Chris's pov
Seeing the life Channing has at the age of twenty four is something I think I want now. The stability ,family structured is what I'm jealous of. My lifestyle is getting old and doesn't have the same enjoyment that it had years ago. From the moment I graduate college until it's been the same shit. Well in between those times Eliza was in the picture and that was as toxic as it gets. There was nothing healthy for either of us. I didn't trust after she cheated but I did take her back and I cheated multiple times after.
We both wasn't shit in our relationship.
The little paranoid part of me kept thinking she was cheating every time she was went out with her friends. A relationship without trust will fail and ours did. I think we would've been able to work it out if my family saw the few good qualities that I saw. Trust me ,Eliza has many flaws that takes patience to deal with and my family didn't want to rightfully so. I respected everyone opinions but I also didn't let their opinions be the reason she and I aren't together. I did have this false hope we could work it out because I knew I would want a family at some point in my life. Realizing Liza and I had nothing to fight for was a horrible awaken for me. But I'm happy I realized that before we gotten that far. Channing is giving Ryan the same love our pop gave us. Ryan makes me tired just looking at him but that's something I want in my life now.
It's the night before their wedding ,everyone is getting ready for dinner that will be in a barn. I'm assuming it goes with the theme of their wedding. I don't ask questions for two reason:I don't want to get yelled at and I learned from Channing to not ask questions.
I hear two knocks at my door then my sister walks in. "Did someone else say come in? Because I didn't."I ask, looking at her make herself comfortable on my bed. I swear nothing has changed about my sister since she was fifteen. Heart of gold but is as spoiled as they come."Where's Ana?"Vanna asks.
"She's with Gia getting Angel and Ava ready.From what I heard they want to match."I laugh thinking how difficult they are making it for their moms. "Is Mason coming?"I ask. I don't care how over protective I am over Ivanna. Anastasia, Janae and Evelyn can talk all the shit they want about me not letting up on this guy. I know how guys think and if I can prevent her from getting hurt ,I will. The only reason I know his name is because of Janae.
"Yup he will be here tomorrow."She says ,I look up from tying my shoes."I already talked to Chann. Please don't make a seen or big deal. He really is a good guy." She just might be right about him being a good guy. That doesn't mean I shouldn't size this dude up. As a big brother those are my rights. I understand that she's grown and has a personal as she should but she's my baby sister. "I'm won't make a seen. But I will talk to him and see what the kid is about." I say, before she can get anything out I speak."I'm not trying to get in your business with the kid but it will make me feel better to know who's with my sister. You need understand a certain extent but me and Chann protected you for the last 22 years. I can promise you now that won't change." Ivanna takes in what I just said. She's a smart girl so I assuming she gets what I said.
"I love you guys for that but you two still forget I need to make my own choices without you intimidating someone. I don't need daddy, you or Chan holding my hand through every situation. You all should know I'm not the one to hop in and out of relationships so obviously it's serious on both parts."I'll give her that. I think her last relationship was when she was nineteen or twenty. But I also know how that relationship ended is a reason why she stopped entertaining dudes when they would try to talk to her. As bad as it sounds I wish she would go back to that mind set. "I'm not gonna say I won't question him on a few things because I will but I will be respectful for you."
She sighs looking at me,"You are fucking annoying." I don't give a shit.Standing up, Ivanna walks towards me with her arms open. Giving her tight hug,"I love you."I kiss the top of her head,"I love you too. Don't forget that."
