Chapter 3: Shopping

We piled into the car, because it was only 1630 and we had a while to waste. I drove up to IKEA first. On the drive there we discussed what we wanted to get on this trip shopping. "Well, I want to do my room in red and white, because I want it to be themed with Ohio State. That's where I want to go to college if you want to start saving by the way." Carmendy said, the last part jokingly.

I pressed on the gas pedal and the car and The car came to an abrupt halt and then we heard honking behind us, because we were on a highway, so we started going again. "Did you say Ohio State?" I asked.

"Yes, and what is your problem with stopping short today? One day this seatbelt is going to break." she replied.

"That's where I went to college! I was on their varsity basketball team! Told you my kids would have good taste someday Zee!" I said in shock.

"Well I owe you." Ziva said laughing.

"No way! That's so cool!" Carmendy exclaimed! "I have to tell Brayden!"

Again the car stopped short. "Who's Brayden?" Ziva and I cried out at the same time.

"Jeez, Brayden, he's my best friend from Baltimore. We planned on going to Ohio together." She replied.

"I need to meet this Brayden of yours." I replied turning up the radio.

The song Scream and Shout was on so we all started singing and laughing to the radio and whatever was on at the moment and before we knew it we were there.

I got out of the car and we headed in the doors. We started our walk around the pathway looking for anything that we could put into my bedroom. It was endless hours of shopping. After 20 minutes, it felt like 20 hours, and I hated shopping.

After 3 hours, we finally walked out with a white bed frame, a white loveseat for Carmendy's room in the little corner area, a closet organizer for her clothes, and a white desk with a red chair. We stuck all of the parts in the trunk and backseat of the car and headed for home.

On the way back, I stopped at a target. We all got out again even though it was 19:30. Once we got in we started shopping around for any extra things to go with Carmendy's room. We ended up getting a red, satin Ohio State comforter set, a red and white lamp, a bunch of red desk accessories, and a flat screen TV. I also snuck the movie Skyfall into the cart.

When we finally got home it was 2100 and we decided to leave everything in the car and move it tomorrow, so we went over to my apartment, well soon to be old apartment and popped in the movie and called for a pizza.

After about 20 minutes the pizza got here, and it was gone within about half the time. We feasted on popcorn and pop while we watched Skyfall all crammed onto the couch. By the time the movie was over, we were all asleep on the couch after the long day of lots of discoveries.

I heard someone trip and fall and within minutes I noticed that Ziva had her gun trained on Carmendy. Eventually she noticed it was her and lowered it. We all got up and decided to get an early start on moving. I had called a company yesterday and they were coming at 0700, so we had to start packing up boxes. I started with the furnature with Ziva, and had Carmendy stuff my movies into laundry baskets, since I had no boxes, not really planning to move at the moment.

Once everything was loaded into the truck, we drove away from the apartment. We got to the house in 10 minutes, and walked in. The movers arrived a little less than 2 minutes later than us, and we started unpacking the car since we still had the furniture boxes in them.

When everything was out of the truck and in the right spots in the house, all that was left was the boxes and Carmendy's room furniture. I pulled a credit card that had some of the money of Carmendy's and handed it to Ziva. "Go shopping for clothes with her please, I have to put together her room and she only has the outfit that she got last night. This is hers and it has over 3,000 dollars on it for clothes."

They walked out the door, and I went up to Carmendy's room. I looked at the boxes and started to get to work. I started by putting the bed together, then I put up the desk, the TV and the couch. Finally I ended with decals.

After I looked back at 5 hours of hard work, I looked at the top of the bed, and it looked empty. I walked down to my car, where I had my old jersey in a shadow box. I put it up over the bed. I took a step back and looked at it. It looked pretty great for 6 hours.

When Carmendy got home, she walked up to her bedroom with her bags. I looked over at Ziva. "I'm not so sure I can be a father to her. What if I turn out like my dad. I don't know what to do." I said as she put her finger up to my mouth.

"We can talk about this later." She told me.

"Toight?" I asked.

" Sorry, I'm going to the bar with Sean." Ziva said.

"Oh, we can talk tomorrow then." I replied, disappointed.

"Thank you daddy. I love it!" I heard coming from the stairs.

Carmendy ran up and gave me a hug and I noticed Ziva smile. I thought to myself that we could make a great family.

That night, it was pouring rain, and when I say pouring, I mean it was like a hurricane was coming to the coast of Virginia. Carmendy and I were around the TV watching Indiana Jones, which I was surprised she had never seen before, when we heard a knocking on the door. I got up to go get the door and Carmendy followed closely behind him. When we opened it, we saw what we least expected, a soaking wet, crying Ziva.
