My four Decisions - Part 5

I was so amazed. I turned to look at mum who was staring at me trying to read my face expressions.
I gave he a huge smile and said “So…which room is mine?”
“Umm…you can choose!” She said still piercing her eyes toward my face.
“Great!” I sprinted up the stairs in what seemed like five seconds. I looked at all 6 doors stretched out in the landing. I ran toward the first one and opened the door…it was the bathroom…huge! It was probably the biggest one I have seen …ever…like one of those bathrooms you would see on MTV Cribs. It was glistening. I closed the door behind me and ran toward the second door. When I opened the door…I saw it. There it was…my dream room. It was probably 4 times the size of my old room which wasn’t actually that small…until I saw this one anyway. I loved it so much. It had a huge window with a balcony. The weather outside was very hot, I could definitely start sunbathing… although…I didn’t bring a bikini with me. And…wait…a built in wardrobe… “O-M-G, How is this happening?” I stood inside the wardrobe and inhaled….you could smell the scent of new wood. I stepped out and smiled then I turned to look at the other half of the room…another door…I wonder what it could be?…I walked over and turned the handle. It was a bathroom. Not a toilet, an actual bathroom with a bath tub and a shower…and everything!

“Mum! Mum? MUM!” I shouted my mums name as if I was practicing a line for a play…reaching different heights with my tone.
“What’s wrong?” Mum came running up the stairs and into the room.
“How? I mean, how did you afford all of this mum…Its my dream room!”
“Darling, I meant to tell you but I couldn’t find the right time…so here it goes…” She paused, took a sigh and continued, “Well, you see my aunt, Margret, died of Cancer a few weeks ago. And she left me a lot of money in her will.” She smiled but looked slightly sad at the same time.
“That’s great! Oh …wait…I didn’t mean it like that I meant to say it was …great that…well…”
“Darling! I know! It was a shock to me too…and when I saw how much she left us…well…I nearly fainted…” She stared into my eyes. Of course she would nearly faint. It was mum. She was so emotional. I better not take after her… I laughed a silent laugh and said “Yup…that sounds like you mum!”
She laughed and sighed. “Yep. I guess it does. Well, I am going to go and unpack some of the furniture. I’ll let you settle in.”
“Thanks mum! That sounds good…although…were is my bed? I thought you were getting all the furniture delivered here?”
“Oh, I ordered you a new bed and mattress.” She smiled as if she was relieved that I finally stopped using that mattress. I think I had it since I was…about 3 years old.
“Oh…well…were will I sleep?” I asked in a sort of desperate voice.
“You can sleep in the spare room for now. Just until your new bed arrives.” She smirked.
“Ok!” She turned and walked out of my room. “Wait mum… how much did we get?” Referring to the money.
“10 million.” She turned again and walked downstairs.
“Wow!” I said under my breath.
We were rich! …Millionaires! …Ah! I could go visit Sarah now! …Well not now…but soon…or she could come here… This had to be a dream…I pinched myself. “Ouch!” Nope…it wasn’t a dream…it was a fantasy!
