"I'm so happy you are back." I practically run to Jasper that was already opening his arms for me while Vincent greeted Jay.
"And I'm so happy I'm back in a whole piece." He joked pressing me harder against his chest.
Something in me told me to keep on alert, that maybe everything had gone as we wanted it that day but it's never that easy. Not when my dad is involved.
"Don't start again, I can hear your brain feeding you with those nasty thoughts." He placed his hands on my shoulders for further reassurance.
"I can't help it, I swear I'm trying." I admitted sadly.
I was really trying to take this win. Take the well deserved rest and not worry for at least a day but my brain wouldn't shut up.
"Hey, you good?" Vince came towards Jasper.
"As good as ever." His carefree mood was contagious.
"I'm thinking we deserve a good celebration. Wine, good food and music." Vincent announced.
"Oh I'm so in. You are too right love?" Jas turned my way with his characteristic smile.
"Of course." I nodded softly.
"I'm in too, I will kill for some good wine right now." Jay walked closer to us.
"Then let's go, me and Eve can cook while you and Jasper bring up some wine's from the cellar.
"Actually can I go with Jasper? I want him to tell me everything that happened on detail." I tried my shot not being ready to face what Vincent had admitted to me sooner that day.
He noticed I was running away from the conversation but as always he put himself on my situation and understood the reaction I had given him. He was always that good.
"Sure, pick a good one. I'm making pasta." He brushed it off so naturally making sure no one suspected something was up between us.
"Then let's go my lady, we need to find the perfect one for this occasion and it will take a while so the sooner we start the better." Jasper put his arm around my shoulder and guided me towards the wine cellars downstairs.
Walking beside him he didn't let go of me until we reached our destination. When he walked inside and started to run around the different kinds of wines I did the same. We stayed in silence for a while but I could sense he had something to say and when I was about to ask he spoke.
"Are you gonna tell me what happened between you two while we were away or it's a secret?" He looked at me between the shelves.
He might not look like it but he could notice when something was off faster than anyone I had known, well except from Vince.
"I don't know what you are talking about." I lied keeping up with my search.
I wanted to tell him I really did but sharing that part of me, ny true and raw emotions took so much courage. Courage I didn't have or at least not in that moment.
