You All Along

Penthouse (6)

Noah's POV

"Ta-da" Said Levy, getting out of the cab and pointing to the hotel.

¨Woah¨. Looked luxurious. I looked up to see maybe what, 30 floors?

We grabbed our luggage and got in. There were neon lights inside everywhere, it felt like a party. Moreover, there was a bar five feet away with young people drinking and dancing.

¨Holy shit Levy what kind of whorehouse is this?¨ Anita laughed.

"Oh, you'll see"

Levy just showed his ID to a secretary there and we were checked in.

¨Oh wow¨ I said.

¨Let's go¨ Levy called us and we went up the elevator

¨How did you pull this off?¨ Anita asked him.

¨This is my uncle's hotel. He owns the 30th floor so he turned it into a penthouse and lent it to us. Pretty sure he's living in Mexico now with his prostitutes, so we're good¨

¨Holy shit¨

¨You ready for the best part?¨ The elevator opened and Levy put his thumb on a sensor at the door. ¨You'll get yours set up later¨. The door opened and Levy pushed it for us, giggling.

¨Fucking goodness.¨

¨I know right?¨

The penthouse was HUGE. But like, insanely huge. We explored the entire apartment fascinated at every turn. There were three main rooms with bathroom and wardrobe included, one huge living room, a kitchen, a playroom, a guest room, another bathroom and an enormous, and I mean enormous window that almost took up the entire wall, with the most amazing view of the city I'd ever seen.

We entered Anita's room. It was so cool. It had a huge bed in the middle with white sheets and a huge spider-man teddy, her favorite superhero. There was a fireplace in front of the bed, one of the biggest TVs I'd ever seen above the fireplace, a huge window like the one in the living room with the view of the city and the sea nearby, which was perfect for her since it was her favorite thing, a desktop between the window and the bed and a crazy amount of space. It also had two bean bags between the window and the fireplace.

On the other side of the bedroom there was the wardrobe and the bathroom.

She threw herself in the bed, excited. "THIS IS GONNA BE SO AWESOME!" She got up on the bed and jumped onto Levy hugging him with her legs wrapped around him. ¨You are fucking amazing.¨

Levy laughed while holding her. Anita pulled away, and they stared at each other for a few seconds before Levy let go of her. Weird.

Hey, I know those two have had a little something going on, but I've never thought much of it. Other than my mom teasing them at gatherings or throwing them in the pool together at vacation, nothing much has ever happened. I am glad we're doing this together though. Levy's like my brother, and I absolutely love my cousin and the relationship I have with her, so I'm really happy this turned out this way. 

We left Anita's room and went to mine, across the living room.

Holy fuck. It was similar to her's, also with a desktop, fireplace, TV, although not as big as Anita's and window, but instead of bean bags it had a white leather couch underneath hundreds of electric guitars that belonged to artists hanging around the room. It also had a piano in the other corner of the room, next to the wardrobe and the bathroom.

¨No way¨. I turned around to see Levy smiling at me.

¨I may have told my uncle about your obsession¨

¨Dude¨ I hugged him and patted him on the back. I couldn't believe it.

Levy got the basketball themed one; it was also like the others, but had a small indoor pool instead of the couch and bean bags. The sheets were basketball themed, and it had a basketball ball vinyl and hoop. It also had a tube with basketballs signed by famous NBA players.

All three rooms were incredible, and the penthouse was insane.

Levy gave us a tour of the rest of the apartment and we sat down on the couches in the living room.

"You know, I didn't expect this to be so good." I confessed.

"I am out of words," Anita said, drinking from a glass of champagne.

¨Ey, I still got a few moves" replied Levy, winking at her.

"Okay you guys, it's 8.30, and I gotta go get ready" I said.

"Wait, where are you going?" Anita asked.

"I'm off to a dinner meeting with the one and only... Doctor Rod Wednesday."

"Shut up!" She yelled.

"Dude! He's like, my hero!" Levy exclaimed.

"Not bad, huh?"

"How did you do that?" Anita asked

"Aye, I too got some moves" I chuckled and paused. "Your dad did it."

"Mhm"

"Anyway, I'm gonna go shower, change clothes and be on my way. I'll be back later. You guys relax, it's been a long day. We'll go grocery shopping and organize everything tomorrow, okay?

"Good luck man" Said Levy.

"FUCK YEAH" I screamed.

Anita's POV

Levy and I looked at each other and started laughing.

"Okay, I'm gonna go to my room and unpack, knock if you need anything" I told him.

¨All right. Night, Monster¨

¨Night Levy. Thanks for this¨

¨Anytime.¨

I smiled at him and went to my room.

I closed the door, looked around and exhaled slowly. No, I wasn't calming down. I was preparing for what was coming next.

If I was gonna unpack, I needed to do it my way. I connected my phone to the giant bluetooth speakers in my room and put on Taylor Swift. After two hours I was done.

I looked at my room happily. It was beautiful. I looked at the time. 10.30. Shit.

I quickly showered, changed and threw myself on the bed. I was happy. I texted my parents, charged my phone and went to sleep. I was so tired, I think I fell asleep the moment my eyes closed.
