Nina's POV

The drive to town took about 10 minutes. The ride there was silent. Fabian was looking out the window and I was laying my head on his shoulder.

"Were here," the driver announced, pulling up to the curb. We exited the cab and Fabian paid the driver.

"So, were do you wanna go first? I asked Fabian as he grabbed my hand.

"I'm not quite sure. It's up to you."

"Then can we go get something to eat?" I asked. It was already noon and we hadn't eaten lunch yet.

"Sure," he replied with a slight smile on his face. The restaurant was about 2 block away so we decided to walk. The whole way there though, I had a feeling we were being followed. I decided to ignore it. However, something was just nagging me to turn around. Finally, I did and was shocked with what I saw.

Rufus.

I let out a gasp, Fabian took notice and turned around. "Nina? What's wrong?" he asked concerned. By this time Rufus had already hidden himself.

"N-n-nothing." I lied.

"I know something wrong, now what is it?"

"I-I-I think I saw Rufus," I stuttered out.

"WHAT? WERE?" he practically screamed.

"Shhhhhhhhh….your drawing attention!" I whisper/yelled.

"Sorry," he apologized as he looked down.

"It's fine Fabes. Lets just go eat, but lets keep a lookout for Rufus," with that we headed towards the restaurant. We arrived there and got a table outside.

"What do you wanna do after this?" Fabian asked breaking the silence.

"If you don't mind, can we go back to the house? I just don't trust being out in the open with Rufus on the loose."

"Sure, I was actually thinking the same thing." our food came and we ate.

Fabian called a cab. The ride back was the same as the ride there. Silent, Fabian looking out the window as I was laying on his shoulder. We arrived, Fabian paid, and we headed inside.

Trudy walked up to us and asked, "Back already?"

"Yeah, I guess were still warn out from last night." Fabian lied. Of course Trudy believed him and we headed to his room. Mick and Mara were out training, Jerome and Alfe had detention, and Amber, Patricia, and Joy had a picnic to catch up with each other. So it was just me and Fabian (Trudy and Victor were there to but they don't count).

I was looking out the window when I felt Fabians arms wrap around my waist. I turned around and put my arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Don't we have something to finish?"

He laughed and whispered, "I don't remember. I think you need to remind me."

I smiled and leaned in as our lips touched Mick walked in. "Every time!" I said under my breath. Fabian must have heard me because he started laughing.

"Hey Mick."

"Hi..uhh…was I interrupting something?" he asked embarrassed.

"No." Fabian and I answered at the same time.

"Ok? Well Trudy told me to tell you guys that dinners ready." with that Mick was gone and we were alone again.

"We better go before Amber starts assuming things." I stated breaking the silence.

"Yeah, lets go." Fabian said leaning down and pecking me on the lips.

We left the room and took our seats right next to each other at the table. Joy looked at us and I could tell she was jealous. After dinner everyone was sitting in the common room when Joy walked up to me.

"Hey Nina can I talk to you alone?" she asked pointing towards the hall.

"Sure," I replied getting up and following her into the hall.

"Look, Nina," Joy started, "even though I still have feeling for Fabian and don't like the fact that you two are dating now, I still wanna be friends with you. So if I promise not to get in between your guys' relationship can we still be friends?" I was shocked that she didn't hate me for taking Fabian away from her.

"Of course, I would love to be friends." I said with a smile. She smiled back and went back to the common room.

Fabian came out and asked, "What was that all about?" I told him what Joy told me and he said, "I'm glad you two are friends."

We started to lean in and, once again, we were interrupted. This time by Victor calling out, "How many time must I say the hall is not a place for loitering!"

"Every….time…" I said under my breath. Fabian just chuckled and grabbed my hand, dragging me to his room. When we arrive I said, "Can we ever be alone?"

"We are now." Fabian replied wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled and leaned in when our lips touched Fabian tilted his head deepening the kiss. My hands were tangled in his hair and I felt his tongue trace my bottom lip, asking for entrance. I allowed it and our tongues mingled. After awhile, we separated out of breath. I smiled and laid my head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as he held me in his arms. He kissed the top of my head and asked, "Are we going to call a Sibuna meeting for the Rufus thing?"

I sighed, "I guess we should. But in a little bit, I'm comfortable."

"I bet you are." he said chuckling, "But I think the sooner the better."

"Ugggghhhh, fine." I said lifting my head up.

"Lets go." he said grabbing my hand as we headed toward the common room.

"Guys Sibuna meeting." I said entering the common room. Mick and Mara were in there own little world so they didn't even notice everyone left. We got up to mine and Ambers room for the meeting. Fabian and I sat on my bed. Amber, Joy, and Patricia sat on Ambers bed, and Jerome and Alfe sat on the floor.

"Ok, so what is this all about?" Amber asked.

"Today when Fabian and I went to town," I started, "we were walking and I turned around and saw Rufus. He had been following us. I have no clue where he is now." as I finished I looked around the room only to see five shocked face starring at me.

Patricia was the first to speak, "Do you think he knows he drank the fake elixir?" I didn't think it was possible, but the room became even more silent and full of shock.
