ALY AND I HAVE been finishing packing up for an hour now. Aly looks at her phone, “Bentley and Caleb are on their way.”

She’s smiling at another message she gets. “What’s got you smiling over there?”

“Nothing, Bentley said there better be beer or he’s making us lift the heavy boxes.” Thankfully, I already had stopped to pick up some provisions for the evening. Beer, snacks, and a bottle of champagne for once we get to the new apartment. In my car I have a set of crystal glasses I bought as a housewarming gift.

Twenty minutes later, I hear Caleb’s truck pull in the driveway. They knock on the front door, “Aly Kat, it’s us.” Bentley uses our nickname to call for us.

“It’s open, we’re in the back. Be right there,” Aly yells from the bedroom. We each grab a box, making our way out to the living room. The guys grab the boxes from us.

“Now I can see why you wanted to move, this place doesn’t suit you, Aly. Seven hundred a month is too much for this place. It looks like my grandpa’s basement. Alright, let’s get this shit done.”

She hits him on the arm, “I know, you jerk. Thanks for pointing out the shitiness of this place. Now get loading, you only have an hour before Mike gets here. And I’d rather avoid that.” Clapping his hands, Bentley starts grabbing boxes, loading them in the truck. Between my SUV and Caleb’s truck, everything fits with no problem.

With the music blasting at an ungodly level in my car, I follow Caleb to Bentley and Aly’s house. Mike still wasn’t home when we left, and I was glad. I had a feeling Caleb and Bentley helping us out would not go over well with him.

We pull into the driveway to start unloading. After helping Aly move today, I seriously am considering hiring someone to move all my stuff for me. Caleb jumps out of his truck, “You ladies go upstairs. We’ll unload everything, and you two can unpack the boxes.” I grab everything I bought for the night, and make my way upstairs.

When we open the door, Aly gasps. On the kitchen island there is a huge vase filled with flowers. Running over to them, she inhales the scent, and reads the little card. “They’re from Bentley. No one’s ever bought me flowers, except for you.” I hand her the bag with the champagne and glasses. Now she’s jumping up and down. “More gifts for me? Thanks Kats, you didn’t have to do anything!”

“Of course I did. This is big, Aly. This is your first place on your own. Now open it, so we can dig in!” On top, I had a little cooler bag with chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate covered pretzels that I had made last night.

She opens the cooler and smiles. “My favorite! Thanks, Kats.” She opens the rest, pulling out the bottle of champagne. Good ole’ Asti Spumante.

“Nothing but the best for my bestie.” She laughs.

We never had expensive taste in wine or champagne.
