Inevitable

Chapter 5

A/N: The house I pictured is kind of like this one. But it has a iron fence, ivy growing on it and a seprate underground living area.

We pull into the cobblestone drive way. It had a big yard. Not humongous but it was just right.  The house was white with tan accents. It looked to be two stories tall. The house or flat I should call it now, was older but not ancient. It was very rustic looking. The fence was faded copper and it was twisted. Something you might see in fantasy movies. We walked towards the house, I was staring at the ivy, it was lush and green, I followed the thick dark stems up to the roof, I almost look like it was crawling. It was kind of eerie.  I have always wanted a house with ivy. It made the flat look almost witch like. I was in love.

"Are we going to be living in a haunted house?" Jess asked nervously

"No you dingbat."  My dad says annoyed.

My mom and I chuckle at them.

"Come on, let's show them around." My mom motioned for him.

We walked through the double doors. They were wide and dark oak.  When we first walked in it smelled a little musky mixed with cinnamon. I looked to my left and rolled my eyes at the scentsey on the entry table.

" What!? It didn't smell like home in here, I thought it might help you girls get more comfortable" She explained pouting a little.

She must've caught me rolling my eyes. whoops.

She leads us through the hall way and to the kitchen. Which was the exact opposite of the outside. Granite counter tops, dark wood, and stainless steel appliances fill the area.

"Damn.." I gasp.

" You like it?" My dad grins

"No. We hate it." Jess says sarcastically

He glares at her, giving her daggers.

"Alright, alright, go check out the next floors. You have to go outside to get to your guys' room though."

We look at her like she's on crack. "Huh?" we both ask.

"Your room is like a separate house without a kitchen. It has a living room, a bathroom and one huge room. you will have to walk 4 feet to come inside and eat." she winks

"Oh,its not that far!" I exclaimed happy that its not far for food.

Jess turns towards me, "Rhenn.. seriously, you'd think you were starved as a child."

I punch her arm "Shut up."

As soon as we check out the upper levels, my mom scoots us out of the door. She leaves us to check out our new space.

We close the door behind us and walk down the stairs. There is another door, we use the key my mom gave us and open it.

"Damn, bachelorette life here we come!"

I look around stunned. There Is furniture already filling the space. A deep grape colored couch and love seat sit in the middle of the room. The color really accents the brown and cream walls. One wall was striped dark brown and cream. The stripes were big, making the room look more interesting, there were built in book cases on either side of a flat screen T.V. there was even a mini fridge! Vintage decorations were everywhere. There were also pictures of my family and everyone scattered around the room.

"Lets go look at the other room? Maybe its all ready to go also." Jess suggests.

I nod. Guessing the next room was a bedroom.

We make our way to the  next door to our right and open it. It was bigger than I expected. The walls were a dark, deep, royal blue, and cream. One was blue, two cream, and one striped like the living room. I loved it. Our queen sized beds fit very easily in this room. They were on opposite ends so we could have some privacy. There was two small closets by our beds and one walk in closet across the room. Our room was filled with a London theme along with old pictures of pin up girls, and new pictures of when Jess and I modeled as such.

It was literally my dream room. We hurried up the stairs and in to the house.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!" We yelled and hugged them both.

"Yeah, Yeah, you're welcome." My dad struggled. We were obviously squeezing to tight.

"Now go get some boxes from the garage, We have most of your things here. Just waiting on a couple more you shipped out yesterday." my mom told us.

"Its a good thing they aren't that important." I said.

Jess and I walked to get our things.

"Do you think we will find love here, Jess?"

"Oh here we go again. But, maybe, or maybe we will end up staying single, who knows. Anything could happen in three years."

"I guess that's true. What about Xander? You were pretty girly around him." I joked nudging her side with my elbow.

"I was not! and I dunno maybe he will have my babies." she said waggling her eyebrows.

"I highly doubt that. He gave off the gay vibe to me."

She thought for a minute "I can see that now that you mention it."

"Speaking of the devil, have you heard from him?"

Right on queue she got a text

From: Xander

Hello, Jess and Rhennie, I thought  I would text you and ask how moving in is. I assumed you two would be together and that you would be finishing unpacking. Text me whenever you are free!

xoxo- Xander 

"Well isn't he the charmer?" I said.

"Shut up."

"What if he is like one of those guys that steals girls like us and tries to sell us on the black market as sex slaves."

She stares at me like I've lost my mind.

"You watch way to many scary movies, creep."

"I know, but we don't know him very well" I say laughing at her expression.

"Maybe that's why we get to know him." Says the fearless girl.
