Chapter 13

Tom was waiting for him in the living room after getting the call from James. Other guys were playing games together upstairs. Hearing the doorbell, Tom opened the front door. His eyes widened as looked at the boy in front of him who looked very tired and his bruised face got even worse. " Do you wanna talk about what happened? " James lowered his head and shook saying no. " Ok fine. Anyway, this is more convenient for you. Follow me, " Tom took his suitcase. " It's heavy I will take it," James said trying to get back the luggage But Tony already started to walk with his luggage.

Upstairs in the hall, all the guys were having a chat. " I told you I gonna win. Now give me the money " Drew said laughing at them. Other guys just sighed and they all hesitatingly took the money out. " Here ". Spark gave the money and was ready to leave for bed, as he stood he saw Tom carrying a suitcase and James following him. Spark's whole face glow disappeared, He nodded his head in acknowledgment and walked away. Tom looked at him displeased as Spark slammed the door and shut it hard. Everyone jumped back by the sound, then they noticed Johnny standing beside Tom. " Wow look who is here. Welcome new housemate," Drew said pulling James into a tight buddy hug. For mere seconds Johnny thought he couldn't breathe. " Stop. You are killing him," Tom said parting them. Drew showed a poker face towards Tom and huffed as he walked away. " So Where is he gonna stay? " Don asked eagerly. " Not in your room David. You are in my room. Follow me," Venice firmly said to James and walked casually towards his room ignoring Don's all grumpy face, he rolled his eyes at the walking figure. Johnny was amused by everyone's behavior, he felt they all were so cool. Even though some didn't seem to like him. " You can follow him, " Tom reassuringly said to Johnny who nodded his head and said. " Thank you ".

When he entered the room Venice was already putting up the bed. " I will help you," He said walking towards him and giving him a hand lifting the bed. Venice let him help. " So am I bothering you by staying here? " James asked concerned. Venice shaked his head and said. " I am the one who chose you to stay in my room. So it's fine " Venice answered genuinely.

James smiled feeling relieved knowing his side. He felt guilty thinking he was intruding on his private life.

Looking at Venice he realized, he never observed this person's face at close, now he looked at him and felt he was handsome and charming. Venice is the same height as him but he has more muscles. " You take that bed, " Venice pointed his finger at the bed near the door. The room is spacious enough for two people comfortable living. James slummed on the bed, he felt so tired. Suddenly something hits on his face. He winced in pain. " Apply that on your face. It's swelling more, "

James stared at a small ailment that he threw. It seemed to be small but he almost opened his mouth seeing its price, very expensive.

He applied it on the face cautiously. " There is some limit you should never cross. You look a little bit like my younger brother that's why I warning you ". Venice informed.

" What is it? " James asked.

Venice sat on his bed and said. " Don is a red flag he will try to flirt with you in the future and keep him at a distance. next, Tom is not single his boyfriend is Spark so in the future try to maintain a little distance from Tom his wife already seems to hate you for getting closer to him " Venice seriously stated.

" Oh? " James never thought that Tom and Spark were a couple.

" Wake up early every day. I will call you. Last but not the list Don't Anger Alexander he is such a maniac ". After hearing everything James plopped on the bed and let out a growl. " What was that sound? " Venice asked Snickering at the fun sound he made. " I just thinking " He answered shortly.

The next morning James sat tiredly on the bed he still felt sleepy but didn't feel any pain in his face or body All thanks to Venice's ailment he thought. Seeing Venice in workout clothes he asked. " 3.00 am is too early. Why should I wake up this early? my time is 5. oo clock "

" You are part of the knights and you are living here so you must wake to exercise with us that what Alexander said, " Thinking about the morning incident and how hard he got slapped for being late. He hurriedly changed his clothes and followed Venice.

At the JIM everybody already started the excise. James gulped seeing Drew and Tom Wrestling with each other. He chose the treadmill and started walking ignoring the hard routine of others. Suddenly he stumbled on. He saw it was switched off by someone, and looked up to see Alexander standing there with a blank face. " You come with me," He said firmly walking towards the storage room.
