"please give it back..."
She whined and jumped to snatch the diary from Sebastian's hand.
"Let me see it and I'll give it back..."
Sebastian chuckled holding his hand high.
"No, it's bad manners to look into someone's personal diary..."
She stomped her feet and whined.
"I always used to get detention for stealing diaries in school..."
Sebastian threw the diary towards Vincenzo and he easily cought it.
"Vincenzo?..."
She gave him puppy eyes.
"Let's see what you have in it..."
Vincenzo chuckled sitting on the bed.
"No! god this is so embarrassing..."
She tried to snatch it but Sebastian held her back and sat down beside Vincenzo while caging Florina in his lap.
"Keep quiet and let us see..."
He locked her her hand in his and she huffed.
Vincenzo opened the first page and one picture fell down, he picked it up and looked at with shocked.
"Who is he?..."
"He is my father..."
She answered sadly.
"I lost him in the car accident..."
Sebastian took the picture from him and raised his eyebrows in surprise. Vincenzo and Sebastian looked at each other with knowing expressions but didn't said anything.
"How was your relation with your father..."
Sebastian asked.
"You wanna know?..."
Florina grinned.
"He was my superhero... I love him so much. You know whenever I was confused between two dresses he used to buy both of them. He always used to protect me, we were like best friends."
"How he died?..."
Vincenzo asked.
"Car accident... It was very bad that I couldn't even recognize their bodies..."
She mumbled.
"Sorry to hear that..."
Sebastian rubbed her back and she nodded.
Vincenzo placed the picture back in its place and turned the page.
"What's this?..."
He asked looking at the animated picture of a river which is covered with cherry blossom looking like pink flow, flamingos floating on the water adding dark pink color to the scene and a couple sitting in the boat under the yellow, orange color of the sky.
"It's my fantasy world... I made this when I was in highschool, I wanted to go somewhere like this with my lover and spend time with him... Stupid I know, don't laugh at me, okay... I was reading romantic novels at that time..."
She face palmed herself.
She heard them laughing at her. They teased her for her childish fantasies making her laugh too.
"Did you guys talked about Maria?...."
She asked.
"Yes, we did... And Catherine is right, she has right to do anything she wants. She is not kid anymore and if something happens we are here..."
Sebastian said and Vincenzo nodded.
"Aww, such a good brothers she has..."
Florina pinched their cheeks.
"No one dared to pinch our cheeks till now, girl..."
Vincenzo said.
Florina grinned and kissed his nose tip.
"Privileges of being a girlfriend..."
"Aren't you abusing your rights... You made me massage your whole body..."
Sebastian asked with furrowed eyebrows.
"Yes, because you both made it sore..."
She crossed her hands over her chest and they grinned.
"Okay, I want to cook dinner for us today... What you want to eat..."
"That's something new... Anything you are good at..."
Vincenzo said and she jumped out of Sebastian's lap and excitingly went to the kitchen.
Vincenzo again look at her father's picture.
"Should we tell her?..."
He asked Sebastian.
"He is dead... It's of no use now, let her live with his sweet memories... She loves him"
Sebastian said.
"This is so Fucked up..."
Vincenzo said and Sebastian couldn't help but agree with him.

"How is it?..."
She asked clasping her hands and looking at them as they ate the spaghetti she made.
"You made this?..."
Sebastian asked in disbelief.
"Yeah..."
She grinned.
"You used to cook for yourself all this days when you were staying alone."
Vincenzo asked drinking water.
"Yes... Who else can cook for me?..."
She said smiling.
"It's good..."
Sebastian said with nervous smile and Vincenzo was ready to throw up.
The food was not at all good, it was salty and spicy. It was too dry and little bit burnt but they didn't said anything to her, she was too excited.
"I have never ate something like this before..."
Vincenzo said with smile and her grin widened.
"Really?..."
"Yeah..."
They both said in unison. She couldn't understand the double meaning behind it.
"Then I can cook for you everyday..."
"NO..."
They both yelled at the same time.
"Why..."
Her eyes widened at their voice.
"You don't have to, there are maids for that... We don't want you to get hurt... Come eat with us..."
Sebastian said and she sat down beside him.
They looked at her as she ate the food and praised herself.
"I am so talented..."
They both internally smacked their heads.
'i really need this kind of confidence in my life...'
Vincenzo cursed.
'this girl is so weird... Shit, fuck me...'
Sebastian cursed, drinking juice to tame his tongue which was on fire.
"We are going out of country, and you are coming with us... Maids will help you to pack your bags..."
Vincenzo informed and she scrunched her eyebrows in confusion.
"Where are we going?..."
"Its a business work and we both has something to take care of... You must be bored staying in the mansion whole day."
Sebastian said.
"Yes I am bored..."
She agreed.
"Good, then you are coming with us... We don't think it will be problem now as you have stopped trying to escape..."
Vincenzo mocked.
Florina narrowed his eyes and gave him a poker face.
"When are we leaving..."
"In the morning..."
"What?... I don't have a time... I'll go and pack now..."
She said standing up and ran towards her room.
"How can she be so excited over small things?..."
Sebastian mumbled.
"May be we would have behave the same if our childhood would have been normal..."
Vincenzo answered and they both looked at each other with sad eyes.
