The Boy Next Door (On Hold)

Chapter 2

Finding Lucy wasn't the hardest thing to do. She had disappeared into the kitchen which was right next to the stairwell. When I entered the kitchen I was mesmerized, it was beautiful. The walls were plain white, and the floors were black wood. Towards the left side of the door was a white window seat with two white pillows. The cupboards were black, and some had a transparent view of what was inside. The refrigerator, the most important thing, was towards the right side of the kitchen. My favorite thing of all had to be the mini bar in the center of the kitchen, it had a white marble table top and a black bottom. There were three chairs, with white seats and black legs. On top of the mini bar were two chandeliers.

Next we visited the dining room which was right next to the kitchen. They shared a door, to be able to walk through either of them. The dining room had a beautiful crystal chandelier in the center. That's the first thing I noticed, it was sparkling because of the sunlight. Below the chandelier was a crystal top dining table, it was huge, fitting about 12. The chairs were similar to those in the kitchen. In front of the dining table was a big window with black curtains. Towards the side of the dining table, there was a small opening with a black liquor holder. Through the see through the opening you could see some of the wine glasses. I quickly saw Bailey on the counter...hmm... At least she has good taste.

We walked out of the dining room and crossed the hall towards a small hallway. We walked for a while and finally reached a room with no doors, when we walked in I realized it was the living room. The sofa was white, with a bunch of striped pillows on it. In front of the sofa was a small white coffee table, and begins the sofa was a counter with cool frames and a number 6.
"What does the 6 stand for?" I asked Lucy
"If you tell Nathan he will deny it, but he gifted it to his stepfather and me on our 6 year anniversary." I wanted to ask what happened to Nathan's dad, I really wanted to, but I restrained myself from it. It's not any of my business.
"That's so cute." I responded
"Yeah, he's a big softy once you break down those walls he's built." I don't think Nathan would appreciate his mother talking so fond of him to me.
"Maybe he's trying to protect his heart from breaking" I tell her
"Everyone has to experience a little heartbreak in their life. One can't always be afraid of what ifs, the risks are always worth taking." She's a wise woman, always has been.
"Ok, so on with the tour, " she walked towards the end of the hall were stairs going down were located.
When we reached the basement, there were only two doors. One door had a bunch of posters,
"Man Cave Rules"
"Warning"
"Biohazard"
"Caution! Loud music. Keep out!"
"Collins man cave"
"24 hours/24 beers"

Those were only some of the few posters he had up on the door. She entered the room and immediately the smell of cologne hit my nostrils.
THIS ROOM IS SO FRIGGING COOL!
The flooring was carpet designed like a football field, and the walls were a grayish color. When you walk in, the first thing you see is a foosball and billiards table. Behind the billiards table is a mini bar with a box of 24 beers out. Then you walk a little further and there is an opening, in which inside there is a large brown sofa with a bunch of sporty bean bag chairs. In front of that was a large TV. To the side of that was a large bureau, in which what appears to be games and movies were stacked. Under the TV, there was a PS4. Right next to the bureau there was a closet.

"Hey guys. This is a new guest that will be staying with me for 5 months." My eyes finally settled on the couch and I noticed 2 guys and a girl sitting there.
"Um.. Hi, " I said rather shyly, I gave them a small wave.
"Sup new girl, how you liking Florida?" The girl said, the first thing I noticed about her was that she likes eyeliner and her hair is a really pretty light blue/purple color.
"I don't know, I pretty much just got here." I said.
"Well then consider us your new friends" the guy with dark skin said.
"Speak for yourself" the girl said, then walked off.
"Don't worry about her, that's her everyday personality." The other guy said.

"So what's your name?" The dark skinned guy asked
"Natasha, how about you?"
"I'm Hunter and this is James. Oh, and the girl that walked off is Cleopatra" said the dark skinned one, Hunter. Hunter is about 6 feet tall and looks no younger than 18. While James looks almost 6 feet but not quite there and about 17 or 18 years old. They both look muscular, but Hunter is a bit bulkier than James, and James looks more like the basketball type, while Hunter looks like the football type.
"So what brings you to Coconut Grove?" James asked.
"My mom decided that while she is away, I have to stay with her friend."
"I feel so bad for you, you're like the only girl in a house full of three horny guys"
"What do you mean three?"
"Yeah... Lucy Didn't tell you? She has three sons." James answered.
"No. She didn't tell me."
" If you turn around you will see son 1 and 2 walking this way" they said humorously. I turn around and see Nathan and a guy that looks slightly like Nathan but not really. They both share the same good looks, that's for sure.
"Hey, I'm Noah." The guys said, while setting up the billiards table. He placed the balls in a perfect triangle and handed a stick to James, Hunter, and Nathan.
"Do you want to play?" He asked, offering me a stick. I nodded my head and took it.
Please leave me your opinions!!! Thank you!
