When I walk out of my bedroom the next morning Janeen comes over to me with a glass of orange juice – what I always started my day with as a kid – but I barely notice as she places it in my hand because I am too busy gawking at the incredible view from the second-story living room of my house.
My house.
“Oh my god,” I murmur, walking over to sliding open the glass door that leads to an expansive back deck. Janeen comes with me, smirking a little, as we both look over the silent ocean that seems to stretch for miles in front of us. “Is this…is this a private beach?” I breathe.
“It’s supposed to be,” Janeen says with a little sigh. “But you can’t really stop people from walking up and down it. Nor would I want to – the beach belongs to everyone, not just Mr. Lippert.”
I give Janeen a little glare before I continue to turn and stare around the gigantic, far too beautiful house with its incredibly high ceilings and walls covered in windows…
“This place,” I murmur, shaking my head and taking a sip of my orange juice. “It’s…unbelievable…”
“I know, right?” Janeen says, grinning at me a little wickedly. “What did you do to Mr. Lippert that made him this happy –“
“Ew, Janeen,” I say, glaring at her again before walking over to the empty kitchen. We’re both up before dad and Daniel, which I guess is good – because I know Janeen and I have some stuff to talk about that I’d prefer dad not year. Not yet.
“What!?” she says, chasing after me and laughing a little as I move to the coffee machine and pour myself a cup of the pot Janeen already made. “Seriously, Fay, I’m impressed with your work. Mr. Lippert must be-“
“Stop calling him that,” I mutter, starting to get mad. I know my sister is teasing me, and that I’ve got a lot to answer for, but honestly.
“Fine,” she says, leaning against the counter with a smirk, “Mr. Baby Daddy.”
“Janeen!” I gasp, swatting at her with my free hand, which she easily evades, laughing at me.
“What, that’s also no good?”
