Someone To Stay [bxb]

Chapter 2

" This is your bedroom ." Joshua announces, raising his hands wide and stepping inside the huge blue themed bedroom .

It looks so surreal. I have never had a whole room to myself, especially this big . My mother got me my own bedroom because I kept nagging her about it . If I didn't, I doubt that she would have ever acted on it.

" This is my bedroom?" I gape around, trying my hardest not to jump on the inviting bed. I guess that's for another time.

The guy watches me carefully and somehow that makes me uncomfortable so I stare back at him with a questioning look .

" What?" I raise my hands up in confusion . He simply shakes his head and gazes away .

" You don't look anything like our father ." He says, that takes me by surprise .

What's there to say? Of course Lizzie and I are very much different , even with the guy standing in front of me . He has blond curly hair and a pair of piercing grey eyes while I have dirty brown hair and boring brown eyes . I always thought so too, looking at how Lizzie fits in right in this family. She also possesses the same facial appearance as him, the difference is that, her hair is long and smooth .

" Oh" that's all I manage to say . Josh just shrugs back in return and leaves me alone, finally. Now I can drool all over my new room in peace and maybe, even jump on the bed. I am tempted but I don't.

I unpack, the walking closet they provided me with is too big . I have little clothes for myself . Five pairs of black jeans and a few handover shirts I received from my neighbours . By the time I am done, the closet looks as empty as ever . I guess maybe as time goes on, I will have a few clothes . Looking at the fact that Josh is around my height, he wouldn't mind giving away old clothes? I could only hope so . I never shy away from handouts . Beggars can't be choosers after all.

" Oh hey Lucas ." A cheery female voice snaps me back to reality . I turn around to find a rather short but curvey woman standing by my new bedroom door .

She has long shiny blonde hair tied in a messy ponytail . A fancy red dress that shows off her body and a pair of black heels . When I finally meet her eyes, I can't help but notice the grim look on her face .

" You need a shower ." She says without wiping the look off her face . " Maybe two, I don't know, your call . Everything is in the bathroom, I will request the maid to bring up your new clothes ." She looks me up and down.

" My new clothes?" I can't help but grin, my father went out of his way to even buy me new clothes?

" Yes, your fa-..." She clears her throat and looks at me " James insisted, if something doesn't fit you well . Let me know ." Then with that said, she leaves the room .

Somehow the way she had to correct herself makes me wonder why , why can't she just call him my father instead of his name? That's a question for another time. However I think I might like it here, minus the looks she gives me, I think I might like this new place, a lot . I swiftly turn around, do a small twirl and stroll around the bedroom one more time before I go to the bathroom .

"Wow!" I sigh in admiration . The bathroom is way bigger than the apartment I used to live in. I don't waste time stripping down naked and jumping in the shower . When the hot water hit my body . I just melt in satisfying groans and sighs . I guess I can get used to this .
