Rebecca's pov

     Day 7

     A small smile tugged at my lips as I looked back at my reflection on the body length mirror, my floral church gown made me look more confident, confident enough to go through with plan D.

It was a very bright Sunday, and I wasn't really ready to waste it off by staying at home, so... My plan was to get Emeliano to take me to church... Crazy right? I know...

   He'll never ever agree, that's why I'll have to approach him in a civilized manner... It worked the last time right? It should also work this time...

   After the sermon, I plan to convince him to maybe, go for a walk or something- that's when I'll start to bombard him with questions... People always tend to be calm after church service, maybe it could work on Emeliano...

I'm still not sure, but I'll try my best to make it work.

   But first of all, I have to feed and Gain enough strength to argue with that- that- pretty boy.

   Coming down the main staircase, my face lightened up at the sight Infront of me, the large sitting room had this calm temperature due to the very beautiful aquarium built to the ground... I knelt slowly, touching the cold solid glass that separated me from the ocean beneath... I could see the beautiful creatures, swimming and living their peaceful lives, I tapped on the glass, making some fishes swim to my direction... Chuckling, I did it again-

   "You seriously look like a fool, stop it."

I jumped upright at the sound of Emeliano's voice, my eyes travelling to a direction in the sitting room, and there he sat, like a god reading a business magazine, he wasn't even looking at me.

I frowned when I realized that he just called me a fool...

"Wow, thanks for the lovely compliment, I never thought you would grace my morning with your ever loving words... Words can't explain how happy I am to hear you say these words." Sarcasm dripped from my words.

"You're most welcome." He murmured, loud enough for me to hear.

  Keep it mature! Civilized! Don't mess this up.

I felt the soft vibration beneath my feet, watching the ocean disappear with the cool atmosphere.

Scratch that- I'll save the civilized plan for another time. Which I hope there won't be..

I sighed, moving to his direction. "You know, you confuse me sometimes." I said, plopping down on the chair, facing him- his eyes were pinned to the magazine... "Won't you ask me why?" I asked, but he ignored me. "I'll tell you anyway." I said with a sweet smile.

"You act like you're so tough," I said.

His eyes still didn't meet mine. "Like you have the say in everything, like nobody's above you, you act like an arrogant, tough guy, but here you are, sitting with a calm look on your face, reading a magazine and enjoying the peaceful quietness around you, and that is totally different from the character you're trying to display."

He didn't reply.

"What's your deal? I really want to know why you want me to feel intimidated by you? It's not working Emeliano, I can see though your brick wall... So lighten up, whatever you're trying to do, it's not working on me."

Still no reply.

"Do you plan on ignoring me for the rest of the day?"

No reply.

  Stifling a groan, I forcefully grabbed the magazine from his grip, throwing it to a corner beside me and watched how his mood suddenly changed from calm to angry... At least I got a reaction.

He looked up at me with clenched jaw. "Why did you do that?"

I faked a sigh of relief, placing my hands on my chest as if trying to calm my breathing... "Thank God... I seriously thought you had gone deaf. For real."

"Pass me the magazine." He simply said.

"No." I replied with a sweet smile.

"Pass it."

"No."

"Pass. It."

"No." I said, still smiling.

   He had this look of irritation on his face but soon enough, he stopped frowning and just stared at me.

"I have a request to make." I finally voiced out.

All he did was stare, wanting me to feel really uncomfortable and scared, but I will not give him that satisfaction.

"It's a Sunday, and I don't want this beautiful day to go to waste, so I thought maybe we could attend the first sermon. In church."

Still staring.

"It's not always that long, I really want to go outside today, I think you should give it a try too... You look like you need -f-resh air."

Still staring.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" I asked him.

"You took my magazine away, and surprisingly, watching you talk stupid is more fascinating than the magazine." He said.

  "I'm not talking stupid... I'm only trying to-"

"No. I don't do church... Erase that thought. You're not going anywhere."

"But-"

"No."

I sighed... "It's just for today, I won't ask for anything again-"

"No."

"Why?"

"Pass the magazine." He said.

I glared at him.... I'm so not giving up. "I won't."

"Fine then." He said, standing up and walking to the direction of the magazine, I was quick to grab it before him. "Give it." He said.

"No." I said, holding the magazine behind me. "Let's go to church, you're not going to die after one service? I really want to go."

"Hand it over." He said again, looking really pissed.

  I stood up immediately, holding the magazine above my head.

He cocked his left brow in a way that screamed. Really?

"That is just stupid Rebecca, I can get it if I want to, how's raising it up going to help when I don't need to stress before I," He grabbed me by my waist, pulling me to his body, and snatching the magazine without any trouble. "Get it." He completed with a face void of any kind of emotion.

I was trying my best not to show how much our closeness affected me, hoping he wouldn't hear the craziness going on inside my chest.

He pulled away, leaving me standing there, looking all defeated and flushed.

Brushing pass me, he walked to the direction of his study, but then he stopped, groaning and mumbling something I couldn't quite make out.

He turned to me with a deep frown as his eyes scanned my body from head to toe, then back to head. "Just one sermon and we're out of there! Got it?"

A wide grin formed on my lips. I cannot believe he's agreeing to this! It worked! It friggin worked!!!

"Got it."

"That wasn't so bad now, was it?" I asked him as we stepped out of the church. The day was really bright and beautiful, making me feel at peace with myself.

"It wasn't."

"See... I told you... You should listen to me often, It'll do you good." I said cheerfully.

"I'm sure it would." Emeliano said with a bored tone, walking to the direction of his car.

"Wait." I rushed to stand Infront of him. "What do you say, we go for a drive?" I asked.

"Nope, not a chance."

I pushed on. "It's a beautiful day outside, let's just go for a drive, maybe stop in one of those wonderful diner-"

"What are you up to?" He asked out of nowhere.

"What do you mean?" I asked, feeling my heart raise again.

"I know this mood of yours... You're up to something, that's why you're trying to be all, fun and happy... Stop it, I don't like it."

"I'm always fun and happy." I stated.

"No, you're supposed to hate me."

"Well, shocker, I don't."

He groaned and was about to say something but his eyes moved from me to a direction behind me. I scrunched my brows, wondering what caught his attention.

I was about to turn but Emeliano held my arm, making it obvious that he didn't want me to see whatever he was looking at. "I think the next sermon is about to start, why don't we just attend it?" He said.

I gave him a confused look. "Why? You were the one shaking uncomfortably in there, why do you want to go back in?" I asked, about to turn once more, but he held my arm again.

"Let's go for a walk then." He rushed out.

"Why are you acting weird? Is someone behind-"

"Rebecca?"

I froze immediately, recognizing the voice right away.

No. Way. In. Hell.

I turned slowly to confirm my suspicion... And holy Moses, there he was- standing six feet away from me with a woman standing beside him, but I was too shocked and confused to get affected by that.

I don't know what propelled my feet to his direction, and when I finally stood Infront of him, I wrapped my arms around his body for a hug, he hesitated before returning the hug but it was fine by me.

A forced smile was plastered on my lips when I was finally able to make out words.

"How in hell did you find me, Mason?"
