Chasing Love

I peak around the corner seeing my brother and Ana at the front door. They were talking until a smile falls on Ana's face. My brother closes the door behind him, leaving. Ana crossed her arms over chest, smiling to herself.

I smirk leaning on the door frame watching her every move. Her body freezes and her eyes were wide like she had seen a ghost. She sways lightly on her heels, grinning.

"What? You saw everything didn't you?" She throws questions in my face all at once. I nodded smiling at my best friend who is falling heels over my baby brother.

"Come on, let's discuss it because I have known from the very beginning  it has happened Ana." I hesitated, walking to my favorite sofa in the condo.

Ana sits beside me on my right with her legs crossed in Indian style. I giggled at her childishness. She does it every time we talk seriously. I don't understand why but I think I am intimidating her.

I bite my bottom lip fumbling with my fingers. "Am I intimidating?" She nods sadly. I apologize until I stated the obvious.

"You're falling for my brother aren't you?" I sighed sadly. Ana avoided eye contact, only the television had her full attention. I grab the remote turning off the television. Her eyes snap to me, giving me an evil glare.

"I knew the entire time Ana." I started. "You always get nervous when you were around him and stammer a bit." I swallowed hard before I continued.

"But he was there when Justin cheated on you and I couldn't because I was busy when I was not home but he was." I felt my eyes begin to water. I hold her hands in mine before continuing.

"I'm so sorry. And I watch everything happen until I barged into your side." I stop talking with her eyes meeting mines.

"I witnessed everything but I do not understand why you didn't come to me and tell me that you liked Dylan rather than me finding out the hard way." Ana gives me apologizing eyes. She excuses herself walking to her room closing her door behind her.

Should I tell Dylan? Or let Anastasia stands up for herself?

I know what I will do, I will leave the situation alone and let them find themselves.

Ana has been in her bedroom for five hours I assume she is sleeping. Eventually, she will intentionally come out the room if she's starved. Which won't be any longer soon because she eats like a grown man.

I do feel guilty confronting Ana's love for my brother. I am just hurt the most when she never came to me because we always tell each other EVERYTHING. However, I decided to tell a secret that I was gonna keep from her but I didn't.

I told her because I love and trust her with anything. And she is my family also the only one I got besides Dylan.

There was a knock at the front door. I look through the peephole, spotting  Dylan with a duffle bag over his shoulder.

I happily opened the door and drastically wrapped my arms around Dylan's neck. I kissed his cheek and ushered him into his bedroom.

The room was less decorated with the color of baby blue walls and other varieties of blue on the comforter.

The room was prepared for a baby. I really want a boy because boys are less harder to deal until it comes to teenagers years. I chuckled to myself and Dylan looks at me confused.

Dylan and I sat on the comfortable bed while I explain about early pregnancy. Dylan is so excited because he is about to be an uncle.

"Liz, you need to tell him now before its too late," Dylan warns walking out the door.

Maybe he is right, I need to because there should not be secrets hidden from him. Because John wants a family and house with me. I love him so much.

I will tell him soon as possible when he comes back from his camping trip with his brother.
