Bright POV
We wake and head to Dads. When we arrive, everyone is already in the kitchen around the big table. "Morning Son, Lance" Dad says.
"Morning everyone, did everyone have a good day yesterday?" I ask as Lance and I take our seats "we had a good day and relaxed" Dad tells us.
"Maire showed us how to shop" P' Ai says smiling.
"I've had to buy a bigger case" Maire admits "Mum once dragged me around the shops for 6 whole hours. I had to get a taxi home as I couldn't fit in the car.
The next day she made me help her go through our closets to make room for all the new clothes she bought. Since then I've put a 3-hour limit to our shopping trips" Lance says smiling at his Mum.
"I'd had a very successful show and went a little crazy" she admits making everyone laugh.
"I know you'll drag P' Bright to the Mall's when you come over to visit" she adds. "P' Bright is going to go crazy when he sees the shoe's" Lance says and I nod my head looking forward to it.
"Your Brothers are going to go back with Maire and will becoming back 2 days after you arrive there" Des tells us.
Lance and I share a look before nodding at them. I don't know what I think of my Brothers liking Lance's Mum. I tell myself that they are adults and hope that it goes well.
"Do you still want me to come and see you off at the airport Mum?" Lance asks "no Honey, P' Des tells me that P' Bright has bought a condo that you need to move into. You'll feel better if you're settled before you come over and sort out your new place there" she says.
Lance nods "alright, but don't forget to call when you land and just because your busy don't forget to keep in touch" he tells her.
We finish breakfast and clear away "P' Maire would you like to come and see the new condo?" I ask her "is it far?" she asks "if we stop and get your bags packed and loaded then you can go to the airport from there" I suggest.
"We will come and pick you up, as we still have a little packing to do" P' Mount says. I say goodbye to Dad and Dennis then we go to the condo.
It is near my studio and only a short drive to work for Lance. I park the car and we look at the gardens, communal pool and gym before going up to the condo. I let Lance open it he and Maire go in first. It's empty of furniture at the moment but I did buy the kitchen and laundry appliances even had them fitted.
The entrance way has a shoe closet and coat closet with a bench. We walk along the short hall to the open plan sitting room, dining room and kitchen.
"P' Bright this is perfect look at the natural light pouring into the room" Lance says. The flooring is dark cherry wood and runs through the condo apart from the bathrooms and laundry which are tiled.
The sitting room has a large picture window and sliding doors that lead to the balcony. There are built in bookshelves on the short wall by the window. The kitchen is modern and has light grey granite countertops. With cream cupboards and draws. There is a large double fridge and freezer with dishwasher and eye level oven and grill.
The hob is in the island and breakfast bar. "This is a great kitchen. I'm going to enjoy cooking here" Lance says making me smile.
We look into the smaller bathroom for guests situated around the corner of the second hall leading to the bedrooms and laundry. The first bedroom is the spare bedroom and is a double room with built in closet and large window overlooking the front garden. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and attached bathroom. It is a large room with only the lighting in at the moment. The bathroom has a separate shower and bath as well as two sinks with lots of cupboards.
"P' Bright you have chosen very well" Maire tells me. "Thank you, it took a little while but I as soon as I walked in, I had a good feeling about it" I tell them. "I got that it welcomes you, even though there is no furniture here yet" Lance agrees with me.
"We will have to decide which furniture to bring with us from both our condo's" I say. "I want to buy a new bed and probably a new sofa" Lance says.
I nod "I was thinking the same" I agree. There is a knock on the door as P' Ai and P' Mount come to pick up Maire.
"I'm not going to cry because I'll be seeing you in just under two weeks. You should have your cast off by then too" Maire says hugging Lance and kissing his cheek.
I get a hug as well and I hug my brother's "be careful" I tell each of them. We wave them off and Lance wraps his arms around me "thank you, for the condo it's perfect. It will be a good first home for us" he says. I can't describe how happy I am in this moment. I grin at him and kiss him.
