Scarlett POV
                          
"Oh it feels like a cloud!" I say happily as I take the dough out fork the bowl and place it on the table.
                          
"I s-still like Victoria okay!? There's nothing between us and Scarlett" I stopped everything I was doing as I hear Asher's words rip through the house. 
                          
"What?" I breathe and quickly slap my hand over my mouth as I hear his footsteps coming down the stairs. 
                          
"Dammit!" He says loudly which made me be flinch a little. "Fuck" He groans.
                          
I slowly put my hand away from my mouth and turn around to see if he was behind me. He wasn't and I'm guessing his sitting in the living room. 
                          
I turn back around to read the next step of the bread making. 
                          
"Shoot" I flinch again by his loud voice.
                          
Why does my my heart ache? Why does it have to ache? I like Asher, I get it already! But I already know he still likes Victoria and-
                          
"Hey" His voice startles me once again and I turn around. "Uhh sorry, was I too loud?" He rubs the back of his head.
                          
"You are quite loud" I give a short smile. 
                          
"Oh sorry, just forget whatever I said"
                          
"Oh which part?" I ask.
                          
"Uh? When I shouted? " he looks at me confused.
                          
"Oh so, not the part with- Uh never mind, it's alright" I give a full smile. "Maybe have some tea? Will that help you calm down?" 
                          
"Oh, no I'm alright. I just um" He gulps his saliva. "I need to be alone for awhile" 
                          
"Oh yeah sure, I won't disturb you" I awkwardly turn back around and continue to read the recipe book. However, for some reason it was so hard to concentrate on this. It was like  I was deep in thought even though I'm not thinking of anything. Just probably the same words Asher said earlier and it's repeating in my head on its own. 
                          
I shake my head vigorously and slap cheeks a few times before concentrating back on what I was doing. 
                          
??? POV (Eli)
                          
"No I swear, she looks so much like her and I can't stop thinking about it" I put my hands in my hair and mess it around. 
                          
"Alright, we can put that on the list but right now, let's hear what the others has to say" Sir John says. "Tell us will you?" He turns to the others.
                          
"Yes sir." One of them said. " We have done a full search of the whole town but the princess is still yet to be found"
                          
"Alright. How about the other team?" Sir John asks impatiently.
                          
"Team B will be reporting sir" I look up to see Steven speaking. 
                          
"Yes hurry say it " Sir John groans
                          
"Team B has searched the villages but she is not found yet" Steven says. "However, a solider claims where he last saw her."
                          
"Oh interesting. Bring me to him" sir John raises his eyebrows and stands up.
                          
"Who?" I ask, curious.
                          
Scarlett's POV
                          
"All done!" I say happily
                          
"Wow it smells really good" Theo looks over my shoulder.
                          
"Oh!" I step back hitting my back against his chest. "Sorry, you scared me" I put my hand on my heart and quickly move out of the way. 
                          
"Sorry, are you alright?" he looks at my feet and tries to examine if I'm hurt anywhere.
                          
I got self-conscious and quickly wave my hands in front of his face. "No no! I'm fine"
