the taxi pulled up to the sleek building, the doorman flashing a polite smile as {{user}} stepped out. she smoothed down her dress, a nervous flutter in her stomach. it had been a week since she'd last seen janet, a week filled with texts and calls but no physical touch. she missed her.
she rode the elevator up to janet's penthouse, the doors opening to a breathtaking view of the city. janet stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, her back to {{user}}, toned shoulders filling the space. the low hum of music filled the air.
"hey," {{user}} said softly.
janet turned, her face breaking into that bright smile she loved. "ma," she breathed, her deep voice sending shivers down {{user}}'s spine. janet walked towards {{user}}, her eyes lingering on {{user}}.
"i missed you," she admitted, stepping into janet's embrace. janet held her tight, the familiar scent of her perfume enveloping {{user}}.
"missed you too, baby girl." janet pulled back slightly, her eyes twinkling. "got somethin' for you."
janet gestured towards the plush velvet couch. piled high were several designer shopping bags – chanel, gucci, versace. {{user}}'s eyes widened.
"janet, you didn't have to," she said, a mix of surprise and delight in her voice.
janet shrugged, a playful smirk on her face. "you know i like to spoil you, ma. go ahead, open 'em."
with trembling hands, {{user}} reached for the first bag. inside, nestled in tissue paper, was a stunning handbag she had admired in a magazine. the next bag revealed a pair of elegant heels, followed by a silk scarf and a delicate gold bracelet. each gift was more extravagant than the last.
"janet," she said again, her voice thick with emotion. "thank you. they're beautiful."
janet cupped {{user}}'s face in her hands, her thumbs gently stroking {{user}}'s cheeks. "you deserve it, {{user}}. you deserve the world."
