my eyes at him before I walk away. I then walk to another table to see that blonde girl and her friend.

 

"Uh, what can I get for you", I ask the both of them.

 

"We didn't come here for this crappy food. We came to talk to you", she says looking me dead in my eyes. I look around and then look back at her. "I heard VJ took you home yesterday", she says to me.

 

"Ok", is all I say. I don't know what she expects me to say to her.

 

"I don't like you talking to him. He's my boyfriend and he's to good for you, your poor, he's rich", she rudely says to me. My heartbeat quickens at what she says. I turn around and walk away from her.

 

When work ends I clean up and I hear the door open. I look over to see VJ walking up to me with a smirk on his face. I smile at him as I put down my notepad and pen.

 

"Hey, you ready", he asks me. I nod my head and follow him outside after locking up. He opens up the passenger side door for me and I get in. When he gets in he heads off to my house.

 

"VJ", I softly say his name. He turns towards me. "I don't think you should drive me home anymore after tonight", I say looking at him. He turns towards me as we stop at a red light.

 

"Why, what's wrong", he asks with his eye brows scrunched together.

 

"Your girlfriend told me that she doesn't like me being around you. She says that your to good to be around me because I'm poor and your rich", I say looking out of the window remembering what she said.

 

"She's not my girlfriend, and don't believe what she says to you", he says to me but I keep looking out of the window.

 

"Hey", he says to me. I turn and look at him. I feel him place his hand on my shoulder.

 

"Don't believe what she says, I'm not to good to be around you. I like being around you", he says looking me in my eyes. I smile a little and nod at him. He then begins driving again, when he pulls up in my driveway I can see my parents arguing through the living room window. I sigh loudly and put my hands on my head.

 

"Do your parents argue a lot", he asks me as he turns of his car. I nod my head at him.

 

"They argue all the time, sometimes they argue all night", I say shaking my head. I look over at VJ to see him looking at me as he bites his lip.

 

"Well, if you want you can stay at my place and I can drive you home tomorrow morning", he says looking at me. I think about it while looking at my parents and I nod my head.

 

"Sure", I say. He starts up his car and he begins driving. When we finally get to his house its huge and pretty. He gets out and he walks around to my side of the car.

 

"Wow, your house is, beautiful", I say to him as he opens up the passenger side door for me. I get out of his car and he locks the doors.

 

"Thanks". We walk through his front door and he turns on the lights.

 

"Do your parents mind me staying here. I don't want you to get into any trouble", I say as I follow him up a set of stairs.

 

"They don't mind. Plus, their not here, their out on business trips", he says. "This is where you'll sleep, it's the guest room", he says smirking at me. The room was brown and white, there were couches and the bed was king size.

 

"I'll bring you something to sleep in" he says as he walks out of the room. I look around before I sit on the bed. When he comes back he's holding a T-shirt in his hand.

 

"Here", he says handing me the shirt. "Goodnight", he says before walking out of the room and closing the door behind him. I begin pulling off my clothes. I put the shirt on and since I'm short and he's tall the shirt is long enough for me. I get into the bed and I feel so comfortable. This bed is definitely better than my twin sized bed.

 

 

When I wake up I rub my eyes. I roll over in the bed to see a little boy staring at me creepily. I widen my eyes and scream, and he screams, then I scream again. He jumps up and runs into the closet shutting the door behind him. I get ready to jump out of the bed but my foot is caught in the covers so I fall out of bed.  Then the bedroom door swings open.

 

"AnaBelle, are you ok", he says helping me off the floor. I grab onto his arm and point at the closet.

 

"In there", I whisper to him. He raised his eyebrows at me before walking over to the closet with me still holding on to his arm. He slowly opens the closet door and in there stands a little boy about the age of 13 or 14. He just smiles up at VJ.

 

"Reed, out", VJ says and the boy quickly walks out of the room. I sigh loudly and VJ looks at me with an amused look. I look down and see that he's only wearing a towel around his waist. I quickly let go of his arm and I blush looking away.

 

"Sorry about my brother, he has problems", he says smirking at me. "Why don't you go downstairs and wait on me in the kitchen", VJ says to me. I nod.

 

When I get into the kitchen I sit at a table and I wait on VJ. When VJ walks in Reed is next to him.

 

"Reed, apologize", VJ says to his younger brother. Reed rolls his eyes and he comes up to me.

