TRISTAN
"Now can you give me a good reason why you haven't eaten?" I asked Tanya immediately as I walked into my room where she had already made herself comfortable in the bed.
"You should know by now that I can't eat without you, so why ask again?" She queried, smiling sheepishly.
"Really? Am I now your appetite or am I the food you wanna eat, huh?" I asked rhetorically as I laid on the bed tiredly.
"You can call it whatever you want, I don't care, I just love seeing you before eating anything and I expect you to be happy that someone is always waiting for you," She said, arms folded and I took my eyes to her.
"Why should I be happy when I have always warned you to eat something whether I'm around or not. Do you want to die of ulcer?" I asked, trying to calm my anger.
"Of course not,I can't have an ulcer just because I missed today's food and it is not possible for it to because I always have my breakfast on time so stop exaggerating."She argued.
"Well, I know, but you know I wouldn't be happy if anything bad happens to you right?'' I asked and she nodded with a pout.
"Please,don't wait for me anymore, I can't bear to see you sick, anytime I'm not around,please eat okay? It weakens me to see you sick, it makes me weak as well," I said, making her blush a bit.
"I don't think that is possible, it might not work but I would try. Now let's eat before the food gets cold." She said, placing the food in between the both of us on the bed.
"So how was the mission?" She asked excitedly, putting a large chunk of grain into her mouth.
"It went well as usual and I might be going for another one this evening or tomorrow morning depending on the master's call,"I said.
"Master should allow you to rest, you are already growing lean and too old for your age. Just look at you, who would ever think you are just seventeen? You look like an old man of forty years." She teased and I frowned slightly.
"Really? What about you old woman! Who looks older between you and I? You look like a fifty-three years old woman when you are just fifteen." I said with a smirk and the angry look on her face made me want to laugh but I held it and wore a serious look.
"That is a big lie, I look younger and beautiful. I'm sure you are only trying to get on my nerves but it won't work on me." She said sticking her tongue out.
I smiled a bit seeing that she already knows what I'm trying to do.
"Whatever, you got me already. Just eat fast and go into your room, I need to rest before Edwardo calls me," I said then yawned tiredly.
She grumbled out some words in displeasure before eating up her food hurriedly.
"I'm going. Make sure you rest well." She said standing up with the used plates.
"Alright, I will come see you later." I said, closing my eyes and it didn't take long before I finally slept off like someone who is drunk, that is to show how tired I am.
TANYA
I walked into my room which I shared with a bunch of other girls so technically I can't call it my room well that doesn't really matter right now. I am trying so hard to calm my anger and frustration but it wasn't working.
And my reason for being so angry and frustrated is Tristan, yes Tristan.
You see I have been in love with Tristan for a very long time now but I can't bring myself to tell him with my own mouth because in the world we live in it's not acceptable for a girl to express how she feels to someone of the opposite sex and I find that really stupid. Why can't I be free to tell someone I love them when I do? Anyways I find myself in that shoes, being in love with Tristan and not being able to tell him but I have being giving a hundred and one signs to show I like him but I don't know if he isn't seeing my signs or he is reading it to mean a different thing.
see it and it hurts a lot.
Loving someone in secret and not been able to tell the person and the person in question doesn't even notice and worst thing is that he sees me as a close friend or maybe sister.
The feeling I have for him is obvious to almost everyone but oblivious to him.
Tristan has been there for me since I was brought here by Edwardo,I met him here.
I was brought here cause of my parent debt,they borrowed a huge amount of money from Edwardo and they couldn't pay back,so he took me from them telling them to come for me when they have his money.
Back then,I always wait by the gate expecting them to come for me cause I missed them terribly and I was missing home.
I always cry anytime they didn't come for me,but Tristan was always there for me,he gave me his shoulders to cry on and he is always listening to me till date.
I fell for him gradually but he sees me as a friend and a sister he doesn't have.If my parent are to come for me now,I will gladly stay behind cause this is my home,my family are here and I'm addicted to what I do,stealing.And lastly,I don't want to leave Tristan for anything.
"Are you okay Tanya?"I heard a gentle voice behind me and I know that it belongs to Mia.
"Why do you ask?"I queried staring at her calmly.
"You look paranoid and worried."She said observing the look on my face.
"Really?"I asked rhetorically and she nodded with a serious and worried look.
"Tell little sis what the problem is."She said cheerfully making me smile.
She was also taken from her parent just like me,she is still a young girl of thirteen,but she has the body of an adults.
And just like Tristan gave me his shoulders to cry and lean on,I also gave her mine.
"Don't worry Mia,I will be fine."I said with an assuring smile.
"That would be great."She said with a grin.
"Oh my gee,the master actually asked me to call you and I have totally forgotten."She said in realisation.
"The master?"I asked and she nodded positively.
"Alright,let's go."I said taking her hands as we both walked out of the room.
.
I was curious as to why Edwardo called for me, though I do go on missions but it's once in a while. Maybe going on a mission would help me calm my nerves a bit.
I paused a little when I got to his room cause of the faces in the room.
Not just any faces, but Tristan's.
What the heck is going on here? I asked myself cause I was confused and didn't understand what was going on.
