So now that we have a new character who is important to the plot, I wanted to write his perspective so I hope you guys enjoy 😉 ...

Sean

Getting off of the phone with Eli was a difficult task seeing as he kept asking how his sister was doing and to see if she needed anything. Sighing, I slid my phone in my pockets and turned to the task at hand. Filling the cup with cold water, I lifted it to my lips and downed it with one large gulp. Walking over to the trash can, I tossed the empty cup and stood by the entrance of the mansion, taking my normal stoic stance.

Given the circumstances, I was instructed to guard the Marcelo's by Elijah until he arrived. He specifically assigned me to his sister saying if anyone laid a hand on her except her husband, I was free to do whatever I wanted to do to them. However, Sebastian wasn't happy when he heard the news, he wanted me to go back and tend to Elijah's instructions but I shook it off and continued to do my task at hand.

Hearing voices inside the mansion, I turned slightly just enough to see the girl Sophia and Amelia walking down the stairs towards the kitchen. They were whispering amongst themselves, their eyes wide in wonder while their hands gestured upstairs. Feeling intrigued, my eyes surveyed the girl's form while she maintained oblivious to my presence.

I didn't know what made me feel interest in her, but whatever it was, it made me damn mad that I couldn't put my finger on it. We barely exchanged a few words and yet I felt like as if I've known her my entire damn life. Just thinking about it made me scowl of how corny it sounded. Frustratedly, I kicked a rock under my feet and it landed on the path of the car just as Sebastian got out of it.

"The hell did the rock ever do to you?" His amused voice rang across the pathway as he made his way over to me.

Rolling my eyes, I let out a frustrated sigh and muttered a curse under my breath. Raising his eyebrows, his eyes strayed away from mine and landed on his wife who was probably in the kitchen now, a grin lit up his features as he pushed past me and made his way into the mansion eager to get to his wife. Just before he could go in, he poked his head out the door and beckoned for me to come in too.

Having no say in the matter, I slowly went up the steps and trailed behind him my eyes surveying the walls slowly. The women's laughter were heard as we made our way into the kitchen. Unaware of our presence, they continued to talk amongst one another, glancing towards the clock every once in a while. Eyes betraying me, they landed on Sophia and my breath hitched in my throat as I saw her bashful smile lighting up her whole face.

"The men should be here by now, the dinner is getting cold," Her worried voice rang throughout the kitchen.

Glancing back, Amelia let out a chuckled while wiping her hands on a towel. "Don't worry they'll be here Soph, maybe something came up."

"Or they're already here," Gasping they both turned their heads in our direction.

An excited squeal escaped from Amelia as she leapt in Sebastian's arms catching him off guard. Falling back a step, he quickly regained his balance before swooping Amelia off the ground, spinning her in circles, he gently laid her down on her feet and captured her lips with his. Looking away from them, a smirk formed its way onto my lips when I saw Sophia rolling her eyes at them.

Continuing with her work, she started to wash the dishes humming a tune softly to her self. Not wanting to disturb the couple, I moved to stand next to her and began to rinse off the dishes she washed. A startled gasp fell through her lips and her wide eyes landed on mine. Staring at me, she tilted her head to the side like she did before in the hospital and started to study me making me uncomfortable. Trying not to pay any heed, I continued to rinse the dishes and stacked them to the dishwasher leaving them to dry.

"What are you doing?" Raising her eyebrows, she gestured to the dishes stacked up.

Scratching my neck softly I glanced back at her, "It looked like you needed help."

Nodding her head in understanding, she whirled around to face the door as Damon appeared. An unknown tension filled the room as Sophia's muscles tensed and she tried to force her eyes away from his. Damon stared at her for a long moment trying to gain her attention. A throat cleared behind us, Sebastian gestured to the dining table silently telling us to sit down.

Just after all of us sat down, Hunter appeared with the kids behind him arguing about some Disney shit movie. Pulling out a chair for the kids, Hunter watched as the two of them sat down before taking his own seat. The women began to set the table and we started to eat after they took their seats. The tension was still present in the room as I glanced at Sophia picking at her food never once touching it.

Her eyes caught mine and I motioned towards her food, smiling uncomfortably, she hesitantly picked up her food and began to eat little by little. The tension increased tenfold when I felt a glare from my peripheral vision. My eyes flickered from Sophia to Damon, eyes blazing with anger he stared at me waiting for me to back down.

I felt like Damon knew I was interested in Sophia and he wanted to stake his claim by making me back down. But, it was too late now, I wanted to get to know who the real Sophia was and maybe befriend her or maybe I wanted to be more than that. In truth, I wanted to be someone important in her life. Maybe I was developing feelings way too fast, but hell with it, you only live once right?
