Chapter 0087

When I woke up next I was in a bed and the room was still dark with just the light from the moonshining through the sheer curtains. I stretched and took a deep breath in. This smell was all Kota.That warm cinnamon smell just lulling me deeper into the cloudlike cushion of the mattress. I wasso comfortable, I didn't want to leave, but curiosity got the better of me. I slowly sat up and lookedaround, curious at how he lived when no one was looking. I am laying in the middle of a king sizedbed with the softest light blue comforter I have ever felt. The room itself has minimal furnishings. Heeither doesn't spend a lot of time here or just doesn't like excess stuff. I replace that interesting for themore happy-go-lucky twin. The walls are a dark gray. There are double doors on either side of thebed probably leading to a closet and bathroom. The wall to the right of the bed is almost allwindows. The cream curtains are sheer to let in light but keep privacy. It looks out over the frontdrive of the house. The wall opposite of the bed had a long deep cabinet with a marble top andthree floating glass shelves above it. The wall to the left of the bed had a few framed photos of thetwins together and them with the rest of the guys.

I slowly climbed out of the bed wanting to get a closer look at what he thought of as things importantenough to remember and display. There were no pictures smaller than an 8x10. The largest in thecenter was a copy of the same family picture that was down in the main hallway. One of him andCam in sharp black suits posing together in an unfamiliar garden. Probably the second biggest wasa picture of the five boys together, maybe a year or so ago, all shirtless in swim trunks sitting on alog in front of a lake. They look sunkissed, soaked and happy, like they are having the time of theirlives. I wonder if this was their first summer away. The rest are other pictures of him and the guys,but as I turn to walk towards the door to see where everyone else is at, I notice a picture on thebedside table and my heart rate sped up. It was like my body had a mind of its own and moved metowards the photo. I picked it up and just stared. I don't remember anyone taking pictures the nightof my party, but it is one of all five boys, Sierra and I laughing at the table by the pool. We all hadcake so it was after my embarrassing crying episode, but you wouldn't be able to tell I had cried at

all from this photo. There is a light in my eyes and I truly look relaxed with them, like sitting thereand having fun was something we do all the time.

I set the photo down before I could dwell on why this one was by his bed and how fast that wasprinted and framed and headed toward the door. I stepped out into the hallway, I have no idea whattime it is. With all the minimal stuff in Kota's room there was no clock either. I'm sure he just uses hisphone. The doors to Cam's room and the office are closed. So I head to the media room to replaceMateo and Oliver sprawled on the couch. Sam and Sierra must be on the guest bed, but where didKota sleep?

I walked over to the ottoman where my phone is laying and saw that it's just after 4am. My body isjust hardwired for this time of the morning. I am actually a little sore from the very long training fromyesterday, but I can't skip today, nor can I skip school. I'm sure my dad was pissed about yesterday,which is why he said nothing to me last night and I have a suspicion that's why I am here at thepackhouse rather than at home, but that won't fly today. At least Luna Ava gave me leggings and asports bra. I can get my morning training in without going home, then I can go home to change withMateo. Being with him may lessen the fallout of missing school and not going home at all last night.
