Chasing Allison

4- Hot Brother

Allison's POV

Dinner, that evening went by very quickly. Jake and I didn't speak to each other all through. Cheryl and my mom did most of the talking.

I was in my last class the following day when my phone vibrated. Mom was calling. I looked at the teacher who was writing on the board, his back facing us. I took the chance to answer the call

"Mom?, What's wrong?"

"Nothing dear, I just want to tell you to pick up something for me on your way home" she said as I let out a breath of relief

"What?" I asked

"A package... from Cheryl" she answered

"Cheryl Anderson??.. you want me to go to the mayor's house?" I asked. I wasn't really concerned about the mayor part, I don't want to go to Jake's house. He might be there

Why are you avoiding him anyway? A voice in my head asked. I ignored it

"Hello? Allison?" My mom's voice rang in my ears

"Sorry what did you say?" I asked

"I said you shouldn't worry.. just drop by and ask for it.. I already told her you were coming" she said

"Okay" I muttered, I didn't want my mom to know about the whole Jake stuff.

The last bell rang and I carried my bag and walked out of the class and towards the parking lot

Mom texted the address to me when I got into the bus

Five minutes later I arrived at the house. Or more like mansion. Jake's house was bigger than Cree's and more modern

I walked towards the big oak door and knocked.

"Someone get the door!!" A male voice yelled. It didn't sound like Jake's

"Fine I'll get it myself" he yelled again

Seconds later the door opened revealing a red haired guy. He wore dark jeans and no shirt

Damn look at those abs

"Hey there, like what you see stranger" the guy teased

"Sorry.. um.. I came to see Cheryl" I said

He eyed me suspiciously before he spoke

"You don't look like someone my mom mingles with" he said

Mom? Jake has a brother?

"I just came to pick up something for my mom" I said

"Alright then, come in" he said opening the door wider for me to come in

The mansion was more beautiful inside than outside. It looks almost like Kylie Jenner's

I felt the red haired guy's eyes piercing through my back

"Mom is not around at the moment.. but she'll be back soon" he said still looking at me

I nodded still standing on the same spot fiddling with the hem of my jacket

"You can sit down" the guy said still looking at me with amusement

"Oh.. uh thanks" I said taking a sit on one of the sofas. The sofa was very comfortable it felt like I was sitting on a cloud.

"Are you always like this?" The guy asked

"Like what?" I asked

He looked down to the sofa I was sitting. And that was when I realized that I was bouncing off the sofa like a five year old

I immediately stopped

"Not really" I answered

Cue Awkward silence

"You're Jake's brother?" I asked breaking the silence

"Yeah.. older brother, you are new here aren't you?" He asked

"Yes.. how did you know?" I asked

"If you weren't, you wouldn't have asked if I was Jake's brother" he said

Just then the doorbell rang and I was relieved thinking it was Cheryl

The mystery guy stood up and answered the door

"Wow my baby bro has grown up" he said as he hugged the person at the door

Okay I'm starting to think it's not Cheryl

Ya think

Shut up voice, now is not the time

The person stepped into the house and I could hear his voice clearer

"Adam.. when did you get back?" Jake asked walking into the living room. He hasn't seen me yet

"Today.. how is high school?" The guy whose name I'm guessing is Adam asked

"Same old" Jake replied.. he got closer and closer.. until he entered the living room completely

He turned from his brother to face me. I shut my eyes not wanting to see his reaction

"What are you doing in my house?" Jake voice echoed. I'm very sure he was talking to me

I opened my eyes and came face to face with the confused eyes of Jake Anderson
