Bella: The Great Talc (Part 3)

A phone call rang in Laila's apartment. She walked over to the phone and picked up.
"Hallo."
Ivo.
"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have a problem. Can you come to me to rescue me?"
"What happened?"
"My parents left for the holidays and left me to look after my brother, but I went to the party. My brother called his friends to party in home and now the house looks like a big mess, and now I have to deal with it before my parents show up."
"And why don't you tell your brother to do that?"
"Because that tiny baby is nowhere to be found. I called her for the sixth time. He said he didn't know where he was and there was absolutely no one clear answer from hi.
Besides, I'm already guilty - I was instructed to look after my brother ... "
"And now you need your friends to clean the house?"
"Exactly."
"Will we have something about it?"
"Lunch. Pizza."
"Huh ... I was thinking of spending a different Saturday, but well ... I'll call the other Musketeers."

Laila dialed the Girth number. She knew by experience that calling her friends should start with Girts, because he would definitely start to squeak and try to stumble. After that she had to call Bella, because of course she needed some time to put on her clothes, makeup and hair - there was no problem with the other friends - it was enough to say they needed help when they were leaving the house.
"Hi, Girt, Ivo just called. We have to come and rescue him."
"It's Saturday morning. What's the rescue?"
"Ivo was tasked with looking after his little brother while hi go to some party but he brother meanwhile organized a big party at his house and made a big mess, and now no one know where hi is. In short, someone needs to clean it all up. "
"Well cool. Sounds like some kind of Amish TV series story."
"They also promised us gratitude."
"Let me guess - pizza?"
"Yes."
"How banal. Is life really so cliché?"
"Yes! And now you stop beeping and move out of the house," Laila said and dropped the call before Girts had any more to say.

Although Ivo was 25 now, he still lived with his parents. When Ivo was 21, his parents said that if he wanted to continue living with them and not pay rent, food or utilities, he would have to either go to college or work in parents business. Ivo chose the first option and went on to study business management. Now he was thinking of turning theory into practice and starting his own business, so he did one market research after another trying to figure out what he was doing. Many could not understand why his parents had set such an ultimatum at one time, but it seemed to him quite normal.
Ivo came from a wealthy family, but his parents were not among those who would love to draw and post their finances, so Ivo thought for a long time that they belonged to the middle class. Only in high schoo he find out how rich his parents really were. However, this discovery did not change much in his life - Ivo's parents were ascetic and tried to raise both sons as such.

One by one, friends came to Ivo's parents' house. As the last one came Bella, though she was the second Laila had called. Bella take blame to the public transport and the time-consuming road from Purvciems to Marupe. Ivo greeted everyone with a slightly guilty expression.
"So, here is a battlefield to clean," he said.
The living room floor was littered with empty chips packs and pizza boxes, Coca-Cola cans and like that. The battery of empty beer bottles showed that: a) a large number of people who drank little or; b) this was a party of theirs where a LOT was drunk. Friends could only guess which of the options was true. But at least there were no broken windows, or damaged furniture.
When everyone had come, Gvido interrupted unexpectedly.
"Listen, but why did you call us instead of calling a cleaning service?"
Suddenly, everyone left midway and turned to Ivo.
"I ... I ... I just didn't think that!"
"Well cool!" Girts exclaimed.
"Mouth shut!" Laila called him. "If you want your friends to do something for you, sometimes you have to do something for them as well!"
"I don't know what's upstairs. Who could look at?" Ivo say.
"I'm applying!" Bella exclaimed. The next moment she was already roaring up the stairs with a trash bag in her hands.
After moment Bella say, all done.
"Everything?" Ivo asked incredulously. "Bathrooms? Bedrooms?"
"Yes, there was no particular disorder. Well, what's up here?"
"We're done!"
"Then that means ... pizza!"
"Okay, I'll call. Chili's Pizza or Lulu?"
"Lulu!" everyone cried unanimously.
"Wait ... did you mean one pizza for everyone or for everyone?" Alice asked.
"Each one's own," Ivo replied.
Gvido say catch your phone and.
"Call!"
"If you think about it, starting Saturday morning with house cleaning wasn't as crazy as I thought," Girts said.
