Secrets Worth Keeping (Finding my Home #2)- Nikita Parmenter Page 0,58
carrying as many grocery bags as he can.
I take my bags off of Rafe and he chuckles quietly.
“Are you ok, Sunshine?” Riot grins.
“I’m excited, the snows so pretty and I want to explore” I explain practically giddy.
“Surely you had snow back in Fresno?” Jensen asks as we all start to make our way towards the house and up the wide porch steps.
We’ll have to make two trips for the groceries.
“Yeah we did, but it didn’t stay all pretty and white for very long it turned into brown slushy stuff that hid needles and glass and all kinds of nasty stuff” I grimace.
“Ah I get you” he replies.
Trick finally opens the door and I gape in shock at the surroundings.
The door opens up into a massive open plan space. Right at the back of the cabin is a large kitchen all natural wood and surprisingly dust free since the guys haven’t been here since last winter. Along the back wall are massive glass doors that look like they lead out onto a back porch as big as the one at the front, I wonder if that's where the hot tub that Cash mentioned before is. Next to the kitchen and the other side of the wide doors is a giant table big enough for all of us and some guests to eat comfortably. To the right of the front door is a wide stairs case that leads up to the second floor and I’m guessing bedrooms.
The rest of the space is broken up into a large lounge area with a massive u-shaped couch facing a large river rock fireplace and a huge tv that has games consoles underneath of course. There’s also a couple of arm chairs by the large front window that face out into the snow covered wonderland outside and an air hockey table on the same side as the stairs that looks a little out of place. I’m surprised at how clean everywhere is considering the guys haven’t been here for a long time and now that I’m take in the size of the room I realise that the the outside looks bigger than the inside.
“Wow this place is amazing!” I praise as the guys dump their bags by the stairs and take whatever grocery bags they managed to carry into the kitchen. “Why does the outside look bigger than the inside? Also how come there’s no dust or anything?” I ask.
“Good eye, Sweetheart” Trick compliments. He comes over and grabs my hand leading me over towards the stairs.
He presses a panel on the wall and a door pops open as if from nowhere, it blends in so seamlessly when it’s shut that even knowing it’s there I wouldn’t be able to find it.
“So freaking cool” I mutter and Trick chuckles.
Behind the door is a wide hallway and Trick starts telling me whats behind each door.
“I’ll start on the left. So the first door is a cold room for extra food storage in case we get snowed in, the back up generator is in there too obviously not in the cold room part. Next is the gym, then there’s a library, next one is a sauna room and small plunge pool. I've never really been sure what the point of the plunge pool is, but it came with the house when we bought it” he chuckles.
I giggle before what he’s said registers and I gape at him in shock.
“You bought it?” I interrupt and he turns back to face me. “Yeah Sweetheart, me and the guys own this place equally.”
“But how?” I ask, they’re only eighteen or nineteen. In fact Jensen and Luc are still seventeen like me.
“Investments. Jensen is surprisingly good with money and investments, like scary good. We made some money off of the fights in the pit and instead of blowing it all like we wanted to Jensen convinced us to invest. The best decision we’ve ever made. Jensen handles all of that still. In fact if you want to invest any of your inheritance when you get it when you turn eighteen, I highly suggest letting Jensen do it. None of us are exactly strapped for cash anymore.”
I stare at him in shock for a while, that’s just crazy. Jensen being so money smart is surprising but only because he acts so carefree most of the time unless he’s fighting. I’m extremely impressed, and a little hot for him right now. That really isn’t surprising though, I’m always hot for them.
