SIYA RAINS-
I took five long minutes, fixed my appearance and walked downstairs. It was difficult to look at Landon after what had happened upstairs. In my childhood home, I can't believe that I let that happen, I was supposed to confront him about his reason for being here, but I didn't get a clear answer there.
As I sat down on my seat and my parents served the dinner, I felt two pair of eyes on me, one was Landon and the other one was Rebecca. She knew exactly what had happened, because of which I couldn't look at her either. I just want this evening to get over soon, and yes, I'd like to go home with Landon and have sex. I was beyond turned on after our little incident upstairs.
"So sweetie, how is your work?" Dad asks me breaking the conversation or should I say the forced conversation Analia was trying to have with Landon.
"It's all good, I have a great batch of students this year, all of them are so eager to learn and –"I started but I was cut off by Analia.
"Yawn, dad listen to my thing." She said but my dad shot her an angry look making her shut her mouth.
I felt bad for her, all she wanted was attention. Attention from my dad, but because as a child I was the quiet, shy and anxious one, he had a soft spot for me. He never gave Analia the attention she craved which probably turned her into this person, who didn't like me because I was dad's favourite.
Analia was my mom's favourite and Rebecca was loved by everyone.
"Its fine dad, what were you saying Analia?" I say with a smile and she looks at dad who just nods. He obviously did not like Analia calling my talk "yawn" but he gave in as we had a guest over.
"I am actually going to pursue a career in fashion, so I was thinking of moving out and staying with Siya for a while." Analia stated and my eyes widened. I knew why she wanted to move in with me, to get closer to Landon. I could see Rebecca shaking her head at me, asking me to turn Analia down, but I couldn't, she is my sister.
"Sure, why not!" I say again with a smile, but now it's getting harder to fake a smile again and again. I lived with Analia throughout my childhood which was hell for me, because she tried to compete with me and I hated competitions. But I don't have a right over Landon, I don't own him.
"Oh my god! That is so sweet of you." She exclaims as she flashes me one of her beautiful smiles.
"So landon are you dating someone?" My mom asks as she pats Analia's back and I groan internally. She told mom and now mom is trying to set them up. My face visibly falls as my dad quickly looks at me but I shake my head to tell him that I am alright.
"Yes actually I am, I don't like talking much about her or my personal life, but we met a few months ago and I guess I like her." My head whooped in his direction as soon as I heard those words, I wasn't stupid, I knew that he was talking about me. But I wasn't sure if it was genuine or he said it just to get Analia off his back.
I saw my mom and Analia's face simultaneously fall while my dad just nodded. We all ate in silence after that with little anecdotes about our dad here and there as it was his birthday. But other than that there was thankfully no drama, giving Alicia the cue to pop the question.
As we all finished the dinner and moved to the living room with a glass of wine, Landon sat down right next to me on the couch. I shifted a little, feeling shame as the images of us doing inappropriate things flashed in my head.
Before anyone could speak, Alicia stood up, "Rebecca, I know you love your family more than anything in the world which is why I want to do this in front of them. I've known you since college even though we just started dating a year ago. You were the popular girl in my college, everyone was crazy about you, and I was one of them. Never in my life did I imagine that I would actually end up dating you. My family did not accept me, but your family did, they made me feel loved and accepted. You always say I am the one that saved you but in actuality you are the sole and the only reason behind my happiness."
She held out her hand and Rebecca quickly took it before standing up, I could see Rebecca's hands shaking as she stood there and Alicia went down on one knee making everyone gasp in awe. I held my hand to my chest as I took in the beautiful moment.
"And as cliché as it might sound, will you make me the happiest person on the earth by marrying me?" Tears streamed down Rebecca's eyes as she nodded probably too emotional to say anything as they kissed and hugged each other.
Landon and I exchanged looks involuntarily as everyone congratulated the newly engaged couple, they looked so happy and in love, there was not a moment of hesitation between the two, they were so sure of their love.
I want that!

It was weird, usually when I see proposals, I just find them sappy but today I could relate to the emotions that were being celebrated around me. As a child who was exposed to violence, I couldn't really relate to any emotions as they all felt fake but Alicia stuttering as she professed her love, Rebecca crying and her hands shaking as she said yes was something I could understand today.
I usually didn't like it, but today it didn't seem ridiculous.
I walked towards their balcony and stood there, Siya was trying to avoid me. She was probably embarrassed after what I did to her upstairs but in my defense I lose control around her. How am I supposed to resist her when she walks around me with that beautiful innocent face while her eyes still reminded me of the things she let me do to her body.
Finally, Siya left to help her sisters clean up, leaving me alone so I went to the balcony, I just leaned on the railing trying to clear my head. Siya was different, when she asked me the reason behind my presence over here, I didn't know what to say. I never ever met any girl's parents. That was a strict no-no for me because as soon as you meet the parents, you know things are bound to get serious.
But with Siya, I agreed as soon as Analia invited me, I didn't even give myself a second to think about it.
"Hey Landon?" I look behind to see Analia, I wanted to ask her to leave me alone, but she is Siya's sister and I can't be rude to her.
"Hi" I grunt but she smiles at me for responding.
"So this girl you are dating? Is it serious?" She asks as I feel her hand on my chest drawing patterns. Yes, she was very beautiful but frankly I didn't feel any attraction towards her. Even if Siya was not in the picture, I wouldn't go out with her.
"Yes, it is." I grunt again, not wanting to have a long conversation with her but I hear a cough and we both turn our heads behind to see Wyatt. I quickly move away and remove Analia's hand on my chest as Siya's dad asks Analia to leave us alone for a minute.
"So what are your intentions with my daughter?" He asks as soon as Analia leaves, and I just shake my head firmly.
"Nothing, really nothing. Analia is-" He cuts me off before I could explain the entire situation.
"I am talking about Siya, I am not blind. I know something is going on between you two." My eyes widen as his words sink in. He was talking about Siya.
"Yes- actually we haven't discussed anything yet." I state which was not completely a lie.
"Son, I like you, you are the first guy that Siya has brought home, who didn't try to show off his wealth or seem like a big shot. You are very genuine, so I say this out of love, I've always been overprotective about Siya. As you may know she is a bit naïve, she will believe in people and she is always trying to help out others without any motive. She is a pure and kind soul." He says and I nod my head in agreement. He was right, I would be lying if those weren't the things that attracted me to her.
She was trying to help Jimmy with his case, me with my past without any expectations. She could have just easily continued with her life but she didn't.
"Yes Wyatt, I am aware, those are actually my favourite things about her." I confess, it felt weird talking to her dad about my feelings. I've actually never said these things out loud to anyone. I always tried to tell my family that it was a physical thing with Siya, but they could see right through that lie.
"Which is why, I want you to leave her alone, if your intentions are anything other than marrying her. She is not someone you can just play around with." He says in a serious voice making me nod my head immediately as I knew what he meant.
Siya was the kind of girl you marry. But I don't know if I can give her that which is why I backed away from her so many times. Anyways the attraction was palpable, we could not resist each other.
"So think about it, if you break it off now, it would hurt her less and I can see that you actually care about her. I love all my daughters equally but I have seen Siya get heartbroken several times when stupid boys chose Analia over her. I was happy to see you how committed you are to Siya. So if you actually like her, I would be the happiest father because I know you'll treat her the way she deserves to be treated. You will protect her the way I've been protecting her for years."
"Siya doesn't need anyone to protect her. People underestimate her, she knows how to fight back just well as she helps out others." I say and he just smiles at me knowingly before leaving me alone.
