Another gift I got for my college graduation was my first house ever. It was from my dad. It was all thanks to him and Peg, my former neighbour, Pete's ex-wife, PJ's mom, my dad's friend and the closest thing I ever had to having a mother figure during my whole life. Despite her not being a real estate agent ever since she divorced Pete and left Spoonerville, Peg still had those amazing real estate skills and she put them to very good use. Because my dad and Sylvia were also moving house too – I'll explain more about that later – Peg helped him and me sell our house that she gave to us and we lived in since we moved to Spoonerville in 1992 and, because we lived there for nearly a decade, she managed to help us get it sold to a nice wealthy family for more half a million dollars. My dad decided to give me half of that money to buy my very first house and he and Sylvia used the other half of the money to buy a house in Big Sky, which Peg helped again with her incredible real estate skills.
The house I could afford was a small house and it had only one floor and it had a small front garden and small back one, but it was very nice and it had everything I needed, including a kitchen, a sitting room, a dining room, two bedrooms and a bathroom and though they were small the gardens looked very beautiful. I was very grateful to my dad and Peg for helping me get it. They all said I earned it. After the day I signed the paperwork and got the key to the house, my dad, Sylvia and I helped me pack my stuff from my old house and put them in my new one. Then, the day after, I drove with them to Big Sky to help them move into their new house. The reason we did this was because the sooner they moved in, the sooner Sylvia could look after her mother, which I was cool about.
My dad and Sylvia were moving to Big Sky because of Sylvia's mother. She was all alone and she needed support and she didn't have her husband who left her and the country for another woman and Sylvia's siblings were busy enough with their own children, so Sylvia felt that she had to move back to Big Sky and look after her and because my dad loved her very much that he was happy to move with her. Before they moved, they looked at houses before they found the perfect house and Peg used her real estate skills to help them get it. And they got jobs there as well. My dad got a job at being a groundskeeper at the Big Sky Golf Course and Sylvia got a job at being a receptionist at a hotel.
When I helped them move to their house, it was the first time I ever saw it. Like mine, it was small but nice and it had everything they needed and their front and back gardens were small but nice and as well. It was a long drive, so we ordered some takeaway pizzas for our dinner and we went early to bed. The next day, we got very busy. We immediately unpacked their stuff, decorated their house and got it ready for living in, which took us about four days. The day after that, after breakfast, I went back to Spoonerville and sort my new house. It was very late when I got back so I decided to have another takeaway pizza for dinner and went early to bed.
The next day, the doorbell on my new house woke me up. After I put my dressing gown on, I answered the door and I was surprised to see who it was – my girlfriend Mona. I welcomed her in. This was her very first time ever to my house and even though there was still a lot to do she still like it and she liked my gardens as well.
After I put my proper clothes on, I made breakfast for Mona and myself, which was some wheat biscuits with milk, buttered toast, bacon and boiled eggs and two cups of tea and we got talking. I told her about my trip to help my dad and Sylvia move to Big Sky and then she told me about what she had been up to. She told me about the job at Spoonerville Hospital and she got down to the last two final interviews and she managed to do so well in her last interview that she got the job. I was very proud of her. And she told me that her parents managed to book me a slot in to join with them and her on their Maldives vacation a week later, which I was very grateful for.
Starting on that day, though I never asked her, Mona helped me get my house sorted out. I don't know why, but I kept thinking she must have liked spending time with me that much and I was very grateful for everything she did. She helped me do everything, including decorating it and unpacking my boxes. She even did some work in my small gardens, including weeding and hedge trimming. She was very good at everything she did and it was helping me get ready to live in my house a lot quicker than if I did on my own. Soon my house was ready for me to live in. And on the day when we finished, I cooked us a meal, which was a roast chicken dinner with plenty of vegetables and a red velvet cake for desert, to celebrate all the good stuff going on, including my new house, my new job at Spoonerville College (which I received a letter from Spoonerville College itself on that day), Mona's new job and our upcoming vacation in the Maldives.
And every night after all our very hard work, we had sex with each other, which we found very rewarding.
