Chapter 3: The House
We ran to the house we were viewing in just under 15 minutes. When we got there we were all out of breath and tired out, apart from Jamie, who played a lot of sport.
We walked up to the front door, where a man was standing with look on his face that said "I am better that all of you! I rank higher that you in life!"
"Sorry we're late!" I said, breaking the awkward silence. He glared at me, then turned to Jack and said in a slow, dull voice "Are you Jack Symonds?"
"Yup!" Jack replied. "That's me."
"All of you, follow me." The man grumbled, shuffling into the house.
It only took an hour to look round the whole house and explore every part of it. We all agreed that it would be perfect! There were five bed rooms, three bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a dining room. Also at the back of the house was a large, empty room, perfect for my job as an artist; it was to become my studio! We all left the house pleased with our day and we walked down to the hotel that we would be staying at tonight ready to drive back to Bakersfield tomorrow.
The next day!
I woke early, about six o'clock and lay in bed for about half an hour, check twitter, YouTube and tumblr. I decided that I would go for a little walk to stretch my legs and look around the area. I got out of bed a got dressed into my favourite red jeans and blue t-shirt. Then I found a bit of paper and a pen and scribbled a note to Jack telling him where I had gone.
I opened the hotel door and stepped out into the hallway and walked over to the elevator. As I pushed the button to go down I was daydreaming, as usual. My daydreams usually consist of random thought buzzing through my head; today the thoughts were:
New house, OMG LA, and that guy that I bumped into yesterday.
I couldn't of helped but notice that he had been quite good looking! I looked at my watch and decided that it was late enough that he would be awake I pulled out my phone and began to type...
Emi: Hey!
Toby: WASSUP GURL?
Emi: Nothing rly just taking a walk! U?
Toby: I'm at Starbucks! Care to join me?
Emi: Sure I'd love to! I'll be there in 10!
I put my phone back into my pocket and head towards the Starbucks I had been at yesterday; thinking as I walked.
When I arrived at the Starbucks 2 minutes later, I walked in and looked around. I saw Toby sitting at a table on his own scrolling on his iPhone and smiling.
"Hey!" I said brightly, sitting down opposite him on the table.
"Hi!" He grinned. "How are you?"
"I'm great thanks!" I replied. The conversation carried on for about an hour until my phone buzzed in my pocket. It was a text from Jack. I said goodbye to Toby and headed back towards the hotel, smiling to myself as I walked.
A/N Hey! Thanks for the reviews from every one! Also the follows. I would love some suggestions on what anyone think could/should happen next. I have a vague storyline planned out but nothing is set in stone. As well as that constructive criticism is always great as it helps me improve as a writer.
Stay cool and DFTBA,
