Dialogue- Prompt 2

Prompt #2

Real Estate agent- What do you think of this place?

Alejandra- hmmm there are some features that I like but i’m not sure.  I don’t think I love it. 

Real Estate Agent- well is there something in particular you do not like? Perhaps the contractors can make these changes.

Alejandra- I like the big windows which allow for natural light to come in and for our guests to sit by the windows. I believe it will draw them in and lose themselves with the scenery. Now, I don’t like the floor and the pipes visibility. But to be honest, I am undecided with what i would like. I just know this place doesn’t feel like it’s the one.

Real Estate Agent- Okay, don’t worry. We will keep looking and find the one for you.

To be continued….

 

Elise-Imagery prompt

Elise is 30 years old, she comes from a big family, she has four aunts, and two uncles from her Mother’s side. Now let’s not even get into details about the rest of the family. Alright! if you insist, do you really want to know how many cousins she has just from her mom’s side?? She has 15 cousins!  As for her dad’s side of the family, she has two aunts and two uncles, cousins just ONE of her uncles has 13 kids! The rest only have two each, so in total over 20 cousins from her dad’s side, so yeah she comes from a big family. Anyways let me get to the real story here, this was just for entertainment, to get your attention. Too late now, I own you (insert mischievous laugh). 

Elise is closest to her aunt Euri who lives in Massachusett. Her and her aunt have always had a special bond. As a kid, her aunt would take Elise with her shopping and on vacation. Elise and Euri look so much alike that they can pass as mother and daughter. Her aunt Euri is married to Lucas, together they have four children. Fraternal twins Ethan and Russell, the third youngest is Dariel and finally their youngest princess Marie. Elise visited her at least every other month. At first she used to travel by private transportation, a 16 passenger van that picked you up at home and dropped you off at your family/friends doorstep all for $40.00. 

The company has a schedule that varies from 4:00a.m, 7:00a.m,9:00a.m, 12:00p.m, 4:00p.m. 7:00p.m, since Elise is leaving after work she reserves the 7:00p.m slot.  Ugh do i really have to tell you about the bus ride? Okay, if you insist, now, since Elise won’t be home by the time the bus drivers begin to pick up the passengers, she has to go to the office. It’s still not bad for the price, especially because during the ride you can fall asleep or watch a movie on your phone, because you are not drivingggg (imagine singing voice). Now, once inside the van it is dark and the only lights you see are those of people on their phones and the external lights from the cars either behind you or passing you. The driver is the typical dominican, with the music as loud as it can be almost topping death metal kind of loud music. The one that leaves you death from one ear after leaving a concert or club. 

Anyways, Elise is now asleep, she wakes up to the first stop in haverhill, massachusetts. She knows she is the next one to be dropped, she realizes it has been snowing. It is the light and fluffy snow, soon to be messy and dirty because by then it will be slushy. Ugh, she hates when the snow gets like that. It is beautiful while flying and on the trees but she hates the aftermath. Anyways, they are now entering Tewksbury street, the street where her aunt lives on. Her house, is the one on the right hand side, with a white fence for privacy. The driveway has easy access as she does not have it partitioned off with any doors or gates. The driver drops off Elise in front of the driveway, there is a front entrance but that is mainly used for the upstairs tenants. Elise walks to the back entrance/porch, in the driveway there are 5 cars including the upstairs tenants car. A beige color minivan is parked to the left of the driveway, all the other cars are parked either in the middle or closest to the fence on the right hand side. There we have a honda crv, honda accord, and oops i forgot the other car model. As Elise approaches the back door entrance, she sees what she already knew would be there, a case of empty corona bottles. Oh boy, they can drink a ton, or should she say, “we can drink!”. Before she knocks, she must open the screen door which has the mesh falling off on the left hand side corner, and has a couple of holes which defeats the purpose of the screen. 

Since it is early morning, and the rest of the family is asleep, she calls her aunt on her cell phone. Outside of the house you can hear the bedroom door open, followed by the kitchen door and then finally the backdoor opens. Her aunt Euri opens the door, her hair is tied up but part of her hair is coming out of the pony tail. Euri has the chinkiest eyes when smiling, her white teeth show, and then she opens her arms to welcome Elise into her home.

Elise and Antonio – character description

Character 1- Elise is a 28 year old woman about 5’5 ft tall with big round almond colored eyes, dark circles inherited from her grandmother, with a smile described as beautiful but she fails to see this herself as she is self conscious. She has blonde curly hair about shoulder length, a body described as athletic, and voluptuous but not exaggerated. Often described as sweet, and bright “was that their way of saying not stupid but not smart either?”. Outspoken once she feels comfortable within the group. 

She has the regular 9-5, monday through friday job answering calls and emails from clients in this case doctors and admins. Sometimes she wonders how did they get this far in life when she gets the most mind blowing call/request! She isn’t unhappy but she knows it is not a job that she would like for the rest of her life. Elise  has aspirations like to own an apartment, and a coffee shop (location is still tbd). But is aware that she is not making the right financial decisions, she guilts herself for not taking the initiative to save, and for buying clothes on clearance for as cheap as it may be, it adds up. She doesn’t think twice when shopping but for other decisions that may be beneficial in the long run, she thinks about longer than she should. 

 After work, she goes to the gym and works out on the elliptical machine for about thirty minutes. She selects her favorite music app, dj-lobo and plays her favorite genre- merengue tipico. Once she is done with the workout, she checks herself out in the mirror, looking at her body, feeling good because she chose to go to the gym, but hoping for different results when she doesn’t eat 100% healthy.  Once she is done talking to herself in self admiration but not really believing herself, she collects her bag from the locker, heads downstairs, looks at the girl on the elliptical and admire her physique and dedication, she then looks at the staff smiling and says good night. Walking home, she looks up in search of the moon, sees the carsand the street lights. This makes her smile and be grateful for being alive and having a family. During the walk home,  she is already thinking about what kind of chaos the house will be in with her sister and two kids, and how stressed her mom must be feeling. Her mom is a neat freak and her youngest daughter the complete opposite. In the living room lies the mess of action figures and kitchen toys, headphones, ipads playing loudly which no one is using it, and their clothes and shoes are on the floor and couch. Elise thinks “well so much for working out and de stressing!”.

Character 2- Antonio is 6ft tall, slender looking but toned, big dark brown eyes, with a smile that lights up a room, and a dimple on his right cheek. He wants to invest in stocks in hopes of hitting it big and just live off the winnings for the rest of his life. He is a police officer at night which doesn’t really allow much time to study and invest. His voice is of a smart, intellectual, sarcastic arse (I know, sort of contradicting). The type of person you sort of dislike but love at the same time.
