"Stephen!" Michael exclaims, "look who is here."
There you go. I feel a little shy when Michael introduces me to his son, I somehow manage to smile at him.

"Hello." That's all he say. Without saying a single word to me or his dad, he just begins to go upstairs when Michael stops him.

"Stephen, show them their rooms. They had a long journey, they must be tired." He tells Stephen and then looks at me, " Alice, you should get some rest dear. I'll see you at lunch." I can tell he's disappointed by his son's behavior towards me.

"Sure." I smile and stand up.

Me and Jonah go upstairs, following Stephen and walk on the left, then stop in front of a brown door.
"That's your room Jonah." He tells Jonah and smiles at him.

God! He can smile!

Without saying a word, Jonah walks inside. "Your things are already there." Stephen informs him.

We take a few more steps and stop in front of another brown door.
"This is yours." As simple as he could possibly make it. "If you need something, you can call our housekeeping Nancy." He continues.

"Thanks__" I begin to say but he has already turned his back on me and now he's probably eight feet away from me, crossing the study room, he enters in another room. Maybe that's his room. I think.

Such a weirdo.

I shake my head and walk inside. The room is big. The first word that comes out of my mouth after I enter into this room is "WOW". The bed is big and is placed in the centre of the wooden wall, a flat TV screen right in front of it. The windows are wide and from the glass, I can easily see the crowded beach, the sunset and the people. A perfect view, I thought to myself.
Theres a knock on the door and Nancy appears
"Your things, ma'am." She keep my bags on the table.

"Oh, thank you." I say

"You want me to keep them for you? " she asks with a smile.

"No, thanks Nancy. I'll do it myself." I smile back.

"Okay. You can simply call me if you need something." She tells me.

"Sure, I will."

She smiles and walk outside. I take out my cell from the bag and text my mom.

"Mom, we're here. We are safe. Michael is really very welcoming. We miss you. Take care."
I press the send button and keep my phone aside. I take out my black lining shirt and dark blue pants and go in a bathroom to change. I wash my face and comb my hair, then turning them into a pony tail and step outside the bathroom.
One by one I keep my clothes in the closet. I place jewelry and makeup stuff on the dressing table and keep my books on the shelf that is fixed right next to the TV screen. I take out our family picture frame and keep it on the side table.

I lay down on the bed and stare at the ceiling. I'm probably going to sleep if no one disturbs me for another 5 minutes. But to my surprise, there's a knock on the door.

"Lunch is ready ma'am." That's Nancy's voice coming from outside.
I shut my eyes and blink twice or maybe thrice.

"Coming." I say and get up from the comforting bed which is covered with silk sheets. I silently go downstairs.
