AMOUR

Chapter 50.

ROYA

I wake up to see it's still night time. Remembering that I dozed off in the car, I look around and smile at the scene. I can only see Denver since I'm wrapped in Jordan's arms. He was his mouth slightly open and his hand over mine. His legs are tanged with mine as usual and the moonlight gives him this soft look.

He's beautiful.

I close my eyes again, drifting off to the touch of both of them.

When I wake up, I realize it's still early and head downstairs after moving Denver and Jordan and freshening up. Just like yesterday, I hear Mom and Dave talking and slow my steps so they don't hear me coming this time.

"-weren't there," I manage to hear Dave finishing his sentence.

"I know what you have with your own parents is different but you should know, now that you are part of this group, you have 4 more sets of parents to always call for when needed," Mom's honey like voice replied and I can sense the warmth in it.

I smile at her words.

"Thank you Rianna, that really means a lot to us," Dave replies and I decide I can enter now. So with heavy steps, I get down the remaining stairs and join them on the kitchen island.

"You're up early," I tell Dave, since it's just 8 am. I don't know today's plan yet but if I wasn't informed that means it isn't time bound.

"Yeah, I need to go to Dad's office today," Dave gives me a smile but it doesn't reach his eyes.

"Oh," I say as mom hands me a cup of coffee.

"I'll leave you kids for now, me and the girls are going to the farmer's market to get grocery for tonight's dinner. Don't be late and dress nice," Mom says while leaving with her cup of coffee still in hand. I'm pretty sure half of our kitchenware is next door and half of their stuff is here.

"Why don't you do something about this?" I ask Dave once I hear the main door shut.

"About what?" He sips his drink.

"I know none of you like working for your Dad, so why?" I ask, frowning.

He sighs, placing his cup on the counter, "because we are all they have," he says.

"And they are our parents," he continues before I can say anything, "even if they weren't there, they were in their own way and I can't say no to them because I just can't. Maybe one day, but not today," he says and I know there's no room for argument. He won't budge.

We hear footsteps and turn to see Ian heading downstairs. He looks calm, but his eyes are angry and they are looking right at me.

Wait, what did I do?

"Man, you're up, I had to tell you that I won't be joining in on the drive to-"

"We're not going," Ian cuts Dave off rudely who frowns at the cold voice.

"Roya, come with me," Ian motions to the backyard and heads towards it as I get up, looking back at Dave for help who just sits there, confused.

I step out and see Ian pacing in front of the pool.

"What's wrong?" I ask him, his behavior is concerning me now. Ian has always been soft with me. He's angry now and I don't know why.

Ian chuckles at my question and I still. My body tenses at his dark sound. Like he cannot believe I asked him this.

"What's wrong? You're asking me what's wrong?" Ian chuckles again, I swallow and no words come out of my mouth.

"Did I- Did I do something?" I manage to choke out.
