Just about that time, Seth appears outside where Mark and Ian are embraced in a hug...
SETH- “Hey guys, what the hell here, you two hiding something from me?”
Even though Seth is only joking, Ian doesn’t realize that he is and becomes very nervous.
IAN- “Oh, God, no! I would never do anything like that, I am so sorry. ---
MARK- “Ian... calm down, he was just kidding.”
SETH- “Sorry, didn’t mean to make you feel uncomfortable. So I take it from what I walked in on that Mark told you that we need you to move with us.”
IAN- “Yes, you both have made me very happy. I mean I am not going to be there forever, but once I graduate, I need to find work, and then get a place of my own, but no worrying about where I am going to go until then is a big relief!!”
SETH- “Get ready to work for your bed so to speak. We have a lot of work to do even before we can move in. By the way, Mark; I got the results back from the electric inspection. The entire house needs to be rewired, but they can start immediately.”
MARK - “Not what we had hoped, but at least they can get things moving.”
The three of them sat on the edge of the pool. Ian’s anxiety had been relieved and was excited now about the future and not having to move away right now.
IAN- “So once you close, what is the first step?”
SETH- “We need to get the electric completed, then once the plumbing inspection. Depending on that then we can move in. We will start by adding an addition on the main floor, extending the living room and adding a sun room.”
MARK- “The we are going to work on the exterior, new siding, windows, doors and then paint, rehabbing the floors.”
IAN- “So once the electric and plumbing are completed will we be moving in?”
SETH- “That’s the plan.”
IAN- “I would love to work on the basement area, seeing where that is where I will be staying.”
SETH- “That would be great, I have plans already made up, love to have your input on them.”
Ian was more than excited now to begin this new journey with his friends. If he could just shake this feeling he has towards Mark. Maybe this Jake guy could help with that...
