Chapter 4

I woke up again at 8 with a bursting bladder, I hadn't yet been given a tour and the need to use the bathroom had only just set in. I jumped out of bed and raced out of my room. There were too many doors; I just had to take a guess and hope it was the right one. Moving to the door next to mine I swung it open only to squeak out in surprise.

"Morning Ally, is this your way of repaying me? I wake you up, you wake me up." Aiden joked from his propped up position in bed. I didn't wait to say anything and just slammed the door shut. I breathed out once the door was closed and tried to cool my burning cheeks.

I hesitated trying the next room but when I stuck my head around the door, relief washed over me. Note to self: bathroom is two doors down.

Washing my hands I took this time to look at my reflection in the mirror. My chocolate brown waves were shoved in a messy bun and I pulled the elastic out and let my hair fall down my back. I had natural waves and usually had my hair down so I could hide behind it. It was only at night when I knew I would wake up in a sweat that it was pulled up and away from me, because nothing was worse than hair stuck to your face after a nightmare.

I had doe eyes, big and brown that I kept mostly looking at the ground to avoid contact with people. Trailing them across the rest of my face I stopped at my button nose that had surprisingly, never been broken, and then to my plump red lips that seemed to be naturally pulled into a frown.

Going further down I moved past my larger than average breast and curvaceous hips. I had been told my figure was one to be desired, but I hated it. It got me all the wrong attention from all the wrong people and I was always covering myself up and hiding behind baggy clothes in an attempt at becoming invisible.

Right now in my black vest and jeans from yesterday, I scowled at myself. My jacket was in the bedroom after I'd taken it off last night. I'd gone into the kitchen with Aiden looking like this. Shaking my head and walking out of the bathroom, I was in a world of my own, but was soon brought back to reality when I slammed into a warm body.

"Hey sorry Alex, my bad," Lucas winced rubbing his bare chest that I'd just smacked my nose into.

"No I- I wasn't l-looking where I was g-going." I stuttered to the ground rubbing my nose, the sting caused my eyes to water.

Lucas didn't move or say anything so I looked up to gage his reaction; was he angry?

My heart jumped in realisation; he was staring at me with a look I had become accustomed to; lust.

I gulped before stepping backwards; Lucas shook his head and then looked me in the eye with a smirk.

"Like I said, it was my bad. But... if you wanted to make it up to me, I can think of a few things," he chuckled huskily and I stepped further back. Watching my retreating form he laughed slightly.

"It was just joke Alex," He rolled his eyes at my reaction "Anyway moms making breakfast so I'm here to escort you to the kitchen."

"O...Okay, could I h-have a shower f-first?" I asked.

Lucas shrugged "You don't need to ask, this is your house now. I'll go down and let her know... Unless you need some help?" he smirked again.

I realised what kind of guy Lucas was there and then; a joker. I decided not take everything he said too seriously. Of course I didn't trust him, but unless real intent could be seen in his eyes I wasn't going to assume either.
