Unexpected Guest

Chapter 3 - Wow!

"It's gorgeous, isn't it?" Maria asked.

"Yeah it is." I was still amazed. "This is the best view I've ever seen."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We finally got to Camden Town and let me tell you something, there are lot of punks and goths here. It was kinda cool but creepy at the same time. It was like they could smell fresh and unfamiliar meat when they stared at me as Maria and I drove by.

"Don't worry, you get used to it." Maria reassured me.

We drove under a bridge which had 'Camden Town' written and drove past the famous Camden Market.

5 minutes later, we drove up and down a huge hill that looked pretty popular by the tourists taking pictures and couples sitting on the green grass.

Maria pulled over, in front of a green house that looked three stories high.

"Wow, you're house looks...." I was left speechless, "Wow!"

"Thank you, Joshua. It is wow." Maria replied with a smile and a little giggle. "Let's get your stuff and head inside."

I went to the boot of the car and got my suitcase and backpack, I headed to the front door with Maria opening the door.

As the door opened, I walked into a dream house.

Maria closed the door behind me and said, "You can set your bags on the floor and I'll give you the grand tour of your home for six months."

I set my bags down and I took in the first view of the house

The hallway was painted cream and the atmosphere was clear and welcoming. There was pictures of nature, trees and landscapes of an unknown place. I couldn't help but admire the photographs, it looked so professional and well presented.

Maria tapped me in the soldier, properly wondering why I was staring into thin air. I turned to face her with an apolagetic face.

"Sorry, I was just admiring the photographs." Fuck I must sound like a pussy.

"Don't apologise, that's everyone's response when they see those pictures." Good, I'm not the only one. She walked off to begin the tour but then she turned back around to face me. "Oh, and if you're wondering where those pictures are set, that's my home land Mortagua."

I gave her a confused face. Mortagua? Never heard of it. "Portugal."

As soon as she said that, I was like "Ohhh, okay. So you're from Portugal?" She nodded. "Now, let's begin the tour.

The first room we went to was the living room. It was a good size for like a family of five, but as far as I was aware of, she was the only one living here. It was a modern family decor with olive green and cream walls. There was a 34" television and a PS3. Score! "Whenever you want to play, feel free." She's so nice. "Thanks!".

The next room we went to was my favourite room of all, the kitchen. It was huge with mahogany cabinets and counters. The tiles were peach and white. She directed me where everything was, the cereals, baking stuff, spices, plates and cups, cutlery and pots and pans. I might start learning how to cook. I went to the fridge and saw a fully stocked fridge. Fuck yeah, I'm gonna love it here.

We went to the dining room and there was a large table. "The dining room is only used for family-get-togethers, birthdays and Christmas." She dining me. But whose birthdays would she be celebrating other than her own?

We went up the semi-spiral stairs and got to the first floor. The hallway was the same as the hallway downstairs.

There were three rooms, one was super pink that Nicki Minaj's hair would camaflage the walls, it might be a guest room, and the second room was red, black and white with a king size bed, camouflage it was Maria's room.
