Infinite Love

Break Already?

It seemed as if Iris just got in school, and fall came flying around the corner because she was on fall break. Then two weeks from now she would be on Thanksgiving Break. I called the Realtor to see if there was an open house. The house was an elegant place with a basketball court and a swimming pool. The bad part, it's not gated. That would be great for us all, especially Iris. "I called Brian." I told Zayn. "Why?" He was upset. "Calm down, because I had a terrible dream. And i'm not sure how crazy he is." I explained. "So, what did you say?" He asked me. "We are all going out to eat tonight." I told. "Who is all?" He said. "Iris, him, his wife, you, and me." I said walking into the bathroom. "Iris, where is your packet?" I asked her. She was playing in my makeup. She was putting lipstick on. "That's my favorite MAC, please put that down." She put the top on it and set it on the counter. "Thanks." She ran out of the bathroom to show Zayn. "Oh, Zayn. The Realtor said there was an open house." He jumped up. "Yes. When did she say we can look at it?" I grabbed a wipe. "Anytime after 11 before 5." I wiped Iris's face off. "My name is Del, and I shall be called Del." She said waving her finger around. "Okay then." I was done and all the makeup was off.

Iris sat down and started her homework packet. "Daddy, what's 5 plus 3?" She asked him from her table. "Hold up five fingers. Then put three more up." He told her and she wrote it down. "Come over here." He said. "Let me see." He took the paper and he checked it. "One page down, two to go. Do you want to do the rest later?" He asked her. "Yea." He turned the packet back to the first page and laid it down. "Iri- Del, do want some strawberries?" She walked over and grabbed two strawberries and fed one to Zayn. I finished stuffing my face and sat down on the couch with them. "Harry called." Zayn said. "Was it for me?" Iris asked. "Yes, but you were sleep so I told him you'd call back later." She grabbed the phone and dialed a random number. "That's not it." He scrolled through his contacts and found Harry and called him. "Oh, you gotta call Ash." I said. "Hey, Hazz." She said and walked around throughout the whole conversation. "Okay, i'm done." She gave Zayn's phone back. The movie 'Xbasture' was on and we watched that. It was the perfect movie. "Actually, my name is Raine." She stood on the couch pointing to the ceiling as if Autumn was going to come in flying on Hazel.

"Mommy, is abuelos coming over?" She asked. "Do you want them to?" I asked. "Yea." She said. "That would be good. That way if she doesn't want to come look at the house she can be here." Zayn said. "What house?" Iris asked. "Look, this is what we'll do. Abuelos can come over, we'll go look, then if we like it we'll show you." I said. "Okay. Can I call them?" She asked. "Yea, call off of the house phone." She ran and got it and brought it back for me to dial the number. I went and took my shower. "I'll be ready in twenty minutes." I told Zayn. "Okay." He said finishing his hair. He then sprayed the Ralph Lauren cologne. I put my hoop earrings in. I put just a dab of makeup on. That's funny because as much makeup as I have I only use about a third of it. I had on my grey pencil skirt, white blouse, and heels on. Zayn came behind me and smacked my butt. "Lookin' good." He said. He put his loafers on, fedora, and watch on. "This is what you're wearing to dinner, right." I asked. "Yea." I straightened my hair and the longest piece fell right above my butt. I walked out the room and saw Iris playing on the tablet. "Baby, they'll be here in ten minutes." I opened the patio door and let the breeze come in. I nibbled on some Ritz crackers while we waited. "Tam, snap my watch please." I connected it. "Iris, we will call when we are on the way. We want you to be ready. I'll tell abuelos, too." I said. There was a knock on the door. "Hey, mom." I said. "Where's dad?" I added. "He got called into work." My dad is a doctor at the hospital. "Oh, abuela!" Iris ran up to her. "Zayn, she's here." I yelled. "Mom, can you get Iris ready when we call? Her clothes are already laid out." I asked.

"Yea." She responded. "Hey, Mom." Zayn said coming out of their hug. "How ya been?" He said. "Good, you guys look sharp." Mom said. "Well, we don't want to miss it." I grabbed my purse off the counter and walked out. Zayn followed behind me. We walked down to the garage. "What's the address?" He asked and I answered him. He put it in the GPS and he drove to the house. We were there within twenty minutes. The front yard was beautiful. It had big wide french front doors with rod designs. "This is gorgeous." Marble floors, spiral staircase, huge kitchen, 10 big bedrooms 10.5 bathrooms, luxurious master bedroom and oh, the backyard was nice size. The basement held 4 of the bedrooms, then main floor had the master and a guest. Then lastly, the top floor held the other four. "And how much?" We were stunned by the price, it sole for less than it should have. "You like?" We asked each other. "Yes." We chorused. "When can we buy it?" Zayn asked. "We can meet tomorrow, is that good?" She asked. "That's perfect." Zayn said. "Iris will love this." I said as we walked out.
