~Lei's POV~

Why do I find Darren so cute.

Wait what.

Anyways, after getting out of the car, we all follow Amelia through a pathway which leads to double doors, surrounded by plants. She takes out another set of keys from her expensive purse then turns it in the key hole. The doors suddenly open automatically. You could see the beautiful and large inside of the house just from the doorstep. JK, Darren, and I were about to take a step inside, until Amelia shot her arm in front of our bodies to stop us.

"Take your shoes off first" Amelia demanded, with a tone saying that we probably should've already known this.

I slip off my adidas superstars then take a step in the house, feeling the cold of the marble floor on my feet. Her house just looked so...big. Half of my life was just staying at some hotel or suite, but I never really complained, who could say no to free breakfast?

I've never been to her house before, but I imagined the place to be like this. Her grandpa is basically a millionaire, and her parents own a huge company, which explains why her parents aren't here often.

The ceiling was really tall, some art paintings hung around some places, also family portraits. I passed by a window and saw a pool outside, there was also a grand piano placed.

"Like I said, I love your wealthy family" I say as I look around a bit more.

"Hoy! Bawal makalat dito!" Amelia yelled to JK when she saw him about to move something. He put his hands up in defeat then smirked.

I then see a man with a white t shirt run up to Amelia, I think it's her driver.

"Amelia! Saan ka napunta! Nawala yung sasakyan!" The man said worriedly to Amelia. We all exchanged looks, then Amelia sighed.

"Um it's okay, I just called Tita to drive my friends and I here. Pasensya na po, nakalimutan ko sabihin sa 'yo" Amelia lied, sounding guilty.

The man sighs of relief then gives Amelia a pat on the shoulder, then walks away. One of her maids, Rosa, then comes up to us holding a plate of food. She wasn't wearing those basic maid outfits, but just a plain blue t shirt and white shorts.

"Hello m'am Amelia, bat ka late?" Rosa asked.

"Umm, traffic lang po" Amelia replied nicely.

"Ah okay. Hello m'am Amelia's friends, would you guys like a sample of tonight's dinner?" Rosa asked nicely, holding up a plate of small bite sized pieces of steak with a toothpick stuck to it. Darren and JK quickly took a bunch from the plate, while I just grabbed one.

It tasted amazing honestly. But I don't wanna get into detail with it.

"Thank you po" They both said as they start popping them in their mouth.

"Alright guys let's go upstairs" Amelia said, motioning us to follow her. As we all walk upstairs, I somehow felt like a queen taking those steps in the stairs. Just looked so fancy.

"What a house" Darren whispered to me.

"I know right" I chuckles.

She opens the door to her room then we follow her in. The room was also huge. But it didn't look like a regular teenage girl's bedroom, it was decorated like a master bedroom. Everything was just so organized.
