Chapter 3: Shopping
Now that we had a house it was time for furniture shopping. Boy would that be interesting.
We got in the car, considering that it was only 1630 and we had a while to waste. We 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." I said.
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?" Tony asked.
"Yes, and what is your problem with stopping short today? One day this seatbelt is going to break." I 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!" He said in shock.
"Well I owe you." Ziva said laughing.
"No way! That's so cool!" I exclaimed! "I have to tell Brayden!"
Again the car stopped short. "Who's Brayden?" Tony and Ziva cried out at the same time.
"Jeez, Brayden, he's my best friend from Baltimore. We planned on going to Ohio together." I replied.
"I need to meet this Brayden of yours." My dad replied turning on 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. 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 and after 20 minutes, Tony was already complaining.
After 3 hours, we walked out with a white bed frame, a white loveseat for my room in the little corner area, a closet organizer for my 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, Tony stopped at what I could only guess by the sign was 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 my 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 noticed Tony sneak 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 dad's 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.
The next morning when I woke up I noticed Tony and Ziva curled around each other on the couch that I had fallen off of during the night. It was 0600 and I was not going back to sleep, so I decided to get up. Well needless to say, the apartment has seen cleaner days, and I tripped over a dumbbell that I was surprised not to have fallen on last night.
After that, everyone was wide awake and Ziva had her gun trained on me. Eventually she noticed it was me and lowered it. We all got up and decided to get an early start on moving. We had called a company yesterday and they were coming at 0700, so we had to start packing up boxes. I started with the movie collection, putting them into a laundry basket, since Tony had no boxes, not really planning to move at the moment.
Once everything was loaded into the truck, we drove away from the apartment. I was holding a goldfish whose name was Kate. 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 my room furniture. Tony pulled a credit card out of his pocket 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."
I left with Ziva to go to the mall. We started in Hollister. I got 8 shirts , 2 pairs of jeans, 5 skirts, and 3 dresses. After Hollister, we went to Aero and got 6 shirts, a sweatshirt, a pair of yoga pants and a skirt. Then we went to lots of other places in the mall and I ended up having 19 shirts,3 pairs of jeans, 16 skirts, 7 dresses, 6 sweatshirts and 4 pairs of yoga pants. Yes, I was very happy with my new closet.
On the way home with Ziva I heard her phone ring. She answered it after the second ring she answered, signaling for me to be quiet. She said hello and I started to listen in on her side of the conversation. All I got from it was that someone asked her if she was able to go out tonight and she said that she was busy. Then she hung up.
"Is that your boyfriend?" I questioned.
"Ya, that Sean, we have been dating for the past 4 months." She replied
"Why can't you go out tonight?" I asked.
"I was going to spend the day with you and Tony." She said.
"You should go. If you really like him you should just go, don't worry, we'll be fine tonight, I can take care of myself if worst comes to worst." I told her.
"OK fine I'll go, but if your dad asks why I'm not staying tonight, you're taking blame." She said laughing.
When I got home, I walked up to my bedroom with the bags. My room looked amazing, better than I thought it would. The walls were already white so Tony put red Ohio State decals on them and then my bed was right in the middle, my couch being in the nook area across from a TV. My closet had the wire organizer in it, and then my desk was in a separate office room. I looked up above my bed and smiled. Tony had put his old basketball jersey in a shadow box. After I saw the room I ran downstairs and gave Tony a hug. "Thank you daddy. I love it!" I said.
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. Me and Tony were around the TV watching Indiana Jones, which my dad was surprised I had never seen when we heard a knocking on the door. Tony got up to go get the door and I followed closely behind him. When we opened it, we saw what we least expected, a soaking wet, crying Ziva.
Well, that's my treat for you guys for being such loyal readers. Please review I would really appreciate it! :)
