First sight
Lily's pov
Sometimes in life all you need is someone to save you...
I grew up in a small town,a small house
This is were I was damaged
My family was dysfunctional to say the least...
My parents drank they're lives away thinking about 2 things,1 alcohol and 2 when their going to get more alcohol
I wasn't into alcohol,i was just their daughter,which meant I had to fend for myself
My own mother would say the cruelest things to me
"You ungrateful,ugly cow."she said putting her hands on her hips "you will never amount to anything."
So supportive right,best mother in the world (note the sarcasm)
Dad never even spoke to me unless he was insulting me
One day I decides that enough is enough,so I ran away while it was raining,crying my heart out
I ran and ran away-
Not sure where to go
It was on that fateful night that my life changed
I was so deeply lost and distraught,i wasn't thinking
The car didn't see me and I didn't see it before it was too late,a all I saw were the headlights and life flashed before my eyes
But someone steeped out in front of it and stopped it
Who is this guardian angel that saved me....
I didn't even get a good look of his face,i jus remember that he was genuine and kind
I was so embarrassed I ran off
He tried calling out to me but by the time I was gone
I spent the rest of my night a a bus station trying to collect myself
"Hey don't I know you."a voice said snapping me out of my thoughts,i caught a glimpse of a beautiful blond girl,she had baby blue eyes,a diamond shaped jawline,and a straight pointed nose
"I think I've seen you around campus."she said
"Oh you go to UJ university."I said
"Yup so what are you doing up here so late."she said
Shit what do I do
"I ran away from home and I c-cant go back "I said through sobs
"Omg I can't believe,what you've been through."she said looking at me with a concerned expression
"Do you need a place to stay?"she asked giving me a warm smile
She must've seen the Desperation in my eyes
"Oh no it's fine-."I said but she cut me off saying
"I live alone and the house is so big,t hat it makes me feel even lonelier,i'd actually enjoy your company
"Are you sure,maybe just until I figure something out."I said
"Oh cause you can stay as long as you need."she reassured me
This was where I lived now it was big mansion
Little did I know that the blonde bombshell was poppy banks,sterling banks step-daughter
Sterling is one of the richest man in the country,some real estate tycoon
Poppy can be quite a handful
So her mother and father let her live here as long as she doesn't get into trouble and keeps up with her classes
To bad she could hold up her end of the bargain...
Last week poppy got a DUI
We went to a party and a begged and begged her not to drive but poppy can be...insistent
We hit a tree,luckily no one was hurt,but she got arrested
Mr banks was furious,but is making he's son look after us for awhile
This should be interesting...
Hi I'm lily James,not actress lily James,i m a 5'5 i have long wavy chesnut blowout hair,a flared nose,a diamond shaped jawline,with high cheekbones,and aquatic blue eyes,with a small heart shaped mouth
"So Bentley should be here soon."poppy said
Bentley banks is 28 and the son of Sterling banks also the face of bank properties
I've never met him beofre,but they talk about him like his some type of God
Everytime we go party,all the girls swoon over him,and ask poppy where he is
"How are you going to deal with having someone to answer to now."I said
"Oh please Bentley is a workaholic jus like Sterling."she chuckled "he probably won't even have time for us."
"Plus he used to be the it guy around here,im sure he can get us into all the cooler parties."
"I thought the point of him being here was to keep you fron partying."I remaked
"Nothing will keep me from partying."she said making me roll my eyes ,doesn't this girl ever get tired
"He just texted me his on his way,maybe he can take us around town."she said looking at her phone
"I don't think I've seen him before do you have his photo?"I asked
"Yeah sure."she said showing me a pic"this one is really cute it was when he was worked a charity bouquet
As she showed the the picture I gasped he was hubba hubba,he had light brown hair,grey eyes,a sharp jawline,and he looked ripped through that grey shirt
That's her stepbrother!
"Wow he's hot AF!"
"That what they all say."she giggled
"Listen I know you didn't have much when you moved here."she said making me sigh heavily
"So I brought you a gift,i ts a really cute dress that I think you'll slay in."
I think it will make a really good first impression on Bentley."
"That's super sweet of you poppy."I said scratching the back of my head nervously
I went to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water because I felt lightheaded
"Wow poppy you look different."a voice said
"Holy sh-you scared me."I shrieked
Even though I knew he was cute I wasn't prepared,a and wow the most gorgeous man,i have ever seen in my life stands before me,a and I almost fainted before him
He was wearing a black T-shirts and black jeans,and some black snake boots that i would totally be against but damn he pulled them off
And you could tell by he's build that he spends alot of time in the gym
He is so tall I could climb him like a mountain
He's eyes glow like stars in the night ,I could stare at them forever
I was taken aback by how beautiful he was
How was I supposed to live with him?
