Home Sweet Home!
I stayed on the sidewalk watching Wesley drive out of sight before I turned and walked up the walk-way to the house. Once reaching the steps I looked down at Nicole who was leaning against part of the front porch

I giggled when Nicole started the song then I joined in on the "Hot Pockets!" line. I think all the people who have lived in this house while Andy has been here knows that song well, just because whenever it comes on a commercial Andy yells the song through the whole house. Then I finished the last bit of my hot pocket and looked to Nicole as she laughed and then came with the hand going over her mouth quickly. My guess it has something to do with Andrew and hot pockets. Since ya know, he ain't here and we are eating them it sounds like a pretty fair guess.
"What you laughing at? Come on you can tell me on the way upstairs."
I got up and took both the plates and the glasses and put them in the dishwasher and then made my way to the stairs and we went up the first set, then down the end of the hall and I opened a door which took us up another flight up stairs. Once up those stairs we were in my bedroom. I walked over to my dresser and pulled out a pair of new pjs and tossed them over to Nicole. Then I pulled out a pair for myself. I sat them on the dresser then walked to my closet and pulled out a baby blue towel and then tossed that to Nicole and I pulled out a purple one for myself.
"Okay the bathroom is just through there. Also in you look in the drawer under the sink there should be a toothbrush not even open yet. You can have that one. I am going to go and use Buffy's bathroom then I will meet you back up here. If you want you can have the bed. I will pull out the air mattress."
Then I made my way back downstairs and into Buffy's room. Then I closed her door behind me and went to her bathroom and ran the hot water and made it so it was perfect temperature. I got in and I started with washing my hair. Then ya know the whole shower routine.

She blurted out a bunch of instructions as to where things were, only then did it dawn on me that 'hello, this was a new house.' Being half asleep I guess forgetting that the last place you lived is no longer existent could happen...or--whatever.
I do remember her pointing to...somewhere, so I headed in that direction and what do ya know, a bathroom was behind door number one! I even managed to find the towel and toothbrush she had mentioned. Three for three...too bad I don't follow instruction this well when I'm wide awake.
Once I had showered and my teeth were minty-clean, I made my way back to Dawn's room, still attempting to towel-dry my hair. I was in no mood to make with my usual ritual of blow-drying/straight ironing my hair, so the towel would do...I guess. I probably shouldn't be allowed to play with electrical appliances at this point. Good thing I didn't have to iron my PJ's. Because what if the phone rang...and I answered the iron by mistake? That would be...bad.

"Okay um, you can sleep here. Don't worry it's not going to fold up or anything on you once it's down it's secure till you put it up yourself."
I walked over and flipped the light switch and turned out the light. Then on my way back I shut the curtains then I got into bed. And got under the blankets. I put my hairbrush on the night stand and yawned.
"Good-night Nicole"

This house had beds that just pop out of the walls. Her old house didn't have that. Hell, my current house didn't even have that! I'm easily amazed...shush. It's 'wow-factor' dwindled a bit after she mentioned it folding up....with me still on it. Sure, she said it WASN'T going to fold up, but paranoid little me...
"Night."
Yes, I was too lazy to say good. Slipping into the once neat, now kinda of scary wall bed thinger, I covered myself and drifted off.
