PART 4 : dinner date

A/N: So I changed Sienna's character to be Amanda Seyfried and I realise she's kind of a good bit older than she is in the story so just imagine she looks like how she did in Mamma Mia! and that she's actually that age too.

Sienna's P.O.V

The dreaded day had come, it was only eight in the morning but I already felt pressured to get up and get myself ready for my dinner date with my mother.

I decided to get up and have a quick shower so that I would feel a bit fresher. But as I was heading to the bathroom I heard splashing sounds, and someone singing on the other side of the door.

Ryan was in the shower, which was the usual for him, he always showered before he left, at nine every morning. I think he went to the gym, and then came back and showered again. Which was pretty strange. Then at twelve he went off to work, he worked with his father at his company, I didn't know what kind of company it was or what he did there, but he didn't come home until late at night. But he usually went out with friends after work and then came home.

I had his timetable learned off so well, and I was barely here a week. But this morning I had completely forgotten he showers at eight every morning. And I usually made a mental note to wait until I heard his bedroom door close before I headed out from mine.

As I came back down to earth, I realised both the water and the singing had stopped. And Ryan was about to come out of the bathroom, it'd be so weird if he just saw me standing there, not to mention awkward as hell. So I dashed out to the kitchen, and sat in one of the barstools and pretended that I had been there for a while.

I heard him open the door, and I couldn't help but look up.

"Morning." He said nonchalantly, not bothered by my being there even a little.

I had suddenly become aware of how much I was staring. "Oh....hi." I managed to get out, and I knew my face had gone as red as a tomato.

He just nodded and headed off to his room, still dripping wet, even though he had a towel, and I just sat like a confused dog wondering why, staring at his bedroom door.

After a while I got up, grabbed a towel, and got into the shower myself. It was nice to have the hot water and steam around me, it calmed me down and helped me prepare for the hard day ahead.

Ryan had left by the time I made it out of the bathroom, but he had left his gym bag in the hall, so clearly that wasn't where he was headed, which was unusual. But then again I had been living here less than a week, there was no usual or unusual for the two of us yet. We were still pretty much strangers. Most of the time I was asleep when he got home in the evening and asleep when he left in the morning. I spent the day unpacking things and shopping for anything I needed. My boss had given me a generous bonus with my last paycheck and so that's what I was using to buy things. Not my mother's money. Only for emergencies. I had actually donated 100 dollars of it to feed the homeless, just because I wanted to get rid of some of it and it seemed like a nice thing to use it for.

I decided today that I would try and hang some photos and finish off my room so that it felt more personal, since right now it was just filled with essential things.

I hung some photos of myself and Paige. Some of my family too and one of a beach, which was a canvas I had bought on holidays a few years ago. I just thought it was so very pretty and I had to get it.

After I had finished decorating it was almost two in the afternoon, so I decided it was time to get ready, since my mother would be around at five to have a look around the place and we had reservations for six.
