After Yvonne ended the call with Emil, she sent a text to Lina telling her about Emil's decision. She received a reply after some couple of seconds which read,
" Okay dear, I will try and accompany you tomorrow"
Yvonne read the message and thought of replying when the phone vibrated again, alerting her of a new message.
She tapped on the message and read amidst smiles.
Lina had sent " No matter what, I will be there ! My boss can fire for all I care ! And if that should happen, I will have a reason to open my own shop."
' We definitely are cousins !' Yvonne muttered to herself.
That night when Emil had come home and they had all eaten their dinner, with the exception of Daniel, Yvonne took Emil to the mini theater in the mansion to watch a movie.
Aunt Phillis sent them apple fruit juice together with baked chips.
" What kind of movie do you like watching?" Yvonne asked while staring at Emil
"You choose,I will watch anything you choose"
" Okay, then don't complain later" Yvonne spoke as she choose the movie. It was a Korean romance movie.
Few minutes into the movie and Emil became bored. He stared at the girl who sat beside him and felt it was a waste of time watching the movie.
He preferred to watch Yvonne instead.
"Do you think its the right thing to do ?" Yvonne suddenly asked breaking their silence
" What thing?" Emil looked lost while he asked back
Yvonne answered without taking her eyes off the screen " The girl offering herself to the boy because she thinks that's the best thing to do if only she wants to bind him to herself "
Emil briefly looked at the screen, opened his mouth and asked " What do you think?"
" Me? what I think ?"
"mmm"
" I don't know what to think, on one hand, I think that's the right thing to do. And on the other hand, ..." She paused and looked at Emil, not knowing if she should continue her sentence.
'What if...?'
" You think offering oneself isn't enough to sustain a relationship?"
" How ?"
" I don't know, I just guessed. And anyways, its easy to conclude, considering where you began from"
" So what do you think? " Yvonne repeated her unanswered question. She was curious to know what Emil thought of such situation.
Emil slightly frowned with his brows knitted, ' What he think?'
" It's ones choice to make, and if you want to know my take on this issue, then I don't agree with the girl, such idea shouldn't be the reason for having sex with the one you love. "
Yvonne smiled as she listened to Emil's words. The truth is, she felt afraid when she watched that scene of the female lead taking that step.
She had even thought of taking the same step with Emil as the girl in the movie. That's why she had asked him what he thought of the girl's decision.
" Hey, stop having those crazy ideas and focused on the movie. If you're bored of watching just like I ..." Emil suddenly paused, stopping himself from completing his sentence.
He had wanted to say "If you're bored of watching just like I am, let's go and do something else" But he couldn't bring himself to say it, because he saw how concentrated she was. And most importantly, she had warned him not to complain later !
" You were saying something? "
" Nothing, it isn't important " Emil lied and curled his lips up
Seconds later, Emil's eyes sharpened with mischief, he smirked and pulled closer to Yvonne, he took her hand in his
" But if you want.." he softly squeezed her hand " we can at least follow her step, but not for the same reason "
Yvonne's heart skipped a beat and she blushed. She didn't know how to respond to his words. So to be on the safe side, she kept mum, refusing to say a word.
" Should we?" Emil pressed on with his earlier words. He saw her blushing face and that gave him the satisfaction he needed.
He chuckled and pulled her into his embrace, hugging her from the back. She didn't try to pull back, but instead leaned in to his embrace and placed her head on his chest.
" I love you, always remember that. You don't need sex to bind me to you, because from the onset, I was already yours." Emil softly whispered beside her ear.
Yvonne closed her eyes and smiled. She love him too.
