Living the dream

Chapter Two

"Okay ring the door bell" mom said looking at Josh.

Ding dong.

"Coming, one second!" A female voice called.

The door opened and a very tall blonde hair, brown eyes lady stood in front of us.

"Hello, I'm Abby Price. It's nice of you to come over. You guys are the very first to welcome us to this beautiful neighborhood. Everything I have seen looks so wonderful. Don't you think so?" Holy cheese she talks a lot.

"Yes it's a very nice place. I am Terra Lee and this is my son Joshua and daughter Sophia Lee." My mom said pointing to us.

"Hello," Josh and I said in unison.

"Well hello guys. Please come to the dinning room. The rest of the family should be coming down soon," She said as we followed her through the house, until we reached the dinning area.

We sat down on the couches, when suddenly the sound of footsteps came running down the stairs. It sounded like elephants running away from a lion.

A course of 'hey mom' and 'hi momma' went around as 5 boys and 2 girls came into the room.

"Okay so you don't have to remember their names, but this is the oldest, Jessica, and she's 21. Then there is Chris, he's 20. The twins, Crystal and Jackson, they are 17. Then there's Conner who is 14, Todd who is 10, and this little guy is Chance, he's 5. Oh yes and my husband Jeramy. He is at work tonight and he can't make it tonight."

Holy shiz nips. I think I'm in the house of the Greek Gods. Damage, the guys are fine! Well, the two older ones, but even the younger one are good looking. I promise, I am not a pedophile!

"Well I guess I'll introduce my two kids. Okay this is Joshua and he is 10, just like Todd is. Then this is Sophia and she's 16. I am Terra and I'm not telling you my age." my mom said as everyone chucked.

So Jackson is the name of my window neighbor. Well, let's say he so much sexier upfront. Blue eyes, brown hair. But there's also Chris with his blondeish hair and big blue eyes.

As I was dreaming of the boys, I felt someone tugging on my shirt.

"Yes?" I asked the little boy. Um.. Chance? Yeah Chance.

"Where is your daddy?" he asked me, so innocently.

I couldn't remember what to say to little kids because my dad had died in the military a month after Josh was born.

"Oh um he is on a vacation. Yes, you see he doesn't live with us but he's on vacation right now." I told the little boy. But it looked like he didn't understand.

"Oh does he go on away alot?" Abby asked.

"Yeah, he is usually home. Well at his home anyway. He's in paradise actually." my mom said.

Most of the older kids understood that he had passed away. So I guess we are supposed to tell the younger kids he's in paradise. Okay well, I have to remember that.

"Oh that sounds fun! Mom I want to go to paradise! I bet there is everything you ever want there!" the kid that was Josh's age said.

"Um.. Yeah maybe someday but not today." Jessica laughed.

"Okay well let's dig in I'm starving!" Abby smiled while putting mashed potatoes on her plate. Everyone soon got a little but of everything.

I took as little as possible, because there was so much food. Green beans, mashed potatoes, ham, noodle pasta, salad, soup, and some desserts.

As I was eating my food I felt someone's stare on me so I looked across the table and made I contact with Jackson. Who was staring at me.

"So what's your guys favorite thing to do?" Jackson asked while still looking at me. I blushed and quickly looked down.
