He Saved Me

Chapter three

I pull up to Christine's mansion sized house pushing my idea to the back of my head for now. I quickly park and get my school bad and some supplies I had in my car already and walk up her Grand Staircase

"Hey Leah, come in" She says opening the door and pulling me into her house.

"You have a beautiful house Christine. What do your parents do?" I say honestly curious. The house is 10x bigger on the inside. I didn't even think it was possible.

"My mother owns a fashion line called Brittneys fashion co. and my father is a doctor" She says shrugging.

"Can I live here? I bet you have an extra room" I say jokingly but in all seriousness.

"Oh yeah totally" She says giggling as we sit down at the kitchen table.

"Hello, you must be Leah. I'm Martha, would you two like anything to eat or drink?" So called Martha says wearing an apron.

"Martha, my parents arent home. Go watch TV or something. I can take care of myself. I don't need a cook right now" Christine says giggling as my mouth drops open before I quickly close it. She had a fücking personal cook?

Shįt, I have to text my dad

-------
Me: Hi father. I'm working on a school project with a friend. I'll be home later sometime.

Father: You lying bįtch

-------

I decide to not answer back and we just work on the project for the rest of the time occasionally talking about random stuff. I always thought Christine was kind of snotty but shes really not.

"You know Leah, I had a lot of fun and I'm glad we got the project done. Sit with me tomorrow at lunch and maybe we can keep in touch" She says and I nod smiling.

"I would really like that. Bye Martha" I say waving to Martha who is sitting on the couch watching House Wives. I guess we all have our guilty pleasures.

I leave the house and check my phone for any notifications. Theres nothing causing me to smile.

I make my way over to starbucks. I guess you can call me a white girl. But truth is, I work here. Which means I've gotten use to and grown fond of the coffee and drinks here.

"Funny seeing you here, Sydney said you werent gonna be here today" Cody says smiling when he sees me. "Miss me?" I say cocky putting my apron on and walking behind the counter.

Sydney gave me today off but since we finished earlier than I expected and theres nothing making me want to go home, to work it is.

"You wish" Cody says nudging me causing me to laugh. Cody and I are always working together so we talk all the time. Might as well make the best of it. He's in college right now and needs to make some extra cash.

"Hey Leah, how are you?" Someone says and I turn my attention to see Sydney standing there giving me a skeptical look.

"I'm sorry Sydney" I say gushing before she interrupts me.

"I don't care, just let me know next time when your working so I can pay you" She laughs and I nod apologizing.

"Ohhhh, Ms. Leah got in trouble" Cody says poking my cheek, causing me to slap his hand

Someone clears their throat and I look over to see of course, Mason and Ellie White.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Hey Mason, Ellie" I say smiling at the and Mason smiles a fake smile looking a little hurt. I push it to the side and suddenly my idea pops back up into my head.
