Iris sneezed lightly as she entered her new house, " Who's thinking of me "? Rachel who was behind her laughed as she patted her back, " Maybe it's all the suckers you swindled this time ".
Iris laughed nervously as she went in, " I didn't necessarily swindle anybody ". Rachel raised an eyebrow as she pointed at Iris left wrist, " How am I supposed to believe you when you've added a few more charms since the last time I saw you "?
Iris retracted her hand and entered with the luggage, " What I've been up too for the past year is not important. Let's just move in ". Iris felt satisfied as she entered her new half sized villa. Though it wasn't as big as the usual villa, it wasn't small either with plenty of rooms.
It had an open floor plan with high wood covered ceilings and classy chandeliers hanging high and completely out of reach though they seemed closer from up the wide circular shaped stairs. The kitchen was to the right and the first thing you saw after entering.
There were no doors except for a small takeout like entrance opposite the stove looking directly into the living room. Jeremy and Felicity insisted on it so she had no choice but to comply.
Rachel whistled as she looked around the spotless well furnished living room, " This place is amazing. You keep getting richer girlfriend ". Jeremy who was jumping on the sofa laughed loudly, " Of course she does. Mommy made a lot of money writing a wedding speech for a prince ".
Felicity who was trying to climb the kitchen counter to open the fridge nodded in agreement, " Yeah, then she wrote a memorial for a very handsome General ". They continued what they were doing as Rachel looked at Iris with shock.
" You were very busy ". The twins laughed, saying at the same time " And she wrote a song for a popstar ". Jeremy stopped bouncing on the bed and looked back at Felicity who was also staring back at him, " Stop copying me ".
They glared at each other then looked at Iris, " Mommy, (s)he's copying me ". They glared st each other again, angry with the other for being so in synch with the other.
Iris sighed, standing in their middle " Enough you two ". They both pouted then resumed what they were doing. Rachel only stared at Iris in a daze while Iris avoided eye contact. Rachel suddenly spoke enthusiastically, " Don't you guys wanna pick your rooms ".
Jeremy and Felicity nodded before running and climbing up the stairs yelling at each other. Iris cried internally [ Babies, how could you just leave your mommy here? ] " A handsome general huh ".
Iris laughed guiltily as she walked into the kitchen, " If it makes you feel any better, he's not that good looking " [ He's hot ] Rachel slammed her hands on the marble center top in the kitchen, " That doesn't make me feel better ".
She suddenly looked down at Iris' charm bracelet and grabbed her wrist, " Which of these charms belong to the general "? Iris bit her lip then laughed, not saying anything. Rachel looked at each of the charms carefully when she saw a silver bullet.
She gasped as she shook Iris hand, making the charms jingle " Really, did you at least bring me a souvenir "? Iris nodded, taking back her hand " Of course I did but it'll have to wait ".
Rachel shook her head as she sat on the counter in front of Iris, " My schedule is free for at least three days. You better start talking ". Iris took a deep breath and ran towards the stairs, " Have you kids picked your rooms yet? Let mommy help you ".
Rachel leaped off the counter and after Iris who was already at the top of the stairs, " Don't you dare Iris Fetti. Get your ass back down here and tell me what happened ".
