LIV'S POV

I groaned as i walked up the steps of the Grant family house, more like mansion with Teddy. He had talked me into spending the summer at his family's ranch after our first year of law school.

"Come on Libby" i looked up at Teddy's nickname for me. He was one of my best friends, people often mistook us for a couple but we just never saw each other that way. He was the closest thing other than Quinn and Huck that i had to family.

"Teddy, what if they hate me?!" I shifted as he carried up my luggage up the steps.

"They won't i already warned my parents"

"Don't you have siblings that come home for the holiday's?!"

"Fitz is going into his last year of law school. He's 5 years older and Kate is our age at Yale"

I bit my lip, Teddy always talked about his twin sister Katherine which everyone called Kate but he hardly spoke about his older brother. Apparently he was focused on school and less on partying. We sounded the same except Teddy usually started talking me into parties more and more.

He opened the door as we walked into the large foyer, marble floors lined the floors and on the right was a formal living room and the left was a bathroom along with the laundry room and another room was an office. I watched as we passed the wooden staircase and went up to the formal dining room and into the kitchen which was state of the art, it could hold 50 people. I grew up with nothing compared to Teddy and stood in awe as he pulled open the back door revealing a large piece of land. There was a gated pool and a pool house along with a path down to the stables and a fence around the stables.

I followed him as we approached the patio deck and saw three people chatting away.

"Teddy!" A woman shrieked standing quickly. She had long brown thick curls and the deepest blue- grey eyes. She was my height which was about 5'4 and stood beside a tall man who had bright blue eyes and a side smile.

"Hey mom!" Teddy smiled hugging his mother and her then shook his fathers hand.

"You must be Olivia, Teddy has told us so much about you!" The woman slammed me into a hug. I tensed quickly not used to people hugging me.

"Mom, why don't you introduce yourself first" Teddy laughed

"Oh, sorry. I'm Emily Grant" she smiled

"Nice to meet you, please call me Liv" i offered as i turned to Teddy's father

"Mr. Grant" i smiled

"Please call me Big Gerry darlin"

"Okay" i nodded "You have a wonderful home" i looked around until i saw a woman about our age approaching. She dusted off the knees of her pants and stood up. She was gorgeous, blonde hair and bright eyes just like Teddy.

I watched as she came up and hugged me

"You must be Liv!" She grinned. We had spoke a few times during her skype calls to Teddy so i wasn't worried about meeting her

"Hey Kate" i hugged her back

"Nice to finally meet you in person" she grinned

"Well, you must be tired. Katie why don't you show Liv to her room" Emily offered

"Sure!"

"Dinner's at 6!" Big Gerry called as Kate grabbed my hand and pulled me into the house.

"My parents like you" she stated as i followed her up the spiral staircase

"Is that rare?"

"Usually, but you aren't Teddy's bimbo girl you are his friend so that's another perk too" she laughed. Kate was just as blunt as her brother.

"My room and Teddy's room" she pointed to rooms along the way "guest bedroom, bathroom, Fitz's room and your room. You have your own bathroom so that's a plus" she smiled "my parents room is on the other side of the staircase, thank god"

"Thank god?" I asked as she opened my door.

"They still go at it" she cringed

"Woah" i whispered as i took in the light purple bedroom that was decorated with white furniture. The queen size bed was covered in a huge white duvet with at least ten pillows. There was a window seat that over looked the back yard of the house revealing the stables and mountains.

"What do your parents do again?"

Kate chuckled "My dad owns oil companies" that explained it.

"Moms a judge"

"Wow"

"Do you like it?" Teddy asked as he set my suitcases down on the bench at the end of the bed.

"It's amazing"

Kate flickered on the light to the bathroom revealing the large bath and glass shower along with the huge walk in closet.

"Let's take a picture!" Kate said opening her Instagram as she pulled Teddy and i by the window. I smiled in between the two Grants and watched them bicker over a filter until they agreed and captioned it.

I posted the same picture onto mine. I clicked on Kate's instagram, following her and looked at the caption.

'Welcome home Liv'

"I'm going to take a nap, call me if you need anything!" Teddy offered as Kate left behind him closing the door.

I stared at the view for what seemed like hours until i sat down on the bed quickly. I set an alarm for an hour so i could get so unpacking done before dinner and crashed as soon as my head hit the pillow.
