Selena's POV
We all got into the back of the limo and the driver upfront started driving away. I turned to look out the window at my old house. When it was out of sight I turned back around to the boys and saw they were all staring at me.
"Why are you staring at me?" I asked in a quiet whisper my social anxiety showing through. "You just had this adorably wishful look on your face." Said the blonde with the baby face. "What are your guy's names?" I asked still not over a whisper. "Well why don't we start in age order I'm Drake I'm the oldest and I'm twenty one. Said the tall brunette with gelled up hair. "I'm Blake, and I'm Jake. Were twenty and Twins." Said the twins obviously. "I'm Keith and I'm nineteen." Said the blonde with the guitar. "I'm Justin and I Nineteen as well." Said the boy in a leather jacket. "I'm Colton and I'm eighteen." The baby faced blonde. "I'm spencer and I'm eighteen as well." Said the brunette with sideswiped hair. "I'm Selena and well today's my eighteenth birthday." I told them.
They gave my sympathetic looks but didn't push it. The rest of the ride was made in comfortable silence so they must know of my social anxiety. We were pulling into a long driveway when Justin spoke. "Your not allergic to any animals or afraid of any animals are you?" He asked me. "No I'm not allergic to any animals but I do have a fear of cows." I said in my quiet tone. "Why do you ask?" "We have a husky named Zeus, two indoor cats a calico named Callie an a orange and white one named Speckles, eight palomino horses named Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen, we also have eight rabbits Buttercup, Butterscotch, Max, Ruby, Alyss, Xanedue, Thumper, and Raven, Butterscotch and Raven are pregnant and due any day, we also have several outdoor cats." Justin said. "Why do you guys have so many animals?" I asked gobsmacked. "Justin found the dog one day when out riding he was just a puppy and nobody claimed him so he became ours, The Speckles and Callie became indoor cats be cause they had gotten attacked when they were little so we helped them, We each ride so we each have a horse then we got one for you because we where hoping to teach you to ride, And your parents told us you loved rabbits so we got you eight rabbits." Drake said.
I was shocked at all of that information. Just when I was about to respond we pulled to the end of this long driveway and pulled up to this huge house. We stepped out of the limo and I just stopped and stared at the giant house in front of me and that cause the boys to laugh at my reaction. "Why don't we give you a tour of the house and let you get settled in them we'll show you where the different animals are." Spencer suggested. I nodded and followed them inside.
They showed me where all the different rooms in the house were. On the main floor was the giant gourmet kitchen, a fancy formal dinning room, a ball room, a formal sitting room, the entrance hall, a very impressive library. a guest restroom, Drakes study, and Blake and Jakes study. In the basement was a movie room, a video game room, a bowling alley, a swimming pool, a snack bar, a panic room, a rock wall room with a ropes course, and a bathroom. On the second floor are five quest rooms, a cat play room (that the cats could come and go from by there own free will.) and a less formal sitting room. On the third floor was eight bedrooms. There was four room on each side of the hall on the third floor. It was Drake, Blake, Justin and Colton on one side and Me, Jake, Keith, and Spencer on the other side in that order.
I went into my room and saw all of my luggage was already placed on the bed in the room. I looked around the room the walls were painted in a Dutch teal color with a bay window in one wall with a window seat, the bed was a queen sized bed with a royal blue comforter matching pillows and white sheets, with two oak bed side tables each with a lamp which shade was colored In a teal and white zig zag pattern, there was an oak dresser with a black fifty inch Visio tv placed on top in front of the bed and off to the side by the window was a tall oak book case full of my favorite books with a swing hanging from the ceiling, a couple feet from the side of the bed was a door that led to the en suite and by the door that led in to the room was another door that led into a walk in closet.
I walked back to the bed and started unpacking what I brought. My two and a half suit cases of cloths didn't even fill half of the closet or the dresser. My period correct basket of rendezvous items were placed in a corner of the closet. I put my blanket in the bed and my picture on one of the bed side tables. The rest of the items I had were placed in various spots around the room to make it feel more homey.
When I finished I went to the video game room where the guys said they would be.I walked into the room and saw that the twins were in a heated mission on call of duty and Justin, Colton, and spencer were cheering them on. Drake was doing something on his laptop. Keith was writing a something in a notebook and strumming different cords on his guitar. I walked in and sat on the open spot on the couch between Keith and Drake. Drake looked up and smiled at me when I sat down. I glanced over at his laptop and saw he was writing something so I left him be. He finished what he was doing and we watched the twins while they finished there mission and Keith finished what he was working on.
A half hour later we were heading out the front door so they could give me a tour of all of the outside buildings and so I could see all the animals.
