I woke up to the voice of yelling throughout the house. I heard a frustrated Niall calling my name out frantically. I rubbed my eyes and started walking down the stairs, where outside of my door I found him, and he hugged me tightly.
“I thought I lost you!” he yelled.
“Huh?”
“I had no idea that was even a room.”
“Hahah it’s pretty cool up there actually.”
“Really? Well breakfast is downstairs, I’m just going to take a quick look around for any more hidden rooms.”
“That’s fine with me.” I said before running towards the elevator.
I hit the first floor button and zoomed off. I found myself back in the front room, the two large staircases looking even bigger than they did last night. I spied my bags next to the front door and reminded myself to bring them upstairs when I was done eating. I slid into the kitchen and found a massive breakfast waiting there.
“Chef Liam reporting for duty.” I heard Liam call out from behind the counter. He stood up so I could see him.
“LIAM!” I screamed before running over and giving him a massive hug. “I thought you were coming with everyone else.”
“No I got in about three hours after you two.”
“Well yay!”
“Niall filled me in on everything so I’m glad you decided to stay.”
“Haha yeah. Have you chosen your room yet?”
“No not yet I didn’t really sleep, I was too busy cooking.”
“Well when you’re done, take a look around. This place is amazing.”
“Will do.” He chirped with a silly wink.
He handed me a plate full of eggs, bacon, waffles, pancakes, hash browns, and sausage. Then he set down a coffee and handed me the milk and sugar. I stirred my coffee slowly before inhaling its scent. The strong smell reminded me of Jack and immediately tears formed in my eyes. Liam sat down next to me and gave me a hug.
“What’s wrong lovely?” he asked politely.
“Do you remember Jack?”
“Yeah. You two were practically conjoined twins last time I saw you. Wait he already has a twin. Haha.”
“Well we broke up yesterday.”
“Why?”
“I didn’t think it was fair.”
“What was fair?”
“That he would have to wait a whole year over there for me, only to spend one more summer, and then another year without me and so on.”
“Well are you glad you did it?”
“Yeah, I am. I didn’t want him to wait like that for ten years.”
“TEN YEARS?”
“Yeah. Neurosurgeon over here.” I laughed
“Wow. Yeah you probably did the right thing then.”
“You think?”
“Yeah definitely. No guy wants to wait that long for a girl.”
“He told me he would.”
“Would and want are two different things.”
“I understand” I sighed but then brushed it off and we began to talk about him.
“How’s Jackie?”
“She's great, we broke up a while ago, but were still good friends.”
“That’s nice. Anyone new?”
“Well I don’t know. You tell me.”
“Huh?”
“Are you still friends with Lexy?”
“Lexy Glover? Yeah of course I talked to her a few days ago, why?”
“Do you think you could reintroduce me sometime?”
“Why?”
“I haven’t stopped thinking about her since I last saw her.”
“Awww. Yeah sure I’ll call her later.”
“Thanks.” He smiled and blushed a little
“Anyways I should probably get my stuff into my bedroom, and you should pick out yours.”
“Yeah I’ll do that now.”
He walked off, his plate empty now and I looked down at mine. I had barely touched it, but I wasn’t that hungry anyways. I emptied the rest into the trash and headed towards my stuff. I piled all four boxes into my arms and tried to balance them as I reached the elevator. I stepped inside and rode up to the third floor, before carefully striding up the stairs to my room. I set down the boxes and made three more rounds grabbing my suitcases and the two carry-ons. When everything was in my room, I began to set everything up.
After about an hours work, I had my pale blue sheets on the bed, all my pillows, and my curtains were almost hung up. My clothes were spread across the floor all over the place and I began to pick them up, color coordinating them as I hung them in the closet. As I finished putting on the curtains, I looked at how amazing the glass walls were with them on. The privacy was fully concealed and it was dark when the curtains were closed, but as you opened them, you were forced to run along the circular room until you reached the other side of the curtain, and the light poured in magically. I left the curtains opened almost all the time, and I loved the view.
I finally decided to go see Liam and Niall’s rooms. I bounced down the stairs and then ran into the room I saw Niall go into last night. Its walls were painted mint green, and a large window was placed behind a small brown couch. The bed was very high, and had blue and green sheets on it. Niall strode out of the bathroom, and I peered into the door, where I saw a small room with a shower, a toilet and a sink. Everything about the room was simple, just like Niall and I knew it was perfect for him.
I then ran off towards the sound of music thudding through the house. I reached the first floor, and down a small hallway found the source of the music. I opened the door to reveal a room with white walls, a mattress on the floor with clean white sheets, posters had begun to flood the wall, and clothes were strewn about messily. The carpet was a soft gray tone, and it matched everything perfectly. Liam was lying on the mattress, his laptop open and music blaring from its speakers.
I slid into the bathroom, unnoticed and peered at the luxurious space. It was large with wood walls and large tiled floors. The bathtub was big, and a window lay beside it, with a space to sit and have a smoke. It was perfect for Liam, who liked sophisticated things, with a bit of a mess in between. I walked out of the room and decided I’d go for a walk in the garden.
I passed the garage along the way and stopped for a while to look at the vehicles. Niall strolled in about 15 minutes later and told me I could choose whichever one I want.
“I couldn’t. That’s way too generous.”
“Come on take one.”
“I couldn’t.”
“Ok fine, then at least use a Vespa?”
“I don’t know.”
“Choose any color you want, the keys are over there.” He said pointing towards a large shelf; keys lay in each cubbyhole.
He then hoped into the Ferrari before saying he was going to take a ride. I nodded and began to look at the Vespa’s. I decided on three immediately that stood out to me. One was a banana yellow color, one a pale green, and another a bright blue. I couldn’t decide on one so I just walked over to the keys and picked a random one up. It was the banana yellow one, so I decided to go for a ride.
