Once Upon A Time (Re post)

Chapter 3 - Home

After the awkward singing situation, we pulled into the driveway and Kim popped the trunk for me. I slid gracefully out of the car. Quickly moving to the back of the car, I pulled up the heavy lid and lifted my brown bag out and set it down, staring up at the two story house. Well, really one story with a loft, but that's beside the point. I walked through the path in the lush garden and up to the front door, following close behind Kim. She opened the door which lead into the sitting room which is connected to the kitchen, separated by only and granite peninsula countertop. There was a loveseat in the front window and the is also a medium sized coffee table. Looking to my left was a spiral staircase that I assumed led to the loft and to my right a hall with 4 doors . I set my bag down on the floor next to the mahogany (yes mahogany) wood table and began exploring. I looked at every beautiful painting, every fun picture, and every gaming merch piece and decided to ask Kim to show me around.

Kim walked up the spiral staircase with me following close behind when I reach the final step I pull the bag up behind me and as my head popped out at the top of the stairs and my jaw dropped. There was a dense alcove that have about 5 feet back and 7 across made of glass with a window wide bench that was also a bookshelf but it also had a whiteboard wall and a chalkboard on the opposite side. The room itself was big as the room I shared with 6 girls at the orphanage and had a queen bed no sheets a dark cherry wood set of furniture with a lofted bed that had drawers underneath and the headboard has a bookshelf then there's also a little space I can make my hideout underneath there was a night stand and a big bookshelf and lastly a nice desk with a big soft wheely chair with a laptop on top and a nice lamp and spinning pencil holder that had eight sections and slots for name tags and there was also on my bed a big body pillow and the moon chair in the corner and a bean bag by the window but other than this the room was bare it had things but nothing to fill them and I realized something I'm gonna love it here. Kim finally said something after the silence "On Friday we'll go and get things for your room i'll give you 300 pounds to decorate and 200 pounds for things you want then i'll get you some new outfit and we'll get paint ect... ect." I set my bag on the bed and ran up to her and gave her the first hug i'd given anyone since mom. It was warm, comforting. It was home.
