A million thoughts whiz through my mind ( as they usually do.) when I finally come back to reality I notice Day is still there, oh he asked me something. I murmur yes, then he loops his arm in mine and jokingly skips away.
When we arrive at Tess's house I realize we're about 23 minutes late, I knock rapidly against the door until, I hear footstep on the other side. Tess opens the door and her face immediately glows up at the sight of me and Day linked arms, I notice and quickly put my arm behind my back, and I give her a glare, and try to keep down the intense blush rising in my cheeks. Tess's voice is squeaky but clear " Hey, Junnie!" She exclaims. (She started calling me that a few months ago.) " Hey Daniel, it's been so long." She squeals as she runs in for a hug. "Hey cousin, I've missed you tons also." Day says with smirk. Tess looks at Eden and immediately starts to blush, she gives him a quick glance before everyone goes in. What's with Tess and Eden? I wonder. Have they always liked each other, but I was to busy saving Day and myself I guess I never noticed.
At the dinner table I find Pascao sitting alone hunched over in one corner. Everyone finds a spot to sit and it's clear that everyone has left me to sit next to Day. I have barely noticed the amount of food on the table, a large ham is the centre Piece and lots of vegetables, puddings and red wine is on the table. The total cost of that would at least be 14,000 notes. "Tess, is this all for me?" I grin. " Well it's for your birthday but it's also for everyone to eat." She starts to chuckle, and everyone else start laughing like it was the funniest thing ever.
I sit, embarrassed about what I just said. Day leans over so his lips brush my ear, a shiver runs through me with his hot breathe against my skin.
"I think what you said made sense." He retreats and he glances at me, his perfect eyes consume me so much I have to stop myself from crying. I've been trying to run away from him for so long, and now I'm here next to him, so close I can feel the heat radiating off of him. Why do I do this to myself?
