Ephemeral

Chapter 10

A/N: The music above can be played while you read the whole chapter but I advise you to play it after the pic of the house. Enjoy reading 🥰💖

I got in the car after putting all of my stuff in the backseat only to notice Theo sitting like a stone statue deep in thought. He was so spaced out that he did not even notice me sliding into the seat beside him. " BOO!!", I said creepily scaring the shit out of him. He looked at me annoyed but the next moment had a wide grin on his face. Was he bipolar?

"So you gonna tell me where your house is or are we staying in this car tonight", I said with mischievous grin on my face. He sighed and told me the location as I typed it in my phone.

I pulled over at his house or should I say mansion. There were bright lights between the trees that paved the way to the entrance of his mansion. The path between the gate and door to his house divided the lawn in front of his house. 

A/N: A glimpse of the house 😊

He must have noticed my awestruck face because he said," Don't worry this house is not mine". "Whatttttttt??", I asked confused.

" Oh my dear sis, this house is yours, mom and dad left it in your name, mine was destroyed when Ryan attacked and kidnapped mom and dad, as we lived there after he burned mom and dad's house when he took you away from us", he explained.

My mouth fell open in shock as I took another look at the magnificent house in front of me. I am frickin rich and... wait my parents had three houses? 

"Are you gonna sleep in the car tonight Trace?", Theo teased me bringing me back to reality. I said a quick no and stepped out of the car. As I was going to open the door of the backseat to get my luggage a pale but strong hand grabbed the door handle before I could reach it. My eyes followed the hand to its owner and for the second time I stood with my eyes wide open.

His dark brown eyes shining as the lights from the house reflected in them, his soft black hair covering his forehead. His white t-shirt framing his thin but muscular body. He was wearing dark blue jeans which were very similar to what I was wearing. His skin was pale and his lips were a light shade of pink. I was staring at him while he put my luggage in a cart when suddenly his gaze shifted to me. I looked away embarassed, when Theo walked up to me and put his hand around my shoulders, while saying,"So I see that both of you have met. Let me introduce you both, Aaron this is my sis Trace and Trace this my best friend and work partner Aaron". Aaron!!! so this was the guy who I had spoken to earlier. I have to admit that he looks really good.

- Aaron's POV - 

Theo texted me that he and Tracy are going to arrive soon so I decided to change as I was wearing pyjamas. What would you suppose me to wear at night a tuxedo?

I heard the purr of the engine of Theo's car and quickly went downstairs to greet him and his sister. My room was on the upper floor.

I stepped out of the house to see Theo on one side of the car taking out some luggage and I was going to help him when I noticed her. I walked up to her instead and opened the car door and helped her with the luggage. I felt her staring at me so I looked up at her when Theo came from behind and put his hand around her shoulder and started saying something. I did not hear what he said as I too busy staring at her. Her beautiful brown hair was tied up in a ponytail behind her. Her eyes were the most beautiful thing that I had ever seen, those brown orbs landed on everything else except me. She too was pale skinned like me. Her thin fingers fidgeted as she avoided looking at me. Her pale blue top and dark blue jeans framed her thin body. Her baby pink lips were parted as she sucked a breath in. So this beauty in front of me was Tracy, of whom I had heard a lot about.

Hey everyone I had not updated for a long time as I was busy so to make up for it I updated twice consecutively. Thank you all for more than a 100 reads for my first book. By the way what are your views on Aaron?
