Chapter 7:
Disclaimer: I dont own a thing promise!
Two months had past since Courtney first went into the hospital and met Dr. Drake.
She had talked to Rose a few times since then and yet no family for Jacob.
Thats when she realized a place just a little bit bigger then the loft was needed so he could have his own room at least.
Patrick had gotten use to Jacob being around and all the things he had to do.
As a matter of fact he was trying to potty train Mr. Jacob.
It was just harder then he had ever imagined.
Courtney went and met with the realtor while Jacob was with Patrick at the hospital.
It was go to work with your parents day at day care and since Jacob didn't live with his parents Patrick told Courtney he would take him.
"So what do you think?" the lady asked.
Courtney just looked at it.
It was not what she had in mind or wanted one bit.
This was something for a person just getting started.
It was small and colorful and she didn't like it.
She didn't want something big but not something this small either.
"No." Courtney said politely.
That had been the second house they looked at that day.
The first one was too big for her.
It was like the size of Grey Stone and she defiantly did not want something that big.
"Okay then lets go to the third house." The realtor said as they walked out.
As she followed the realtor to the third house her phone started buzzing.
"Hello?" she said into the cell.
"Hey. Nothing just on my way to the third house. What are you's doing?" Courtney asked Patrick.
"Okay well she said it was on Ramona Boulevard if you want to come look at it with me!" She exclaimed in her flirty voice.
"Okay! See you then!" she said as she flipped it shut.
Ten minutes later and she was getting out of the car.
The house was two stories with a wrap around porch.
It was white with blue shutters.
"Okay Ms. Matthews. This house is part of the new division they are putting in which means these were just built." the realtor said.
Courtney didn't like her very much.
She talked to her like she was stupid.
"Okay." Courtney said politely.
Right before they walked into the house a truck pulled up behind Courtney's.
Her smile grew as she knew who it was.
The realtor was getting aggravated but Courtney didn't care.
After all she was paying her.
"Hey baby!" Patrick yelled as he carried Jacob in his arms to meet up with Courtney.
"Hey!" She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he kissed her.
"I missed you today." he said as she just rolled her eyes.
"You just seen me earlier today!" She exclaimed.
"Yeah well we usually have lunch together and today we didn't and it made me sad that I had to have Robin with me at lunch." he said in a sad face.
"I will make it up to you later." Courtney said with a hint of laughter.
"Works for me! So this is the third house you say?" he questioned her.
Courtney rolled her eyes and nodded yes.
"Well let's get this one done with just incase we have to have a fourth!" Patrick said as she tried hard not to laugh.
"Shall we begin?" the realtor asked Courtney.
"Um yes please." Courtney said as the realtor opened the door.
"She sounds bitchy!" Patrick whisper in her ear as Courtney laughed.
She just nodded her head in agreement.
The walked in and stood in a hallway with steps going up to the right of them and a big opening.
"Okay to the right here as you first walk in is the living room. You have a nice fire place over there and french doors leading to the porch." the lady said pointing to the fire place then the doors.
"So when you want to make hot steamy sex to your boyfriend you can do it by the fire on cold winter nights." Patrick whispered in Courtney's ear as she laughed.
"Stop!" she exclaimed hitting him in the chest.
And then to the left here if you walk in is the dinning room which connects to the kitchen or you could just walked down the hallway and get there." the realtor said.
"Whatever way is quickest to get to Patrick Drake!" He whispered in her ear again as she rolled her eyes.
"Then walking down towards the other opening in the living room you have the bathroom on the right and storage in the left which is where the washer and dryer are." she exclaimed as she cut on the light.
"Okay." Courtney said.
"Here is the kitchen. The porch is connected all the way around. As you can see it has steps incase you wanted to go up or down on the two acre land in which the hose lays on from there." she said as they looked out the french doors.
"Now follow me and I'll show you upstairs." the realtor said as Courtney looked at Patrick and he nodded his head.
"The first door on the left here is the master bedroom with the master bathroom which occupies a shower, a garden tub and two vanity sinks." she exclaimed.
"Cant wait to use that tub!" Patrick whisper in her ear as she shot him a look instead of laughing at him this time.
"You also have a walk in closet as well." she said as Courtney nodded her head.
"Down the hallway first door on the left is a bedroom as well as the second door on the left and the first door on the right. The second door on the right is your second bathroom. It comes with a tub/shower as well as a vanity sink." The realtor said.
Courtney and Patrick looked in the bedrooms and then the bathroom.
She looked up at Patrick who just looked back down at her and smiled.
