The house itself is beautiful. I really want to see wants inside and what it looks like. We exit the car and mom unlocks the front door. We enter the house and wow. I'm stunned! It looks so beautiful. The walls are painted white. It looks neat. I thought that it was going to look deserted but it looks very neat. It looks like someone has been living there.
"This is awesome!" Mel says. Mom looks happy and satisfied. I'm also happy that I live in this house. But I'm still going to miss my friends. I think that I'll just have to adjust to this new life and hope only for the best. "This looks so amazing." The words escape my mouth without me even noticing.
"I know right sweety." Mom says smiling. I smiled. For once I wasn't giving her attitude. My mood changed a bit. "Go and check your rooms." Mom says to us. I walk up the stairs. "Your room is the third one!" She shouts from downstairs. I just nod but realize that she can't see me. "Okay mom!" I shout back.
I enter my room and wow its big. Really, really big. It has a king size bed in the middle of the room. It is also painted white. It has a wall in closet. And its own bathroom. Oh.Me.Gosh. I'm loving this. I throw myself in the bed and I savor the moment. Which I know that it's going to last.
It has an amazing view of Clifton View. And it also has a balcony. I'm going to enjoy it here. But I know that today and tomorrow will be working days, meaning that we will be packing our things and settling in to the house.
"Raven, we'll order takeaways today!" Dad shouts from downstairs. I didn't care what we are going to eat but I just wanted to eat something nice. I knew that mom wouldn't want to cook today. I head downstairs and mom is making coffee.
"I'd like a cup." I say already knowing that she won't make me one. "How many sugars?" She asks. I'm shocked. I thought she was going to scold me for being lazy and not wanting to make my one cup she is actually offering me a cup. "Three." I respond. She makes the coffee and hands me the cup. I thank her and we chat. She is so free and energetic today. I wonder what's gotten into her.
"Pizza?!" Dad asks as he enters the kitchen. I turn and face him, he looks shocked. "What's wrong dad?!" I ask. He is silent for a while. "Nothing." He responds after a while. I nod and smile. "Yep that will do just fine." I respond.
He take out his phone from his pocket and he orders the pizza. 'What do you want on your pizza?' He mouths to me. ' Meat and cheese, just say something meaty with extra cheese. ' I respond. He tells that to the person that he is talking to.
"They'll be here in fifteen minutes." Dad informs us. I nod and mom smiles. He turns to leave the room but he turns and looks at us. "What were you two talking about?!" He asks. My mom smirks. "About my new boyfriend." I giggle.
She winks and dad doesn't see her. This means that I should play along. "Mom! I didn't know dad knew about this." I tried to be serious. She smiles. "Sorry Honey, I did want you to find like this" She acts sad and worried. My dad looks like he's going to puke.
"Rose, are you serious?!" He asks shocked. This is the first time that I hear dad call mom by her first name. I laughed, unable to hold it back. Mom followed as she shook her head. "Bruce you know I love you and I can't love anyone the way I love you." Mom assures him. I can't stop laughing. He looks relaxed after he heard mom's words.
He was about to say something but the door rang. He smiled "That should be the pizza guy." He says before walking out. Mom tries to stop laughing but can't. I take the cups and put them in the sink. "Go and call your sisters." Mom says. I nod smiling. I head upstairs and the girls are chatting, I don't know what they are talking about. "Dinners ready." I say standing where the door should be.
"Who cooked?" Mel ask. "Okay, dinner isn't ready. More like takeaways are ready." They giggle at my response. "We'll be down soon." Kay says. I smile and head back downstairs. Mom is taking out plates from the cupboard.
Dad puts the pizza boxes on the kitchen counter and looks at mom. "I thought I have lost you, Rose." Dad says. I feel bad for playing along but it was fun to see him stressed. "Bruce sweetheart, I'll always love you." Mom replied.
She kissed dad. "Are we disturbing something?!" Kay asks as she and Mel enter the kitchen. Mom and dad laugh and shake their heads. "Nothing sweetheart." Mom responds. They take their seat, on the bar stool that are around the kitchen counter. Dad opened the pizza boxes. "Take what you like." He informs. He bought three different kinds on pizza.
Mel and Kay are the first to help themselves. I laugh. Mom looks at me.
"Why are you laughing?!" She asks me. "I'm just thinking mom." I respond casually. I also help myself. I love pizza especially when it's something meaty with extra cheese and barbeque sauce.

I wake up and head downstairs. My luggage is still in the trunk. "Morning mom." I greet her as I walk past her. I take the keys from the bowl near the door and head outside. Its hot today. I take my luggage and head upstairs with it. I take a shower. I walk out with a towel wrapped around my body, I pack my clothes in the closet and leave out what I'm going to water today.
Which was a pink crop top and denim shorts. I didn't bother with my hair because I won't be going anywhere today. I headed downstairs for breakfast. Mom had made eggs and bacon. My favourite breakfast. I set the table and called Mel, Kay and dad to the table. They sat down and waited for mom to put the breakfast on the table.
We ate our breakfast. My phone rang and it was Nikita.
Me: Hey Niki
Niki: Hey Raven, how are you doing?!
Me: I'm good and you?!
Niki: I'm also good. Dad sent me a pic of the new house yesterday. Oh.Me.Gosh. It looks so beautiful.
Me: That's what I also thought when I saw it. I so love the house. I was asking myself why we didn't move here any sooner.
Niki: Someone is in a good mood.
Me: Whatever. I'm still hurt about the fact that I had to leave my friends in Killarney Bay.
Niki: You'll get used to it.
Me: I hope so.
Niki: Okay Rav, bye.
Me: Bye sis.
With that she hanged up and I put the phone on the table. "That was Nikita, she says she loves the house." I inform them, looking at mom because she was giving me that 'who was that' look. She nods. And dad smiles.
"How is she?!" Mel asks. I turn my attention to her. "She's okay." I respond. She nods with a smile.
