The Perfect Summer

Chapter 9: Settling Down

Hazel's Pov -

I gave the Taxi driver the address to the Vacation House.

We arrived at the house in just 5 minutes.

We got out of the car and took all of our heavy luggage out.

I gave the cab driver a $10.00 tip and he drove off.

I checked my phone, it was 7:15.

The house was a good size, it had a one car garage, it had a small white fence. Not much to it from the front, just a few bushes and roses.

The best part of the house was the view.

It was on a talk hill and looked over houses and the beach.

We got into the front porch and I put the key into the slot to unlock.

I pushed the door open, before any of us walked in.

The house was alone for the past 13 years.

We walked in and we left our luggage Inside the house by the door.

We walked around the house.

It was nice but it smelled bad, and It was dusty everywhere we went.

The kitchen needed new appliances and we needed new furniture.. Badly.

My mom didn't tell me that it would be this bad..

Bailey then spoke

"This house is cute. But we should really get to cleaning up."

Sam said,

"I agree. Let's get some cleaning supplies and start cleaning!"

We got some clothes, brooms, and a mop.

I started to assign everyone things to do.

"Sam, you clean up the 3 bedrooms that should keep you busy for a while.

Bailey, you mop the dark wood floors and clean the bathroom in the hall.

And I'll clean the kitchen and the living room."

. . . . . . . . 3 hours later . . . . . . . . .

The girls and I finally finished the inside of the house.

We wanted to drop onto a couch or a bed or something, but the house was completely empty.

I got my phone out and called my mom..

Me: Hey mom! I miss you guys so much.

Anyways, mom you didn't tell me that the house didn't have furniture?!

Mom: miss you too hun, and oh dear. Silly me, I've must of forgotten that we probably sold everything before we left for 13 years.

Me: What are we gonna do?

Mom: mmm.. Well I guess it won't hurt for you guys to completely give that place a make over. Have fun!

She hung up.

I looked at the girls.

They looked at me with confused faces.

"Looks like we're going shopping girls!"

I yelled.

"Yeah, but we don't even have a car?"

She pointed out.

She was right, we couldn't take taxi's everywhere. We're not the cast of Jersey Shore for crying out loud.

I took my phone out and held the home button.
