I Don't Have a Choice, But I'd Still Choose You || A Rierra Fanfic

Chapter 30

Sierra:

When they were done with swimming, water fighting, and riding water slides, they decided to shower quickly and then meet outside the water park. After they would eat out, but since none of them had fancy clothes they were just going to a small place. She didn't really feel like eating at a fancy place either that day so she was thankful for that. All she wanted to do was to get some time alone with Ramin and just enjoy his company. Sure, she loved his children, but she wanted to talk and cuddle with him. That wasn't exactly possible with two children around that may not have accepted her as a part of the family. She didn't know what they thought about her yet, but she hoped that they liked her. From what she had seen so far, they seemed to like her and that felt good.

She walked out of the girls' changing room and was met by Ramin and his boys standing waiting for her. Why were they always faster than her? Smiling for herself knowing that she used to be faster than Ramin when choosing clothes at least, she walked over to them and they started walking towards the car. As always Ramin's and her fingers laced together, and they walked hand in hand to the car. The butterflies in her stomach returned and a smile formed on her lips. It was very hard not leaning a bit closer to him and kiss him, but she didn't know whether he found it okay or not. He maybe wanted to keep their "relationship" secret. She had to ask him about that later. Therefore, she just continued walking by his side not doing anything, but longing for his lips.

They jumped into the car and with Ramin behind the wheel they started driving. Sierra looked at Ramin's concentrated face as he steered the car down the roads to the restaurant. His sharp jawline was in beautiful contrast to his soft face features. She could drown in those warm brown eyes that now focused on the road and she felt her heart ache because of how much she loved him. The car was in silence, however it wasn't awkward. Everyone was tired from the water park and no one felt the need to speak. And even if nobody spoke the radio was on in the background which was a relaxing background noise. Forcing herself to take her eyes off Ramin not wanting to be creepy she looked out of the window.

- So, what did you think of the day? Ramin asked out of nowhere.

She got so surprised by the sudden question that she just turned her head and looked at him. Slowly her brain started to work again and understood that she was supposed to answer the question.

- Well, I had lots of fun. I would gladly do it again; she said and gave him a small smile. What about you?

He now looked at her. If he wouldn't be driving their eyes would have locked but he regularly turned his head to the road to keep up on what was happening outside.

- It was fun. But the best thing was the sight; he smirked at her.

She felt her cheeks grow warm again, for what felt like the millionth time that day. Hoping that the kids didn't understand what he meant she quickly continued the conversation by turning to them and ask:

- How was your day? Did you have fun?

- Yes! Hadley answered. The day was amazing, the best part though was the big waterslide we had to sit two and two in.

As he said this she turned around to face a smirking Ramin and she gave him a "don't say a word"-look.

- That one was my favourite too; she said and turned back. How about you Jaiden?

- It was a fun day, I also liked the waterslides. But the best thing was just to spend time with the family. We haven't gotten the time to do that since the divorce.

Her heart broke when he said that. Of course, she understood that they were sad because of the divorce, but that they thought about it in that way made her surprised. If she felt so strongly for what he said, how did Ramin feel then? Well, now this conversation would die because it felt like no one knew how to continue after that.
