Chapter 37 Chapter 37
Jess’s POV
“See that’s why I am such a good friend who you love so much”
“Nothing like honking your own horn is there”
“What can I say I am so much higher up than you human vermin”
We both burst in to laughter.
“You can go with your family tonight if you want. I will be fine on my own”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, you have made me feel a lot better.
“Ok thanks. I did not like the thought of travelling alone. I will come and visit you in about a month”
“Sounds great. I’ll miss you”
“Yeah, I will miss you too. I will text and email you all the time though”
“Yeah, just think it will be like having two pen pals”
“Yeah, only I will be the best one aye?”
“God yes no competition”
I walked Hayley to the door and gave her a hug goodbye. I watched her as she walked to the end of the drive. Then in the time it took me to blink she was gone. I walked slowly inside and locked the door.
The next afternoon after school. Agent Grahams was waiting for me. His car was a new bright red Ferrari.
“Nice car sir”
“Yes, I think so. Now this afternoon I have a few things to show you that you will be receiving after you pass all your exams and come and work for us full time”
“What kind of things?”
“Now for that you will need to wait and see but I think that you will like them very much. Kieran helped me to choose them”
My heart gave a sharp jolt when it heard Kieran’s name. But I managed to keep my cool. “Cool, when do I get to see them?”
“We are going there now so buckle up” Grahams set off and I had never driven so fast in my life.
“Well sir you know how to drive this car, I will give you that”
“Thank you. I have loves Ferrari’s since I was just a small boy and I always told myself that I would own one when I was older”
“Yeah?”
“Yes, and I have been told that you like the old Kombi van like in Scooby doo”
“Yes, I love them I always dreamed that I will have an orange and black one”
“Well, my girl today your dreams come true” He pulled into a long drive
“Where are we?”
“In the countryside my girl Do you like it?”
“I love it wow. When I can afford a house, I would love to live out here”
“Well then looks like I am on a roll” We pulled up outside the house and I had to gasp. It was a cute little cottage. It was white with black shutters. I turned around and looked at the view. It had mountains on one side, and all of the other sides had fields.
“Wow this is amazing”
“Wait there is more come inside and let me show you around” He unlocked the door and held it open for me to go in first. We had entered a small entrance with two doors on either side.
“Okay take the door on the right first”
“Okay” I opened the door and stepped in to the lounge. The house was fully furnished by the look of it. The lounge had a nice-looking reclining leather lounge suit, a coffee table and a huge book case. It also had a huge 75” TV.
“What do you think?”
“I think that this looks amazing. I bet it’s nice in winter with the fire going”
“Well, you will have to let me know”
“What? I don’t follow”
“Well, my girl this in one of the things that we will be giving you when you pass all of your exams”
“What? Why are you giving me a house?”
“All of the agents are provided with a house. It’s part of the contract”
“Really?”
“Yes, now come on and look at the rest of the house”
“Sorry” We walked around the rest of the house, and I was amazed. It had three bedrooms, an office and an inside swimming pool.
“Ok now to the garage”
“Cool. My car will be happy being in a garage and I can work on it under cover instead of beside the road”
“Wait you work on your own car?”
“Of course. I don’t want a stupid guy at a garage working on it. Most of them have not got a clue. They just work there because they like cars. It’s stupid”
“I am very impressed. Next time this thing needs an oil change I will bring it over”
“It would be my honour sir. But I would have to take it for a test drive after just to make sure that it is all working ok”
“I would not think anything less from you Jess”
“Ok are you ready for your next surprise?”
“Yes, give it to me sir”
He opened the door, and I screamed like the girl that I was “My god my god it’s my god the best thing ever” I burst in to tears as I ran my hand over the Kombi’s glossy exterior.
“So, I am taking the tears to be happy tears and that you like it?”
“I love it. Thank you so much”
“I am glad. Remember though you have to pass your exams to get them. When is your first exam?”
“In four weeks”
“Ok from now I want to only work with us on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The rest of the time I want you to be studying. These next few months are going to be hard but they will be worth it in the long run”
“Yes sir. Thank you again”
“It is my pleasure. Now let’s get you home so that you can hit the books”
“Yes sir” I could not believe how much I was getting of this company. Kieran going away for a bit was looking better and better as I would have found it hard to study with him around. I would have wanted to do other things. Grahams dropped me home and speed off. As soon as I was inside I pulled my books out and started to study.