"We will take it." Patrick said before Courtney could say a word.
"Thats great to hear!" the realtor said excited.
"When can we move in?" Patrick asked her.
"Well I got to process all the paper work and if everything goes according this weekend." The realtor said.
"Great let's get the paper work started shall we!" Patrick said.
"Okay." the realtor said as they walked outside.
"We will be at the office in a moment. I need to talk to Patrick." Courtney said looking at the realtor who nodded her head.
"Patrick!" Courtney exclaimed.
"What!? I thought you liked it! I do!" He exclaimed back at her.
"I do like it but I dont know if us moving in together is the best idea." She exclaimed.
"Why not?" he asked her.
"What happens if we turn sour?" she questioned him.
"We wont turn sour! We will just get sweeter!" He said as she smiled.
"Courtney besides Im always at your loft and you're always at my apartment if Im not! And not only that but your ex husband doesn't like that very much and now I have until the end of the month to get out.!" He exclaimed as Courtney's mouth drop.
"Are you serious?!" She questioned him.
"Yup see!" he said handing her papers of eviction.
"So why dont we go ahead and save us time and money might I add later on and just do it now?" he questioned her.
She looked over at the papers and handed them back.
Courtney let out a deep breath.
"Fine." she said with a smile.
"One condition." he said looking at her.
"Whats that?" she asked him.
"I dont want you to take it the wrong way or anything but I dont want you to have to worry about a thing so Im going to buy the house." he said.
"No." Courtney simply stated.
"Yes." Patrick said back.
"I said no!" She continued on.
"Hold on." He said as he strapped Jacob into the carseat and shut the door.
"Yes!" He shouted back at her.
"No Patrick Drake!" she finished on.
She was getting pissed at Patrick.
"I dont care Courtney!" He replied.
"I do! I dont want anybody to think Im depended on a man!" she finished.
"Who cares! Who pays the bills in our house is our business! Nobody has to know!" He exclaimed.
"Whatever!" She exclaimed giving in.
"Come on! We will ride together." he said grabbing her hand.
"I cant just leave my car here!" She exclaimed looking at her black suv.
"Yes you can it's our hose so lets go!" He said taking the suv keys in his hand and putting the alarm on it.
She grunted and got into his truck with him.
They went into the relators office and sat down.
"Whats wrong?" Patrick asked her.
"You!" she exclaimed.
"What did I do now?" he asked her.
Today was the first day they ever argued.
Not exactly the best way to start off a move in together huh?
"Ready?" the realtor asked them.
"Yes." Patrick responded.
"Okay I processed both of your paper work and you are both eligible for the loan so how do you want to do this?" The realtor asked them.
"I dont want a loan." Patrick said looking at her.
"Put it in my name then." Courtney said following.
"No. I have the money for it in the bank. I dont want to take out a loan. How much do I owe you to pay it all right now?" Patrick asked.
"After everything including taxes and property taxes you are looking at 320,000." she said. (Sorry but where I live thats how much that house would cost!)
"Okay." Patrick said as he pulled out his check book and wrote the check
"Great. You's can start moving in tomorrow if you would like" The realtor said with a smile.
Patrick walked out of the office before Courtney and had everything set up for the water, electricity, phone line, and cable to all be hooked up the next morning.
By this point Courtney was beyond pissed at him.
"Whats wrong?" Patrick asked her.
"You!" She exclaimed with Jacob in her hands as they walked to the truck.
He opened the door.
"Buckle up Jacob!" Patrick said as he let the little boy in and then shut the door.
He didn't want to argue in front of him with Courtney.
"Okay why did I make you mad this time?" He asked her.
"Because! You paid for it straight out and I dont want you to use all the money you have in the bank on the house when I can pay for it!" She said.
"Look at the house being brought straight out as a wedding present from my mom." he said nodding his head.
"We arent married let alone engaged!" Courtney exclaimed.
"We can change that right now if you would like?" Patrick said with a smile on his face and with those dimples showing it made her do the same.
"No! Now explain to me how this would be a wedding present from your mom?" She asked him.
"Im my parents only kid. Well my mom's anyway who knows about my dad!" he began as she smiled.
"When my mother died everything got left to me including her life insurance policy. I have used some of the money for my college education because I know thats what my mom would have wanted and with whats left of it I promised myself I wouldnt use until I was ready to have a family and now Im ready." he said as her eyes began to water.
"Okay." she said nodding her head as she realized maybe she was in love all over again.
"I love you Courtney." he said throwing her off guard.
She did the first thing her heart told her too.
"I love you too!" She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and he kissed her.
