"It's all on the peek, so bad I can taste it
While it eats me
How can I sleep
If I don't have dreams
I just have nightmares .. "

- staying up ( by; the neighborhood )

Chapter 4

I suddenly regretted dressing like a bumb as Jesse stood there with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist. There were droplets of water lingering on his bare chest, his hair was wet and tousled. "Ugh, what are you doing here?" He asked with annoyance.

"I'm here to drop Ariana off." My sister said as Jesse finally noticed her presence. "Wait, shes the girl who's coming to stay for a couple weeks !?" He asked in shock. "Sadly." I muttered. It didn't even click in my mind that Jesse's last name was Lorenzo, I had completely forgotten.

"Is that Lily with Ariana? Let them in!" I heard a female voice shout, I was guessing it was Jesses mom. Jesse scoffed and stepped aside, we walked in.

"Let me help you with that." Jesse said sarcastically, snatching my bags away.

"I'm so sorry Ms. Lorenzo, I wish I could stay and chat, but I really have to go," my sister said in a rush. "Oh no, that's completely fine, enjoy your trip." Mrs. Lorenzo said before hugging my sister goodbye. Lily turned to me, giving me a warning look. "Behave." She said sternly before walking out the door and leaving.

"Love you too sis," I muttered sarcastically.

Jesse came back downstairs with clothes on, "I thought there was gonna be a hot girl staying here, but instead I got you." He muttered. Ms. Lorenzo glared at him. "Show her to her room will you?" She asked jesse. He nodded reluctantly.

"C'mon sprinkle." He said, taking my hand and leading me up a flight of stairs.

We passed 2 rooms and then there was two at the end of the hall, one of them was labeled guest room. Suddenly someone came out of one of the rooms. It was a tall dark figure, he looked a little older than Jesse. He had black hair and blue eyes with San attractive stubble.

"Who's the babe?" He asked Jesse while staring me down. Jesse scowled and pulled me behind him, "She's staying here for a while. Leave her alone,"

"She looks like fun though," he whined, coming closer. "Mike." Jesse snapped.

"Fine, fine, I'll behave," Mike chuckled and strode past us.

"Was that your brother?" I asked. "No, it was my fairy fucking godmother , of course it was my brother." He snapped. "Calm your tits, you bipolar monkey" I muttered.

He suddenly shoved me against the hallway wall and let his lips hover over my own. ."what was that?" He asked huskily. I pushed him away, "s - stop."

He smirked slyly at me, "Here the room you'll be staying in." He said as he led me inside. I gasped, It was huge and so nice. It had beautiful baby blue walls, and white furniture. A big bed in the center of the room, a big tv and a walk in closet. "I love this room." I said in awe, Jesse gave me a small smile.

He scratched the back of his neck sheepishly, "well, uh, I'll let you get settled in." He said, before turning around. "Wait" I called before he left. "About yesterday, whatever thing we had planned, I don't think it's a good idea." I said hesitantly, he nodded his head. "Okay , I guess I can respect that. But if you ever change your mind, I'm always up for fucking with Blake's emotions." He replied.

"Okay, so were cool right? Freinds?" I asked. "Yeah, freinds." He muttered before leaving the room.

I stared at the door that he had just closed, unsure of how to feel. I then began to unpack my clothes and place them into the drawers, I almost clapped in glee when I noticed that there was a computer in the room on a desk.
