Welcome to Bayville, your final destination

Chapter Two

Last night I had an awkward dinner, Riley choose to actually eat with me, it was silent and uncomfortable to say the least. I woke up to my mother calling me. "Hello honey, can we have brunch this evening at your place, we have matters we would like to discuss with you. This place is... unique compared to our current living situation" Jesus Christ what have I gotten myself into, "alright mom, come by at eleven twenty five I'll send lex the coordinates." I hang up the phone and looked at my clock, two hours to go. I get up grab my robe along with some clothes, wouldn't want to bump into Riley naked, that reminds me, I need to talk to... I was brought out my thought when I collided into a wall. " we have somewhere to be, you have thirty minute to be down stairs or I'm coming up to get you" I didn't say anything, I didn't know what to say... His words made my heart race, some part of me wanted to say or what but would I like the answer? There was a strong aura coming from him, one that made me want to hide under the bed. The bad boy radiants off him easily, those type of people I would like to avoid... At all cost. "Yes Riley" my voice was barely a whisper but I'm sure he heard me. I mean I was basically in his chest.

I took a quick shower and decided to go out wearing a lettuce trim trumpet sleeve ribbed knit tee that hugged my assets a little two snuggly but I was rushing and grabbed the first things I saw, along with high waisted bell bottoms ripped jeans, to top off the look with faux suede lace up front classic boots; which adds four inches to my height. I grab my purse and walk down stairs with a minute to spare. "Cutting it close aren't we?" I rolled my eyes and walked towards what I assume is his car, 2024 Rolls Royce phantom. "Let me drive" I couldn't control myself, in order to have one of these you have to have money falling out of every aspect of you body, "over my dead body, hop in your making me late.... I'm never late." One day.... One day.

The drive was silent, I stare out the Window taking in the view. Something about this place. I feel in my bones that it's different. People here are more together, helping, nurturing. As if as everyone are family and everyone are equal to each other. The place of fairness. "What's on you mind" I jump a bit not expecting him to talk to me. "Home... I guess you could say... On my sixteenth birthday I began to feel... out of place, like I don't belong here, the ones around me were just people who didn't even know the real me... I didn't know it at the time, I thought I was just getting tired of the showbiz, that feeling never really went away, as I got older the feeling became heavier every day, dramatically when both my bother and father passed... That was until now... Now I know that I just began to feel homesick..." I don't know why I told him that. I guess because he asked, it's not like me to talk to others about my thoughts, not the deep ones anyways. It felt nice to say it out loud but I have to remember... he's a stranger, trust can't be given it must be earned. "We're here follow me and talk to no one, your mother will be meeting us at eleven so we're going to my office to do paperwork. In order to live here you will have to have a... party to welcome you, this small town doesn't like trespassers so they would like to get to know you, in hopes that you aren't some kid that's going to cause trouble" he opened the door for me. Immediately I noticed how many people are here, there are garden workers, kids, parents, statues, parks, a hospital to the left, buildings on the right, I look forward to see an ginormous building, walking in looked as though I was walking into a five star hotel. No one wore uniforms but to tell the workers apart they all had a hat that says moonshine corp.

We take the elevator to the TOP FLOOR! The higher we go the nervous I got. Call me crazy but I'm terrified of elevators ever since I played in a scene that had one drop from two stories, the stage malfunctioned and actually dropped a floor underneath;the basement, great for the industry, that scene was horrific for me, I had panicked so bad that I somehow pushed myself into my subconscious, I was aware or everything and/ one around me, I was responding, finished my scene great, they all loved the idea of my mood changing eyes, though I do not no I was wearing them, my mother told me she swapped them from my original ones for the set. We got a big bonus for that original idea, I am pretty proud at her for her braveness. I subconsciously grabbed Riley's suit, I hadn't known for how long. I was just brought out of thought from the small pressure on my hip. He was softly holding me. Slowly as my scares feeling subside the feeling of his touch began to warm my body giving my stomach a flip or two.

We finally stopped and nudged me to go first, I gladly took it. I see why he wanted to take the elevator, the escalator was completely packed. I was still getting my bar-rings together when we walked up to his office, I didn't really know when we walked in. "Oh dear, you took the elevator haven't you?" My eyes shoot up at her "mother what are you doing here?" Seeing her made matters worse for me, 'she's keeping secrets' my thoughts become a whisper in my ear, about what I thought as I succumb to darkness. 'Me.....' my thoughts became a whisper once more.
