Title: Forever Endless
Chapter 7: Home Improvement
POV (1st person): Greta von Amburg
Saturday soon arrived and I was filled with excitement. I had been looking at house listings
all week and there were a few that caught my eye that I might be intrested in and wanted to
visit. Even though I had seen Colin all week at work, and we had our lunch's togwther,
I was still excited to see him. For some reason I wanted to look 'nice' for Colin, so
I dressed in a plaid blue/gray skirt and light blue sweater. Its not that I considered house
hunting a date or anything, its just that Colin always seemded to be dress nice when he saw
me. I just wanted to return the favor, I guess.
I heard a knock on my room door and happily opened it.
"Hey Colin." I said cheerily.
"Hi Greta. You like nice." He said. I smiled, I was happy he noticed.
"Let me just go grab my purse..."
"I thought we'd stop off at The Brady Pub. My Aunt Caroline makes the best eggs
and bacon."
"Mmmm...sounds good." I replied. I honestly hadn't had a good meal since I moved into the
hotel, without a kitchen I was forced to order take-out. "Alright, I'm ready to go." And
with that we were on our way to the Brady Pub.
After our Eggs and Bacon (Plus coffee and toast) we went house searching. I'm not sure how
many houses we visited that day, but it was getting dark and I still hadn't seen the one I
wanted. It was around nine o'clock at night when Colin was driving me to one last house to
look at. We arrived at it, and I read the flyer on it.
"Hmmm. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, family room, living room, country kitchen, walk-in
closets, and a spacious backyard." I read off the flyer.
"Sounds nice." Colin remarked as he parked the car.
I noticed he got out of the car and came to my side and opened it for me. Such a gentleman.
As we approached the house, I noticed it had an oak fence surronding the back yard and it
matched the oak trim of the house. It was lovely. I reread the flyer again and I realized
it was on the street right behind Mrs. Horton's house. I was liking the house more and more.
I decided that I wanted to see the inside.
"Colin? Will you please take me to the real estate office?"
"Sure. You like this one, eh?"
"Yeah, I think so."
So we climbed back into his car and drove to the real estate office. When we got there we
met with the agent and I asked her to show us the inside of the house. She was a little
surprised it was so late, but she agreed to it. So we drove back to the oak house.
It was an hour later and I was in love. The house was absouloutely gorgeous. To my happy
surprise the house was completley furnished, all matching the interior of the house. When
I had moved out of my apartment, all my furniture stayed because it wasn't even mine. But
that was okay because now I would have this furniture. The only thing I would buy was a new
bed. I had decided to buy this house. It was perfect for me. I told the real estate agent I
wanted to sign the papers, so I did, and the house was officialy mine. Colin gave me a
congratulatory hug, which I throughly enjoyed. I then asked Colin if he would take to me to
the furniture store before it closed tonight, and he agreed. A few minutes later we were
standing in a warehouse ful of beds and matresses. I noticed an oak frame bed in the
corner of the room, and I dragged Colin over too look at it. I laid down on it.
"Nice. Its like sleeping on feathers." I said as I streched.
"Nothing could feel that soft!" Colin said as he chuckled.
"Oh really. Then come and see for yourself Colin Murphy." I said. Before I knew it
Colin had joined me on the bed. He laid next me, and we both stared at the ceiling.
"Your right. It is nice." He said.
I didn't answer him. I was staring at him. I suddenly realized this was the first time
I had ever laid with a guy in the same bed. I watched him. As he breathed his strong chest
slowly rised and falled. I noticed he had a nice profile, with his facial hair trimmed
neatly on his face. I suddenly knew what I felt scared me. I bolted straight up in the bed
and climbed off.
"Are you okay?" Colin asked as he too got up and put a hand on my shoulder.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I like this bed. I think I'll take it."
"Okay." Colin replied.
We then bought the bed and the sales clerk said it would be delivered the following
morning to my new home. I also bought a few other items for my house, that would be
delivered the same day. When we were finished with all that it was almost midnight.
Colin drove me back to the hotel.
"Hey, are you going to get all your stuff into your new house?"
"Well, its all in storage, so I'll just call them and have them deliver it too,
I guess. I just have to pack my clothes and bare essentials."
"Oh. Well maybe I'll drop by and pay you a visit in your new house."
"I'd like that."
"Well, Goodnight..." Colin said softly.
I noticed his dark brown eyes shimmer in the darkness of the car. I took a chance
and gave him a small peck on the cheek. As I kissed his cheek, he put his hand on
the back of my head, keeping me near his face longer until I fianlly pulled away.
I was surprised it wasn't an akward moment. It actualy felt nice.
"Thank you, Colin, for everything you've done for me." I wispered softly, just inches from
his face.
"No problem. I wanted too." He said with a grin.
"Bye...."
"Bye...talk to you tommorow, Greta...."
I stepped out of the car and watched him drive away. I returned to my
room and thought about my new life that was just beggining, with my
new house, and a new found friendship with Colin Murphy....but was it
just a friendship? What if he thought of me in a different way then I thought
of him...but then again I wasn't even sure how I felt in the first place.
I was one confused princess, as Jack would say.
