When He Walks By

Chapter 11

Chapter 11:

After we all got out of the pool we dried off and headed inside. "I know you didn't bring anything so you can just use my stuff." Elise said with a sweet smile. "Oh thanks!" I replied. Elise and I walked up the stairs and headed towards the end of the hall. "Is this your room?" I asked. "Nope." She replied with a huge grin.

She opened the door and revealed the gigantic room full of clothes, shoes, makeup. Anything a girl would need. The walls were covered with racks of clothes and there was one wall with shelves completely covered in shoes. There were two couches and a coffee table in the middle with three changing rooms in the left corner. It was as if I had stepped into Elise's personal mall. "This place is absolutely amazing!" I gushed. She took my hand and led me over to where there were some pajamas and sweats hanging. "You can choose anything." She said. Then Elise grabbed a pair of sweats and a t-shirt and sat on the couch. I looked through the clothes and found a pair of black yoga pants and a light blue t-shirt. Elise then led me to the bathroom.

After we had both taken showers and changed I pulled my hair into a messy bun on top of my head. We walked down the stairs arm in arm talking about random things. It felt as if we were best friends already. We turned the corner to find Alex sitting by the cabinet full of movies. "Where is Jake?" I ask. I look around the large living room but can't find him. "He is in the kitchen making popcorn." Alex says without looking up from the two DVD cases he is holding. I walk through the door connected to the living room to find Jake playing on his phone standing by the microwave. His back is faced to me and he hasn't noticed that I came in. I slowly sneak up behind him and stand there for a second. I jump onto his back and scream. He jumps and yells a series of profanities while I jump off his back and clutch my stomach with laughter. "Hahaha very funny." He says sarcastically while rolling his eyes. The microwave beeps and he grabs the popcorn and empties it into two bowls. I grab one and go back into the living room. Jake grabs the other and follows right behind. Once we sit down I hear the front door open and close. Then I hear two people laughing. "Who's here?" I ask Jake. "Must be Alex and Lily." He says. "Who's Lily?" I question. "Alex's sister." he replies. Seconds later Alex and Lily round the corner. "Heyo." Alex shouts. Lily just giggles. She is quite pretty. She is about my height with long flat brown hair down to about her waist. "Hi im Lily, you must be Bea?" She says. "Yeah." I say with a smile. I satnd up to greet her and she envelopes me in a big hug. I like her already. "Hey Bea!" Alex shouts. He pats me on the back. And may I say, he has quite a strong arm.

Once the movie is over, Jake shows me the guest room and I plop on the bed. I am wiped out. I get under the covers and it feels like I am floating on a cloud. This bed is the softest thing i have ever gotten remotley close to. After about 10 minutes of me laying on the bed thinking about how freaking soft it is I drift into a sweet, silent slumber.
