-5 Chapter Thirteen (1/2)

*** Yna ***

I woke up the next morning to a jolly start. I brushed my teeth, brushed my hair; then I looked for another one of the dresses my aunt gave me. It was a bit too short but it still fits even though I got it 2 years ago. I was pretty certain that Nyx was going to love it. It was short enough to reveal my half of my thighs but not too short to reveal anything else. The material clung to my body and once in my life I was overjoyed I haven't added much weight. I went out to see everyone enjoying their breakfast. Everyone except the person I was actually looking for.

”Where's Nyx?”

”I don't know, maybe he is still sleeping. I'll go wake him up,” grandma replied.

”No it's fine. I'll do it.” I went to the living room and knocked the door. I waited for a few seconds before I knocked again harder this time. Still no response. I opened the door and found the room empty. I left the room puzzled.

”He is not in the living room.”

”Where could he have gone then?”

”Maybe he decided he dislikes Yna after all,” Luisa blurted out.

”What is that supposed to mean?”

”Ignore her, Yna and eat your food. Don't worry, he is probably in the toilet or went out for a walk.”

”I am not worried.” I am not, I told myself. I mean there is no way he could suddenly just stop liking me. Right?

Did I scare him yesterday? Was it all too overwhelming? Did he realise that he could not deal with my powers after all.

No, of course not. That's impossible. I'm probably just over thinking it.

”Let's just hope he realised he isn't welcomed here and left.”

”Eduardo please stop.”

I need to stop over thinking this. He has not left. He will come back. Because he likes me. Well there's a chance he might like me. I mean I think he likes me. He doesn't seem the type to play around.

Nyx didn't show up even though it was almost noon. Me and grandma were getting more worried. No one else really cared. I couldn't focus on my lessons with Amor and all my train of thoughts kept leading back to Nyx.

”Amor, can I quickly go get a drink?”

”Sure...” I didn't even let her finish, I took off and left the room. I went straight to grandma who was still in the living room.

”He is still not back yet?”

”No not...”

”Well hello, nice to see you again, well for me.”

Oh my god.

”What are you doing here? How? Eduardo, come quick and bring the others?” grandma screamed.

”Oh my god what is he doing here? How did you get in?” Uncle Eduardo questioned.

”Questions, questions; is that really how you welcome guests?”

”Nyx. He did this. I knew we shouldn't have let him in.”

”It's not him, he wouldn't...” I tried to justify but wasn't convincing anyone not even me.
