"She is my girlfriend, Regina..."
"Your what??"
Regina screeched, looking back at both of them.
Alister was about to deny it but Ryan moved closer to her and drew her into him by wrapping his arm around her waist and giving a gentle squeeze to her bum, daring her to deny it.
"My girlfriend. You heard me in the first time, sister."
Ryan smirked, watching the colour on his sister face change altogether, enjoying it a lot.
He had never managed to surprise his sister like that and he was glad he was being able to do that now.
"No, I bet I heard it wrong, brother. Are you sick??"
Alister asked, walking closer, raising her hand up to check her brother's temperature if he was alright.
Ryan slapped his sister's hand away, walking backwards and then narrowing his eyes at her.
"The hell!!! Are you fucking crazy?? I alright..."
Ryan said. Regina only hissed at him for rejecting her touch like that.
From all of these scenarios folding out before Alister's eyes, she could tell that both the brother and sister had some kind of bad blood between them but at the same time seemed close to.
It was just too confusing at this point. The Cardoso family had been nothing but a mixture of confusion and chaos to her.
"Oh well if it were not for me being crazy, I would not say rubbish like you are saying right now..."
Regina counter backed, glaring at Ryan. He only shrugged her response away.
"You are overreacting sister. You just can't get yourself up to believe that I m a changed man...that I can change my way."
"Oh damn for Christ sake, you don't think I would fall for that?? Do you?? I know you way better than anyone here, Ryan Del Cardoso and the truth is that you can't never ever change even after you die and rot in hell..."
Regina spat every word out with enormous venom embedded in them making Ryan ohed at his sister's description about him.
"You have got a good insight for me, sister."
"That I do because I know you."
Regina stepped in right away, folding her hands on her chest, showing her sass.
"I bet you told her you are a changing man...that he could change..."
Regina turned to look at Alister, who was silently observing everything that was going on, not daring to step in between.
"....he can't go an hour without changing the cunt he had shoved his wee dick into..."
Alister scrunched her nose, getting shocked at the use of the words...she had never heard such a vulgar description ever in her life of a sister to her brother.
"Damn..damn...stop that potty mouth of yours."
Ryan spoke up. He knew that there was no way Regina would back down until he gave her a reason.
She was never the one to believe anything without a valid reason and logic in it.
She was very much like the carbon copy of their grandfather. It was obvious she would keep pressing him until he did so.
"Oh, common tell me if that is not true...what I described you as. "
Regina laughed, raising her eyebrows at her brother mockingly.
"Plus for everything you do...there is an always a reason behind it. So common go on...spill it, Ryan."
Regina said, tapping away on her feet, making a stretching noise on the floor with her heels because Ryan hated that sound more than anything else.
"Common brother.....spill it for fucks sake."
Regina muttered, looking confident in her pose, smirking away at both Alister and Ryan.
"Fine...you want to know why??? Then so be it..."
Ryan gave in. He looked at both Regina and Alister before saying it out loud, dropping another bomb on both the ladies in the room.
"...because I love her, goddamnit."
There was a silence right after. Nobody spoke for like a few second time. As both, the ladies were trying to process whatever they just heard.
"What did you just say??"
Regina implored, breaking the silence of the room. Ryan knew it was going to be hard making his bloody sister understand.
"I love her, Regina. I know that it sounds ridiculous to you..."
Ryan was not even able to complete whatever he was going to say as Regina interrupted it by laughing out loud as if she heard the most hilarious joke of the year.
"Yeah right??? You expect me to believe that...you fell for a low life just like our asshole father did??"
"She is anything but low life, Regina. She fucking saved my life."
Ryan spoke out right away, defending Alister and that made her look at him softly.
"You know what...I get it now..."
Regina nodded her head in positive. Ryan could not be more happier about this...finally!!! He thought.
"I mean keep playing with your new prey...why do so care..."
Regina said, turning her back on them to get out of there, tired of her brother's bullshit.
"Oh and clean up your own damn mess..."
"Yeah I will..."
Ryan yelled back at his sister who did the same, thrashing the door behind her in a loud sound.
"Why did you just lie to her??"
"Why would you lie to your own sister?? I was keeping quiet only because I did not want to intrude but you are such a fucking lier..."
Alister let out right after Regina was out and Ryan turned to look at her.
Great!!! One headache walked out, time to deal with the next...he thought to himself.
"Oh, you did not know, love?? Lying is one of my best quality than anything..."
He said smugly, folding his hands, looking charmingly at her causing Alister to be annoyed so damn much at him.
"You do not love me.."
"You do. That will be enough."
Ryan opposed her view gracefully in seconds.
"No. I do not..."
"Oh yeah, you do..."
He smiled at her.
"How can you lie about me being your girlfriend??...you didn't even ask me out for god's sake..."
"So you want me to ask you out?"
Ryan proposed making her wanting to stomp her feet on the ground like a child.
