John pushes the button 15. He explains that he is living on the top floor with Lewis. There are only two flats there, theirs. Apparently, this building is only for Mercedes employees. The company provides free housing for everyone in the factory. There is an onsite gym and pool, a small café and a garden. It seems very luxurious; Mercedes must have tons of money. We get out of the elevator and go to the closest door. John opens it and we enter the flat.
- I am sorry for the mess; I wasn't expecting any visitors nor any lost sisters. – he says nervously.
- That's okay, you know that I have seen worse.
It is obvious that this is a bachelor pad. It is huge but very minimalistic. There isn't any decoration which would indicate the presence of a woman. There are all kinds of workout equipment scattered around the living room. On the kitchen island there are several take out boxes indicating that he doesn't really cook.
- Let me show you around. Living room, kitchen. – he says walking towards the back. – Bathroom, my rooms. – he points towards to doors. – And this is the guest bedroom which is now yours.
We enter the room. It is big and bright. There is a king sized bed in the middle, a desk in front of the window and 2 closets. It looks amazing. He said that he has a good job but I wasn't expecting this. The whole flat looks like something straight out of a movie. I even have my own bathroom. I have a shower and a bathtub. I mean both. Who has both in a fucking guest bedroom?
- Do you like it? – asks John leaning against the door frame.
- I love it, thank you so much.
- Are you hungry? We could order some pizza for dinner.
- Sounds good. – I smile at him.
He leaves the room and I start packing out still unable to believe that this is going to be my room. I put away everything and I sit down at the desk. The view is amazing, I can see the whole town, including the factory. I am deep in my thoughts when my brother knocks.
- The food is here. Come before it gets cold. I promise that this is the best pizza that you ever had in your life.
I follow him into the kitchen and we start eating. I bite into the slice and I have to say, he was right. This is the best thing I have ever tasted in my whole life. I have to run a lot to burn all these calories because I will definitely live only on this pizza from now on. We are eating and chatting when the door opens.
- Hey Johnny, I have been looking for you everywhere. Where the hell have you...? – he stops when he sees me.
Damn, this man is so handsome that he should be forbidden. I recognise him because I have seen photos of him before but they are nothing compared to reality. He is slim but toned. I can see the veins on his arms as he walks closer. Brown eyes have always been my weakness but his are like out of this world. He smiles widely, showing his perfect, white teeth.
- I am sorry, I didn't know you had company. I am Lewis. – he introduces himself.
- About that, Lewis, meet my sister, Sara. – says John.
His eyes go wide when he hears the information.
- Your sister? You never told me that you have a sibling. – says Lewis.
- I only found out about her today. I had to drive back home. She will live with me. – explains my brother.
I don't know how much Lewis knows about my brother's past or about our family but it seems enough not to ask any other questions.
- Nice to meet you. – I say standing up, giving him two kisses.
He is quite tall; I have to stand on my tiptoes to reach him. His scent throws me off. I don't know how to explain this but he smells like home, like a true home not as my fucking old life. I feel relaxed, safe. He joins us and we keep talking for an hour, getting to know each other. He is 32, the same age as my brother, and he loves his job. He loves driving and fast cars. When I told him about my love for languages he made me promise that I will teach him some Spanish.
- I mean, that language is beautiful. It just sounds so nice, and don't let me get started on the music. – says Lewis.
- Actually, music was the reason I started studying it. – I laugh. – I just love it, and the culture and the food...
- Ah yes, unfortunately, they don't really have many vegan options. Those guys love meat.
I make a mental note, that he is vegan. I am planning on cooking for them, we can't live only on take outs no matter how delicious they are. We finish the conversation and I go to my room. I take a long shower, washing down all of today's stress. I go to bed and instantly fall asleep in my new home.
