Greyson (Lightening Series Book One)

Chapter Twenty Two

By lunchtime the following day, I had seen four houses. None of which was what I was looking for, either too small or too pricey. The agent was probably becoming stressed by now at my fussy ways but this was important to me that I got it right.

I was told to meet him for my final viewing at the end of my parents street, once I passed Charlottes house my two houses and seen him I frowned. The houses in this area would be definitely out of my budget. There was no houses next to Charlottes house, Grey bought the land surrounding and the houses next to it were extravagant. They were also known as the more luxurious side of the street.

The houses here were huge, big gates leading up to the driveway, a pool in the back yard and more space inside and out then you knew what to deal with.

I got out of my Dad's car, silently thanking him for dropping me off once again at another house. My Dad wasn't fussed for the viewing, he said he would investigate once I signed the paperwork, allowing me to make this decision by myself. I was thankful that he did.

"I think this area is going to be out of my budget Tom." I told him with a small smile as I walked up to him.

"Nonsense." He smiled, "This area is family orientated, we have a large park towards the end of the street and a lake in the woods just behind us." I looked to the woods, remembering the times me and Grey would sneak to the lake. "The road here is genuinely and regularly quiet so there's no traffic, it's a secure area..I mean you could literally hear a pin drop here." He laughed at his own joke. "Moving on, two doors that way is the Mother of Greyson Scott." He wagged his eyebrows suggestively as I rolled my eyes.

"I think everyone in this street knows that Tom." I smiled but my tone never reached it causing him to clear his throat.

"Not everyone is a fan." He laughed itching the back of his head, "Would you like to see inside?" He asked and I nodded as he walked towards the large gates which where already opened.

There was a large driveway leading up to this mass of a house, mono blocked with brick to the front porch. It was a very large space, big enough to build another house in front of it. The greenery around the drive way was overgrown and unkept, areas of moss displaying on the bricks. Nevertheless, we walked towards the front door and I looked up at the beautiful house in front of me, it was huge. Red bricks rendered the outside richly while two large bay windows showcased themselves at both sides of the door.

Looking up to the second floor I could see a large almost floor to ceiling window in the centre with two large balconies either side of this in line with the lower bay windows. They must have sliding doors from each bedroom and I loved it. The price may deter that though.

"No one has lived here for almost five years." Tom told me as I turned to him surprised, "The family didn't make the decision to sell it until a few weeks back but they were quite thorough with there selling requests." He told me as he placed a key in the front door to unlock it, twisting the handle and pushing forward.

"What requests?" I asked following behind him and into the spectacular hallway, it was enormous.

The floors were lined with white marble, a grand staircase leading from the centre of the area and branching off to the left and to the right, both leading to the upstairs landing.

There was doors everywhere and I couldn't wait to open each one to see what was behind it.

"They don't want to sell it to an outsider so it has to be someone who lived in this street or previously lived in this street." He shrugged walking towards double oak doors and pushing, "This is the great room as I call it." He smiled as I followed behind him.
