Yesterday keeps replaying in my head. Im trying to figure out if the events really happened or if it was merely a side effect of missing out on my depression pills for two days straight.
I've been on edge all day. My lease on the apartment is up in exactly 4 weeks from today. That leaves little to no time to continue looking at other potential homes.
Do I really want to miss out on a golden opportunity because I may have imagined seeing and hearing some crazy things?
The house was close to perfect, not to mention priced a little over half of what it's really worth. I can already vision Renee and myself with our own offices and starting a family in the near future.
Speaking of. Renee has always been better at sensing when something is off. Turning over I gently stroke her cheek until her eyes flutter open.
"Good morning beautiful" recieving a smile. "Remember that house I was telling you about last week?"
"Mmhmm, you went to see it yesterday right?"
"Yes, I did, but I'm still a little on the fence about it. Do you have any spare time to view it yourself?"
"Hmm I'm free 12-2pm tomorrow and thursday"
Reaching to grab my phone on the charger I return to the page and check the openings. Just my luck he had a opening tomorrow at 12pm! Signing her up I sent the confirmation link to her phone.
"Now go back to sleep" she laughed out rolling back over.
---------Next Day----------
Leg bouncing, pen taping, I haven't been able to get much work done all morning. My mind is everywhere.
Even if she loves it do I still need to tell her what I heard and saw?Checking the time again.
13:07
Was my tour that long? Hearing our song play out I frantically look around for my phone. Feeling my leg vibrate. I pull it out of my pocket and swipe answer.
"Heyyy" she sangs into the phone instantly calming my nerves.
"Pulling out of the driveway see you in 30 minutes"
13:41
"Baeee!"
"In here"
She walks in grabs my cheeks pecking my lips. Shaking her head smiling I already know the answer she loves it.
"Bae it was beaut- gorgeous!" "Ahh- the kitchen!" "All that space and that price!" "Old style like i grew up in yet still new." Taking a deep breath. "But could we afford it?"
Seeing her this happy makes me change my mind about telling her what I experienced. Especially if it was just side effects and never happened. Yeah i was just having some side effects. I repeat trying to convince myself.
Instead of answering I go to my recent calls and dial Luther's number.
"George"
"Is the house still up for grabs?"
"Yes it is, can yall be here say Thursday a quarter after 12pm to look over some papers?"
The other day Renee happens to be free.
"We will see you 12:15 tomorrow"
"Perfect"
Meanwhile on the other side of the phone Luther was holding a sinister smile as he disconnects the call.
Chuckling he crosses
The Drowning House on Elson Street off of his list.
"One down five more to go"
