Saving Jade

Chapter 10

Once everyone has left, I grab Colton's hand pulling him to me, and kiss him passionately. After a moment of kissing, Colton pulls away,

"If we keep this up, we are going to miss our appointment." He checks his watch, "Actually we need to be going, or we will be late."

"You told my mom where we are going?"

"Yes, how did you know?"

"I overheard her when you two were saying bye."

"Oh, I see. Well let's get going, so you can call her, and tell her all about it."

Fifteen minutes later we are pulling into a long driveway, stopping at a set of large black iron gates. Colton punches a few numbers into the keypad, and the gates swing open. The driveway has two sharp turns, after the second turn the house come into view. I'm staring at a beautiful two story house with large white columns in front, between the columns there is a huge marble staircase leading to a deep brown set of doors. It's the most gorgeous house I have ever seen, I wonder who we are here to see. I look over at Colton, who is staring at me.

"Why are you staring?" I ask.

"Just gauging your reaction, that's all."

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, you'll see."

He smiles, as he helps me out of the car and up the steps. I amazed by the enormity of the house as Colton rings the doorbell. Almost immediately the door opens, and we are met by a kind faced woman, who appears to be in her forties. She seems very happy to see us,

"Mr. Weston, so glad you and your girlfriend are here!" She shakes his hand.

"Miss. Gibbons, I am Kelsey Graham, and I will be showing you a few houses today."

"Very nice to meet you, Ma'am." I shake her hand.

I glance over at Colton who is watching me very closely, and give him a puzzled look. Showing us houses? Mrs. Graham leads us into the house, which I now notice is completely empty. We are standing in a huge circular foyer with three sets of double doors. Mrs. Graham opens the ones to our left first,

"This is the library, built with cherry wood, and enough space for over 5,000 books."

We enter a room lined with shelves built into every wall, in the center of one wall is an oversized bay window with a bench. She leads us out across the foyer, opening another set of doors,

"This is the dining room, it can comfortably fit a twenty foot table."

We make our way through the entire house, which has six bedrooms, seven bathrooms. It has two separate wings, the left wing has three bedrooms with three attached bathrooms. The right wing has two bedrooms and one bathroom. In the center of the wings is the master bedroom and bath, the remaining two bathrooms are on the first floor. We end our tour at the master bedroom,

"Please, take your time. I will be downstairs." Mrs. Graham says as she leaves.

The master bedroom is huge, big enough for a few king sized beds. I notice a set of curtains opposite the door, I walk over and open them revealing a balcony. Colton opens the door to the balcony, we walk out. We are overlooking the ocean, and a beautiful backyard that stretches out to the beach. There is a big stone patio in the center that could accommodate a large party of people. Colton walks up behind me putting his arms around my waist.

"What do you think?"

"I am in shock."

"Good shock or bad shock?"
