29. Problem? << . Riley . >> “Hey Philip!” I greet him as I hop into the car. “Hello Riley… How was your day?” “Oh, it was awesome… I went out for movies with friends. Didn’t want to go for work today.” I whine. He chuckles as he starts the car. “Yes, working on Sundays is the hardest.” “Well, I have got some work to catch up on. But why are you working on a Sunday?”

Reiner asked in a low voice as his eyes searched mine as if he could find the answers that he was looking for in the depth of my eyes. “You called me? Sorry that I missed your calls,” I said, sounding apologetic. “Why didn’t you call me back?” he demanded to know. Because I didn’t want to talk to you? “I guess it just slipped my mind. Also, it was a Sunday, and I don’t work for you on Sundays. It was work related, right? You know, the thing you wanted to talk to me about,” I replied, trying to sound as normal as I could.

“I was working.” “It’s Sunday,” Saber replied. “So?” “We don’t work on Sundays.” “We’ve always worked every day,” Gomez replied. “Not anymore. Not now that we have Elle to spend time with. She needs time with us and we need time with her.” He made a good point.

Mikayla slowly patted her back. "What's wrong? You wanna talk about it?" "Nothing. I just miss home." She sniffled. Mikayla smiled sadly, "I understand you, Girl. I felt the same when I started working here. Even after being here for two years, I still miss my family. It's normal, you will always miss your home." "But isn't your break around the corner?" "I almost forgot about the break." She whispered. The staff of the Martin don't work on Sundays in the mansion and they work half day on Saturdays to sort their needs. They also get the weekend off once in two months."

The next day was a Sunday, which was perfect for Becca’s plans because Ryan never went anywhere on Sundays, preferring to remain indoors and rest. Before all these, Becca loved Sundays best among all the days of the week because she got to spend most of the mornings cuddled in Ryan’s arms and then they lazed about all day doing, swimming or sunning or any other activity that picked their fancies. However, today was not the day to dwell on all of that. Today, she was going for a battle, and she must win it no matter the cost.

Should I try again using my power? I look at the clock and notice it's already 8 am. It's Sunday today, and I suddenly remember that Lucas told me last Monday that he has a business trip this week and can't come home temporarily. I miss him, and I want to see him again. But, unfortunately, I'm just stuck with Arthur for the whole week. I really miss Lucas, and then it suddenly appears in my mind that he called me. I remember last Monday he gives me a call, and I was so frustrated.

he asked. "Yes of course, when will be okay with you?", I asked. "Any day is okay for me,how about Wednesday Friday and Sunday?", he asked. "Oh no I can't do Sundays, I play video games with my friend Ethan, it's like a ritual, I can't miss a day", I said. He nodded. "Okay how about Tuesday?", he asked. I nodded, "Yes thats fine", I said. "Alright then, and thank you so much for today, I honestly owe you a lot", he said leaving my room as I walked him downstairs.

Sill not thinking about that. I finish cleaning up the kitchen and putting things away. The hot case is empty and clean now, ready for the morning. They have a different crew in on Saturday so I'm off. They are closed Sundays for church and family time. Everyone needs to rest sometime. I pop in to see Mrs. Rodriquez on the way out and tell her I would see her on Monday morning...#adulting

I bid her goodbye as I stand, ready to take my own leave as well. I lock the office, checking and making sure nobody else is staying in tonight and when I'm satisfied, I nod to myself and lock the main doors for the night and next day, Sundays are off days for us all because we truly and deeply need it after our heated week of working around the clock, nonstop. “Emily, wait-” I freeze in my steps, mentally cursing myself for not checking my surrounds but also because somewhere deep within, I knew this would happen. I knew he would wait around for me.

Liam repeated. "I'm fine, it was just a nightmare." She explained. "Must have been one hell of a nightmare." Liam replied. "You have no idea. Just hold me until I fall back asleep." She replied. "Ok." He agreed. "Oh don't forget, we're getting together Sunday instead of Saturday this time." Rayna reminded him. "I remembered." Liam confirmed. Everyone is in Rayna and Liam's living room. They are all drinking except Madison and Mia. Everyone was laughing and having a good time. The relief that things worked out was tremendous. There was so much to celebrate.
