Chapter 4: Home Sweet Home
As they road down the road Sam was looking out of the window watching as trees and people passed by. They had been in the coach around fifteen minutes and Jack was getting bored. They had left the hustle and bustle of the town centre immediately after their meeting with Mr Philips feeling they should probably get settled in before they take a proper look around town.
"Are we there yet?" Jack asked for the fifth time pulling Sam out of her thoughts.
"Jack if we where there we would be getting out of the coach." She said looking at him. She was again trying her best not to laugh at his childish behaviour when the coach stopped. Sam looked out of the window and Jack did the same.
Out side was a stunning white house with front porch. It was surrounded be grassland and trees and seemed so serene and peaceful. The coach door opened and Cris helped Sam out. She stood there in wonder not able to speak. Jack followed her out and looked up at the glorious building in front of him. "Wow, that's our place?" He asked pointingly.
"Yes all yours." He walked up to the door and unlocked it for them. Neither of whom had moved. He laughed "Well I can tell you it's more impressive from the inside." At that they both snapped out of their daze and walked in to the house both men letting Sam in first. In her opinion Cris had been right it was more impressive from the inside.
As they walked in the door they found themselves in the hall, a table was stood next to the door and a couple of coat hooks stood opposite on the white walls. Halfway down the hall was a door leading into the study. It was light blue with a desk, filing cabinet and a couple of shelves full of books. Across from the study was the living room which was a light green colour it had a settee and a couple of chairs in front of the gorgeous stone fireplace with a few potted plants around to add to the serenity of the house.
A door lead from the living room to the dining room which had a large wooden table in the middle and around ten chairs surrounding it. The room itself was red with wooden panelling. There were two doors from here one leading back into the hall and another leading in to the kitchen. The kitchen was painted a light yellow and lead out into the garden where there was a fairly big sized pond. In the kitchen was a wooden workspace in the centre with stools around it. Over on one side of the room where cupboards and drawers and on the other was the stove, sink and another door leading down into the pantry/basement.
Coming out of the kitchen back into the hall facing the front of the house. Next to the kitchen was a utility room full of baskets and things to wash and dry clothes with and next to that room was a door leading to the stairs.
As they had been walking around each of the rooms, being guided by Cris, they were utterly amazed by the perfection of this house. It was big, well laid out, and beautifully constructed. It had awesome views of the surrounding woodland and even had it's own pond. Cris showed them upstairs and to the first bedroom. It was a fairly big sized room with a king-sized canopy bed. The walls were white with a sky blue borders and a beautiful view to the back of the house. Cris seeing there faces smiled "I'm glad you like it. There are another 3 rooms just like this one and around the same size. There are also two bathrooms and attic space so you have no problem with space." Both Sam and Jack came out of their trance and nodded in agreement.
"This place is amazing. And it's all ours?" Jack asked.
"Yes it is." Tossing him the keys. "Well I guess I better let you two settle in. Have a look around yourselves if you need me I live just down the road." And with that he turned and headed towards the stairs and out of the house.
