Dark Paradise [Z. Malik // fanfic]

11. Dangerous

Liam's POV

I watched as Reina's smile dropped and a frown took it's place.

"My...what?!" She breathed out still shocked.

"I know it's pretty weird having someone in your door claiming to be your brother but you have to believe me. I've been searching a lot ever since i turned 18. Finally in my mid 20's i found you." I forced a small smile, trying to light up a little the situation. 

"We... I...I can't talk to you! At least not right now. I was leaving..." She stuttered and tucked a piece of hair behind her ear.

"Here..." I reached for a pen and I wrote my phone on her hand "...call me whenever you can. I'll be in London for at least two weeks and then i'm leaving for a bussiness trip and i'll be back again in five days. But please call me. I want to talk to you..."

"Okay. I promise." She slowly nodded and took a good look around.

The elevator dinged and she tensed at the sight of three men coming towards her apartement.

"Is everything okay?" I whispered not wanted to make a mistake.

These guys looked big and dangerous after all.

"Yes, just leave please." She whispered back and waved me off.

I did as I was told to, not wanting to cause any other problems. I watched as the guys made their way straight to her apartement and she took a last glimpse of me before closing the door behind her.

Days passed by and there was no sight of Reina. She didn't call and a couple of days ago i passed by her apartement to check if she was okay but i found out she moved out that night.

I was worried of anything that these weird looking guys could do to her, but i couldn't do anything right? All i did was to wait patiently for her to call me and eventually she did.

I was curently waiting for her to come to the little cafe that was located a couple of miles away from London. It was a peacefull, cozy cafe. I took another quick look out of the window and saw Reina coming. I sat up straight and wore my best smile.

"Sorry i'm late..." She spoke and sat across me in the small table.

"It's alright. What do you want to drink?" I said. My smile never leaving my lips.

"Tea would be fine." She smiled aswell.

After the waitress placed the cup of tea in front of Reina, i knew it was time for us to talk.

"So..."

"So are you really my brother?" She asked.

"Yes." I sighed. "Look when mum left you to the orphanage i was only four. I don't remember much from this night. Just some blurry memories from you crying and mum trying to seperate me from you. I lived with her for three more years...until she passed away." I teared up at the memory.

"She...she's dead?" Reina asked. Hurt evidence in her voice.

"Yeah..." I nodded. "She...she was a drug addicted. That's why she left you there. She couldn't handle two kids and having to pay for her dose. After our father dumped her she was heartbroken, that's why she found comfort in drugs. It's all in her diary." I reached out for the diary that was laying next to me and handed it to Reina. 

She took it in her hands examinating the pages and tracing her fingertips in the sloppy writen letters that were resting at the slightly yellow pages.
