Close your mouth; you will catch a fly. I chuckle at their faces. We bought a giant penthouse, that is two stories high. Super expensive, but we all have money, our own money.
The first thing you see is the massive open living room. You can see everyone from it, duo to the wall replaced with floor to ceiling windows. To the left, there is a brick wall, with a fireplace and a TV on top. There are three sofas and two love chairs surrounding a coffee table.
To the right, there is a white dining table with chairs. One of the windows is a door to a balcony. The balcony contains a fire pit with a grill pot on the side. There is also a rocking chair and a rug.
Near us are the stairs that lead to our bedrooms. I walk past the dining table and single them to follow me. A wall separates the living room and the kitchen.
The kitchen is in modern style and spacious that offers us a lot of free room to work. It has an island in the middle that carries a sink, six built-in cutting boards, drawers, and cabinets, as well as a built-in trash can. Left to the island, there are two big sinks, an oven, a stove, a microwave, and a coffee machine. As well as top and bottom and top cabinets that are now empty.
A big closet is actually the fridge built-in. Next to the fridge is a door that leads to the pantry. To the right, stand a big dining table with 24 chairs. And a lot of space.
"This is amazing Ari," says Ben.
"Amazing is an understatement of the year! This place is heaven on earth," says Anna, and Andrea nods. "You haven't seen it all. There is much more to see." I reply and walk to a glass door at the far end of the kitchen.
The kitchen is also with floor to ceiling windows. I open the door and reveal the pool and hot tub. It's also a balcony, but with more features than the other one. For example, the lights are led lights. There is also a shower and pool chairs, a popsicle freezer, and a candy cabinet.
"Well, I know where I'm going to spend my summer this year," Mel spoke. And I laugh. "Let's continue, shall we?" I exit the terrace and return to the stairs. Under the stairs, there is a secret room. It's a security control center, as well as a safe room and library. But that is only for the house residents.
Walking to the side of the brick wall, there is a door that you can't see from afar. "What's in here?" Andrea and Mel ask at the same time. "This is the library and game room," I answer. This is my favorite room in the house; it's sound-proof making it the perfect place to read. "Well, let's go to my room; we have a lot to do."
We leave the game room and go upstairs. My room is now bare, but the boxes litter the floor. I have a lot of space to occupy. I went to my wardrobe and open the doors. "So, two with me and two with Elli; that way everything will go faster."
I open each box, so I will know what goes where. "Can you take those boxes to the wardrobe?" I point to the 8 boxes of clothes. Andrea and Mel nod and I smile at them. I connect my phone to the speakers and play Maria Becerra mix.
I open another box and recognize my work desk. I take it out and start attaching the legs. It is pretty easy to build. I put it on the side, where there is a cube-like structure in the wall. It was designed for things like a study area. I open more boxes and take out everything, as Mel and Andrea help me. I take the bathroom necessities and put them in place.
We have a few boxes left, so I leave them and go to the kitchen. I open the fridge and take out the water bottles. I pick up my phone; press order on the grocery list I made online. I dial a pizzeria and order 4 trays. Andre is supposed to be here later, and I'm sure hospital food sucks.
Ending the call I go back upstairs and enter Elli's room to hand them water. I look at the progress, same as me. Only a few boxes left. "Here, drink. I ordered pizza, so finish the rest, and come down." Walking to my room, I ask Mel to pick up the trash and put it aside as I finish unboxing the rest.
My phone dings and I flush him out. The guard says the pizza delivery is here. We just finish, so that's good. "Let's go, the pizza is here. Call the other," I run down, to open the door. In front of stands a cute pizzeria employee. She has brown dove eyes, a chubby body, and a cute bottom nose. I hand her a tip of 50 pounds. She smiles at me, and I take the pizzas from her.
I close the door with my leg and go to the living room. I put three trays on the coffee table and the other on the kitchen island for Andre.
We all sit on the sofas, and I put a chapter on Supernatural on the TV. We eat in silence, a bit tired from organizing our rooms. We finish eating and I ask, "do you like your room, lipstick?"
She smiles big, and there are sparkles in her eyes. "I love it! Thank you guys for helping us." She thanks the group, and I smile content. "Anna and I need to use the toilet. Do you have one down here?" Ben asks, and Anna blushes at his word.
"Disgusting, I know what you want to do. There is a toilet in the game room." I scrunch my face.
"Eww, Ben! Seriously?" Mel barfs. They laugh and go to the game room while the rest of us make sounds of protest. Just thinking of it makes me shudder. They can't keep their hands off of each other. We decide to clean and throw away the trash. We go upstairs to take the trash out of the rooms. I go back downstairs and open the doors of the penthouse. There is a trash slide outside of every apartment.
We throw everything and go back inside, just as Anna and Ben come out of the game room. Their clothes are messy, Anna's hair is disheveled. Clearly, they had sex.
"You reek of sex. You better fresh up before we leave," Mel says in disgust.
"Fine, it's not my fault I want to worship every part of my girlfriend's body."
"Ew, ew, ew! Why the fuck will you tell me that? I don't need to know about your sex life." Anna's face flushes red, but there is nothing but love and adoration in her eyes.
I know neither of them will dare to cheat on each other. Ben will kill himself before he cheats on Anna. Our mum raised us better than that. Honestly and communication are the key. My phone beeps, I look at it, mum sent a text; she wants them home.
"That's enough. Mum wants you home. It's already past 18:00 and you have homework to do; let's go."