"I'm Bentley and you are?"he said huskily snapping me out of my thoughts
"Im-."I said but someone beat me to it
"Benny my big bro."poppy said
"You know I hate that name."he said putting he's hand on his head sighing heavily he look annoyed
"Aw and you know I don't care."poppy retorted
"I see you've met lily."she said gesturing to me
"She's been living here for a few weeks now."she said
"She's living here?rent free?"he snapped
"Duh didn't Sterling tell you."
"No he didnt,i thought I was gonna have my hands full with you,but there a free loader too."he said making me look at the ground embarrassed
"Lily has been a dutiful friend,even dad likes her."she said sounding a bit agitated or maybe it was the angry look she gave him
"So I'm stuck babysitting to troublemakers."he said
"Hey were not a couple of teenagers I'm actually here to learn."I said
"He probably doesn't realise because he hasn't seen me since my 16 birthday."she sighed
"That was 6 years ago Benny."she said
"Right.."he said nervously scratching the back of his head
"I should go get settled then."he said striding out of the kitchen
"Why didn't you tell me?"I whisper yelled at poppy
she quirked a brow giving me a confused look "tell you what?"
"That he looks like....like that."
"Looks like what."Bentley came up from behind me making me gasp in surprise
"Sorry I just forgot one of my bags..."he said leaving
"Omg."I said
*********
I want pizza so bad
I've been searching for food and I feel a pair of silent eyes on me
Bentley's pov
God she is gorgeous,i know I shouldn't be here,but I'll only take a sec to stare
"Are you done."her angelic voice said spanning Mr out of my thoughts
"Uh what."I said nervously,im never nervously around girls
She came close to me making me inhale her sweet scent she smelled like fresh jasmine,delicate apple blossoms and luminous rose
"No I wasnt....I uh."I said failing to find words
She giggling"uh I'm craving some comfortable food."she mumbled
"How about pizza."I suggested
"Pizza yeah please."she jumped up and down like a 5 year old a cute 5 year old,her smile warmed my heart and made me relax
"We well order."he said "poppy get down here I need to tell you both something."h mesaid making me quirk a brow
*****
"Since your both here,this would be s great time to go over the rules."he said
"Rules are you kidding me?"poppy said in Disbelief
"It's not a DUI is not a big joke poppy."he snapped at her making me flinch
"My father is pissed so he left me incharge,and I have to keep you out of trouble,since you lost your licence I'll be taking you were even you need to go."he said
"No parties on school nights."he said narrowing his eyes at poppy "and your curfew is 10pm."
"A curfew?"she asked
"Are you trying to kill me ."poppy said "I have a reputation to maintain this can't be happening."
All a while lily was quiet
"I'm not here to protect you reputation poppy."I said
*********
Lily's pov
That curfew is way to early but isn't bad
"10pm isn't that bad...I guess."I said
"This sucks."poppy screamed at the top of her lungs stomping right out
"Jesus what is wrong with her."he said
"Sure she'll come about she's just not used to rules."I tried reassuring him
"Well you don't seem to have a problem with that."he said smirking
He's right the rules didn't bother me,anything was better than my life before
"Why are you friends with her?"he suddenly asked
"What?"I managed to squeak out
"Come on you know what I mean we all know how poppy is."he said
"Poppy has been a great friend and I owe her alot."I said"I should go check on her."I said striding out of the kitchen
*******
Sunday afternoon
"Come on poppy I called shower first."I yawned tiredly
"Omg guess what?"poppy said excitedly
"What?"I said
"Marissa just texted me their having a bonfire tonight."she said
"Oh how fun."I said sarcastically
I hate these stupid parties,their just filler with rich snobs trying to have s*x with eachother
"Is that sarcasm I'm hearing."poppy said crossing her arm over her chest
"You know I don't really fit in with your friends."I said shrugging
"Ughh they totally love you."she said"plus Preston will be there."
Uh Preston totally hot but totally douchey
"So hurry up,you can use Bentley's shower."she said
"Fine."I sighed in defeated walking our to Bentleys room
"Bentley?"I called out "I need to use your shower."
No response
"Hello."
No response
"Hi,i guess he's not around,i said taking off the towel,leaving only my bra and panties on me
"Holy s**t what are you doing here."Bentley said making me gasp
I was naked in front of him
Dun Dun Dunnnnnn!
