I AM HOME

"Finding myself is a journey and not ready to take"

***

When I was a child I found it hard to interact with people, always messing word or saying something out of topic and that really messed up everything.

But now I can hold a conversation even if it's really useless I can hold one, and seeing as I'm starting a new life it's going to be an everyday occasion to interact with alot of people. With the course I want to study I hope I meet people who have that fire I feel every time I explain or just read.

Having fallen asleep in the car I expected Seth to wake me up and tell me we have arrived, but I did not expect to find myself on a really soft cloud like bed with a fleece blanket on me. Pulling it off me, my feet meet the fluffy snow white carpet I immediately feel like getting back in the covers but I fight the urge and get up.

I can hear a soft feminine voice, it's music and it's Jhené Aiko it's not hard to figure out, looking at my surrounding the walls are a light gray room with a pale pink mix, the bed it's Queen sized and the covers are gray as well with a darker shade of gray pillow case.

The room is really big, I can tell it has a bathroom and toilet, I guess we are on the top floor because I have a balcony and the few is breath taking, I have a closet too it's way bigger than anything I have owned hell the whole room is way bigger than anything I have ever owned, It's time to check the whole house shall we.

Opening the door, it was like I walked into in new world full of life. The music was on full blast it's crazy how I didn't hear much of it more like a whisper, walking out I follow where the music is coming from which led me to a living room out of my room the walls are white and the living room is white with a couple of blacks and grays, the carpet is black with a white coffee table,the L- shaped couch is a soft white but is leather.

The TV is mounted on the wall, it looked new shining black, I can see a console and controller looks like there was a game being played maybe an hour or so ago. Across the living room is the kitchen it's separated by the kitchen island, the counters are marble white with appliances on it they all look like they haven't been touched. Slowing easing into the kitchen I noticed I haven't seen anyone not even a voice except from the music playing, it's too loud but I don't know where I can reduce it from.

Walking back into the living room, a remote sitting on the coffee table maybe it can just turn it off, but before I even touch it I hear keys from the other side of the door and the door opening makes me stand straight.

"Oh you're awake, I just went to grab some food, it's too loud in here." Seeing him putting the bags he has on the island "ALEXA put off the music, sorry about that I probably forgot to turn it off, did it wake you?" Turning to look at me.

"No, no it did not" he moves from where his standing and comes up right in front of me

"Hey, I am sorry about yesterday I didn't mean to make you wait I was ...ah busy with something, I hope you can forgive me" now that his close I can make out the tiny freckles on the bridge of his nose and on his cheeks the color of his eyes is more prominent. Wait did he say yesterday.

"Wait did you say yesterday" taking a few steps back seeing as he was close enough to touch me.

"Yeah, you've been asleep for that long, you were pretty tired" stepping back too he runs his fingers through his hair " I'm sure your hungry " turning away from me he grabs the paper bags he came with and into the kitchen.

"Wow that long...and here I thought it was just a few hours, what do you have in there" leaning on the island " I am starving" my stomach responding to my statement.

"Oh I can hear that" he chuckled softly.

"So when do we go on a tour? I would love to see more of this place, it's beautiful" walking in the kitchen, looking out the window and noticing the people walking down below, it's so beautiful, it's autumn, back home it's summer though it wasn't as hot as it usually is.

It's so beautiful with light shades of green, dark browns and orange leafs falling from the trees. It looks a little chilly , most people I've seen are wearing coats, looking a bit feather there looks to be a small café and it looks busy.

"Did you get the food there?" I said turning around to look at him, finding the food on both plates which consists of pancakes, two muffins, a bowl is placed close to the plate which has berries and when I say berries it's all of them with yogurt at the bottom, a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows " whoa" is all I managed to let out.

"I wasn't sure what to get so I got everything I like, if you don't want the sweet stuff I can go get something else?" Eyes still focused on the food, I'm not much of a sweet tooth but I'd like to try all of that.

"No it's okay" still not looking at him, knowing he was watching my everything move did not disturb my mission to completely inhale the food on the plate.

