Chapter 9

My car came to a roundabout with a fountain at the center, swept around it, and continued up toward a fantastic sprawling house.

The mansion loomed proudly, flanked by rows of skeletal trees crowned in crimsons, swaying gently to the chilly atumn wind. It was shocking when i came there and all my stuff was already packed in multiple boxes seeing that i had a lot of things being the daughter of a wealthy billionaire and all.

On cue. Obviously on cue. Shoes echoed through the house, i glanced at the staircase and black shooes walking down, followed by the biggest grin on the person's face.

"Mr Carrington", i said with a hint of suprised.

"Lizzie, hello dear",The man said and smiled.

"You're here?" I asked.

"Of course, i had to make sure you two don't chew each other's head off on the first day". Mr Carrington chuckled.

"Where is she", i asked.

The sound of the glass transparent being flunged open echoed throughout the entire mansion, our nrcks snapped so fast in the direction of the door to see skye standing there, her hands held on her hips and a smirk on her face.

She pushed her sunglasses to her head, pushing back a few strands of hair so her blue eyes were now in view.

My eyes trailed over her body and her crop top which exposed her perfectly shaped stomach, her tight blue jeans hugged her curves in all the right places. I subconsciously bit my lip, a heat traveled to my chest.

"Alright, take that to my room and get rid of those pictures on the wall, they look terrible", Skye said.

A few people suddenly emerged from behind her carring wooden frames and the rest of Skye belongings.

The pictures on the wall were taken down by the people as they hung posters of her in some shoot that she had done for different company.

The rest of the workers carried the rest of her belongings up the stairs, some brought in chairs and tables.

Others sprayed every inch of the house to disinfect it, wiping every counter and shining the glass.

Skye approached us with a smile on her face, but it was only meant for her father, she didn't rvrn acknowledge my presence.

But she still managed to look absolutely perfect, her blue eyes looked much lighter but it still made my heart do a flip in my chest as i fought to contain my own smile just looking at Skye.

"LIZZIE" Mr Carrington yelled.

"Huh? What?" I snapped out of her gaze.

"Where'd your mind go, you dozed out a bit" Mr Carrington said.

Skye glanced at my direction once again, seeing the girl's smile get wider, noticing a pink stain on her cheek.

"Don't worry about it".

It was the type of cold that reached into your bones, as if your heart was left wide open. The only thing to do was keep moving, keep heading towards home and steady warmth of the earth.

The morning was normal, the sun appearing in the clouds and no form of rain or snow.

The Sky was rolling blankets of clouds, and the ground in dark reflection. Each day became a blessing for people as they prayed.

Lizzie shuddered and pulled her robe closer to her chest, the girl was already drenched in her sweater, pajamas and sock but her robe was the only thing keeping her warm.

Her feet touched the marbled floor of the mansion as she slowly takes steps to the first floor.

Skye was no where in sight but the lights of the house was still on, Lizzie could not bring herself to sleep in the new room because she missed her partner in crime, HELEN, but she still managed to pull herself out of bed and headed downstairs.

She'd been so accustomed to living with her sister in their penthouse, her old house was loud every morning due to Helen horrible punk music and very much louder and noisier at night because of the constant partying which was hosted by her sister and your's truly.

Her best friend tony was always gaming and yelling at himself for failing to beat the next level or being the dumbass she is and danced around our penthouse for no reason.

My other best friend Jack was like a father to me in my penthouse, vacuuming for me and my sister day and night.

The noise always gave me a headache but i can't complain because she was doing us a huge favour.

My dark brown eyes scanned the entire room below the staircase and still no sign of Skye.

I didn't even anyway to contact the girl if something happened. We still haven't spoken to each other since we moved in together.

I went in search of her and later found her in the gym wearing a very short calvin klein sportsbra and short. WOW, i stood there gawking at her body like total fucking creep, why did she have to be so beautiful for God sake.

"Like what you see" she said which made me to snap out of my thought.

"Maybe" i was shocked at my own confidence.

"Would you like to take it" she said with a mischievous grin on her face.

"I might, if you're offering" i said again, LIZZIE Sshut the hell up.

"Why don't you join me first and we'll see what happens" skye said.

,

"But i'm not wearing my sportsbra and short".

LIzzie smirked,"But you're wearing a bra right".
