Look With Your Heart {a Rierra Fanfic}

Chapter 11

{Ramin}

After taking numerous selfies, Sierra decides to place her cell phone on the shiny white counter top in her dressing room.

"Rehearsal is almost over, so I'm gonna get ready to head out after I get back into the my street clothes. Text me later," Sierra says with her gigantic smile.

"Sure thing, I'll see you later," Ramin replies while waving while walking out of the door.

Once Ramin packs up for the day and heads out of the Adelphi, he realizes he must plan for his date later with Sierra. He has no idea what to do. She had told him no to make it fancy. Ramin struggles to come up with an idea so maybe he should just keep it simple, right? Sierra would be okay with anything.

After finally reaching the hotel room, Ramin suddenly has an idea.

"Hmm, what about a walk through the park with the pond," Ramin says while thinking out loud. Ramin and Sierra had always gone to this park when they originally first performed together. He remembers always hanging out while Sierra said she was connecting with nature. He never really understood what she meant, but he didn't judge.

Since rehearsals ended kind of late with costumes and makeup, it was already 4:34 PM and Ramin remembers that he had planned his date with Sierra for 5 PM. He runs over to grab his phone to text Sierra.

Hey Sie. Are you ready at 5?

She replies pretty quick.

Yes :) Ramin, this date better be casual.

Ramin smiles at Sierra's response and types quickly to respond.

It will be, I promise.

Shortly after Ramin texts Sierra, he needs to get ready. He decides to change out of his works clothes and into a plain gray t-shirt and jeans. Hey, that's casual, right? After that, he walks over to the bathroom mirror to fix his hair. He is horrified at first because it seems like he had just rolled out of bed. Ramin smooths his hair back until it looks semi-normal.

Once Ramin is finished getting ready, he checks the time and the clock reads 4:57. So, he walks out the door and to Sierra's Room.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

Sierra opens the door and grabs Ramin's waist for a hug.

"Hey," she says while her head lays on Ramin's chest.

"Hi," he replies as Sierra pulls back. "I'm ready so we can leave whenever."

"Ok, well follow me then," he replies grabbing Sierra's hand as her fingers intertwine with his.

They both leave the hotel and start walking towards the theater and when they're halfway there, Sierra spots the park.

"Hey, remember this park?" She asks Ramin.

Ramin nods and replies, "Follow me." Ramin leads Sierra to the red Maple tree.

"Aw, Ramin, this is the tree we used to sit under," she says while squeezing his hand tight.

"So, I just thought he could talk and do whatever you want. I know this date will kind of suck, but I didn't know how casual you wanted it," he admits to Sierra, hoping she's okay with this.

"Ramin, I only care that you're here," Sierra says while planting a kiss right on his cheek.

As time passes by, Sierra and Ramin chat about old times and memories that they have shared. Every time Sierra would speak, it would give Ramin warmth. He had never felt this way before but he really likes it. Sierra could make Ramin feel happy no matter what. Since his divorce, Ramin seemed to become anti-social and not as happy as before. But since he's seen Sierra, it was like Ramin was a whole different person, like the person he was before Mandy divorced him.

After talking for an hour or two, the sun starts to set.

"Follow me," Ramin tells Sierra. Ramin stands up and places his hands for Sierra to grab. He takes Sierra to the small pond that is secluded from the rest of the park. The golden sunset fills the sky with pinks, purples, and oranges. These colors are reflected off of the water.

"Wow, this is beautiful," Sierra says while turning to face Ramin. Their faces are only a few inches from each other.

"Yeah, this is definitely the most beautiful view," he says to Sierra. She blushes as she figures out he's talking about her.

Ramin takes his arms to wrap around Sierra's waist. Her waist is pretty small but he pulls her in close to his body. Ramin can feel Sierra's heart beat as she pulls him in closer. Ramin could feel his heart racing, even though he had already kissed Sierra before, it was always different and so special to him. Sierra places a hand on Ramin's cheek as they slowly lean in. Their lips press together slowly and Ramin can still feel his heart beat. But this time, he still can feel Sierra's. Her arms wrap around his neck. In the moment, he feels like the luckiest man on the planet. Sierra then pulls back.

"This is the best date ever," she responds. She takes her hand and ruffles his hair. Ramin has no idea why he enjoys it when Sierra plays with his hair, but he likes it. Then, Sierra slowly leaning back in to continue their kiss.

But this time, the kiss was more passionate. Ramin could feel himself kissing harder and Sierra responds. She grabs his waist to wrap her arms around. Every time Sierra touches him, it makes Ramin never want to let go of her. But suddenly, Ramin feels a rush of coldness and pulls back.

"Ra-Ramin, I'm not feeling well, again," Sierra informs Ramin.

"Just sit down, you'll be fine," he tells her while placing her on his lap, trying to calm her down. He twirls her hair trying to calm her down.

Ramin could feel Sierra grab his hand. For some reason, in this moment of time, Ramin fells like it's super cute that she's grabbing his hand.

"Are you okay?"

"Uh, I think so. I've just been getting dizzy lately."

"Ok, well we should probably go get a quick dinner and then go back to the hotel. Or we can get room service if you would like that."

"I think I would prefer room service, if that's okay."

"Of course it is," Ramin replies. "C'mon let's go back."
