Yeah. Not Going To Happen. Ever.
Mina was laughing uselessly with her friend. No matter how funny things were her heart still ached and she couldn't stop thinking of the kiss she witnessed. As they entered her Uncles house, her Aunt called to her.
"Yes, Aunt Matilda?" She poked her head around the wall.
"Can you go make sure Henry's cleaned his room like I asked?" Mina nodded and started up the stairs with her friend in tow.
"I can't believe your cousin is Henry." Her friend giggled, one of Henry's many fan girls. "You're so lucky."
"Lucky I got a lock on my door." She grumbled, her and her friend burst out laughing. "Hey Henry-" Mina stopped dead in her tracks after she opened his door. What she saw in the room frightened her more than anything. Her stomach jumped and her heart clogged her throat.
"Hey Mina, Vlad's back!" Mina only let her eyes go to Henry for a fraction of a second before they returned to Vlad. Then a loud ringing filled the room.
"Oh that's my mom." Her friend took out her phone and after a short conversation hung up. "I got to go Mina, sorry. See ya tomorrow." She called and hurried down the stairs.
Mina stood still and frozen in her spot. Her shocked expression melted into intense agony just before calm entered her emotions. Her eyes closed for a moment and snapped open at Vlad.
"Goodbye." She whispered and walked to her room down the hall.
"Mina!" Henry called after her; she ignored him and resided in her room until dinner. Soon her name was called out into the house and she reluctantly went pass Henry's room to get to the kitchen. Her aunt had her help with set the table.
"Mina, go ask if Vlad is staying for dinner, so I can know how many to serve."
"Can't you just...?"
"Are you not talking to Henry, Mina?" Her aunt asked when she saw Mina's expression.
"It's not Henry..." Mina grumbled and started up the stairs anyway. As she stood outside Henry's door she debated just yelling through the door. But she needed to see Vlad, no matter how upset or angry she was, she needed to see him. Something deep inside her chest pulled her through the door and into the soul inside it. She had to open the door.
The door handle was cold in her hand as she turned and pulled it open. Both boys were sitting on Henry's bed and watching the TV. Mina stood in the door way, they didn't even budge. She leaned against the door frame and crossed her arms.
"Henry is he staying for dinner?" She asked. Both boys look at each other and back to her.
"Yeah." Henry answered; she pushed away from the door frame and started to turn.
"Then it's ready." She headed down stairs and sat down at the table, finding it set. Her uncle came in and sat down, followed by Greg. Soon enough Henry and Vlad entered and sat down. Vlad choose the seat next to Mina.
Her aunt served the full plates and sat down at her end of the table. Mina sat next to her and Vlad, Greg across from her at the table. She picked up her fork and stabbed it into the food and brought it to her mouth. Keeping her eyes down, she attempted not to listen to the conversation at the table.
"So Vlad how was your vacation?"
"It was great. It is so beautiful there." Vlad told them, and then added to it. "And it's cold."
"Did you meet anyone new?" Her aunt asked after everyone but Mina laughed. Mina closed her eyes and rolled them under her lids. 'Yeah, Vlad? Did you meet any new girls there?' Mina thought to herself.
