Promise Me Something (Slow updates)

~Promise Me Something~ Chapter 4

A/N: Mason's house above ^

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Bye Kitty I love you. Please call me or at least text me every day for peace of mind!" Kat looked at me adoringly before giving me a salute and hugging me once more. Waving her off, I took in a deep breath and turned around coming face to face with the house. My apologies; It was no basic house.

Wow, his house was so breathtaking that I couldn't help compare it to my one storey house that was literally a brown box, two windows and a door. Not joking when I say that, but my mum's job covered enough for rent, and if we were are lucky we could put good food on the table.

I took in the sight in front of me.

What made the house huge was how three dimensional it was. Every angle, every corner was precise and defined. The off white beige colour of the exterior walls complimented the structure of the house design; especially going hand in hand with the front yard which had cleanly cut grass and looked prim. The walls looked smooth, almost as if your hand would slide down when you touched it. Not an ounce of dirt or residue was evident. The arched windows allowed the lights below the roof to bounce off them, illuminating the complexity of the house.

The front of the house was a square-like structure however the top left corner it had a round thick pillar and arch-fixed windows all around it. It almost reminded me of Rapunzel's castle. The balconies looked like they were out of a set from Romeo and Juliet. The little plants and shrubs planted on either side of the large steps leading up to the door were well taken care of, and very lively. The very small garden filled with yellow flowers at the very front of the house gave the outside a fresh look. The door had its very own archway, which made me feel very grand when walking towards it.

The planning of this house was just amazing. It was definitely a holy banana's moment. I mean, I've been to Faith's house but this; this was just a whole new level of amazeballs. It just puts into perspective just how rich Mason was and the reason why girls were chasing after him. Even the dirt in the garden was probably cleaner than a restaurant kitchen! This was unreal.

Hesitantly, I made my way up to the double doors, suddenly feeling a little out of breath. Eventually, I had the courage to press the doorbell where it sounded like constant chiming wedding bells. I wasn't surprised that I waited and waited.

It reminded me of those celebrities who always turned up late where the fans had to wait if they didn't want to miss out on meeting them. Deciding to feel courageous yet again I leaned to press the chiming bell again until I heard a click.

In front of me was an older lady around my height, though had a rounder figure with blonde bobbed hair reaching just below her shoulders. Hazel eyes shone against the sunlight and her pale skin really suited her dressy style. She had on a black blouse with a long white skirt and heels, her accessories consisting of a necklace with an angel on it and one simple silver bracelet.

I cleared my throat. "Hi um...I am Jessica." I muttered shyly. I was quickly pulled into a hug, clearly feeling thrown off by this lady's reaction; I patted her back awkwardly; having no idea what to do.

"Come in darling! Come in! John? John?" She called, "Please help me collect this young lady's bag!"

"No. it isn't an issue at all. It's only one duffel bag, nothing we women can't handle right?" I asked trying to lighten the mood after our awkward encounter.

"I like you." She giggled rather loudly and I smiled. At least this household hadn't been infected by a certain person's bad attitude.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know your name."

"Oh my goodness! I am such a forgetful person. I am Ana; I look after this household and the little devil upstairs." I had to giggle at that. "I'll show you to your room."

I nodded and started following her up the steps, not really having enough time to look around as I feared I'd bump into Mason or his minions. Even the floors I walked on probably cost more than every item in my room collectively. I observed the upstairs hall where the floors were a timber chocolate colour and there were four doors on the left and five on the right, having large spaces between each. One door looked like a linen closet when passing it, it had a rich oily, lavender smell to it. Eventually, Ana stopped and opened the last left door just before the hall curved a corner to another part of the house.

I was in awe once again; the room was brown and beige where the roof slanted down in a defined angular position. The floor had a large, plain white carpet. The bed's head board was the shape of a flower and was pure white and was pushed against the wall with two small square windows above it. There was a large tallboy on the right hand side with unique ornaments decorated around it. The left was a little simpler, with one white chair and a small balcony overlooking the street. The walls however were beautiful; snowflakes painted falling from the ceiling to the ground. It was beautiful. I'd never seen snow in my life and it seemed like this was the closest experience I would get to snow. Walking up to the frames hung up on the wall, I looked closer only to see they were drawings...from Mason! One drawing was a simple black rose with two petals slowly falling to the ground. The other was a brown hut made of wood, hidden in the middle of very tall, vibrant greenery. Wow, I had never pictured Mason a talented artist.

"I'll let you get settled. Dinner is at 7pm sharp, no later than that. Mrs Stone is a big believer in punctuality and family time so this is a must for her. Please try not to be late." Ana pleaded a little, getting me out of that weird trance.

I just nodded politely before giving a small wave and closing the door softly. I literally dropped onto the bed and I sunk in. Geez, I'd trade all my notes if I had a chance to sleep on this bed for the rest of my life. It was so comfortable; much better than the resembling rock-like bed I had at home which left me cramps in my shoulders often. Just as I was dozing off, my phone beeped.

Kat: Arrived at Lauren's. I am safe, don't worry...we are going out for lunch so don't fret if you suddenly feel like you need to call my awesome phone. Love ya x

I smiled. We always had a dispute between which phone was better, either her IPhone 6 or my Samsung Galaxy 6+ Edge, which by the way took much better photos than the IPhone. Eh anyway, enough about that; what was I doing before?

Oh yeah.

Sleeping

xXx

I woke up to a knocking at my door.

"Mmm go away Mum. I'm really tired." I yawned, rolling over to the other side of the comfortable bed. Not hearing any response, I snuggled closer and hugged my arm around the pillow. Agh. Comfort. But that didn't last long as the covers were ripped from me. Opening my eyes one at a time, I rolled back around only to see Ana staring at me. Wait, what? What's Ana doing in my room? Looking around I realised this in fact wasn't my room, as this one was so much more luxurious than mine.

"Maam, it is 10 past 7 and the Stone family are waiting for you."

What? Why?. Suddenly it dawned on me. "SHIT! DINNER WITH THE FAMILY. OH GOD, OH GOD." I squealed before sprinting past Ana. Looking around, I realised I couldn't remember the direction I came from.

"Allow me." Ana offered behind me, making me jump.

"Oh my God. I'm so sorry Ana!" I apologised frantically. following her.

She laughed lightly, "Oh it's alright my dear."

The rest of the walk was in silence. My nerves started kicking in as soon as one of the servants opened the dining room door. Moment of truth. Taking in a deep breath, I counted to ten and looked up, three pairs of eyes boring into me.

And boy they didn't look very happy.

Great way to make a first good impression. Good going Jessica, good going.
