A brooch.

It was a Lilac flower brooch with enameled Lilac petals and diamonds at the centre.

It was beautiful, I liked it.

But why would Sebastian freakin' Wilshere give me a brooch....and a hickey? Which I tried to cover it with wearing a full collar shirt.

My mind wanders back to the scene in the kitchen and I couldn't help but blush harder than Johnny Sins thrust- Okay never mind, bad comparison.

What's wrong with Sebastian? Why is he being like that all of a sudden? He cannot possibly like me right? He doesn't even know me enough to like me.

But that's probably the wrong question. The real thing is why am I allowing him to do things to me when I can easily push him away from all the strengths I have gained through lifting? Why do I feel so good when he touches me? I-I couldn't possibly like him right?

Right??????

God, this is wrong, this is so wrong. I cannot have feelings for a criminal who would only end up leaving me. How many days have left anyway? Two or three? Jo has said that they've found the whereabouts of the one's who would cause me harm, and maybe today they must've finished half of the job? He didn't tell me where the 'Somewhere' was.

Maybe that's it? But I think it would be better if he leaves. Maybe that would calm my heart and would help me to not think of him much. Also, there will be the safe distance between us, which wouldn't lead to any kind of mix feelings - or any feelings at all.

Gazing at the brooch in my hand, it became harder to ignore the feelings I was gaining for a certain person. Shaking my head, I placed the brooch in the drawer inside my wardrobe where it would be safe and shiny.

Though I don't want to admit this but I quite liked the skin to skin contact between us. It made me feel excited for some unknown reason, kinda like want to be in cloud nine.

I arrive in the kitchen to find everybody sitting on the chair for lunch. It kinda felt like a big family that were going to have lunch together. I was the only person in the room who hasn't even touched a fly, forget about killing.

Chuckling, I start to place the slices of Lasagna in everybody's plate.

Keyona was sitting between Rick and Sebastian, while Kev sat beside Juieve, the Russian peep, and beside him was Cana. There was no sign of Ricky anywhere.

I furrowed my brows in confusion.

"Where's Jo?" I asked them, but avoided Sebastian's gaze, which were fixed on me the entire time.

"I think he is still in the guest room." Rick says, and I nod my head at him.

"I'll go call him." I say before storming off upstairs to the guest room.

But I didn't miss the confused face of Sebastian when I avoided his presence in the room.

I was about to knock on the door of the guest room but I already found it half open and I couldn't help but barge in quietly.

"- that's not it Manny. So what if the kids don't want to be your friends? I'm always here for you even when I'm not, remember that kid. Dad loves you okay? I promise I'll be back soon."

Jo was facing the window and he's back was facing me. His voice sounded emotional, like he was in tremble.

He still wasn't aware of me being in the room.

"Take care of your mum. Bye sweety."

Listening Jo talk sweetly was a first because I have always seen him as a stiff guy. He hardly had any expressions on his face.

But we can't judge a book by it's cover and not after knowing, that the book longs for the embracement of his family.

I exactly know the feeling of being away from our loved ones. Experiences, I tell you.

Jo turns around and stops as he sees me, but his expression doesn't change as it remains stiff.

"Lunch is ready." I say.

He nods his head and walks past me to the door, but I call him and he stops. His back still facing me.

"I'd like to meet Manny someday."

Jo turns his head towards me, instead of giving a stiff nod or a cold face, Jo does the one thing that surprises me-

He smiles genuinely and nods his head.

"Someday." He says before walking away.

Maybe he isn't 'Straight faced' after all.

I avoided Sebastian's gaze at all cost, while we were having our lunch.

Kee & Kev were arguing about the prices of Guns, Rick was interviewing Cana about how many times he goes to the gym. Jo and Juieve were too hungry to look up from their plates, which left me to dig into the Lasagna and avoid the feeling of Sebastian's questioning- which was soon turning into restless and infuriating -gaze into mine.

God, this is harder than I thought.

"Fee, Do you know Reece's back?"

I snapped my head up to Keyona and watched her expression turned into a teasing one and mischievous glint takes place in her eyes.

What is she up to?

I shifted my gaze to Sebastian and saw him looking dangerously curious at our conversation because Keyona's teasing glint was hard to miss. Everybody's attention was towards our conversation now and I couldn't help but scratch my head at that.

"Uh yeah." I answer Kee and go back to Lasagna, avoiding the gazes.

"I can arrange a date for you guys, it's your chance. You still like him, don't you?" She smirks.

Is she Satan?

All the colours drains from my skin as I cursed internally. Why my sister has to open her big fat mouth and tell everyone about my crush on Reece.

"Reece huh?" Kev's voice spoke and soon Rick and the Russian dude started teasing me with the name of Reese. Jo just smiled.

While I looked like a tomato and couldn't stop blushing. I wasn't blushing because I had a crush on Reece, not at all.

I was blushing because everybody was teasing me and with teasing, the blush occurs naturally and I can't help with that.

"Stop it you guys." I mumble looking down at my plate.

Everybody starts to laugh at my coyness.

Everybody, except Sebastian, who immediately stands up from his chair.

Everyone goes quiet after that. Not a single thing could be heard, not even the gulping if Cana's food in his throat.

Sebastian's eyes were dangerously dark and angry. While his fist was formed into a tight ball and his jaw was clenched harder against his teeth. He looked at everyone dangerously and his gaze stops on me. It stays on me for a long time, glaring at me with his dark eyes, before shaking his head in disapproval at me.

Ofcourse, I disappointed him. I had lied to him when he asked about me liking Reece or not.

And just like that, Sebastian walks away, but not before glaring at me once again.
