First Day In This House

I woke up to hear people walking around upstairs, I go to use the bathroom and the door is locked, knocking on it. “Hey!” I called out, “Sorry nearly done in here.” Alex yelled out, quickly making my bed while I waiting I heard his door open rushing towards the bathroom, “Sweet Jesus thank god! I so need to pee right now!” I cried out, and he chuckled, “I wouldn’t be that happy in going in that bathroom!” He yells out from his room, oh crap he stunk the room out, “Oh no you didn’t?” I asked, he popped his head into the doorway of my room, “Sure did little sis.” He said sounding very proud of himself. I groaned out, “Bloody hell! I will use one of the upstairs ones.” I yelled out rushing upstairs into the bathroom, felt much better walking into the kitchen to find Charlotte eating leftovers with a smile on her face.

Walking up to her and giving her a hug, “Morning sis, how are you?” I asked, “Morning Rhi, yeah I’m good.” She said hugging me back. “Have you seen my camera gear? I didn’t see any of it when I unpacked my room. Thought I had it with my room items.” I asked her, “No I haven’t seen it but I also haven’t fully unpacked my room. I don’t think they would be with my items but have you asked dad? It could have gone into his office when we moved everything into the house.” She said handing me a slice which I took, taking a big bite. I should tell her that I think our new neighbour had seen me naked and enjoyed looking if I judged his look correctly. I was just about to tell her when dad walks in with a big smile on his face, thinking all the stress of getting down here has finally left him. “Ask me what? Also morning sweethearts how did you sleep in our new house?” Dad asked taking a slice out of the box while giving us both morning hugs and kisses on the top of our heads.

We both answered saying morning and telling him we slept well. No way am I telling my sister what happened while dad is around he would most likely rush over and punch Dimitri in the face for looking but also my own fault for not closing the blinds first. I love my family I do, I really do but some days I don’t want the two men in this family to go all macho on me, until I need them to be like that and right now I don’t need them to be.

“Have you seen my camera gear dad?” I asked, “No, I didn’t get up to that in our unpacking, but will be doing more unpacking today but won’t be until after I come from scouting a new building for my company. Did you girls want to join me on the hunt?” He asked, “I’m keen to tag!” Charlotte said, they both looked at me, “I’m unsure as I want to find my gear and then go exploring this new city.” I told them, “Sounds good Rhi, Char we head out in thirty minutes be ready. Rhi head down to the office to see if it was put in with my gear, which I hope it was.” Dad said, “Thanks.” I said walking towards the office as Alex came bound up the stairs, “Good morning purple people eaters!” Alex said loudly, “Morning weirdo!” I yelled back at him, Charlotte burst out into a fit of laughter, “Morning dragon poo!” she said, “Morning son my little weirdo! Have a good first day at work, hope the kids are good for you!” Dad said, “Hey dad where is mum?” Charlotte asked, yeah that is odd for her not to be here.

“She starts earlier down here, she will be home this afternoon,” Dad said, Charlotte jumps up and gives our brother a hug and a kiss on the cheek, “See ya have a good day bro.” She said brightly, he hugged her back and gave her a kiss on the forehead too, “Thanks sis, go get the dragons.” He said just as brightly, “See ya Alex, have a good day!” I yelled out to him, “See ya baby sis, thanks. See you all tonight.” He said as he walks out to his first day at the school down the road, hopefully, his PE lessons go well for him today.

Finish off making my way down the hallway while dad was busy in the kitchen and Charlotte singing out of tune in the shower next door to the office, only to just stop at the door looking in sheer shock it is nearly full of boxes, “Great I’m going to be here all day!” I snapped, fine better get started looking at the boxes I could get into first, once deeming they are dad’s I put them out in the hallway so I could get further into the room, will put them back in the room for him once I find my gear.

Twenty-five minutes later dad popped his head into the office, “We are off Rhiannon, I have left a set of keys in the kitchen for you however, they are for the front door only I will get more cut for you all today. Also good luck with this.” He said I wanted to slap him for saying that but I didn’t. “ok, thanks dad, cya!” I snapped, he just laughs as he calls out for Charlotte to follow him. Another ten minutes have past and I finally found my gear all my professional hair tools and products, then I found my makeup gear shit was my camera stuff, pulling down the next box over and yes finally found it digging around to find the camera I want to work with today and I found it. Putting that camera down on the bench and took down that box to my room leaving it on my bed before rushing upstairs grabbing my gear and heading back into my room to get ready for today.
