Enzo shut the door behind us as we entered his small house just outside the student campus. The faculty lived in a separate neighborhood where all the houses basically touched one another. Enzo got the house in the farthest corner, closer to the forest, so he was more hidden.

I had snuck here a couple of times last year, but I never went inside his house. I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but I didn't think it would look so modern. Stepping into the house, I was immediately inside his living room, which consisted of a long couch where the ends reclined, and they had nice decorative pillows. In front of the couch was a glass coffee table with a couple of books lying on top. There was a flatscreen TV hanging on the wall with a couple of pictures of what looked like the goddess.

I've come to know from being at this school that there will be pictures of the goddess in random places. Nobody really knows for sure what she looks like, so most of these pictures are what people think she would look like.

Attached to the living room was a small kitchen with updated appliances and a small table in the corner, big enough to only fit two.

There was a door on the far side of the living room that assumed was either a bathroom or a closet.

Without saying anything, Enzo took my hand and led me down a narrow hallway where noticed even more doors. There were about 3 other doors, one of which was opened a crack and I saw the large wooden desk with a desktop computer and a laptop sitting beside it. There were rows of bookshelves occupying the walls and behind the desk I noticed a large window overlooking the beautiful forest.

I'm assuming the other closed door beside his obvious at home office was the guest bedroom.

We finally reached the end of the hall where he pulled open his bedroom door and I stepped inside the warm and inviting space. He had a fireplace on the far side of the house with a pile of wood right beside it. There was a large king-sized bed that was already made with silk bedding with a mixture of reds and gold to match the curtain drapes on the window and a large wool rug that sat on the dark wood flooring.

He had wooden dressers and a large wooden wardrobe.

It reminded me of a room I'd find in a log cabin.

"I like the fireplace," I said, standing at the doorway and tugging at my fingers nervously.

I wasn't sure why I was suddenly nervous, but I was having trouble finding the words to say. "The room doesn't get a lot of heat," he explained.

He turned to face me, a small frown on his face, but then the frown turned into a smile as realized crossed his beautifully dark eyes.

"I forget that you've never actually been in here before," he said, stepping closer to me. "

I swung by here after my meeting with Headmaster Prescott so I could make sure everything was clean and make the bed. Ethan will be swinging by tomorrow to bring me the rest of my stuff."

I smiled at him.

"It's beautiful in here," I said, stepping even closer to him, closing the small gap that sat between us.

He gave me a lopsided grin as he ran his fingers down the side of my face, brushing the strand of hair that fell over my eyes and tucking it behind my ear.

"You're beautiful in here," he said in retum, his voice dropping to a low whisper.

I couldn't help but laugh at his corny line which made his cheeks grow a strange shade of pink, which only made me laugh even more. He was cute when he was embarrassed.
