stood in the doorway "How do I look?"
I walked towards her slowly ,her placing my hand romantically on the back of her head "You always look beautiful." As I moved her hair behind her ears I noticed her wearing my wife's golden dolphin earrings, they were the first piece of jewelry I ever bought her. I haven't seen them in years I thought Megan lost them. "Where did you find those?" I asked her being very curious as to where they've been.
"They were in the pockets of these jeans and I love dolphins so it worked out. Now let's go see my surprise."
I grabbed her hand and led her to the truck. "I have to make one business stop before I show you. It's right down the street."
"Jeez Kev, your dragging this out. Way to keep a girl guessing."
I pulled into the parking lot of the real estate office. "Wait here," I demanded, grabbed my briefcase and ran into the office.
I asked the receptionist for the listing agent. He came out and greeted me "Hello Mr. Barrick, I have everything prepared just need a couple of signatures."
"Great, lead the way" I responded with a sense of urgency.
We entered his office and without sitting down I leaned on the desk and signed were the signature markers laid. Reaching into my briefcase I grabbed the rolls I counted out the thirty-six thousand he needed for the first,last, and security. He seemed astonished by the fact I was paying him in cash but that didn't stop him from taking it.
"Thank you, Mr. Barrick. Here is two sets of keys, a gate remote, and a welcome package just to show you some of the amenities in the neighborhood." He presented me a folder with all the important information.
"Thanks, have a good day." And without further adieu I was back in the truck on my way to our new home.
As we approached the entrance, I pulled over before she could see the signs of the neighborhood.
"Here put this on." I handed here a makeshift blindfold made from a towel rolled up.
She smiled at me and laughed "Your joking right?"
"Come on, just humor me would you?" I implored.
She tied it around her head and I continued to drive into our neighborhood. Looking anxiously for the house, turning my head back and forth to see the numbers.
"Oh, there it is." I proclaimed. Pulling into the driveway "Now don't peek." I teased. I grabbed Rachael by her arm and dragged her to the front doorway. "Are you ready?" my hands shook with excitement as I unlocked the door to our new home.
As we walked in, still guiding Rachael, the echoes of our footsteps filled the empty home. I positioned her in the center of the living room which offered the best views of the beach. As I untied the blindfold from her head, I leaned in to whisper in her ear "Welcome home." The blindfold fell from face, her look was priceless. Rachael's eye's opened wide and jaw dropped in astonishment of the view.
"I don't understand. What do you mean 'welcome home?'”
Still excited I told her "I rented this place for you, for us, so you could get out of that place, that horrible place. I thought you would love it."
"No, no, no. I do love it. I love that we can spend more time together. But what about my uncle? He needs me, and I need him. He's the only family I have left." She let me know of her concerns.
"Well, hmm, let me think." After a few seconds of silence I said "This place is big enough for all three of us, he can move in as well."
She smiled at me with those ocean blue eyes "You serious?" She asked in disbelief.
I quickly nodded.
"I can't believe it. This is going to be awesome!" She screamed while jumping around the empty living room in excitement. "Oh wait, there is still one big problem." She proclaimed.
"And what would that be Rachael?" I answered with confusion.
"What am I suppose to do with an empty house?" She looked towards me and gave me a sarcastic smile.
"Well that is something that is easily fix. You go shopping of course." I said with excitement. "Let's go to the mall." I grabbed her by the arm and we
