You are the Reason

Chapter 14

I walked up the steps towards the door ready to knock when I heard a honk behind me.

"Have fun!" Julia shouted driving off and I was pretty sure she woke the whole neighbourhood.

The front door of the house opened revealing a shirtless Shane.

I stared at him unable to form words because of his naked upper body.

Damn, he was hot.

He waved his hand in front of my face breaking me from my gaze and I blushed slightly knowing I was caught.

"Uh- hi" I managed to say looking anywhere but at him.

"Come in" he said moving to the side to let me in.

I walked into his house and I was pleasantly surprised.

His house was beautiful.

The walls were grey and had pictures of Shane and a little girl all over them. The furniture was sparkly clean and the grey couch looked really comfy. The flat screen TV was a reasonable size, the home just had a welcoming vibe to it.

"Wow" I said still looking around.

As I was about to turn back to Shane I saw a woman who was probably in her mid thirties walk out of a room opposite the kitchen.

She paused when she saw me and smiled.

"Hello, you must be Shana, nice to finally meet you" she said smiling and came to give me a hug.

Finally?

"You too Mrs Larry" I said and smiled back at her.

"Oh, call me Raven" she said then turned to her son, "put a shirt on Shane, don't scar the girl" she said and I couldn't contain my laughter.

Shane rolled his eyes.

"We're going to my room" he said to his mom and took my hand pulling me up the stairs to his room.

When we enter his room I was surprised for the second time since I stepped foot into his house.

His room was also grey, but it hand a bed in the centre of it and a small table beside it.

There was another table in the other corner of the room but this one had a chair behind it.

I turned my head and looked around and saw a guitar leaned against the wall.

I began to move towards it but stopped when I remembered where I was.

I looked back at Shane to find him watching me intently and I cleared my throat.

"Let's get started" I said clapping my hands.

"Oh my gosh, y-you really did that?" I asked laughing loudly.

We were currently couped up in Shane's room, I was sprawled out on his bed and he was on the floor.

He was telling me stories of his childhood and in this one he was dared to walk up to the girl he liked and say 'chicken' then run off.

He was humiliated and didn't get the girl.

"Don't laugh" he whined laughing along with me.

We spent an hour talking about ourselves so that we would have a start to our essay at least.

I told him about my family and about the things I like.

And in return he made me laugh with his silly memories.

"Okay, how about we start your tutoring now?" He said and got up off the floor.

Ugh, I forgot about that.

"Okay" I groaned getting off his comfy bed.

I followed him down the stairs and into a room right at the bottom.

When we entered I saw a big piano that looked freshly cleaned.

I walked up to it and took a seat, Shane sat beside me and hit a note on the piano.

"Ready?" He asked.

"Never"
