Jake's POV

Let me explain: I lived with my happily-married parents. A couple of months ago, my father started to always come home late. At first, he told my mom and I that it was work stuff- and that we shouldn't bug him. Later, we found out that he was cheating on my mom. My mom forgave him right away, and they started going to marriage counseling sessions together. But, sometimes, mostly on the weekends, my dad would come home- drunk.

I couldn't stand to live with my parents anymore, so when I heard a message that was left on our home phone- about how my dad's old friend was here in town, and how his daughter would be lonely when he left for work- I picked up the phone and called my dad's friend. His name was David Taylors, and he was happy that I could keep his daughter company while he was away.

So, when I met his daughter, I was stunned. She was beautiful. We talked and introduced ourselves, and when she laughed, I... was stunned.

Lexi's POV

Right after he unloaded our stuff, my dad left. Go figures... But, this time, it was alright. Jake was keeping me company, so my dad did something right, for once. It showed that he actually kind of cared. Weird, right?

"Oh, wow..." I breathed. The mansion was not only huge, it was beautifully decorated in the inside and out. I turned to Jake, "Did you decorate this?"

Jake looked stunned, "What, me?" He pointed at his chest.

"Noo," I giggled, sarcasm evident in my voice.

"Ouch, that hurt. Seriously, that really hurt," Jake said, a twinkle in his eye, dispite what he had said. "But, back to your question, no. That was all your dad's design, I guess."

I nodded, looking around. "Geez, this mansion is huge! How're we gonna find our way here? I bet if I blindfolded you, and threw you in a random room, you'd take at least a day to find the living room!" I gestured to the living room, which was where we were at the moment.

There was a plasma flat screen TV hooked up against the wall, with the Xbox 360, Wii, and Xbox kinect scattered next to it. On the corner of the room, there was a collection of DVDs. There were two couches, two loveseats, and a couple of beanbags scattered in random places of the living room. This was definitely the largest room in the house, but if you didn't know how this house was like, it'd probably take you hours to find it.

"Oh, please," scoffed Jake, "I don't think it's that hard to find the living room. It's on the first floor, and it's the biggest room- it'd be pretty hard to miss it! See, I'll even prove it to you!"

Before I could do anything, Jake grabbed me, covered my eyes, and picked me up.

"What are you doing, Jake?!" I screamed.

"Letting you get to know your way around the house- you'll thank me later, probably. I'll be in the living room, come find me if you can." With that, I got dumped into a dark room.

"Jake!" I yelled at the top of my lungs, "You better watch out! When I find you, you're dead!" All I heard in response was his laughter.

I sighed, looking around the room I was in. It was big, the size of a hotel room. There were a lot of boxes in it, and my suitcases were on the bed. There was another plasma flat screen TV hooked up against my wall, across from my bed. There was a wooden desk with a bookshelf on the corner of the room, and I had a walk-in closet. There were double doors on the side of my room, and when I opened them, it turned out that I had a balcony. From the balcony, I could see tons of trees, a park, and to my right, there was even some stores. I closed the balcony doors, and opened the door, ready to look for the living room. But, instead of staring at the hallway, I ended up staring at the toliet. It turns out that I had my own bathroom, I had tripped on the rug, and I would've fallen face-first into the toilet, but I caught myself in time.

Muttering to myselft, I walked out of the bathroom and went through the correct door this time. I gaped at the hallway, it was huge! I probably spent thirty minutes looking for the stairs, it turns out that we have a side stairway, so it was in one of the rooms. I had checked all of the rooms, and was pretty familiar with the arrangement of everything now.

Finally, I was able to get to the living room after checking every room in the entire floor. I was right, someone could easily get lost in here. After getting a bottle of water from the kitchen, I found Jake laying on one of the couches, watching TV. When he heard my footsteps, he looked up and grinned.

"Hey, Lex. It took you long enough!"

"Long enough?" I echoed, forgetting my anger for a moment. "How long was I lost? Thank you for that, by the way." I told Jake, punching him in the arm.

"Ouch, jeez, Lex. You get lost for about an hour and you're already getting mad. I mean, I helped you. Is that how you would thank someone?" Jake said, rubbing his arm and laughing at me.

I glared at him, "Next time, you try getting lost here. It's like a freaking maze! I swear, the rooms, must've moved or something once or twice."

"Yeah, yeah. Boo-hoo for Lex. Meanwhile, when I was waiting for you, I was about to die of starvation. So you shouldn't be the one complaining, here, missy," Jake teased, tapping my nose.

I swatted his hand away. "Whatever. Is pizza fine with you?"

Jake nodded, "Meat lovers and breadsticks."

"Yes, your Highness," I mock-bowed at him.

"So you were also thinking that you would make a decent slave for me?" Jake asked after I order our pizzas.

I scoffed, "Yeah, right. I think you'd make an excellent butler for me, though."

We both laughed. Talking to Jake more, I'm finding out that he's a pretty cool guy. He's really funny, too.

After our pizza came, and after we finished eating, Jake and I headed to our beds.

"Night, Jake," I said, smiling.

"Night, Lex. If the bed bugs bite, I'm right next door," he pointed to his room, which was next to mine.

I laughed, "Yeah, I don't think that'll happen. Thanks for the offer, though."

Jake just winked and went inside his room.
