Siya Rains

I hate Landon! I've never seen a guy be so indecisive about what he wants. After our little freak show in my old childhood bedroom and then downstairs during the dinner when he kept eying me like a piece of meat. He had the nerve to drop me at my place, give me a kiss on my cheek and just leave!

That bastard! I was so mad at him.

The one time I planned on not resisting his dark charm, he pulls out this stunt. He called me a few times and we talked about the case and our day but that's it. No dirty remarks. Nothing! It was annoying. Landon wasn't being himself. I hate it when he does this.

I was sexually and emotionally frustrated. I couldn't concentrate on anything and it's not like I can date anyone else either because it wouldn't be fair. I would keep thinking about Landon. I don't understand, what does he want me to do? Beg? Ha-ha.

I never beg. Even if my nose is blocked, I breathe from my mouth.

As I kept muttering to myself out of frustration and annoyance, my bell rang. I looked at the clock and it was 2 pm. On a Saturday. Who could that possibly be? If it's Landon, I am going to slam the door in his face. I am angry and I don't care anymore.

I open the door, ready to slam it shut but my eyes meet a beautiful old woman with a radiant smile. I awkwardly smile back as she just enters my house without permission like Landon does.

"I am Landon's Grandma. You can call me Mary."

Okay, that makes sense.

She spoke in a sweet manner but she had a powerful tone making me nod my head immediately in agreement. I motioned her to sit and asked if I could get her anything to drink but she just shakes her head.

I quickly close the door and sit in front of her. I felt like a student who has been called in the principal's office, "So what's going on with you and my grandson? I've heard quite a few things about you from Tori and Beth. Good things."

"Um thank you, but I don't honestly know what's going on." I stutter as I tell her frankly. It wasn't my fault, Landon was at fault but I can't tell her that.

"Come on sweetheart, tell me what's going on in your mind. It looks like you have a lot on it right now. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." She says as she gets up from her seat and sits right next to me.

I knew what she was doing, she was manipulating me into telling her stuff and sadly it was working, "Everything was going well, but then Landon just goes cold. Every time we get a little close, he just backs off. I didn't want to date him because I didn't want to be with a guy with whom I may not have a future. Still against my better judgement I gave in. Now I don't know what to do."

"Siya, my grandson had been through a lot." She says and I just nod, making her eyes go wide just for a second, "And he told you about what happened to him?" She asked and I just nodded.

"He likes you and could possibly be falling in love with you right now. And you know how a human mind works, he doesn't want to drag you into his mess. But believe me, he is not a mess, he is one of the best men I know because I've raised him. So please don't give up on him ever. I never interfered with any of Landon's girlfriends but I know you two are meant to be." She says and I could see it was an emotional topic for her but she didn't cry.

She just looked at me with a slight desperation making me feel bad for being angry at Landon. I did not consider this as the reason for which he was giving me the cold shoulder. I should have been more understanding.

"You are right Mary, I won't give up on him. That's the last thing he needs in his life. It's sweet that you came down here to look out for your grandson." I say as I smile a little. Landon has a great family support, including his brothers and his sisters-in-law, I just love this entire dynamic.
