"This is your house?" I asked astonished. He only chuckled as he parked the car.
"It's our house," he corrected. I was only even more shocked as I got out of the car. Elias came around
to my side and led my up the walkway to the giant mahogany double doors. Pushing it open, the inside
of the house looked like something out of a millionaires guide to perfect houses. There was a giant
glass chandelier welcoming us at the entrance. I paused and looked at the double winding staircase
and balcony.
"This is unreal," I whispered. The marble tile, the glass tables, the prestige wood, everything about the
house was beautiful and over the top. This must have been the house I was in originally in. This entire
entrance explains why I fell from a third story.
"Your room is upstairs for the time being. It's the one you were in before I had to take you to the
hospital," he confirmed. I couldn't help but to blush.
"Honestly, I wasn't going to jump to hurt myself. I was trying to escape," I said quickly. He only sighed.
"I know, and that's my fault," he said, taking my hand and leading me to another room on the first floor.
The living room had plush black suede couches and a giant television. The living room had a smooth
closed transition into the kitchen. It looked like the kitchen had never been used before. All chrome and
silver accessories and grey marble counters. The floor was white tile and the refrigerator and freezer
were industrial sized. There were a few televisions in the corners of the kitchen as well. I was in
heaven. I loved cooking, and this was incredible. I grazed my fingers over the countertop on the island.
"Wow," I breathed. I opened the refrigerator to see that it was fully stocked with every food imaginable.
I fished through the walk-in pantry and wasn't surprised on its depth based on the rest of the house, but
I was pleasantly surprised to find hat the back wall was covered in candy. My smile widened as I saw
my absolute favorite; Lindor milk chocolate truffles with sea salt. I grabbed a few bags and sat on the
floor as I started popping them open and shoving them in my mouth. I sighed happily and closed my
eyes as I ate bag after bag.
"Nova, where did you-"
Elias stopped when he saw me covered in chocolate wrappers. He laughed and crossed his arms as
he leaned against a post. "I think I found your kryptonite," he joked. I glared and brought the chocolate
closer to me.
"Mine," I said before I snuggled closer to my chocolate. Elias sat there and watched me as I ate myself Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
into oblivion.
"Are you going to want to see the rest of the house before we go see your dad, or do you want to stay
here for the rest if the day?" he joked. I thought about it before I put what little chocolate was left back
in the proper space and stood.
"Tour please," I said. Elias chuckled and wiped a bit of chocolate off of my cheek with his thumb. He
stuck his thumb in his mouth, tasting the chocolate before he grabbed my hand and led me through the
house. It had numerous extravagant rooms and bathrooms that went up four stories. The fourth floor
was a giant bedroom in itself. It was Elias's room. The connecting bathroom was better than any of the
other ones in the house. It had a deep Jacuzzi tub and a walk-in steam shower. There were two sinks
and a walk in closet. It was huge. Everything about the room and bathroom were amazing. The color
scheme was black, gray, and white with a hint of green. It was perfect. The bed was a giant canopy
bed, super-California king sized. It was temper-pedic as well. I tested it.
"This is amazing," I smiled.
"It's yours too, whenever you want it. It's our room. I just put you in the other room until you're
comfortable enough to be with me," he explained. I paused and just looked at him. He was being
completely serious, and I wanted to take him up on the offer, but I wanted to refrain. I knew I couldn't do
that. No matter what Elias said, I felt like I couldn't do it.
"M-my dad?" I asked, changing the subject.
"We can go now," he said.
