Chapter 3: The Place & Ages
"Well, come on then. I'll give you a tour of the place."
Since they were still at the door, he showed her everything from the beginning.
"To the right is the living room. Then down the hall and to the left is the kitchen. There's a door right before you get to the kitchen, which leads into the basement. I don't really use it for anything except storage because it's such a big space and upstairs there are two rooms with bathrooms and another separate bathroom. Your room is the second door to the left and mine is the first door to the right." Once he said this he suddenly stopped and turned to face her. But since he did it without anticipation, she again, ran right into him. –But once she was balanced he continued with what he was saying.
"Don't ever go into my room unless I let you in."
"Why?"
"Because I happen to like my privacy." He saw her nod in understanding.
"Well, anyways, I'll put your box in your room and then I have to head out to work. Make yourself comfortable while I'm gone and just try not to go into my room."
"Yeah. Yeah.—Hey, where do you work?"
"If you must know, I'm vice-president in my family's corporation that is located here in Japan. My mother is the president in the main branch that is in China. But since there are soo many branches, I'm pretty much considered the president here."
"WoWww! So you must be pretty old huh?" she started to walk around him like a volture, eyeing him up and down. –"Although you look pretty young."
He didn't know why, but the way she was looking at him made him blush.—He grabbed her by her arm to make her stop circling him.
"That's because I am. I'm only 22."
"But you're so high in your position."
"That's because this is a family business, which means that I automatically inherit it."
"That's soo cool."
"Yeah—well...so how old are you?"
"18." She said matter-o-factly.
What the hell was Eriol thinking,-sending him this girl to live with him.—He knew his friend was only trying to help. Eriol still said that he acted cold towards people and it was probably true.—But he had a girlfriend now, shouldn't that be enough for Eriol to shut up.—But with this girl,....apparently not.
"Hey, is something wrong?" she asked him once she saw confusion in his eyes.
"No. It's just that you're so young."
"Well, duh.—I mean, I did just graduate."
"But then...why would Eriol send you to live with me?"
"That's what I wanted to know. All he said was that this place was close to the college that I'm going to and that the other reason, I didn't need to know..but, that I would find out in time. But what he also failed to mention was that someone already lived here."
"That's so like him. –Well there's nothing that we can do about it now. Might as well learn to live with that fact, until Eriol decides to tell us his reason."
And with that, he took her box to what she supposed was her room and started heading out the door.
"Try to get comfortable and if you get hungry there should be some food in the fridge. And I'll also leave all of my contact numbers on the table if you need me."
"Ok.-Bye."
Now she was left all to her lonesome. She decided to go to her room and see what it was like. –Once inside she noticed that it was pretty big. It was kind of like a medium master bedroom. It had a walk-in closet and bathroom with a shower/tub. She decided with a smile that she liked her new bedroom. All it needed now was some furniture and a paint job to make it look livelier.
