Alex went all the way to The Bronx from JFK airport in a cab. The cab cost for sure was high, but nothing could be done about it.
Narcissistic or not, he was an attractive young man and would catch the attention of many women and men alike. This had happened a lot in his past life and was bound to happen now as well.
Add to that, he now had his wife Melissa with him. She looked no less than a Goddess and Alex didn't want to take any risks by going to the subway.
Of course, he knew he would have to go out with her some or the other day. However, there was still some time and currently, he had a good amount of money and there was a whole day left for college to start, so he decided to hire a cab and house hunt in The Bronx.
Alex's preferred choice was Brooklyn or Manhattan to live in, but his college was in The Bronx and he didn't want to commute too much, so he decided to live there itself.
By noon, the two reached their Borough and went to a quiet restaurant to have lunch together.
Getting out of the restaurant, they met their agent and went house hunting.
Alex had seen pictures prior to meeting the agent and had decided on a few houses. They were now going to check out the houses they liked.
They were in downtown and it was bustling with activities. They checked out an apartment that had a direct entry from the roadside.
As soon as Melissa entered and saw it, she shook her head. "Nope. Absolutely not."
Alex was surprised with her reaction and the same was with the agent.
"Ma'am, this—"
"Let's go to another property." Alex interrupted the agent and didn't let him finish.
The agent was confused. They didn't even let him finish and they had only just stepped inside the house and didn't even see anything.
He couldn't refuse his clients and quietly left the property to see another.
When in the car, Melissa wondered why Alex didn't ask her why she refused. Curious, she put her hand on his and looked at him.
Alex looked back at her and smiled, knowing full well what was going on inside her head.
He didn't satisfy her curiosity and just winked at her.
Melissa pouted in response and Alex found it really cute. He smiled and pinched her cheek.
Melissa swatted his hand away and turned to look out of the window.
Alex turned to look outside as well and check how the new neighbourhood they were going was.
As to why Alex so quickly rejected the previous house, the answer was simple.
For the most parts, Melissa never complained or rejected anything and just went with whatever Alex liked. Since she was his wife now and disliked something, Alex wasn't going to convince her to change her mind and respect her decision.
Though he was curious as well about why she rejected the house, it didn't matter much and he cut the useless talks, putting his focus onto the important matters.
The two saw a few more properties and eventually decided to settle down in a villa in Riverdale, right beside the Hudson River.
The villa was old fashioned and the neighbourhood was quiet. The rent was a little on the expensive side but wifey liked this place, so Alex didn't think much and signed the deal.
The agent Alex found was good and since he didn't give this guy a hard time, the agent also found Alex to be pleasing.
They met the home owners that day itself and they found this young couple pleasing as well.
Alex had a chat with the owners over dinner in an expensive hotel.
During that time, he told them that he had plans on buying a house here and if they were interested in selling it.
Melissa was surprised with it and gave Alex a look that read, 'we don't have that much money!'
Alex just winked at her and didn't elaborate anything.
The owners were surprised and asked Alex on what basis he was asking this. Alex said he had a business running and was also a med student in the city's top university.
They were amazed and eventually, after some talking, quoted a price of three million dollars for their 25,000 sq ft villa, surprising Alex.
This was a steal!
Villas in this neighbourhood would usually go for five million dollars and above for that price.
Even if Alex bought it now and sold it, he would have a profit of minimum two million dollars, which was 100% of the amount he put in.
Initially Alex had plans to rent, but with this sweet offer, he changed his mind and told the home owners that he would like to buy it this week itself.
Melissa had her brows knitted and pinched Alex's thigh, letting him know that he should be careful and not jump into things unnecessarily.
Alex took her hand that was pinching him under the table and interlocked his fingers with her. He leaned closer to her ears and said, "it'll be fine, honey. Don't worry."
The confidence with which Alex said that, not only did it give Melissa the assurance she needed, she also was impressed by her husband, who was nothing but a virgin nerd until a few days ago.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm Melissa thought to herself while looking at her husband talk so confidently with the home owners, 'did me taking my husband's innocence change him? Or was he this confident before as well and just didn't show his cards? Even after reincarnation, he still possesses this air of mystery around him. Oof… how many times is he gonna impress me?'
The fangirl's thoughts weren't heard by the star Alex and he was busy making a deal.
As the dinner came to an end, Alex shook hands with the owners and agreed upon purchasing the house at two million dollars. Whatever would be the taxes, agent commission, and other stuff would all be handled by him as well since the owners were selling the house at a cheaper price.
Alex agreed with it and the owners said that they would sign the documents as soon as he paid them the two million dollars.
The owners left after the dinner and Alex went to his suite in the hotel they were dining in along with Melissa.
It was a luxurious suite and after lying down on the soft bed, Melissa only had one thing going on in her mind:
'Sex!'
She eyed her husband like a vicious predator and was ready to pin him down and eat him up.
Alex knew something like this would happen and immediately went to hug his wife from behind, not giving her a chance to attack him.
Holding her tightly, Alex said, "honey, we'll be staying in this hotel for the whole week. I have my classes early in the morning tomorrow and it's 10:30 pm. I really need to sleep, otherwise… it'll be a disaster."
Melissa clicked her tongue. "Cheh, I totally forgot my husband is still in school."
Alex wrinkled his nose. That sounded wrong, but was also not wrong.
However, after saying so, Melissa fell back along with Alex and turned over to be on top of him.
Pinning his hands to the top, she looked into his eyes seductively and said, "it's 10:30 pm, you sleep by 11 pm. There's a good thirty minutes, we can go for at least two rounds. I am not going to hear any excuses."
Alex wouldn't lie, his wife was logical and her reasoning was correct. He could only sigh in defeat and say, "Yes, ma'am."
Melissa leaned closer and bring her lips just a few centimetres from his, let out a hot breath and said, "it's not ma'am, it's mommy."
"You're gonna call me mommy for the whole night, my dear husband."
"…"
