Chapter. 29

Vincent awoke to the sound of chirping bird. He groaned and raised his hand to his face. "What a dream." With his senses returning to him Vincent left a weight on him, he turns to see Rebecca holding on to him as she slept. "When did she get in here?" Vincent raised his hand to softly shake her. "Hey, come on. Time to get up Reby." Vincent gently shook Rebecca.

Rebecca opened her eyes and pushed herself up. She cleared her vision and saw Vincent next to her. "V?"

Vincent leaned forward and kissed Rebecca. "Sleep well?"

Rebecca nodded and smiled brightly. "Yes, thank you." Rebecca looked around the room. "So, what happens now?"

"We do what already do, just as a couple. Whatever comes natural."

"That simple?"

"That simple."

Rebecca relaxed and nods. "I thought relationships were hard?"

"Not all, some are very easy. The best kind." Vincent kissed Rebecca's cheek then threw off the sheets and climbed out of bed. "Come on, let's get changed, cleaned up then get breakfast." Rebecca jumps out of bed and picked up her bag and went to the bathroom while Vincent did the same in the room.

The couple walked out into the kitchen to Vincent's family moving about to make breakfast. Elizabeth heard the two enter and turned to greet them. "Hey it's the new lovebirds!"

Vincent took a seat at the table. "What's on the menu today Mom?"

"Eggs, bacon, and toast with yogurt."

"Yum, yum." Vincent turned on his linker find more massages from Catherine then turned it off.

Rebecca watched him as she poured a glass of milk and joined Vincent at the table. "Anything new?"

"Nothing important." Vincent patted Rebecca's arm as the parents brought the food to the table. The family ate and cleaned up then everyone got fully dressed and went outside.

The family walked down the road and headed into town to see the shops. Everyone broke off to wonder about for while. Vincent spotted a shop several small glass figures, looking around he saw a dagger made of glass. Vincent almost picked it up until he saw the price tag and backed away.

Looking around Vincent found a display case with glass roses, he picked one up and went to pay for it before finding Rebecca walking out of a leather works store. "Hey Reby." Vincent handed the glass rose to her. "A prism rose for my prism rose."

"Thank you." Rebecca held the flower, peering into its refection. "This is me..."

"Colorless, but can take on any color. Empty, but has limitless potential." Vincent rubbed Rebecca's arm.

"I got you something too." Rebecca held out a pair of purple tinted leather bracers.

"Oh wow, thank you Reby." Vincent put the bracers on his arms. "How's it look?"

"Very nice, they suit you."

Vincent leaned forward to kiss her. "Thank you, it keeps you close."

"I want to protect you. Just like you keep protecting me." Vincent wraps his arms round Rebecca as she closed her eyes, feeling safe where so was.

"Hey! Vince!" The couple broke apart at Elizabeth's call. "Time to check out the next shop!"

"Shall we?" Vincent placed his hand on his hip. Rebecca nodded and held onto Vincent as they left the store.

...

The family returned to the house make sure its clean and to pack their belonging to go home. Once all traces of their presents was gone they loaded up into the car and drove back into the city, the mother kept glancing into the rear view mirror to see Vincent and Rebecca fast asleep on each other. When they arrived home the father pulled into the driveway while Elizabeth shoved Vincent. "Rise and shine Bro. We're here"

Vincent woke up, causing Rebecca to wake up as well. He reached for the door and opened it, allowing Rebecca to get out. Vincent stepped out and stretched. "Good to be home. That was a fun trip."

"Yes it was, thank you V." Said Rebecca.

"Anytime Reby."

Rebecca waved her finger to see the time. "I should be going home now."

Vincent's mother shook her head. "You don't have to leave love. You can spent the night here, Vincent can take you home after school on Monday. That is if you have the clothes for it."

Rebecca looked down to her bag. "I can go another day."

"Then its settled. You can stay in Elizabeth's room."

Everyone went into the house. Vincent turned on his linker to find countless messages and missed calls from Catherine, Jade, Lyle, and Corina. "I'll talk to them on Monday." Vincent shut off his linker again.

...

That night Vincent tossed about in his bed as his mind was racing with thoughts of Rebecca, keeping him from falling a sleep. Anytime he thought he was about to sleep he glanced to the bracers o his desk and his mind was sent in a whirlwind. He checked the time to see it was past eleven then rolled over. He heard his door open then closed quietly. He heard foot steps draw closer till they stopped at the side of his bed.

"V?" Rebecca lightly patted his pillow. "Are you asleep?"

Vincent reached out from under his blanket and grabbed Rebecca's arm, pulling her into him. Rebecca lost her balance and her torso falls on top of him. Vincent held her close, Rebecca's face inches away from his and her hair tickling him as it fell around her face. Vincent pushes up to kiss her cheek. "Can't sleep?"

Before Rebecca could answer Vincent released Rebecca and threw the blanket up to cover them then held onto Rebecca. "Better?"

Rebecca rested her head on Vincent's shoulder. "Better."

"Good." Vincent ran his fingers through her hair as she drifted off to sleep before he did so as well.