 

"I'm sorry that I was staring at you in your sleep, it's just that, when there's a hot girl in your guest room it's hard not to stare". I see that VJ is upset and I laugh at what Reed says.

 

"It's ok, you just scared me a little", I say to Reed still laughing.

 

"A little, you screamed in my face and fell off the bed. I'd say you were terrified, but that would be an understatement", he says laughing and I laughed with him. This little boy is funny.

 

"Reed go upstairs", VJ says to his brother. Reed waves bye to me and I wave bye back to him. VJ sits down across from me and looks at me and I look back at him. I get up and I begin rummaging through his kitchen for stuff.

 

"What're you doing", he says as he watches my every move. I open a bottom cabinet and I see what I need.

 

"I'm making breakfast", I say going into his refrigerator and pulling out eggs, bacon and strawberries. open a top cabinet but I can't reach the pan that I see. I jump trying to get it but I still can't reach it. I feel someone close behind me and then I see a hand grab the pan easily for me. I turn and see VJ, I blush and he hands me the pan.

 

"Thank you", I say moving from in front of him. I begin cooking the food and VJ would help me with some things.

 

"Hey, don't eat that strawberry, we need those", I say slapping VJ's hand from the strawberry and making him drop it back in the box.

 

"I only want one", he says smiling at me. I laugh at him.

 

"There's only six strawberries in there, and that's three for me, you, and your brother. The foods almost done", I say still laughing at him.

 

When the food gets finished everyone makes a plate. Me and VJ at the kitchen table while Reed takes his food to his room because he said, and I quote 'I'm to smart to eat at a table with VJ'.

 

"This is good, you can good", VJ say as he takes a bite out of the eggs I made. I smile at him.

 

"Thanks, my grandma taught me how to cook". He nods at me while smiling.

 

"Do you have to work tonight", he asks me. I shake my head no.

 

"Nope, Sunday's are my nights off", I say answering his question.

When we both finish eating I begin washing dishes. "Hey, you don't have to do that", he says stopping me.

 

"I want to, I'm the one who cooked", I say washing again.

 

"It's fine Belle, we have a maid who comes every afternoon". I roll my eyes and say ok. "Do you like swimming", he asks me. I lift one eyebrow at him and I smile.

 

"Why, do you have a pool", I say still smiling.

 

"Yep, and I think we should swim in it", he says smirking at me. I shake my head at him.

 

"I don't have a swim suit". He bites his lip and then he quickly runs up his stairs. When he comes back he has a two piece in his hand.

 

"You can wear this, it was my sisters but she's at college so she won't mind". I grab the two piece and he shows me to the bathroom. I change into it and I look in the bathroom mirror. I put the T-shirt over it and I walk out of the bathroom. We walk outside and I see a huge pool. I notice that VJ has changed  into swimming trunks. I take the T-shirt off and throw it on the ground. He grabs my hand and I look at our hands together.

 

"Ready", he says smiling at me. I look up at him and I nod. "Ok, One, two, three". We both jump in together and I feel my feet touch the bottom of the pool before coming all the way up to the top. I wipe my face while laughing. VJ then splashes me with water and I splash some back. I swim up to him and dunk him under the water and he grabs my waist and dunks me. I swim away from him and I splash him. He laughs at me and I laugh back at him.

 

"Come here", he says motioning me to him. I smile at him and I shake my head.

 

"Nope". He then begins swimming towards me and I swim away but he catches up to me and he pulls me down under the water with him. When we com back up were both laughing.

 

"Having fun". Me and VJ both turn to see Jake, Brinley, and that blonde girl standing there looking at us. My laughing instantly stops as I see the look the blonde girls is giving me. I look at VJ and he looks back at me. Me and VJ both get out of the pool and I follow him upstairs to a room that I'm guessing is his room. He throws me and towel and I wrap myself up as he wipes himself off. 

 

"I'll be right back", he says walking towards the door. "You can just find something to wear in my closet", he says before waling out. I look around and notice he has a bathroom so I walk in the bathroom and close the door. I turn on the shower water and take off the two piece right before getting in the shower.  

 

Once I finish showering I wrap the towel around my body and walk out of the bathroom and into his closet. I put on a T-shirt and sweatpants. Right when I come from his closet he walks back into his room.

 

"Sorry about them, they always walk into the house whenever", he says smirking at me. I shrug at him.

 

"It's fine", I say looking at the floor. "I should go now, my parents are probably worried about me", I say looking up at him to see him already looking at me. He says ok and I wait for him to change before he drives me home.
