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

Chapter 36

Sierra:

Sierra saw her parents in the kitchen as Ramin drove up onto the garage driveway. It was a long time ago since she saw them last, but she tried to be a responsible grown up and waited for Ramin and the kids before casually running to the door. After only two slight knocks Sierra's dad Mike stood in the doorway with a huge smile on his face and the moment after he embraced his daughter with a long hug.

- Nice seeing you Sierra.

- We need to be better to keep in touch.

Then the two of them stood aside so the others could walk in. Mike shaking Ramin's hand as they said hey in a very polite way. Considering that the last time they had met was when her parents would have bet their lives on that Ramin and Sierra were a couple, this was not that awkward. Sierra was really thankful for that. When her father saw the children his face lit up, he really loved children. Sierra did not want to know what he really was thinking about this whole Ramin-Sierra thing. Her mother had been suspicious even on the phone when Sierra called her to say that Ramin and the children were going as well.

- So, this is the well-known Hadley, and you must be Jaiden.

The poor boys did not seem to know what to do and just said a little unsure yes. Sierra knew her dad, so she spoke up;

- Don't kill the poor souls with too many questions.

- But I need to get to know them.

Later they sat around the table for dinner. Sierra's mother had made some really nice food thing, not something Sierra was used to from her childhood, but still very good. Ramin seemed to like it at least for he was eating like a horse, it seemed like he never had enough. Sierra was even a little surprised when he once more reached out to take more food and she let out a little laugh. All Ramin answered was with a look and a huge smile. Sierra felt her cheeks turn a little red by the action, not here, not now. Not before they talked about the fact that they were a couple now. Dinner went by smoothly though. They talked a lot about "Secret Garden" and the songs from that. It was fun, they hadn't talked that much about it on opening night and it was always different to get to know your character. Ramin was very passionate about telling his choices as an actor in different scenes when her father out of curiosity asked. It then again surprised Sierra, Ramin was usually that person that was proud of his success but at the same time a little shy. Neither of them had been telling each other to much about it either so the conversation became interesting and Sierra could feel like home, not needing to prove anything. When Sierra dropped, not on purpose of course, a chocolate candy on her chest Ramin laughed at her and automatically reached a hand up to wipe it away. Sierra did love simple gestures like that, but she somehow froze when she saw that her parents looked at each other really not knowing what to think, but eventually her mother spoke up;

- I'm so sorry for implying that you would have been a couple last time, it was not my thing to do.

Before either of them could replay her dad continued;

- Yes, we are so sorry about that, we just did not think it through.

Sierra felt a little something in her stomach, not knowing what it was. Was she nervous on their reacting? Not really, she was grown up, they did not really care, but somehow, she still was. She knew she should not, but her stomach turned again. When she looked up from her lap she saw that Ramin had been looking at her for some time, the question hanging in the air and visibly in his eyes. She nodded and remanded herself to thank Ramin later for taking this onto him as he spoke up;
