I Will Remember You

Reminiscin

The pair of siblings held onto each other in a tight embrace. Jordan pulled away, taking a moment to look his sister in the eye. Her cheek was in his palm, letting a tear roll down, as her head tilted, relaxing into his hand in to her face.

"It's really you, isn't it?" Olivia nodded silently as Jordan pressed his lips to her forehead.

"Welcome back, sissy"

"Thanks bub," She smiled down at her brother before he pulled her in for another hug.

"Alright, alright, enough tears, can we please celebrate this occasion and get some food and drinks flowin?" Spencer interjected pulling the siblings out of their emotional moment.

"Normally I would disagree with him, but in this case, I'm not cuz, uhhhh, heh! We've got an engagement to enjoy and a wedding to plan!" Kia chirped wiggling her hand in front of them as the diamond ring flashed in their eyesight. Jordan walked over catching her hand, while Spencer walked over to Olivia, enveloping her waist.

"Welp you heard the woman, let's get to celebrating" Both couples were all smiles as they sat down, eating food, an unofficial double date and the drinks kept coming.

"So wait, your tellin me, you guys really had no idea about this?" Spencer and Olivia shook their heads in unison.

"None, we literally found out hours ago, and that was by a frantic phone call and several texts saying, "I have something planned for Kia, I'm really nervous and I need my brother and sister's help!" Olivia mocked her brother's words, taking another sip out from her wine glass as Spencer sat amused by her interpretation.

"I had my reasons for keeping it a secret.... okay, sometimes a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do"

"Okay, I get that but bro, even if you hadn't told anyone, I would think that you'd at least tell me, "Spencer says, his voice low, with slight hurt in his tone.

"Spence, it wasn't like that, I had been planning this for months tho, well before you and I reconnected, and believe me, I went back and forth in my mind on telling you, but it was better this way. Besides, you and I both know you would've told Liv, since you can't keep anything from her these days, and she can't hold water for nothing so, there go, an secret it was and stayed" Jordan speaks firmly as Olivia narrowed her brows in his direction.

"Hol up, I can't keep a secret, is that right? Hmm, let me ask you something Kia, did Jordan ever tell you how he wetted the bed until he was twelve?" Kia and Spencer burst into laughter at this revelation as Jordan looked at his sister with wide eyes.

"Liv!"

"Mmm yeah, didn't think so, next time watch your words brother dearest" Spencer put his hand on her thigh seeing her start to get riled up.

"Alright babe, chill. Seriously, even though I'm kinda pissed at you for not telling me, I'm happy for you bro, foreal. Let me ask you this though, how did you know, that you were ready to take this next step with her?"

"Yeah, that's something I'd like to know too" Kia chimed in, teasing her fiancé. Jordan wiped the sides of his mouth taking another swig of his wine before answering the question.

"I don't know how to really, explain it. It's like when you, you find that person in life, that's right for you and you know their right for you, everything else doesn't really matter, except for the thing that holds and keeps you together, which is them, and Kia was that for me. I can be myself around her, she challenges me, loves me for me, and I'd be a fool to lose that or run from that. I've only had one other woman in my life, that makes me feel the way she does, and even then, it doesn't compare. When you know, you know, it doesn't get much simpler than that" Jordan looked over seeing Kia staring hard as she intertwined their hands together. Spencer and Olivia nodded in agreement, peering over at each other with the same looks. They smiled at each other at the same time not caring that Jordan and Kia were on the edge of making out. In the back of their minds, they equally thought about everything they had been through and what it took to get them at the place they're at today. Heartbreaking breakup in college, five years apart, a secret child, car accident, not to mention the baby they had on the way. Olivia's eyes welled up looking at how happy her brother and best friend was. Spencer took her hand in his.
