

"Hello Miss Cleaner" he said cutting me out of my reverie.

"Yeah?"

"You were gonna tell me about your parents" he said and I tsked.

"You were gonna tell me why you need the story of my life" I said and he laughed... His laughter was deep and interesting to hear.

"To make me have a better out look to life...and well also compare my parents to others... Not like I don't adore my parents though....and be honest please" he said and I rolled my eyes.

"My dad was perfect and amazing... He was this kinda guy you'd always wish for in a husband ....he was my hero... And well my mum is quite the opposite...that's all" I summarized... In all honesty..

"I'm sorry about your dad... And your mum too" he said and I laughed... I had stopped letting my past bother me....there was only one thing in life...in my past...that would never stop hunting me if I remember... That thing, no one else knows except my mum, Ivor and Rosie...

"Not a problem Mister....and the transformer to your rescue one more time...."I said feeling good at the transformation that occurred.

"Thanks a lot Miss Cleaner... I'd anticipate seeing you tomorrow" he said and winked.

"Too bad....tomorrow's my day off....and the name is June...not Miss Cleaner" I said walking out....I had just two rooms more to clean since the others didn't ring for a cleaner....Mr 246 rang all the time....and well,I kinda liked his company... Fine, I really did like his company..

===================
"Hey BFF" Rosie said and hugged me...she was in worn jeans and blue top with huge raybans and a big hat on....A disguise.

"You couldn't cyph paparazzi today?" I asked and she nodded as we hailed a cab.

"360°" she said and I dropped my jaw...360° is this shopping mall where you will totally cry for your bank account.... I had dug into my savings and painstakingly held $1000.....it would only buy two clothes at 360°.

"Ro....let's just go to 24/7....I can't afford 360°....that's murdering my bank account in cold blood." I said and she smiled.

"Whoever said you're buying stuffs for yourself" she said and I shook my head.

"No no no Ro....you don't have to spend your money on me...with all this wedding thing coming up, you must have enough on your plate already" I said and she rolled her eyes.

"The wedding isn't eating into my account.... Did you forget who I'm marrying... His mum had to go all " I'll handle it...just spoil yourself " on me" she said smiling... I knew she was happy.

"Still you don't...." She cut me short.

"Besides I dumped all this maid of honour thing on you....please Jupri, let me do this for you" she said and I agreed... Leaving my pride broken a little and my savings account elated... Its a lose-win situation.... Oh a win for my wardrobe too....Guess its not that bad after all.

We arrived at 360° and luckily got six breathtaking gowns, two jeans and five over beautiful blouses, two swim suits, a bikini, boots and shoes of different types... She spent $5,345 on me...yeah I mentally calculated and I felt so bad and happy at the same time.

"You've done more for me so stop thanking me" she said while I muttered my thank you.

"I'm so hungry... Let's go to our favourite ice cream restaurant downtown" she said and we walked to Ripples Villa.

I ordered Stracciatella while Ro ordered Pistachio.... It was our ritual to always eat this.

"I can't believe Joe is gone... He's like the backbone of this place" Rosie said pouting at the news that the former manager of this place left.....Joe was a cool bud...fun to be with, smart and cheerful.

"Remember the last time we forgot our purses at the same time and ordered extra toppings?" I said and we both entered fits of laughter...I could remember the look on Joe's face....he only allowed us go free until we washed the coffee machine....

"God!...that was my first time washing a coffee machine..... Do you remember the day Ivor...." She said and trailed off.

"You don't have to stop Rosie....Ivor used to be a part of my life....even some of the most interesting ones....I'm not going to cut out those fun memories cause of him" I said and she smiled at me.

"I don't wanna mention him...I'm mad at him, hell June... I hate that bastard...he looked liked he would give you the world in a heartbeat.... He made me wish for your kind of love, he told me personally... He promised Me he would never break your heart" she said and tears dropped from her eyes... I squeezed her hand and gave her the "I'm okay" smile.

"I'm okay.... Really....I'm over it now Rosie" I said but still she shook her head.

"You lost something June...something that no one on earth can ever give back to you....you lost something so precious... I'll never forgive him and your mum" she said....the mention of that thing I lost brought tears to my eyes.... I travelled back to six years and I had to shake my head to stop the tears from falling.

"Tell me about Charlie... And his family...are they uptight or free" I said taking a big bite of my ice cream to calm my nerves.

"You and your topic changing behaviour..... Well no, they are not uptight... They are really awesome" she said smiling.

"How many siblings?" I asked, relieved that Rosie has gotten off the sore topic.

"They are four....Cameron, Kate, Charlie and Royalty" She said and I nodded.

"Are they nice?" I asked and she shrugged...

"Well I've only met Kate and Royalty.... Cameron hasn't been around in six years.... Kate is really cool and I can say we're best friends....." She said and I felt a little jealous that someone else was also her BFF.....just a teeny tiny bit of jealousy..

"Royalty?" I asked and she shook her head, almost laughing.

"We've never talked... Not even a word...just hi and hello....She's the most closed up person I've ever met...too closed up for a six year old....She was adopted but hell, she's soo closed up" she said and I could see that Rosie was sad that she couldn't break down Royalty's walls...she loved kids.

"She'll come around...maybe she's just getting adapted to the environment" I said.

"She was adopted when she was a week old...according to what Charlie told me, her parents were dying so she was given to the Queen for adoption.... The mother didn't even know she was a Queen cause it was one of those days when The queen just disguises and surfs the town" she said and I just nodded.... Maybe she has issues.

"Does she know she was adopted?" I asked and Rosie nodded.

"Yeah, she knew two years ago... And she's been like that since then....Charlie said she fell from her bike and had a head injury.....it was hard to get her match so...they had to tell her since she was curious as to why they couldn't donate....too smart for her age I tell you" she said and I chuckled.... It must be hard knowing the people who are your parents aren't really your parents.

We talked for a long time till she got a call from her wedding planner... She insisted on dropping me off at home before I prepared for my diner shift which starts by four.....

"See you on Saturday... Love you" she said and drove off..... I couldn't help but get nervous.... She'll introduce me to everyone in two days...wow!
