Love Or lust?

Chapter 14

It has been a week since we arrived, and already i want to go home. I don't say it to anybody though.
Everything in this house is lifeless, the humans inclusive. How can they be so comfortable with routines. I mean don't they get bored or what? Mind you i do enjoy the fact that they don't disturb me but still.

All I did here was wake up, take my bath and brush my teeth, go down the stairs and eat, and when i am in the mood,i help with the washing of the dishes. And then i go back to my room while everyone stays downstairs and watch tv, it's not like i can't stay with them, but I don't like how the sitting room always ends up getting over crowded. I am a recluse afterall, so.....

A knock on the door interrupts my thought. Amelia.

I walk over and open the door,a surprised gasp escapes my lips as grey eyes stared into mine. What was he doing here?
Earlier, when I had finished eating and was doing the dishes, he had splashed me with water and when i tried to inform him, because I thought maybe he didn't know, he had given me a blank stare before returning to his stupid phone. He couldn't even say sorry. Stupid doggie asshole!.

I fold my arms across my chest, waiting for him to get on with what he was here for so i can go back in and take a nap.

"Look i am deeply sorry about what happened in the kitchen, it was not my intention to have you splashed with water." He says, his eyes sliding from me to the room.

I blink. And then i blink again. Woah.
Was he seriously apologizing? Wow

"O.. Kay?" It came out sounding like a question.

"We good?" He asks, smiling slightly and I nod. He touches me slightly on the shoulder and walks away.

Okay. That was weird as fuck. Why was he apologizing. What was he up to? I know it is not something to be suspicious of, because he was wrong and it is only agreeable that he apologizes, but I can't help but feel like something's up.
I go back in and take a nap. My usual.

I awake a few hours later and gasp at the time. 8:56.
I take a quick shower before going down the stairs and after taking dinner,i proceed to search for Amelia. When I couldn't find her,I ask aunt Felicia and she tells me to check her up in the boys room. What could she possibly be doing in the boys room? There's nothing wrong with it. Right?. I mentally face palm myself, why was i overthinking it?.
I thank her and head to the boys room.

The boys had their room in the second floor so i didn't have to go all the way up the stairs. I hesitate before i finally knock.
Amelia opened up, she was was grinning.

"Come in thena"she says brightly and i take a step in, shutting the door behind me.
It is cold in here. I should have a worn a cardigan or something.

The room is boldly masculine, black curtains, bed sheets, clothes scattered across what i thought to be the dressing mirror. There is a paired bunk bed to the right and another to the left. Amelia is sitting on the top bunk, by the left, with dark eyes. They're engrossed in whatever they are talking about

Xavier is on his phone as usual, his fingers tapping furiously on it. He was in a black joggers that had chains at their sides. Black could be a favourite colour of his, because he wears it alot. And he was shirtless. I quickly avert my eyes from his chiseled physique.
I don't think he knows i am here.

Karen beckons on me to come over and i do just that. He's on boxer briefs, and I find that i am not scared. Maybe it's because i see him as an elder brother. Or not.

I sit beside him and he gives me a smile.

Dark eyes' suddenly shoots up from the bed with a shout of "let the games begin".

Uh uh. Games are never good when it's with boys.
And i find myself wishing i had not come here.
