No Disguised Mask

Chapter Three

The drive was approximately close to two hours from my current home. Not bad considering another house for sale another hour away from this one.

Turning the radio down while pulling through the driveway I was forwarding my head over the wheel a bit to get a good look at it.

It was perfect!

It was already evening. The hour hasn't changed back yet but telling how quite chilly it is lately fall was approaching. The hour is setting in to go back. I mean, it's my favorite.

The cabin was on flat ground. It's a good piece away from the traffic but it was just perfect. Space, some traffic noise, and privacy. I could probably walk around naked on the outside. Not. There's people out there who doesn't mind being nosy. I can't deal with that. I'm nosy just only if it's a situation where I need to be nosy.

Climbing out of the truck, I've looked around to look at the woods. It's really beautiful. The scenery is love. The smell of pine trees and earthy scent combined. The type of smell that's calming to humans. It was kind of damped. The moisture from the rain has settled in and it's the most relaxing scent I can inhale.

Through the windows I've looked on the inside. The lights weren't on but from where I was peeping I can make out it's really nice. I can seem to hope that it's more than nice when I do walk in. I just hope the inside of it doesn't have this old granny scent. However you describe it.

The wood from the cabin smells fresh. This is the type where the wood needs to be treated. Not too bad. I pray that whoever is selling this house shows up soon. I'm tired and this headache is coming again. I just might need to go to the doctor. I'll have to switch my doctors after I'm settled in this cabin.

Soon after, this car pulls up. Might be the owner.

A woman steps out and yells "I'm sorry. I'm a little behind time. I'm Sharon. Sharon Olink." She reaches her hand out. I'm guessing she's waiting for me. "Nice to meet you, Sharon. I'm Annaiese Voaux." I reached mines out this time to shake her hand with a bright smile. "Shall we?" She aimed at the cabin. We walked towards the door and she cuts in front of me to open the door. The lights were turned on and boy, oh, boy was it a beau. It might be a medium sized cabin but I'll stay in here and never come out.

Hold that thought. I'll need to shop too. Never mind.

"This is breathtaking. I love it." I squealed and giving her the biggest grin. I was legit happy about this. It also pops a question. "If you don't mind me asking, how much are you selling it for, is it haunted, who were the previous buyers, is there anything wrong with this location?" Saying it all in one go, she looked at me. "Ma'am, you can own it for ninety-five thousand, it is not haunted, the previous owners were more homey and some were neat freaks, and the location is A-okay." She smiled her professional smile while I lowered my eyes at her. I can see how she swallowed so I'm going to end up giving this a chance. So I'm going to do what's best for the both of us.

"Miss. Sharon, some homeowners have contracts. So, if anything's wrong with this house," stretching my arms out then turning around "I would love to have thirty days prior to when I'm settled in to give this a go." Playfully speaking in a British accent. "Did you just?" Not finishing her question. Making a courtesy and I smiled for her. "I can make arrangements for you, ma'am. I'll give you my information and I will be contacting you soon." She handed me her card after she wrote her personal number down.

"Thank you, Sharon. It's nice doing business with you. See you soon." Making my exit I can feel my head is throbbing. I made my way back to the truck and made a phone call to my mom. "Dear, where are you? Are you okay?" Hearing the concern in her voice. "Mom, can you please call my doctor and make an appointment for me? My head is killing me. I don't know what's wrong." Thinking to myself how am I going to make it home because of lights coming from the traffic and the lights that are in town. "Are you able to drive back home? If not, me and your dad can come to get you." Her voice was as sweet as honey.

I always had her to sing to me before I go to bed and tonight, I'll need her. "I'll take a couple of Tylenol before I head out. I'll be home shortly." Trying to ease her worries. "I'll see you soon, dear. I'll put on a fresh pot of coffee for you. Talk to you later." She hung up the phone and I rushed to pop two Tylenol in my mouth.

This headache has to go.
