--------------- Chapter Seven ---------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was 60ºF in Chicago which made it a wonderful warm day for spring in Chicago. The trees already had leafs and all the snow was gone. Donna and Jackie walked down on of the busiest streets. It was filled with business people going to their job.

They were walking down to their next appointment with the next real-estate agent that would try to convince them on getting the apartment that he had chosen.

"Like I said I didn't saw much. Just a few things here and there and by what I saw you had fun." Donna told Jackie as she kept on walking and looking at the office signs and address numbers trying to figure out were they were suppose to be at in 15 minutes.

"It was good, but I have so many mixed feelings about it all. You know what Donna in a weird crazy way I am glad you saw it, that way I don't have to tell you, it eliminates the uncomfortable feeling of admitting it all." Jackie said with a smile.

"Ha, You're a little selfish don't you think? Sure you got to skip the awkward moment, but the least you could do is have pity on me. I had nightmares just thinking that it all happened in my bed." Donna shivered after finishing the sentence.

"but see Donna its awkward for you not me" Jackie smiled as she looked at her friend in a playful manner.

"Yeah a true friend Jackie, anyway, have you talked to him, I mean after that incident?" Donna asked longing she would say yes.

"No, not really… before we started I was the one talking, but I was just telling him that it wasn't right." Jackie paused for a minute as she thought about it. "Huh, the only thing he told me was how much I wanted him. Once we were done I got nervous and I used the excuse that you might come back, and he just put his pants on and walked out the room." A tear rolled down her cheek. "That's when I realized that he doesn't care for me at all. He just walked out the door like if I wasn't there… He was probably already thinking about how much he regretted it all,… and he must have had regretted it with such shame that he didn't even looked my way." Jackie started to feel tears strolling down her cheeks. This isn't the time to cry. You are moving on and all of this will soon pass. With that thought gathered enough strength to hold any more tears from coming out.

"You know what Jackie… maybe you did something wrong, maybe it happened with out you noticing, which then made him react like that." Jackie smiled as she could tell that her friend was trying to make her feel better.

"Do you think so? It's a shame dough, because I cant think like that anymore. Everything between us is over, my mind is made up I'm moving here pretty soon. He is not worth my efforts to be with him or my tears and specially not my heart. I will find some one better and he will make me the happiest girl alive." Jackie looked out into the street not focusing on anything in particular, but just looking out there.

"I'm amazed, you have truly made him part of your past. I know you will find that person that is going to make you the happiest girl alive aside from me." Donna smiled as she told Jackie.

They stopped as they stood in front of the office.

"Well here we are, another apartment to look at. I hope they show us the right one, the one we want." Jackie said as she looked over at her friend. Donna was hoping that they would show them the right one since she was already tired of looking at so many buildings, tired of going from one side of town to another.

In the window of the building a sign said "Purple Housing." The door seemed to be antique. You could tell that it was pure wood with several engrave designs. The handle seemed like something that came out of a castle. The place looked pretty good. The inside was white with lilac. On the ceiling there was a painting of an angel with a goddess. It was all very elegant. The furniture was very simple so it wouldn't contrast against the elegance of the room. Jackie was very impressed at how the building looked, yet she could not picture her self living in a place that was decorated like that. Maybe when I get old.

"Hello, may I help you?" A small feminine voice said from behind a desk.

"Yes we have an appointment with ummm…" Donna looked at the card "…Max Peterson."

"Oh yes, he was waiting for, I'll let him know that you are here" She told them as she got up and opened a door next to her desk.

A tall masculine guy with a beautiful bright smile came out. "Good morning lady's My name is Max Peterson" He said as he shook each one of their hands. I response Donna and Jackie shook introduced their self's.

"Ok by what we spoke on the phone I found some places that I think you might like. Two of them are in the center of the city and the other two are in a suburb area. Since this city is so large we are going to go the ones in the center first." Max told them as he pointed to the vehicle they would be going on.

"I'm sorry that I guess didn't mention it earlier, but I'm not looking for something in the center of the city." Jackie told Max as they began to take off.

Max told them not to worry about it and proceeded to tell the driver to head on to the house in Oakdale. Max began to tell them about the building they would be going to. He assured them that it was the one they were looking for, but they were both pretty used to it since all of the real-estate agents they had been too had done the same thing.

There was a huge difference from Pointplace and the Chicago. Jackie liked Pointplace better but that was no longer her home. She was forced out of there by an indescribable feelings toward a jerk.

They arrived in a quiet but very beautiful area. You could tell that all of the people that lived there were wealthy. It all just called out Jackie's name. It all seemed like something that came out of one of her dreams.

Max guided them out of the car and on to the yard of the house. He told them that even dough it was a house it was for rent or sale. Then he proceeded to tell them that it was in a first come first serve arrangement. "The house consists of four bed rooms, two bathrooms, a balcony, up to date appliances, and its in a quiet, peaceful, conservative area. Why don't we see it from the inside." Max told them as he pointed to the door.

The house was white with few bricks and several light blue decorations. The garden had some bushes that divided its yard from the neighbors. There was some rose bushes on the left side of the house, but since roses bloom in the summer they had no idea what type of roses were planted there.

"Oh my God Donna this is it! What do you think?" Jackie said as she looked at her friend.

"Its beautiful…" Donna told Jackie in front of Max. She then pulled her aside and continued to talk in a very low tone. "…are you crazy we cant afford this. Just look at the neighborhood it is gorgeous. We haven't even seen the inside."

"Seeing the inside can easily be done. I know we have been friends for a long time and I hope that you will understand why I haven't told you or anyone. I… ummm recently received a letter that said that my father had a untouched bank account that was created for me. When the account was opened he had to sign a contract that stated that he couldn't make any withdraws or changes to the account. I guess he never told me hopping that I will never get the notice. Well anyways I am planning to use a bit of that money to buy or rent the house. What do you think?" Jackie told Donna.

"Well first we have to see how it looks from the inside." Donna said as she pointed toward Max.

Once Max noticed that they wanted to see more of that particular house he continued to walk them towards the door. The first look of the house kept them engrossed.

After they had finished looking at the house they both decided that they wanted that house. Max helped them get ready to do all the paper work. The day was in Jackie's favor, she no longer had to try to get her guts and the right words to tell Donna about her sex experience, but she was also able to find the right house.