Taking a sit the first thing I taste is the hot chocolate and completely melt, it's not like the hot chocolate I would make at home with creamer and cocoa no this one actually tastes like chocolate. Did I die and wake up in heaven? Maybe just maybe. When the pancakes touched my tongue I was a goner I am in love, deeply in love with this pancake.

"Do you and the pancakes need a moment? Because I feel like I'm intruding on your moment there?" Finally looking at him I noticed he hasn't touched his food yet and is leaning back on his sit with his arms crossed, with a smirk on his mouth.

"Oh no you are welcome to watch" I shrugged and that got a laugh out of him, it was short but it was nice hearing it, with that he begin eating as well

Halfway through the food, I remembered I haven't spoken or even texted Mary she must think I have forgotten or worse choose not to text her.

Getting up really fast that it startled Seth, I run to my room looking for the phone. Checking the covers,under the bed in the closet an bathroom still nothing, heading back in the kitchen.

"Have you seen my phone anywhere? I really need to talk to Mary, oh my gosh she probably thinks I forgot about her, what if she tried calling,wher-" I was stopped by strong hands on my shoulders but it's wasn't to hard to hurt me but to get my attention.

"Hey breath alright" doing as he says I take a deep breath " good now listen alright? I spoke to them both and told them you were safe and that you were tired and slept in , they will call later but they said you would when you are comfortable okay?" Nodding my head slowly, my hair was in a loose bun and some of my curls cupped my face, pushing a few behind my ear I looked down and noticed how close we were to each other, I immediately pulled away and cleared my throat.

"Thank you, I was so worried." I say in a soft voice, knowing they were the closest thing I had to family losing them would be horrible.

"I am sorry I didn't mention it before" sitting as well and scratching the back of his head, I have noticed he does that alot maybe a nervous treat.

"It's okay" my appetite gone and a now cold hot chocolate, I grab the spoon close to the bowl of first.

"And about a tour I'd love to show you around if you like ,I can call a couple of my friends to make you more comfortable yeah?" He said eating his first too.

"That would be great thanks" getting up to clear the table.

"You don't need to do that" he got up too and tired to take the plates from me.

"No no , you got breakfast and set the table the least I could do is clean up after we are done" getting the last of the plates and putting them in the sink.

I wash all the things we used, cleaned the table and floor. It was as clean as it was when I walked in earlier, Seth went to his room saying he needed a bath and that we could leave at 3pm and it is currently 11:30am. I might as way pack up my things in my room they aren't much anyway.

As I was packing the last of my things, I heard loud shouting in the living room and high pitched laughter next thing was a crush, finally putting my shoes away. I rushed to the living room and what I found was anything but weird.

"Umh whats going on here?" Walking further in the room, Seth was on the ground with a guy on top of him who held him by his cheeks and was making kissy faces, whilst Seth tried pushing him away but to no avail.

"Vieni Seth, so che ti sei perso, lascia che ti dia un bacio" it looks like what the blonde guy said really pissed Seth off because the force he used sent the blonde guy flying off him to the floor next to the couch, well that must have hurt.

"Don't you dare come near me Like I'll smash your face in" getting up and brushing invisible dirt off him, as he looked up from the floor it looked like he just noticed me and his glare on Luka intensified "Davanti anche davanti a lei, Sofia sì, ma pioggia?" Pioggia means Rain in Italian so I'm guessing I was talked about.

"I would appreciate it if you'd use English, it's rude" crossing my arm over my chest, I noticed another figure on the couch with all that was happening I was focused on the boys on the ground but how could I not notice the beautiful girl there.

Her hair is the lightest shade of blonde almost white, her eyes a really light gray too almost clear and from here they look Cristal like, she is petite I could tell she's a few inches shorter than me. Her pink plump lips and cute button nose, her high cheek bones just made her more attractive.

With her hair tied in a tight bun with a few curls to frame her face, a white tight fitting long sleeved crop top and dark blue skinny jeans and cute sandals really did her justis. I look like I just get out of bed with my black sweats and a t-shirt big enough to fit both me and her .

"Oh where are your manners boys" scolding them she quickly made her way to me eyes bright " Hello, my name is Sofia and the idiot on the floor is Luka, we are friends of Seth he asked us over to make you feel comfortable" out stretching her hand for me to shake, I took it and then she pulled me into a hug.

