Brandi had led me to a fair sized guest room. It was supplied with makeup kits, a walk in closet, our own bathroom, and an amazing view of the city. Although I noticed something weird for a room of two girls

"Umm.. There's only one bed"

I state, setting my suitcase on the floor and pointing to the queen sized bed set right in the middle of the main wall

"We share the bed. Nate says it's for his viewing pleasure and that we shouldn't complain"

I stare at her in confusion. Share? Why would Nate, or anyone, want to watch two girls sharing a bed? Especially if they are complete strangers

"So what are you in for?"

Asks Brandi as she twirls a strand of my hair around her finger repeatedly

She says, noticing my nervousness as I took a step back. I decide to calm down a bit and try to continue the conversation

She says, avoiding eye contact. Am I rooming with a criminal?

I hear a knock on the door cutting my thoughts short

"Two minutes ladies!"

I hear a man shout from the other side of the door

"Two minutes for what?"

I ask Brandi

"For Nate's annual 'welcome home' meeting"

"Hey Brandi! Over here!"

Says a tall brunette boy, seated in the middle of the room.

"C'mon"

Brandi makes her way towards the boy and I follow closely behind. Without hesitation she places herself on the boys lap, forcing me to sit right next to them, crossing my legs to keep to myself.

I hear I boy chuckle from my left side. I turn and find a boy with long blonde hair and grills on a few of his teeth staring at me, a grin spread across his face

"What's your name sweetheart?"

He asks, placing his right hand on my knee. What with everyone and touching? Before I could respond Nate and Derek walked into the lounge room and stood in front of the group like a teacher in a kindergarten class room. Nate spoke first
