Yes you do!

At first you thinks Jamal made a mistake, because as the trees open up, a house comes into view.

Sarah’s house is massive, the place rises like something from a glossy celebrity-home magazine: pale stone walls, huge arched windows, balconies with black railings, ivy climbing almost artfully, like someone installed it rather than planted it. The roof is slate and the driveway a curve of perfect cobblestone

Your mouth falls open and Jamal whistles.

“Damn. Haven’t been here in a while. Forgot how crazy this place is.”

You stare.

“Jamal… this is not a house. This is... I don’t even know what this is.”

He laughs and slings an arm over your shoulders after the two of you got out of the car, pulling you against his warm side as you walk toward it.

“Welcome to rich-girl territory.”

Your face burns at how close he is, but you don’t pull away.

Calling it a house feels wrong.

Calling it a mansion feels too small.

“Sarah’s parents don’t play around,” Jamal says, hand squeezing your shoulder and then letting go. His head tilted up, as he takes it in with you. “First time seeing it hits everyone like this.”

The two of you walk forward and Jamal nudges your lower back, guiding you, his hand lingering a second longer than necessary. Not inappropriate, but definitely intentional.

You see other cars already lineing the circular front, a matte-gray one,something vintage that looks expensive just by existing and a few others and a few more.

Jamal gestures to one of them and tells you that it was Trent’s car. He pointed at a dark blue Jeep, that was parked confidently near the front. “Justin bought him that a few months ago.” Jamal says and laughed at the sound you made when you heard that info. “Wait what?” you finally stammer out “That thing must have cost at least over 30k or so. Why did he do that?”

He looks at you amused and just sayd “Let's just say, that white boy knows his place and that he does everything to please Sarah” that answer left you more confused then before “That answer did not help at all” you say and look at Jamal, who just chuckles “Don't worry, you will understand soon enough.”

But before you can continue that conversation, you get distracted by the faint music, that was audible from somewhere inside, just quiet enough that it feels like the house breathes it.

“Wait till you see the backyard,” Jamal distracts you with a grin. “That’s the real show.”

You exhale slowly, overwhelmed but trying not to look overwhelmed.

As you reach the Entrance to the building, the door swings open before you could even knock.

Sarah stood in the doorway wearing a robe over her swimsuit because she’s probably been running around setting up stuff the whole morning. She looks excited, a little chaotic, and perfectly at home in this palace.

She comes bouncing toward you smiling, her scantily clothed brests jumping with every step.

“Oh my god, you made it!” she says, rushing forward and hugging Jamal first. He hugs her back like they’ve known each other for years, it wasn't that long, but at least longer then the 3 or so days you got to know any of them, then she turns to you and gives you a shorter, lighter hug, but it was still warm and friendly.

The robe she is wearing is not tied together, so you get a good view of the look she's wearing today.

Her bikini is bright red, stylish, and definitely chosen with confidence. The top fits her perfectly, supporting and framing her chest and curves while leaving just enough of her light skin to make her look both pretty and effortlessly sexy. The bottoms tie at the sides, small bows resting on her hips. It looks like she belongs at a beach photoshoot.

Her hair is pinned up loosely, strands falling in soft curls that brush her collarbone.

“You okay? First-time mansion shock?” she teases you.

“Is it that obvious?” you ask rubbing your neck in embarrassment.

Jamal answers for you with a soft laugh. “He almost dropped to his knees when he saw it.”

You shoot him a dirty look, but he just smirks like he wanted that reaction from you.

“Im sure that he will do that later anyways.” Sarah giggles and Jamal laughs with her.

You are taken aback by that comment, it is such a strange thing to say.

You have to say something about that... right?
