Chapter 3 - Chapter Three

Camila stayed over for dinner, it didn't look suspicious to Mr. and Mr. Tevel seeing as Camila stayed over at their house a lot, because of their job.

Mr. and Mrs. Tevel and Camila parents worked in the same finance department at their job so they see each other to a great extent.

"Honey, relax and eat..."

Mr. Tevel mumbled to Zaccai seeing how jittery she was in her seat.

And not knowledgeable about the reason.

Zaccai nerves where bouncing everywhere she was nervous knowing that right after they were finished with the dinner the lie would be told.

The only thoughts swimming through her mind were 'what if we get caught'.

Camila only stayed over her house so she could start her plan and seeing how Zaccai was jittery because of nervousness, was also making her nervous.

Camila was scared the two adults in the room were going to get suspicious of Zaccai behavior, as it's not something she'll normally do, only if she's, nervous, scared or worried which in fact she is all of.

So the only thing Camila could think of to make Zaccai stop bouncing her legs is to forcefully press her hand downs on her knees which should seize her from bouncing her legs.

But the opposite happened.

Zaccai was frightened by the hand on her leg, which led to her bouncing her legs in higher which resulted in Camila hands, which were still on her legs hitting the bottom of the table.

"Mierdade Mierda!!" Shouted Camila in her native language, while grabbing her hands to try and soothe it from the aching feeling.

Her sudden loud outburst frightened Zaccai not knowing the cause. The whole dinner table was quiet looking at Camila in fright and anger the latter coming from the two adults.

"Sorry I accidentally bit my tongue, the food was just too good to eat slowly," Camila said, smiling cheekily she knew the only way out of the situation was to compliment Mrs. Tevel food which in fact worked. Seeing as she gave her a slight smile and went back to eating.

Zaccai also went back to eating though she stopped with her jittering

"So Zaccai our three-year anniversary is coming up," said Camila looking cool as usual.

"Y-yeah it is" Zaccai replied nervously with a shake in her voice while taking a quick glimpse at her parents who stopped eating and was staring at their plate.

"So I was planning on..."

"Nope... No whatever you're going to say it's a no," cuts Mrs. Tevel

"What come on I'm just taking her to the aquarium and I'm sure she has never been there, plus it's our anniversary you have to let her go."

"No, I don't you to, you can celebrate your anniversary here in her room watching a chick-flick or something."

"It's our three year anniversary at least let her go out for once, Mr.Tevel what do you think?"

Mr. Tevel was always a quiet man as much as he is protective of his daughter, he was more understanding than his wife and he knew she wanted to go to the aquarium.

Everyone, even the quiet Zaccai was now watching Mr. Tevel hoping that whatever was to come out of his mouth would benefit them.

"I see no problem with it... She will have fun and one day at the aquarium won't change her behavior and plus it's their friendship anniversary the least we could do is let them go," Mr. Tevel finished off, his wife was left gapping at him she surely thought he would be on her side.

Zaccai and Camila were smiling widely. There was no way Mrs. Tevel would say no now, that her husband agreed.

"Fine, you can go, but I need to know the date, time and location for when you're leaving and coming back," Mrs. Tevel said.

Camila told her all that she needed to know not caring about it since the permission to go was sealed.

"It's a night aquarium...."

"What no... Even worse night, which aquarium is open in the night?" Protested Mrs. Tevel 'night, so someone could kidnap my daughter' she thought.

"It has to be in the night they're having a glow in the dark theme night and if we go in the morning, we can't see it, it's a one in a lifetime thing we can't miss it," Camila replied

"Fine, fine you can go what's the time you will return."

"Midnight.... And before you protest, there will be a fireworks show at exactly midnight and I'm sure Zaccai doesn't want to miss it, we can even drive the car, so what do you say" Camila thanked the big man above for helping her come up with such a lie while under pressure.

Mrs. Tevel looked at her daughter who was pouting at her, she couldn't say no to that face.

"Fine you can go, but remember midnight no later than that and carry pepper spray, make sure your phone is fully charged so I can get you when I call and if there are any problems at all call me."

Zaccai was glad all she had to do was give her puppy dog face because talking would leave her a stuttering mess.
