"Here are the keys, and welcome to your new home," the real estate lady in front of us said.
We were on the porch in front of our new house, and it looked gorgeous.
It was two stories, and was very spacious.
We stood there, hand in hand, un able to believe what we were doing.
"Know, here is a pamphlet of things you need to know about the house. Rats are common in this area, and so are bugs, so you will need to call an exterminator for prevention and in case you do get an infestation. The beach is right behind the house, so make sure you use protectives on the wood, so that the wood won't rot. Everything thing else is in this book." She said handing the book to us.
Me and Eli both went straight forward, followed with us shyly smiling, and then going through it together.
"Is there anything else you guys need to know?" she asked, inching off the porch.
"No, thanks," I said, looking at her plain Jane, but cute shoes.
"Alright. Payment is expected by the end of the month. Remember, 15,000, or your out," she called.
"Yeah, we'll get the money," me and Eli both called over our shoulders.
We giggled again, and then went back to pamphlet.
"Good luck you two, I'm sure the baby will love it here," she said, walking away, but turning to lay her hands on her stomach.
I looked at my stomach, then back to her, smiled, and waved.
We went inside, and sat down in the bare, empty room.
"It's a good thing your parents will help. There no way we could afford furniture on our own," Eli said, looking at me, laying the arm that didn't get stabbed across my shoulders.
"I'm surprised they want to help… after kicking me out and everything, and I didn't think they would help," I said, looking at the ceiling.
The whole place looked beautiful with the bare light hitting the empty room, it looked so clean... so pure…
Which is ironic. People used to think of me that way too.
"When did your parents say they would get here?" he asked, looking over my head to check his watch.
He was struggling though so, I checked my phone.
"They should be here by now… They'll probably be here soon," I replied.
We sat in that room for a while before we heard someone walk in.
Now who helps them selves to walking into a house?
But I realized, we left the door open.
When we got up and they turned the corner, it was just my mom and Glen.
"So this is your new place?" my mom asked, looking around.
"Wanna see it some more?" me and Eli asked. I looked back at him smiled, and he smirked back.
"Of course we do," Glen said putting his arm around my mom, which made me squirm, but I let it go.
I showed her the open kitchen that was right next to us, and then I showed her the big living room. Then I opened a small pair of doors that let to the family room. I showed the other way out, and then introduced her to the foyer. We made our way upstairs.
The up stairs had three rooms. We showed them the master bed room, which had a walk in closet that let to the bathroom. We went back into the hall way, and showed them the room we planned on being the nursery, the soon-to-be guest room, and the bathroom.
After we talked about each one, my parents helped us call the exterminator so we can set up our monthly prevention system.
We agreed that my mom and Glen would have to come down at least once a month, so they'll be coming down later next month, and Eli even worked up the courage to call his parents to tell them where he was, and the situation we were in.
They squealed, the yelled, they even cried.
Not because they were mad.
But because they were proud of him.
Cece agreed that she would do the same as my parents plan to do, except different days then my mom and Glen, but Bullfrog wouldn't be able to because of his work.
We checked in at a hotel so that we could sleep there until our house was made up, and then we went furniture shopping.
