Chapter 21

Ethan had not bothered me since I had left the island and was thankful for the mental shutdown. I never heard the boats engines stop or felt Sebastian pick me up and carry me to the guest house. The only reason I woke was because I was placed into bed and covered up causing me to freak out. I shot straight up with a fist straight to Sebastian's jaw. "FUCK!" Sebastian yelled out and jumped away from me as I stood to my feet. I was still in a sleep state and unable to grip onto reality as I started to strike again with Sebastian yelling for me to stop. "Jesus Mia chill out it is me...." his voice still being so new it was not registering in my brain. "BACK.....UP!" I screamed out and stepped forward again and right into Sebastian's rock-hard chest. He did not touch me just stood hard as a rock calling out my name. "Open your eyes MIA and look at me!" He said in an authoritative tone. A second later Ethan was yelling at me telling me to wake up or he'd have too and couldn't promise he wouldn't hurt me.

My eyes shot open and there Sebastian stood against the wall with his arms down to his side. I was pressed up against him with my fists at his chest. "I-I..... please get out..." I whispered and before I knew it, I was kissing him. Sebastian didn't stop me at first until he heard my name being called from the front door. "NO! Mia..." he gasped and gripped my waist. I was now more aware of what was happening, and I stepped back leaving the room and Sebastian. I flew down the stairs not finding a soul insight and knew the voice we heard was Ethan. "Damn it, sis.... I did not say kiss the man! I was trying to get you to wake up without scaring or hurting you. So, get yourself together and make him leave you alone, father used me as his bate to get him to stay on. He is only staying because he feels bad for us.... we don't need pity we need people who are solid and can protect us!" Ethan says as he used his energy to move objects since I could not see him but could hear him. I heard footsteps on the stairs and knew it was Sebastian and decided that talking out loud was not going to work. "Ethan for fuck sake chill out would you.... you have papers flying all over the place and there is not even a strong enough breeze outside. I'm awake and aware now so please back off... I'll figure this out!" I say using my mind instead of voice.

As I felt Sebastian come down the last landing and finally to the main floor I turned around and faced him. "Mia, are you alright.... that can't ever happen again ok, I'm flattered but...." "Sebastian don't I don't want to hear it and I'm sorry I kissed you... not sure where that came from, I guess I just needed the connection. Don't worry I won't tell my father or anyone else for that matter, but if you're only here because my dad told you about my dead brother... ugh I don't need sympathy since it's been 15 years. I am strong enough to take care of myself and don't need a babysitter or bodyguard. I'm not down with this security crap anyways and I am going to have a talk with my father later. So seriously don't feel you have to stay because of whatever he said" I cut him off before he could make me feel worse. I felt so exhausted unable to even form words as I fell to my knees on the floor right in front of the front door. No sound, not even tears came out just tired too tired to do anything.

Sebastian gripped me tight and helped me to my feet after a few mins of trying to get me to talk. "Come on Mia.... here you want to know what I think of you? You're not spoiled.... yes, I thought that in the beginning but being here and getting to know you by watching you.... you are just a complicated person!" he said but I just didn't care what he was saying and let it just bypass my thoughts. Ethan's voice was the only one I heard yelling at me to snap out of it. "Damn it Mia you're acting just like mother did before dad hospitalized her. Now you better do something before...." "Tired... just tired" I finally say but was not sure if I said it loud enough for Sebastian to hear me. I finally stood tall and strong and left out the front door seeing that it was getting dark and knew dinner would be ready soon. Sebastian was close behind saying something about the kiss and not to say anything. I was emotionless and all I could think about was getting a little something to eat and some much-needed rest. I turned to face Sebastian who was now panicked with worry that I was going to tell everyone about our kiss. I gave him a "death" glare and proceeded inside and into the kitchen.

Greta was busy in the dinning, room feeding my family and friends along with her husband Ronnie. I could hear laughter and that touched me giving me light within knowing that at least they were all happy even if it wasn't real. I carefully took a plate that was sitting out with food and handed it to Sebastian and pointed to the table in the kitchen. I took the next plate and headed into the dinning, room when Greta had not yet returned. I kept my head down and took the head of the table seat that wasn't occupied ignoring everyone who was speaking to me. I didn't bother to look up at anyone and started to eat first my salad and then my soup that had been already on the table. The room got silent as the door to the kitchen opened and out walked Sebastian with his plate. "Hi everyone, ummm hope it's ok if I just sit in here and eat and then I will get back to my post" Sebastian says as he took the seat next to me. "What the fuck is going on between the two of you... and why does Mia look like something happened? Why won't she even look at us?" Catherine blurted out.

My parents both had that look of "OMG...." in their eyes as I looked up and eyed everyone. I stayed emotionless which made everyone gasp out a breath with pure fear in their eyes. After a few mins I went back to eating and ignored everyone's talking and accusing Sebastian of doing something to upset me. After eating and having desert I cleaned up my spot and returned to the dinning, area and hugged and kissed my parents, then to my two gay best friends Jose and Nicholas then to Greta and Ronnie who were talking near the living room area and I saved the best for last. I took Catherine's hands and tugged her lightly until she stood. Catherine smiled but it didn't reach her lips which told me she was concerned. I ran my hands through her hair and caressed her face before kissing her softly which made her a little weak. I held her in my arms which made me feel so much better. "Thank you" I whispered in her ear before moving away and heading towards the kitchen and out the back door. I was naked by the time I made it to my room and right into the bathroom to start a hot bath. I noticed all the bags that now covered my bedroom floor and the one that brought a smile to my face just thinking about it and the ideas I had once had that day.

10 mins later I wasn’t surprised when Catherine had found her way to me but wasn't naked yet and was waiting for me to ask her to join me. I stood slowly and held out my hand giving her permission leaving it up to her. Catherine did not hesitate and was out of her clothes within seconds. "So, you're not in the mood to talk I get it but you’re like emotionless which I have never seen before. I just want you to know I'm here like I always have been!" Catherine says softly as she got down into the water and right between my legs. I leaned forward and wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her in. I put my chin down on her shoulder and sighed not really sure what I was supposed to say or what I should say since every-time I opened my mouth I seemed to hurt someone. Catherine didn't pressure me or beg me to talk just let me hold her and touch her the way I wanted. Catherine finally turned around to face me as I rubbed her and massaged her feeling my way all over her body. She still didn't pressure me to talk just touched my face and made me drop my guard a little more as she made me feel better.