She's so tiny I felt like a giant with how thick my thighs are and how round shaped my butt was, even my boobs were bigger. Slowly rapping my arms around her frame, he let out a last squeeze and let go grinning like she just won a lottery.

"You don't sound Italian, more English than anything." moving away from the close proximity.

"Oh yes, I am British but I've lived here long enough to learn the language" giggling she walked back to the couch and grabbed the remote."Shouldn't you get ready?" She turned and looked at my outfit.

"I was going to but I heard the noise" looking at Luka who was still on the ground sulking.

"Luka that really rude, say hi to Rain" Sofia scolded tossing her shoe at him.

"Hey, what was that for?" His blonde hair was also curly but shorter than Seth's, his hair had a little bit of brown in it. He got up to his full length and he could easily be a basketball player , he looks to be 5'11 or something.

In a fitting black tee and black jeans his hair stood out and his dark blue eyes twinkled with mischief but the smile on his face made him look boyish in a way, a sharp jawline but his smile softened his features. Closing the distance between us he hugged me and spined me around like a child.

"You are more beautiful than they described and way softer than I imagined" still hugged me, I was shocked at how he could hug a complete stranger.

"Stop that you are scaring her" Seth said coming between us and standing in front of me "Stop it, remember rendendola comoda non la spaventa " he said in a firm voice.

"Okay okay, my name is Luka but most call me Luka it's completely different but who wants to correct them" did he just say the same name but different pronunciation pushing Seth aside so he could be looking at me "It's a pleasure meeting you" he said taking my hand in his kissing it softly.

"Uh thanks , I'll just go get ready" awkwardly pointing towards my door and turning on my heels .

Once I'm in my room I locked the doors, who's to say they wouldn't just come in when I'm haft dressed or worse naked.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

We walked out of the apartment building and stood on the side walk, Seth and Luka went to get the car while we stood here waiting.

Sofia had a deal blue coat over her outfit and a white head sock, it was chilly outside. My outfit wasn't any different expect from the coat, colors and head wear, in a pair of black skinny jeans, black sweatshirt and white Nike Air Force ones . I let my hair down into it's natural curls, back home I'd always tie into a ponytail or bun never down I never felt confident enough to do that but this is a new place so I'm trying out new stuff.

"Are they really going to take this long, it's quite chilly out here" she huffed her cheeks turning a light shade of pink, she looked annoyed.

"They'll get here soon enough" I shrugged my shoulder and looked around I still can't get passed this view it's so pretty with all the colour mixed.

"I swear if Luka has somehow locked them both inside the car I'll kill him" grabbing her phone from her back pocket and typing fast.

"How does he lock them both from the inside? Is that even possible?" Scratching my head, and thinking about how that's even possible.

"With Luka anything is" she rolled her eyes and looked to her phone again.

"Okay then" rocking on my heels. This got awkward pretty quick or is it just me .

"Where are you from again?" Now off her phone her cristal gray eyes looking into my contact covered brown ones.

"Oh Zambia" I said looking away.

"Isn't that one of the counties England colonised? I'm sure I've read something about that" okay that took a huge turn to a sensitive part of love for the country I wanted nothing but to run away from. And I don't know if I should be offended because it's kinda busy racist in a oblivious way or simply brush it off, I'll take the latter because I don't want to hate her because of her off handed insult .

"I'm sure it is, there is a falls named after Queen Victoria, is there not" now she completely turned to me and I just looked away some emotions I can't keep at bay will show on my face.

Just then the car pulled up in front of us and Luka was driving with Seth in the back with a scowl on his face, Sofia got in the front sit probably sensing the vibe but Luka had a grin on his face his attractive I'll give you that but I could tell that was a smile of complete happiness like he won himself a buzz light-year toy.

Getting in the back with Seth , he was on his phone and once I got in he looked and smirked.

"Enjoy the ride Rain" he then turned an looked out the window.

Luka revved the car and I get what Seth means now.

I hope I don't die, with my seatbelt on I brace myself.
