XXIX | FEELINGS

The sunlight hit my face and I groaned, opening my eyes a little, before closing them. I blinked a couple of times before my eyes finally adjusted to the sunlight in the bedroom.

I frowned as I sat up on the bed to discover the space next to me was completely empty. Where's Reece? I thought, as I looked around the room, but just like the bed it was empty as well.

My eyes wondered to the window near his bed and I looked at the beautiful landscape before me.

"Mornin'." I turned to see Reece stepping out of what I assumed was the bathroom, a towel was wrapped around his waist and his brown hair was damp.

Violetta don't look at his abs. Violetta no. Stop. Oh, fuck it, you're already looking at his abs.

Reece's eyes followed my eyes to see that I was looking at his eight pack.

He chuckled and went to his closet and removed a white shirt and grey sweatpants.

"I'll be right back," he said, entering back into the bathroom.

I breathed out a breathe I didn't even know I was holding in. I'm pretty sure I looked like crap compared to Reece right now. I stood up from his bed and stretched, I made sure I made his bed quickly first, before heading to the black large mirror in the corner of his bedroom.

"Fuck," I cringed at the site in front of me, my hair looked like a birds nest. My mascara was basically all over my eyelids and I already saw bags starting to form underneath my eyes. "Shit, shit, shit," I cursed as Reece came out from the bathroom, looking like a god.

Violetta, remember Brandon, you know, the guy you're almost going to start dating, does he ring a bell?

I ignored my thoughts and looked at Reece and cleared my throat, he was putting his nightwear in the dirty basket.

"Can I have some clothes and a towel, I want to take a shower please," I said, he looked at me and smiled.

"Erm, yeah, there's a set of towels in the bathroom and I'll go get you some clothin'," he replied.

I thanked him and went towards his bathroom. Jesus, it was like the same size of my room, possibly larger.

I once again looked at my reflection in the mirror, I tried to bring my hair down but it flew back up.

"What the actual fuck?" I mumbled, a knock came on the door.

I opened it and Reece stood there with clothes in his hands. "Ok, so you and my sister are the same size thankfully, so I got you some jeans and a sweatshirt," he said.

I smiled and thanked him as he gave them to me.

I closed the door and locked it before removing the nightwear and entered into the shower.

I didn't have a sponge and it would be weird if I used Reece's own, so I just used my hands and washed my hair. I got out and wrapped myself with a towel, grabbing some mouthwash and gargling it. I spat it out and rinsed my mouth with water.

I quickly put on the outfit Reece gave me and he was right, me and his sister are the same size. I can't wait to meet her though, I have a feeling we are going to be good friends.

I got out of the bathroom and put the towel and underwear into the dirty basket. I saw Reece on his bed texting away on his phone, he looked up and smiled at me.

"Hey," he greeted.

I smiled. "Hi."

He scratched the back of his neck. "So, um, if you're hungry there's breakfast downstairs...Do you want breakfast?" He asked and I nodded. God this is so awkward.

"Cool," he nodded and stood up, heading towards the door, I followed behind him as we stepped out of his room.

"Holy shit," I mumbled, the hallway was beautiful, the house was basically made out of glass so I could clearly see outside, I saw other mansions lined up beautifully next to each other but I had a feeling Reece's house was the biggest one here.

He looked back at me and smirked, he softly grabbed my hand and led me downstairs. I saw about six living rooms so far and dining rooms, my legs were slightly tired from walking, his house as it was just too damn big.

He led me to the kitchen and my jaw almost hit the ground. It was basically the same size as my house downstairs. I saw, I assume servants working in the kitchen.

"Damn, Reece, I knew you were rich, but this is like insane," I laughed.

He chuckled and led me to the center island which had stools around it. I sat down next to him.

A maid came and placed plates and cutleries in front of us.

"Mornin' Piper," Reece said, she smiled at him.

"Morning Reece, who is your friend?" She greeted.

"Hi, I'm Violetta," I said as we shook hands.

"I like her already, she's way better than your girlfriend, Bianca, she's so spoiled and uptight," Piper groaned and I covered my mouth to prevent myself from laughing.

Reece slightly frowned but there was still a small smile on his face. "It's Brooke, Piper," he said.

She rolled her eyes and joined the other servants in preparing breakfast.

