SIYA RAINS-
I sat on the balcony of my hotel room, enjoying the view from the 19th floor. When I woke up Landon was gone, he left a note saying he would be back from his meeting in a few hours. I don't blame him for leaving, my head was spinning a little from the drinks last night, and I can't imagine what he is going through considering he drank a lot more than me.
I woke up around 11 am, missing my tour which started at 6:30 IN THE MORNING! Yeah I was definitely going to miss that anyways. Landon's meeting was at 10 so he left early I am guessing.
As I sipped on my tea, I thought about last night and how I would even begin to deal with a situation like this. I can't let Landon go so that he can figure out on his own that we belong together. Landon is very intelligent when it comes to intellectual and logical things but I think his brain freezes whenever he has to deal with emotional stuff. If I let him go it is just going to cause us pain and no one is going to be happy.
I was finally feeling better after I had a bath and a warm cup of tea with some brunch. Maybe I should just hang around the pool all day and relax. Then have a long chat with Landon and hammer some sense in him. He obviously loves me, I am no fool.
It was a perfect day, then my phone started ringing.
Analia.
Great.
Siya, stay calm.
"Hey Siya, Paul and I-"
"Okay no! I am done, I can't do this anymore. You are the most selfish person on this planet. I clearly don't like it when you talk about Paul, you know I have a case going on against him for assaulting my student and you-"
Good job, genius. My conscious mocked me.
"Woah, what did I do to freak you out-"
"What did you do? What haven't you done? You have possibly crossed every single line with me and I still continue to tolerate you." I scream at my phone.
Yes, I've been suppressing it so much that the rage came bursting out.
"All I said was Paul-"
"Yes, you did. And you should know by now that the name upsets me, I genuinely hate that man. He just likes to push people, it gives him pleasure to see people losing their mind because of him. I am so helplessly angry that I had to leave my country just to get away from your nonsense. But now I am done, I am coming back next week, I want you out of my apartment. You have bullied me throughout my entire childhood still I continued to love and protect you because you are my baby sister. But I can't do this anymore. This isn't healthy for me." I tell her as I finally calm down and stop yelling at her.
There was a moment of silence from the other end.
"I didn't do anything wrong, I just fell in love with Paul." She defends herself childishly.
"No you didn't, and you know in your heart that you don't even like him. People underestimate you, but I know you are smart, you can see when someone is using you. If you want to know what are the things you've done wrong I'll give you a list.
1.You bullied me for my appearance and made sure I knew that you were more attractive than me throughout our childhood and you still do it.
2.You went after Landon when it was obvious that I was in love with him
3.You started dating Paul, a man who I hate and is being charged for assault. Why? Just so you could get some money?
4.You chose him over me.
We have always had our differences but I would never do any of these things to you and you know that. Now think about that and bye. When I come back I don't want to see you in my apartment."
I say and disconnect the phone. I stare at the phone not believing what I just did. I told someone off and not just anyone, I told Analia off. Dad would be so proud of me.
Suddenly I felt very confident. I can do anything I want right now and I should before this confidence wears off. I quickly skipped and jumped inside the room and started getting dressed. I had no idea what I was going to do but I had to see Landon.
I can't stew all afternoon waiting for him to get to the hotel just so we could talk. That would kill me, I'll keep overthinking and I'll end up freaking myself out. I wear a cute little navy blue strappy sundress and pair it up with heels, leaving my brown loose curls open.
I step down, ready to face Landon, I was a bit scared and nervous, still unsure of what to say. As I was walking out of the hotel room someone calls me from behind.
That's George.
I turn around to see him and instantly feel bad that he had to be here and watch me with Landon. It was bad enough because I knew that before he went out with me, he had just broken up with his girlfriend of six years.
"Hey George, before you say anything I'd like to apologize for Landon's behavior. He can be a little crazy sometimes." I apologize as I flash him a smile.
He smiles back, "Its fine, Siya. Landon hates me, for him, I'll always be the guy who was dating the girl he liked."
"Hate is a strong word." I poorly defend Landon.
"He hates me."
"Yes, he does." I give up.
"But I have to thank him, after we stopped seeing each other, Yvette came back around and we started dating, long story short, I am engaged to her." He says with a big smile on his face.
"Oh my god! That's great! I am so happy for you." I exclaim in genuine happiness and surprise, also now I don't feel guilty, "I thought she wasn't ready for commitment."
"I guess, seeing me with someone else made her change her mind." He says, hinting that I might have caused this.
"Wow that's great, wait is she here with you?" I ask, happy about the fact that George wasn't here just as a pawn.
Also I should tell Landon that George is happily engaged, maybe that would soothe his jealousy.
"Yes she is, it's like a pre-honeymoon." He says with the smile not leaving his face. He was really happy.
"Oh that's nice. Enjoy your trip, I'll see you around." I say as I see my cab being pulled out front. George gives me a small hug as we part our ways.
Landon Chambers
"I told Siya, I love her and this is your fault." I say fuming as I call Elizabeth finally when Victoria and grandma refuse to answer my call. I wanted to talk to either grandma or Victoria because Elizabeth was lesser of the other two evils.
"I didn't do anything, I was just following orders, I am her henchman- henchwoman- what is it called? We'll figure it out later." She trails off into a new topic, I roll my eyes but I can't blame her, she is in her last month of pregnancy and she has gone completely "cuckoo", that's what Nathan told me when I asked him how Elizabeth is doing.
"Elizabeth, can you stop this, come on, I thought we had something special." I groan, trying to make her see my point of view. Yes, I know manipulating a pregnant woman was underhanded but I don't really have an option.
"Why are you trying to hide how you truly feel from that one person who actually needs to know your true feelings the most?" She asked me making me think.
"Why should I play with a good woman's heart if I don't know whether I have a future with her or not? I don't want to get married or kids is something I haven't ever thought of. If I am not emotionally stable, how can I bring a child into that equation? I know I won't be able to love her the way she deserves to be loved. You know what many men have broken her heart, I refuse to hurt her." I tell Elizabeth honestly.
"Landon, instead of trying to prevent the pain you 'may' cause her in the future why don't you try to stop the pain you are causing her right now. That woman is madly in love with you. Her face lights up every time she hears your name. If you know what she has been through in her past, don't put her through that again." She tells me, I hate how wise she has become. Whatever she said made a lot of sense but I was too stubborn to acknowledge that.
"I need to think, can you guys promise me that you won't introduce any more surprises on this trip, trust me we've had enough." I tell her truthfully, my head was hammering but I was feeling better after having coffee and some Advil.
"Fine we'll stop but only if you buy the biggest diamond ring and propose to her in a hot air balloon."
"What- No and hot air balloon, really?"
"Yes, they are so nice, but Nathan says I am pregnant so I can't go on them, can you believe your brother?" She huffs like Nathan was being unreasonable.
"Yes."
"You always take his side, I am not talking to you ever again."
"Okay, is it the hormones or were you always this crazy?"
"Honestly, I can't tell anymore."
