Part Nineteen | The Open Ocean

"Oh my god," exclaims Clementine as she enters the house with everyone else. She stands in the centre of the hallway and spins in a circle as she looks up at the artwork adorned on the walls, the elegant statues and the marble staircase that heads off in a spiral into the upstairs areas. It's minimalistic in style but clearly, every item on display must have cost thousands of dollars.

Louis leads everyone through the hallway and into the kitchen with a grin on his face as he hears Clementine's gasps of awe behind him. Everything is gleaming with white marble and a large centre island in the middle of the kitchen makes a statement about the cost of the house. Clementine is astounded and walks through the rest of the ground floor with her mouth open as Louis gives her a tour of the holiday pad.

The teenagers head up to the first floor, where Louis leads them down the gleaming white corridor to a spacious room containing a large queen-sized bed and an ensuite. "Brody, Marlon, this is your room for the weekend," Louis says as he leans on the door frame. The couple nod and head into the room, throwing their bags onto the bed as they admire the decor and the view. Louis closes the door and leaves them in peace to relax after the long drive.

"Right," he says, addressing Violet and Clementine who wait by his side, "I'll just drop my things off in my room." He wanders down the long corridor past two rooms left with the doors wide open. Clementine can't resist looking inside and is wowed to spot a second, slightly smaller living room and a compact office space right next door

"This house is insane Louis," says Clementine as she exhales. The boy turns and addresses the brunette over his shoulder with a smile.

"There's an indoor pool downstairs as well as a gym, free for your use of course," he says with a chuckle as he opens the door at the other end of the corridor. It's another large room, similar to the one Brody and Marlon are in but with a slightly different layout. French doors lead to the balcony, and even from the entrance Clementine can see the spectacular view from the deck. Louis throws his bag onto the cream covers and shrugs off his shoes by the foot of the bed.

"Right," he announces as exits the room and he leads the two girls towards the grand staircase. "You two are in the master bedroom," he says with a wink as he continues to lead them up to the stairs. Violet takes Clementine's hand as she takes the stairs two at a time to catch up to her best friend. Louis pushes open the door and gestures for the girls to enter.

At the centre of the room is a king-sized poster bed with light fabric hanging from the beams and framing the bed. the room is filled with furniture yet still carries the minimalistic theme of the house. At the foot of the bed is a light grey fabric bench, a vanity sits against one wall near a single armchair and small coffee table. The walls are a light grey, and fabric and pillows around the room match this shade and enhance the colour. Ceilings are high and skylights above fill the room with natural light that shines into the master bedroom. Finally, the most eye-catching feature is the balcony to the right of the room which faces the ocean. Clementine is amazed.

Louis smiles and exits the room, closing the door behind him leaving the two girls alone. Clementine wanders over the to en-suite and opens her mouth in shock to see a large bathtub pressed up against the wall, just situated below a large glass window that faces the neverending sea. She whistles out a breath and returns to the main room. Violet emerges from the walk-in wardrobe to the left of the grand bedroom and smiles at Clementine, seeing the awe on her face.

"It's pretty neat right?" says Violet with a grin, the brunette is lost for words and simply shakes her head with a smile on her face. She wanders over to the glass doors, slides them open and steps out onto the balcony, breathing in the sea air and leaning against the rail there. She feels Violet come to stand by her side and relaxes as the blonde throws her arms around her and rests her head on Clementine's shoulder.