"Sorry about her, she's our nanny," he chuckled.

"You and your sister have a nanny?" I asked.

He chuckled, "well, not precisely me, she's my younger siblin's nanny," he informed and I raised an eyebrow.

"So you have more than one sibling?" I questioned and he nodded.

"Yeah, all my siblin's are out with my parents, I was suppose to go with, but I stayed because of you," he told me and I felt extremely guilty now.

"I'm sorry if I caused any trouble," I said and he chuckled

"Don't worry, it's nothin' to worry about," he said. I nodded and gave him a small smile as a maid placed pancakes, bacon, and apple juice in front of us. Finally, I could have a cooked meal, I've been eating my Mom's terrible breakfasts for a whole week now, since Dad didn't feel like cooking.

I took a small bite of the pancake before speaking "So, how are you and Brooke?" I asked, taking a bite of my pancake. I was so nervous about his answer, I still had tiny feeling left for Reece, but like really - super tiny feelings...

"To be honest, I don't know," he answered, sipping his apple juice. My heart rate slightly reduced and I nodded in understanding.

"So, how about you and Brandon?" he questioned, taking a small bite of his pancake.

"We're good," I said.

"Oh," was all he said.

The atmosphere became awkward just like that. I began to shift my bacon awkwardly around my plate.

"I'm goin' to go drop Violetta at home," Reece announced, taking some bacon and putting in into his mouth. He ushered me to follow him and I did.

We went outside and the outside was just as beautiful with a big water fountain and some trees and flowers.

We entered his Ferrari and I laughed, he looked at me as we entered the car.

"What?" he asked and I smirked.

"I noticed you finally fixed your car," I said, putting my seatbelt on.

"Oh, you mean the car you damaged, yes I did," he said with a smirk as he backed out of the driveway.

I playfully rolled my eyes. I stared in awe as he drove down the passage that consisted of beautiful trees until we got to the front gate.  He waved goodbye to a guard on duty and drove down the road. "So, um do you want to talk about yesterday?" Reece asked, keeping his eyes on the road. I sighed and rested my head on the window.

"Nah. I'm just happy you came before he went any further, by the way why did you come?" I asked.

He quickly glanced at me before speaking. "I know Toby's a dick, and I know he would try to hurt you, I can't let him hurt what's mine," he said. My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Reece realized what he said and cleared his throat, his face became pink with embarrassment. "I mean, what's Brandon's...you know what fuck this," he said parking on the curb. I looked at him with confusion.

"What are you doing?" I asked, he looked me right in the eye and nervously combed his hair with his hand.

"I thought I could stand by and acknowledge you with Brandon, but... fuck, I can't okay, ever since we began fake datin' I told myself it's for Brooke, that this is all to get Brooke back, but I fell for you along the way," he admitted looking at me, I was about to speak but he cut me off. "Violetta, I like you a lot and I should have never gotten back with Brooke when I knew about my feelin's for you, I just., ugh, I was about to talk to you at the game but then then I saw you and Xavier kiss and I knew you liked him alot--"

"Yes, Xavier kissed me but I didn't kiss back okay, I assumed you left before I pushed him away and slapped him," I said and he growled in anger as he held his palms tightly on the steering wheel. I sighed and rested my head on the seat. "I was going to tell you how I felt too...Reece, I like you a lot but you're with Br--" Reece grabbed my chin and softly pressed his lips on mine.

I was shocked at first but closed my eyes as our lips moved in sync, it was slow at first, but then it got heated. I removed my seatbelt and Reece took me on his lap, he made sure to move the seat back to give me more room on his lap.

His hands were gently on my waist and mine in his hair. He licked my bottom lip and I gave him access into my mouth, out tongues battling for dominance.

We quickly broke away from the kiss to gasp for air, both panting hard. He rested his hand on my cheek and used his thumb to caress it in circles.

"I'll break up with Brooke, she isn't the girl I want anymore, you are, I really like you Violet," he said breathlessly. I smiled when he called me by the nickname he used to call me.

I knew it wasn't fair to Brooke, but I couldn't help it, I wanted Reece to myself and I was selfish, I knew my feeling for him never went away and possibly never will. I like him, I really do. He pressed his lips against mine again, I smiled into the kiss and kissed him back.
