Build’n’Share Challenge #47 - A Home of Our Own
A Home of Our Own
Reginald Worthington the 3rd. You 'hmm' softly to yourself, trying to picture what your next appointment might look like. It never worked but it was a fun mental exercise that let you put aside the last appointment in favor of the next. With a name like that he probably came from a privileged family, so… sun streaked blonde hair and a Caribbean tan. Maybe some designer clothes and shoes worth your car. Laughing at yourself, you give instructions to show him in when Rose calls back that he is here.
The young man that walks in has no resemblance to your mental image. Instead of sun streaked perfectly coiffed, his dark chocolate hair is short but in need of a trim. He pushes his glasses up and brushes his bangs out of his eyes before shaking your hand. Instead of designer labels, his jeans and shirt are well worn and you’re pretty sure that his sneakers are older than your car. You sit back down at your desk after the pleasantries are over. “So, Mr Worthington, what can I do for you?”
He gives you a charming, boyish smile that completes his cute nerd look. “Just call me Reggie. Some of my friends have had you build them houses, and they highly recommended you.”
You grin, “I love referrals. Mind if i ask who?
“The Ryunotens and Jesus Wu.”
“I know them all quite well. I saw Dream not that long ago actually. She was glowing.”
He chuckles, “Yeah. She’s really excited about being a mom. It took Mike about 10 tries before he could finally tell me about it in a coherent manner.” That depiction of the clever, quick talking lawyer makes you laugh. “Anyway, my fiancée and I are in need of a house.”
“Congratulations.”
“Thanks.” He pulls out his phone and shows you a picture of an Asian woman that very much embodies the word gorgeous. “Aisu and I have never really had a home, being street rats for the majority of our lives. She thinks I am here looking for an apartment, but I want to surprise her with a home of our own. Especially since we are expecting.”
“That’s wonderful!”
“Yeah. A little earlier than planned but we are both big on the idea of having a large family and you have to start somewhere.”
“Very true.” You click your pen, “What are you looking for in the way of a house?”
“Well, see, that’s the rub. I’ve always liked a Suburbia thing and Aisu prefers more Japanese aesthetics, so if you could blend it into something comfortable and family friendly that would be great. I think, you know, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths should be a good start right? And a backyard for the kids to play in. And I need somewhere to work.”
“Like a study?”
“Kind of. See I got lucky and got an apprenticeship at a computer repair firm that covered my education. I’ve been with them for about 10 years now, but the owner is selling to a larger company. I’m being cut as a redundant position.” He scowls for a moment before perking back up. “But the severance package is giving us this fresh start. So I’m going to start a repair business here and I need someplace to work where little hands wont be grabbing at delicate parts.”
“Gotcha. Any other desires?”
“Not really. Aisu’s very clever when it comes to domestic stuff so she will probably fill in anything I’ve missed when she gets here.”
“Okay. Did you have a budget for this?”
He thinks for a minute. “Um, about 40k i think. I might be able to add more to it, but I want to make sure we have a nest egg for when the baby comes you know?”
“40k will be fine,” you assure him.
