Ever since dad died we haven't been exactly on our feet. Dad had a great job as a lawyer but then got into that car accident...
Anyways, since dad had a great job that meant we had quite a large house. Always having extra bedrooms. Since dad made mostly all the money means we are losing the house.
As I was walking downstairs mom called me down. So I walked down to the kitchen where she was currently feeding my two year old brother Richard. He was named after our father. He had bright blue eyes and perfect blonde hair. He looks like my mom, while I look like my dad. Brown wavy hair and mysterious hazel eyes.
Mom told me to sit and I already knew it was about the house so I didn't ask any questions.
"Do you want the good news or the bad news?" she offered
Instantly I desired good. I could really use good news right now. " good. " I simply stated.
" we aren't losing the house." she smiled.
I beamed with excitement. This house was my childhood. Me and my dad built a treehouse in the back back when I was eight. Its still there.
"Okay. What's the bad news?" I paused
my mother took a deep breath " another family is moving in with us." she exhaled.
I guess it was worth paying the price of not losing our house...
"That's fine, as long as we keep the house and Axel." I simply stated. Axel was my Great Dane. Most people were scared of due to her size. But in reality, she's just a big cuddle buddy.
my mom giggled and told me to do a couple chores to make the new roommates feel more welcome.
After I had cleaned up the extra rooms mom told me the roommates should be here any minute and to start making some tea. I did as told and made a heaping serving of tea and headed upstairs to change into something more comfy. Its not like I'm trying to impress anyone. I slipped on a pair of jean shorts, and a black v-neck. Since my hair was a wavy mess, I put my hair up in a messy bun.
I headed downstairs and sat down on the couch watching Lion King on Netflix. Axel soon jumping on the couch next to me then snuggling into my chest while I slowly drew circles between her eyes. That's where I always scratched her as a puppy.
After about a hour I started wondering where those damn roommates were. As if on cue the doorbell rang and Axel jumped up off the couch and ran towards the door barking her head off. "Axel shut up!" I demanded and she immediately shut up and sat down. I smirked then slowly opened the door hoping they didn't hear my yelling.
I opened the door to find a middle aged couple and a reallhy cute guy who looked like he could be around my age. Feeling completely shocked I opened the door wider and stepped aside while plastering on the most sincere smile I can manage. They nodded they're head and quickly walked in shivering as the cold air chilled all of us to the bone.
After talking in the living room the family didn't seem half bad. Especially the boy. Who's named turned out to be Matthew.
"Well, Marilyn why don't you show Matthew to his room, while I show Mr and Mrs Espinosa to their room " my mom gestured.
I nodded my head in agreement and motioned to Matthew to follow me while I took one of his bags.
We headed upstairs and showed him all the available rooms. He chose the one across from mine cause of its walls color is blue. I guess if i was him id choose that room too.
"Well if you need anything don't be shy to tell me." I smiled and he quietly thanked me then scurried off into his room. He was really quiet. Quiet but very sexy.
