Chapter 1 – It's a secret…
Your Name is "Melody Scarlet Pearce", you have caramel coloured skin, you have dark brown eyes with glints of violet and gold. You're of an average height, 17 years old and you have just moved from Manhattan to a small homely place in Scotland.
You live with your parents and a 7 year old Brother called Jay-jay and a 12-year-old sister called Bethany.
You sit in the car 'damn parents making me leave all my friends, and-' you sigh out loud '-Jack, I hope he doesn't hate me for leaving him. I didn't want to, honest! ' You hear a soft tapping at the window, you look up "Melody get out of the car you can't live in there you know?" your mother scowls.
You reluctantly gather your belongings and get out of the car. You turn to close the door before you back against it as to let a couple of movers get past with the couch "sorry milady". You nod your head to them, before you realise all the people moving around with all the furniture and your belongings. Your eyes fall onto your new home. Your mouth drops open.
"You've got to be kidding me!" you look at the house that stands in front of you. It looks like a mansion. The house is 2 storeys and it's a beautiful Victorian looking house.
You slowly walk up to the house, dodging all the people bustling around. It was nothing like the apartment in Manhattan. You actually had a lawn, not to mention what seemed like ½ a football field for it.
You gently push open the front door "Wow!" was all you could say, well everyone was bustling around the room. 'I can't believe I live here!'
Your eyes gaze over your surroundings.
In front of you there were was a staircase to the right, the rail was made of what looked like white marble. The floor was a light cream colour and shone so brightly you could see your own reflection. The walls matched the floor perfectly. It was a nice cream with golden trimmings.
'I bet mum picked this place' you snicker to yourself. There is a short corridor left of the staircase which leads to what looks like an office and bathroom. To your right there is a large area; 'this must be the living room, since the couch is in here.'
On the wall further away from you, there is a Fireplace. It had cream bricking giving a soft touch to the room. You turn your head and decide to see upstairs. You make to walk up the stairs only to walk into a moving solid object. "Ow!"
"I'm sorry. I di'nt mean to knock you over. Are y' ok?" some one says. He had a very thick Scottish accent. You rub your head before a hand comes out of nowhere in front of you.
You grab his hand and he pulls you up. 'Now to find out who this guy is? ' You follow his hand, up his arm 'wow nice arms, looks like some one works out' followed by his body, your eyes widen 'Oh my god! He's Shirtless! And extremely hot! He's even got abs! Whoa! Now I must see who this guy is' you finally meet his eyes.
He smirks at you. 'Is it me or is it hot in here? ' You turn away and blush.
"Oh. I..Uh…um? Are you a mover?" you slowly turn your head to meet his eyes. He was quite tall, but not much more than you. He had Chocolate brown eyes and had a nice tan, probably from lounging out in the sun too long you thought.
"Nope" he replies, still smiling. 'What's he smiling about? Please don't tell me I've got something on my face' you bring a hand up to your face and rub your cheek.
"No. You don't have anything on your face?" he tells you.
"What are you a mind reader?" you reply rather snappishly.
"No, you've been talking out loud, since you got in" he says sharply catching you off guard.
"Oh no. You're joking?" you reply rather sceptically. 'Oh, please, dear god no!'
"Actually I am," he answers cheekily. You laugh out loud and punch him playfully.
"I'm Melody but you can call me 'Melody'" you say with a slight giggle, holding out a hand to shake. He chuckles lightly and grabs your hand.
He shakes it gently, well keeping eye contact. 'Wow, he's got a good grip-' you squeeze a bit tighter and he squeezes your hand harder in return
'oh! Two can play at this game' you smirk at him. "And your name is, May I ask?" he looks at you questioningly, before answering, "I'm a new acquaintance," he says with a smirk. Before letting go of your hand.
You look down and realise that you were standing very close. You take a step back.
"Well I don't think its fair if you know my name and I don't know yours?" you say back defiantly. He continues staring at you, his eyes piercing into your head.
"All you need to know is I'll be back again," he says he walks slowly to the door before exiting he says "- See ya Pearce"
Leaving you completely disgruntled. You scratch your chin lightly.
'Huh? I didn't tell him my last name did I?'
