The hot nerd

Part 4~

When they got back home he opened the front glass door for her and signalled for her to go in. It had just started to rain so Ella quickly followed instructions and stepped inside. They walked together in silence to the elevator and when Alex got to the floor his apartment was on he grabbed Ella's hand and pulled her out of the elevator.
'Alex what are you doing? This isn't my floor it's yours.'
'I know but I was wondering if you wanted to stay at mine for a while.'
Ella smiled at the thought and agreed to stay overnight. She didn't bother going to retrieve pyjamas or anything else she just went with Alex to his apartment.

He opened the door and looked around cautiously, which Ella thought was strange but still she followed him in. As Ella looked around she saw what looked like a very neat space. There was a black leather sofa and a white shaggy rug underneath it. There was a flat screen tv on the grey wall opposite the white shelves that were on the wall behind the sofa. There were several dark wood doors which were closed so, as any normal person would be, Ella was intrigued to find out what secrets were behind the doors.
'Nice place you got here.' Ella said still looking around.
'Thanks, I try to stay with a very monotone look - black, grey and white.' He replied.
Ella walked in a bit and continued to look around the spacious room which she assumed was the lounge.
'Make yourself at home and look around if you want. Just don't go into this room.' He tapped a door that was opposite to her and looked into her eyes, waiting for confirmation that she wouldn't go in there.
'Okay but can I ask why not?'
'Just don't - it's a very private room.'
Ella nodded and opened a door to the left of her. She could see a stylish kitchen that mainly contained the colour white with the occasional black utensils. She saw a picture of Alex and a woman. Strange.
'Who's that lady?' She asked.
'Oh that's my..sister.' He said at the speed of lightning.
She noticed that he looked awkward again and he was looking at anything but her. She thought nothing of it and closed the kitchen door.
