Chapter 14

Anika

My eyes were closed and I was listening to Foster talk. He was just talking about music, but it was kind of nice to listen to him, even if I wasn’t listening to the actual words. His voice was surprisingly nice; I hadn’t realized that before. It was smooth and warm like chocolate, and its deep tone was relaxing. When he wasn’t being a total weirdo, he was actually fun to be around. I’d almost fallen asleep during the ride because of how soothing his voice was.

The car stopped and I could feel Foster looking at me.

Instead of making him decide whether to touch me or not to see if I was awake, I lifted my head and looked around.

He smiled at me. “We’re here.”

I stared. This… was his house? The ‘house’ in front of me was roughly twice the size of mine, and I had a nice house. “How many siblings do you have that you need this many rooms?”

“Hm? Oh, I only have the one brother, but he’s twenty and living on his own now.”

“Right.” I stared at the house.

He smiled at me and got out of the car. Foster made his way to my side and opened the door for me, gesturing for me to step out. When I did, he smiled at me again then made a noise that sounded kind of nervous. “Ah… you aren’t… intimidated or anything, are you?” he asked slowly. “You look kind of overwhelmed. The house is just a show-off piece that my father wanted if that helps anything. I’m not materialistic.”

“What? No, I was just surprised, that’s all.”

He sighed and touched my waist lightly, nudging me toward the house. “Come on, I’ll show you around.”

“What do your parents do?” I blurted randomly. Immediately, I wanted to retract the question.

“My father’s a major stockholder in a technology business; he builds computers and phones and designs apps. My mother walked out a long time ago, probably five or six years ago.” Five or six? He would have been eleven or twelve when she’d left, then. “I do remember that she was a biologist, though.” Jeez, his entire family was full of geniuses. “Now my older brother works in security; he designs security systems and helps track down hackers. Personally, I’m not all that interested in electronics, though I do seem to have a knack for playing around on them, as I’ve discovered recently.”

The tone in his last sentence made me a little suspicious, but I didn’t ask anything else. That explained the class he had with Mitchell, then.

Foster opened the door and let us in. “My father’s out for the day.”

“Do you have maids or something? There’s no way you maintain all of this on your own.” Jesus. Why did I keep asking questions?

He laughed, not visibly offended by my question. “You have no idea how happy I am that you’re comfortable with this. No, I don’t have maids. And as for your comment earlier, we only have five bedrooms in the house.
