Chapter 13 - Chapter 12: Inside the Vanderbilt Mansion

(Ravine POV)

After dismissal, I was about to go home when J.J. walked up to me.

"Hey Ravine!" He greeted.

"Hi J.J. What's up?" I asked.

"Do you want to hang out in my house?" He asked.

"Right now?"

"Yeah, right now, I can just drive you home afterwards." He offered.

"I guess." I said.

"Alright."

We exited the school premises and as soon as we arrived at the parking lot, I got totally flabbergasted. You know why? Because J.J. has a Tesla. He's driving a Tesla, I mean how rich can he be? If he has a Tesla, God knows how luxurious his life must be so I got pretty excited as soon as we got in the car and he began driving all the way to his house.

After a couple of minutes, we finally arrived to a gorgeous looking mansion. This must be ancestral.

"We're here."

I got out of the car and for some reason, I started getting nervous. Will his parents like me? I went to J.J.'s side and grabbed his arm.

"Are your parents home?" I asked

"They are. Don't worry, they don't bite." He giggled.

As soon as we went inside the mansion, I got even more flabbergasted. It says Renaissance all over. Due to its grandeur and luxuriousness, it can almost resemble a vintage hotel lobby, something I see all the time in magazines only.

I am so afraid to touch anything because everything looks delicately placed. There are portrait paintings of so many people and they look like they came from the olden days. This must be J.J.'s ancestors.

He also has a grand staircase and a huge ass chandelier, can you believe it?

"J.J.!" A petite lady approached us.

"Hi Rosa! This is Ravine, my new friend."

"Hello sweetheart, oh my, you look so adorable." She complemented making me blush.

"Is mom and dad upstairs?" J.J. asked.

"They just have some things they have to attend to. They'll be back." Rosa said.

"Alright, we're going upstairs in my room for a while." J.J. said.

We both made our way to his room and once we arrived inside, I couldn't help but gasp because his room is literally every person's dream room. He has a balcony, overlooking the scenic view of the forest. He has a flat screen television, a king sized bed, a huge study desk and even a piano.

He has a collection of trophies and medals, probably from his basketball competitions. He has a collection of horror movie DVD's. He also has a collection of so many books including Harry Potter, Stephen King and so much more. That's funny. I didn't really visualize J.J. to be the bookworm type of guy.

"You're a bookworm?" I asked.

"Yup. It doesn't look like it but I really love reading for leisure." He said.

"What's your favorite book of all time?"

"Ah, that's a hard question! Where do I even begin? There's so many." He said.

"Never mind."

"You can sit on the bed if you like." He said and I did. It was so soft and comfy. I feel like I can sleep within a few seconds once I have lied down.

"Do you want to hear me play the piano?"

"Sure!"

J.J. sat down in front of his piano, stretched his arms and began playing Fur Elise. His hands played the keyboard gracefully with a little bit of speed which made it even more impressive.

I sat beside him to observe him closely. I looked at his handsome and focused face before paying attention to his dexterous hands.

So attractive!

I stood up and did a little dance along with his music. J.J. seemed to notice it because he was snickering.

Afterwards, he just continued playing one song after another. He's so talented.

I continued my little dance before sitting down on his bed. The songs he is playing right now are very lullaby like so it's making me doze off a little bit. I didn't even realize that I was already lying down and before I knew it, I was already asleep.

(J.J POV)

Ravine fell asleep. He's the most precious thing in the world. When he did a cute dance while I was playing, my wolf and I are giggling.

His quirkiness and innocence is so special.

I was watching him sleep and I swiped his hair to the side so I can get a better look at his perfect face. He's perfection incarnate. His freckles, his pale skin, his pinkish lips, everything about Ravine is just fascinating.

I can't help myself anymore. I was planning to kiss him in his sleep and as I was about to attach my lips to his, his phone…his stupid phone went off.

Fuck you, phone.

Ravine woke up and rubbed his eyes before answering his phone.

"Hello?"

"Ravine, where the hell are you?" It must be Frida. I can hear her loud voice.

"I'm here at J.J.'s!"

"Do you know what time it is already?"

"Fine, I'm going now!" He said before hanging up.

"I'll drive you there, Ravine." I insisted.

"Thanks. If you don't mind me asking, how long was I asleep?"

"Probably one and half hour."

"Oh."

Damn it! I was this close to kissing him. Damn you, Frida!
