.Something Discovered.

"Pacifica dear, are you alright? You haven't finished your mashed potatoes." My mother would ask, using her hand to fan and cool off her worried face. Father had the same expression, placing down his fork.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking." I would tell them every time, still not used to them being so...caring. The nights were sleepless. For hours, I would lay awake tossing and turning trying to get at least 2 hours of shut-eye.

Results were always the same, gazing from the overhang holding a late night cup of coffee and watching the sunrise with baggy eyes.

Another sleepless night for the what, second time maybe? Getting out of bed I head down the flight of stairs. Turning the left corner, past the assistant quarters was the kitchen; white marble countertops were left clean and empty. I pulled the handle in the large fridge, a bright almost blinding light glowed in the dark room.

"Pacifica? Why are you up at a time like this?" A voice, belonging to Constantino, called from the darkness.

"Oh, it's just you. I've been having sleep troubles."

"You're worried about that brunette, the one from 2 days ago, right?" He sat down on one of the stools, crossing his arms and placing them on the table. I stood stumped, still clutching the refrigerator's handle, overhearing his chuckle made me look at him.

"How do I know? I've babysat you when you turned *siete. It's very easy for me to know what's on your mind."

(*Siete: Seven)

My back was toward the butler, he couldn't see it. I felt the familiar heat rush to my cheeks. He probably knows me like the back of his palm. Coffee creamer poured out from the bottle, the machine beside my mug heated the water inside.

Whilst the coffee began to boil, I pulled a chair across from Constantino, awaiting for me to settle down in my seat. "Forgive me for sounding old school, but I was exactly like you with my old friend." His phone, now in his hands, lit up and revealed a guy on the screen.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"My boyfriend. He disappeared while we were kids, turns out he went on a road trip but at the time, I didn't know." He tossed his vest over his shoulder, walking over to ruffle my already messing hair.

"When he came back, I ran towards him like *mi vida depended on it. Pouring my heart out to him, thinking it might've been the last time I'd see him. From that moment on, he never left my side, and *ha sido mi novio desde ese día."

(*Mi vida: My life.)
(*Ha sido mi novio desde ese día: He's been my boyfriend since that day.)

My mind blurted out a question. "How did you not fear...rejection?" Constantino stopped just outside of the mansion's doorway, laughing quietly while giving me a warm gaze.

"There's no need to fear, Elise. Eyes speak a thousand words, pay close attention, and you'll see her pour out her heart for you."
