April.

"This is large flat property. It can be built on?" "Yes It can" I grinned "I will take it" "that was a very quick decision" "I have plans for this property and I plan to get the build on the way as soon as possible" "I don't mean to intrude but what are you planning to build?" "A resort for parents and children on the spectrum" "oh wow that would be fantastic" "I hope so".
"Will you be buying it out right or going through the bank" "no I will be buying it out right" "that is a two million dollar property" "I am well aware" "alright how quick would you like to own it?" "Yesterday. have there been any other offers?" "No" "good news. Well if you have the time I will come to the office now" "I do. Do you know where to go?" "Yes I do. I will see you very soon" "thanks April" I nodded.

"April where are you?" "Is there a problem matt?" "No but you said you would be in. I'm just making sure you are alright" "I appreciate the concern. I will hopefully be there within the next two hours. I was looking at a property for the resort" "was it good?" "Perfect. I am heading to the office now to sign the paperwork and put in a transfer" "that's quick" "stealing it before someone else does" "where is the property?" "Bennett road" "not too far from your place" "that's right. Easier for me" matt laughed "she is getting lazy" "far from it, I haven't stopped since I felt better" "you will have to fill me in" "I will. Oh I have to go. I have just pulled up out the front of the real estate" "alright talk soon" "bye".

"April follow me" following the agent into a private office we sat down.
"Three thousand and one Bennett road for the amount of one million nine hundred and sixty nine thousand dollars" "that's correct. How quick is the closing?" "Thirty days from payment" "alright well I want to pay that today" "I will contact the owner now" I nodded.

"Hi its Amira west.. I have a buyer for the property for the full amount of one million nine hundred and sixty nine dollars.. no, full offer no banks..yes..April maltri.." Amira looked at me with a grin "sure".
Amira handed the phone to me.
"Hi April maltri speaking" "well a blast from the past April. it's Stan" "holy crap. definitely a blast from the past. How have you been?" "Good. You are interested in the property?" "More than" "put the payment through and it's yours but I want to catch up with you" "definitely I will get Amira to give you my details" "you do that" I chuckled "I will put Amira back on. Bye Stan" "bye".
"Hi.. sure.. no worries thank you. Have a good day. Thanks you too bye".
"You know the owner?" "Very much so. although it's been quite some time since I have seen him. I believe I need you to pass on my details" "they will be in the contract anyway" I nodded.
"Okay how would you like to process the payment?" "full cash transfer" "not a problem, I will get the paperwork for you now" "thank you".

Reading over all the paperwork I signed my name and put my details in then handed it to Amira.
"I will process the payment now" I nodded.
Processing the payment amira printed out a receipt and I put it in my copy.
"The property will be yours in thirty days" I grinned "news I like to hear" "I will pass on your details to the owner and I'm sure he will be in contact" "thanks Amira have a good day" "and you too".

"April" "dad you wouldn't believe who I just purchased the property off" "come on tell me" "Stan" "oh how is that man?" "Sounds great he is going to contact me to catch-up" "I would love to be there" "of course. Just thought I'd let you know" "are you heading back to the office?" "I am. I need to have a chat with Matt" "alright I will talk to you later" "you will bye dad" "bye".

"Hey April" "hey can you pass me the microphone and turn the music off" "sure".
"Sorry for the distruption everyone. Can Matthew Davis please come to the office. Your parents are here to take you back to school. Thanks everyone"
Brit started laughing "he is going to kill you" "ehh I'm sure I will live. Looks like it's been a busy day" "it has" I nodded.

"Seriously April" I chuckled "come on school boy let's go have a chat" matt shook his head with a grin "sure let's go".

Entering the office I locked the door and took a seat. "locking me in?" "Yep. Nah just everyone seems to walk in unannounced. Today I purchased the land for the resort" matt grinned "that was quick" "it was. it's a good size property and all flat too so it works out well. Now I called you here to ask a very important question" "okay .." I smirked "much to do today?" "That's not important" "I'm getting there" "nothing someone else can't do" "good so you can accompany me to christians then?" Matt laughed "now that's important. Yep sure can" "good let's wrap this up and get out of here, I need to celebrate" "and what am I telling them?" "Nothing. You are stepping out with me. You have no idea where we are going. Not their business anyway" "alright so we heading back to yours, then catching a cab?" "yep" "let's do this".
Packing up my things, matt left the office.
Grabbing my laptop, I put it in the bag and walked out.
"Come on. I have somewhere to be" "alright I'm coming" "need anything just call me Brit. actually call matt" "sure thing. Bye" "bye".
Walking out matt grinned "see you when I'm looking at you".

"Well look who it is" "here to celebrate so rack em up" "have you ate?" "Yep" "yes" "done".
"So what are you two celebrating?" "The purchase of land for my resort" "resort?" "Yep. Come on I haven't got all day" christian laughed "nah half of it's gone but I'm sure the rest will be spent here" "that's possible".

Brenton.

Argh I have tried calling and messaging April but she hasn't answered. I have gone to her estate. Hers and matt's car is there but Gerald said they left in a cab.
Heading to her work, I parked the car and got out.
"Brenton" "Brit and Lucas have you seen April?" "She went somewhere with Matt. All we were told was it is important. They haven't been back since" "and when was that?" "About three hours ago. I doubt they will come back tonight" I nodded "alright did she have any plans?" "Not that I know of. She doesn't tell us anything unless she wants us to know" "she did purchase the property this morning" "purchased it?" "Yes" I grinned shaking my head "she works fast" "and always gets the job done" "I know. Alright thanks" "maybe try call her" "I have" "have you got matt's number?" "No" "here" Brit wrote down matt's number and handed it to me "thanks have a good night" "you too".

"Hello Matt Davis speaking" "matt it's Brenton, are you with April?" "We sure are together" I grinned "you two are at the pub?" "It's important" I laughed "I will be there soon" "if you say so bye now".
I couldn't help but laugh as I hung up the phone.

"Oh look richy rich is here" "ay without his suit" oh these two are a barrel of laughs "what is so important here?" "This" April held up her drink, making me shake my head "how long have you two been drinking?" "They have been here for nearly four hours" "shit I thought it was only an hour" April laughed at matt.
"Christian I will have A beer thanks" "weak" "oh you two are on fire" "is that why my ass is burning I thought it was from the curry" I couldn't help but laugh at matt.
"Didn't want to tell the others?" "They are working" "aren't you supposed to be too?" "No he is not. This is an important matter and I need my right hand man with me" "important?" "Yes we are celebrating" "okay and what are we celebrating?" "The closure of the land" I grinned "oh and I know the previous owner. Good man that one. Definitely one that likes to drink as well" the guys laughed. I like this side of her she is just so care free and looks really happy. "Better be inviting me for drinks" "maybe I don't know how much I like you" "heaps" "hmm yeah I suppose I do. Christian can I put some tunes on" "go nuts. Suppose you want it loud" "very".
