'Formula' for 'one' love

Enjoying the new house (kind of)

"Where does this go?" Rebekah asked, waving a plank of wood in the air. Currently Rebekah and Sebastian were attempting to put together their wardrobe. They'd already done a table, two desks, a bedside table, a bed, a TV stand, a chest of drawers, two book shelves and a dresser, which Rebekah thought was enough for one day, but Sebastian was determined to get it all done.

"We don't need that yet." Sebastian told her as he screwed two other pieces together. Rebekah sighed loudly and collapsed onto her back on the floor.

"I'm so tired." She groaned. She closed her eyes and tried to get the energy to stand back up again. Sebastian put down what he was doing and laid down on the floor next to his girlfriend. Neither of them said anything but Sebastian slipped his hand into Rebekah's.

"We have to finish this Reb, we can't have half a wardrobe." Sebastian said after a couple of minutes.

"We could, just hang half our clothes in it and the rest can just lie on top." Rebekah said seriously. Sebastian giggled and rolled onto his side so he was facing her. Rebekah followed and rolled so she was facing him. "It's a perfectly good solution."

"It's a good suggestion but not a viable solution." Sebastian told her. She stuck her bottom lip out and pouted at him. "But if we finish it we can rest for the rest of the day."

"That implies we have to do work tomorrow." Rebekah groaned rolling onto her back. Sebastian laughed and imitated her rolling onto his back.

"I'm afraid so." Sebastian comfirmed.

"Damn it!" Rebekah muttered. "I thought moving into your dream home was supposed to be fun."

"Eventually." Sebastian said. He jumped up and grabbed both of Rebekah's hands. He yanked her up so she was standing. "Come on." He grinned. She huffed but picked up another plank that was strewn across the floor.

"Where does this go?" She asked.

Rebekah threw another box aside and huffed. She'd been searching for her clothes for the past half an hour and she was still no closer to finding them.

"What are you doing?" Sebastian asked tiredly, walking into the room. It was 6:00 in the morning and the noise Rebekah was making had woken him up.

"Looking for my clothes." She told him as she grabbed another box.

"Why? It's six in the morning." He asked.

"I want to go running." Rebekah told him.

"Why so early?"

"Because I want to go for a long run but you're determined to finish unpacking today so we need as much time as possible." Rebekah said. "Yes!" She gasped as she pulled out her running top and shorts from the box.

"Can I go back to bed?" Sebastian asked.

"Yes."

"Good." Sebastian said before slouching off back to the bedroom. Rebekah quickly got changed and pulled her hair up into a bun. She ran downstairs to fish out her trainers. Once she was ready, she grabbed her iPod before heading out the house.

Rebekah grinned to herself as she ran through the forest, music blasting through her ears. Her feet pounding on the ground below in time with her music. The cold wind whipping round her as though trying to bring her to a stop. She tried to let all the thoughts in her head flow away and just focus on the path ahead. This didn't work though and her mind began to wander.

She thought about Sebastian, work and her most recurring thought, her parents. She'd never really known them as they died when she was only 2. She wondered what it would have been like to grow up with a family. She'd lived in care homes all her life and she never really classed that as family. The only person she felt she was that close to was her best friend in England, Sam. They were inseperable and Rebekah had developed a crush on him when she grew up but she had to leave when she was 14, and she hadn't spoken to him since. She felt herself welling up with tears as the thoughts ran through her head. She tried to shake it off and concentrate on her running.
