House Of Horror

*Dean's P.O.V.*

"Where is this house at again ?" I asked out of breath.

"The guy sent me the address earlier. It's only like a mile away."

"What !? A mile ! Seth, I'm wearing jeans !" I complained. "Exercising with jeans on in the sun is like wearing a shirt in a swimming pool. It just doesn't make sense ! You don't do it !"

"Oh wait, that's a three not an eight. We're here." he said cutting off my rant.

"This ? This is it ?"

Seth was so happy, he ran up the stairs like a kid in a candy store. Once I made it to the top, he introduced me to the real estate agent that waited for us.

"Hi, I'm Brad Maddox. Nice to meet you."

"Maddox ? Don't we know you ?"

"I can't imagine you would." the agent said.

"Mhm, you look like someone we triple powerbombed before." I said walking past him and squinting.

"No Dean ! This is the house agent. Sorry Brad, we're professional wrestlers, we do a lot of crazy things."

"I saw that in your message. So you touch and throw people for a living ?"

"And break a few bones .... tear muscles in the process." I said.

"Perfect. Well this is the house. Previously owned by the iconic JLo-"

"JLo use to live here !? Kinda small for a 'superstar' right ?" I questioned as Seth elbowed me.

"This was back when she first came out. Not everyone can be rich off their first song .... or album .... or movie." Brad said. "Anyways, this is a two level house with three bedrooms and four bath."

"Whoa, slow down. Seth, the bathrooms I understand, but what do we need three bedrooms for ?" I asked.

"Trust me, we'll need them. Can you show us the backyard Brad ?"

"Of course !" he walked us out. "Plenty of space for a nice family outing."

"Barbecue." I whispered to Seth.

"Not to mention there's also a path that leads from the basement up to the backyard right behind you. The cement area over there from the previous owner, they made it a basketball court."

"That's pretty cool. Now, does that window up there turn into a personal balcony like that TV commercial ?" I asked.

"Dean, you have to get that modified yourself."

"Oh, that's not a problem. Show us the basement Brian."

"It's Brad." he said staring at me. "It's roomy like upstairs. You take the living room, and the master bedroom and that's the size of the basement."

"So you could basically turn the basement into a second home ? That's insane." I heard Seth say staring around.

"Upstairs is where all the magic happens." I smirked in his ear.

As we followed the agent, Seth watched me walk upstairs. I was too focused on why the stairs spiraled up to pay him any attention. Seeing the two bedrooms, they were decent. I still didn't see the point in three though.

"This is the master bedroom. Equipped with an all around walk-in closet."

"What's with the shelfs ?" I questioned. "And where's the last bathroom at ? We only saw three."

"Every closet needs shelves for shoes. And the bathroom is behind here."

Brad pulled on the giant mirror on the wall and it opened to show a full bathroom.

"We're buying it." I said.

"You haven't seen the best part." Brad said.

Brad took us back to the basement and opened a door, showing a hallway. As we followed it, we went up a slope and was at another door. Once Seth opened it, a warm, soft blast of air hit us.

"Two fucking indoor pools ?" I said under my breath.

"The pool was built to have a wildlife feel, hence the small waterfall and rocks. The second pool you see is like a hottub, excluding the jet feature. The tempure is warm to the touch. There's a mini bar and of course outlets all over."

"Okay, I wasn't expecting this." Seth said shocked. "We'll take it !"

"Now wait a hot damn dead diggity minute Seth. Do you see this place ? Just the pool area ? We came here by an underground tunnel ! This is extra if I've ever seen it !"

"Well of course it's extra. That's why it's listed as $3.4 million." Brad said.

*Seth's P.O.V.*

"$3 million !? What the fuck Brett !?" Dean shouted.

"It's Brad."

"Whatever ! You want $3 million for this !?"

"$3.4 million."

"What about a down payment ?" I asked calmly.

"That's gonna be roughly $1 million, most likely more. I can see this is gonna need some disccusion. Here's my card Seth, or you can email me when you're ready to talk purchasing."

We quickly left and went back to the hotel room. I didn't say anything the whole way there, I knew Dean was livid.

"Seth, I know you want that house, but I can build you a house for less than that. We're not millionaires !" he said.

"I know, but that's it. That's the house I wanna live and die in. I've spent months looking at houses online. I didn't even know the pool was apart of it."

"But you saw it costs $3 million."

"Babe, I can get that house." I said with confidence.

"But how long will it take to pay it all off ? $30,000 is different than $3 million."

"$30,000 ? That's waaaay below my plan. I'm trying to stay in one place and live my life. I want that house."

We were interrupted by Dean's phone. He answered it, but stayed silent as a woman kept calling for him. He hung up, saying it was a debt collector again.

"I don't wanna argue about this." I said giving him a hug. "Can we just let it go for now ? We have the tag titles to worry about."

He sighed before giving me a kiss and walking away. I knew he didn't want to pay half for the house, let alone make a down payment. It seemed like I should start looking for a $30,000 house instead. Maybe I could sneak in an extra zero if I played my cards right.
