*LIZZIE'S POV*
7:45 am
I woke up in an unfamiliar room, but then I remembered last night's events. I'm scared as to how Kella will react. Will she hate me? I don't know, but I have to tell her. I emerged from the room, and saw a staircase leading down. I walked down to the next floor and knocked on the closest door. Gabi opened the door, dressed out in a pantsuit, I assume she was heading to work.

"Good morning Elizabeth, what can I do for you?" She greeted me. "I was wondering if you had clothes for me? I was gonna take a shower but I realized I didn't have any clothes." I asked, kinda intimidated by her height. Kella's family is really tall except for her, I wonder why. My thoughts were interrupted when Gabi was waving her hand in front of my face.

"Hmm? Sorry, I was lost in my mind." I blinked a few times looking up at her. "It's all good, but spare clothes should be in the room's closet, right side is the women's side, filled with brand new clothes." She told me. "I see, well thank you, I don't think I'll see you later?" I said gesturing to her clothes.

She looked down, "Oh! I don't leave for a few hours, I go in whenever, and seeing as our sister doesn't wake up early, I wait for her to be ready for the day before I go."

I simply nodded to her words before I left to shower.

*KELLA'S POV*
I woke up in my bed, but I thought I fell asleep on the couch. Oh well, I thought. I assumed Gabi or Bella brought me upstairs. I yawned and stretched, raising my upper half out of bed while leaving my legs in the warmth of my comforter and blanket pile.

I lazily got up and went to pull some clothes out of my closet. (Imagine whatever I don't wanna image claim clothes. I imagine a shirt with the words "love wins" and jeans with large rips in them and a rainbow belt) I hopped into the shower, taking my time and slowly waking up. I wrapped myself in a towel and bushed my teeth, feeling a little less tired.

I was finally done and I looked at myself in the mirror. Damn I look good. I thought to myself. I made my way out of my room, making my way down the stairs to the kitchen. (For easy access, there is staircase in kitchen, like a small spiral one in the corner)

I was met with my sisters sitting at the barstools. Gabi is dressed out in her suit sipping her coffee, scrolling through her phone; Bella was ready in casual clothes with her own thermos with tea, watching the TV.

"Morning Kells," Gabi said. "Hey," I replied. Bella told me, "Be aware, there's someone else upstairs getting ready." "Alright?" I answered with a questioning tone. I poured myself a cup of coffee, twisted the cap on and sat alongside them.

"Shit, I'll be right back. I forgot to grab my sketchbook." I told my sister before sprinting up the stairs. As I was heading towards my room, I knocked into someone. "Crap. I am so sorry." I told them. I looked up to see, "LIZZIE?!" I shouted. I see her wince at how loud I am.

"Sorry, my sisters told me someone was here but I didn't expect it to be you." I told her, rubbing the back of my neck. She laughed and picked me up off the ground. "Yeah, sorry about that. I stopped by last night but you were already sleeping so Bella let me stay the night," she calmly stated. I embraced her in a hug, inhaling her scent of strawberries and lavender. (I wanna just see her irl and my life would be complete)

Her tall stature made me feel really small, and I almost regressed, but I let go of the hug before that happened. "Do you wanna head down for breakfast? We can have our chef come up a little early if you want." I told her. "Oh no, I'm all good, I just need a cup of coffee and I'll be set for today."

"Okay, we'll let me just grab something real quick and we'll walk down together," I said. I sprinted to the end of the hallway and swerved into my room, narrowly missing the wall. I went to my desk and grabbed the sketchbook before dashing out back to Lizzie, nearly hitting her again.

*LIZZIE'S POV*
I giggled at Kella's antics, Clumsy girl, I thought. She came back with a pad under her arm, I wanted to know what was in it, but I'm not gonna invade her private space.

"Ready?" I inquired. "Yep," she told me before she sped across the hallway to the other end. I tilted my head since she opened a door but she didn't walk in immediately. "You coming Mrs. Olsen?" She asked in a posh tone.

I made my way towards her and looked to see an elevator and staircase sitting there.
(Glass, circular with a tube surrounding it, very classy; marble steps wrapping around the elevator) "Wow," I whispered under my breath. We walked in as I took in my surroundings. A large foyer, a living room with a large TV hanging on the wall, and some doors leading here and there.

The lift soon stopped and we walked out towards a corridor of rooms. We walked into one and walked into the kitchen. Jeez, I thought. I saw Kella's sisters sitting by the counter while she approached the coffeemaker. She poured a cup and handed it to me. "Thanks," I told her before I took a sip.

BELLA'S POV*
Call it sister intuition, but I could sense the nerves radiating from Kella, and from the glance Gabi is giving between everyone in the room, she knows too.

I clear my throat, "Me and Gabi are gonna head out now, hopefully we'll see you later Lizzie?" I said. She nodded and we walked out to our cars.

*LIZZIE'S POV*
"Umm..." I trailed off. "So... What do you wanna do now?" She said. I took a minute to think. "How about we...
