Sister's Know These Things.
Ianto was sat at the table in the kitchen at his sister's house. "Right we've got things to talk about." Rhiannon started.
"What things?" Ianto asked.
"About you and this man that you were having a meal with at that posh French restaurant in town" She continued.
"What are you talking about?" Ianto questioned.
"Don't lie to me, Yan. Sister's know these things." Rhiannon said and Ianto gave her the I-don't-believe-you look.
"Fine. Susan on the corner was in town and it was her anniversary. They went to that posh French restaurant by the memorial and there was you, having dinner with a man." She confessed. "So?"
"Having dinner, in a restaurant, with a man ..." Rhiannon trailed off.
"So? You have dinner with Tina." Ianto pointed out.
"Not in town. Susan said he was gorgeous, like a film star. Like an escort." Rhi continued.
"He's my boss." Ianto informed her.
"Susan said that it was intimate. I said 'well he's had girlfriends' and she replied with 'Well, no girl was getting her feet around that table. No chance' and she also mentioned that you kissed him." Rhiannon pried. "Fuck!" Ianto swore under his breath.
"Have you gone bender?" She asked. "Mica's hearing this." Ianto said, desperately trying but failing to change the subject. "She's not bothered. Her friend Sian's got two mothers and that celebrity on the telly she watches has got two dad's. Go on." She urged.
When Ianto made no move to say anything Rhiannon continued talking. "You never tell me anything these days. Dad died that was it, you were off. You couldn't wait. Like I did something wrong. I didn't did I?" She finished.
"It's not that. It's my job. It's difficult, it's ... ... ... He is very handsome." Ianto caved.
"No!" Rhiannon exclaimed.
"Now stop it." Ianto stated blankly.
"You're kidding me! Really, though? Christ almighty! He's nice, though? Is he? Is he? Oh, my god. I mean, since when?" Rhiannon just kept rambling.
"It's weird. It's just different. It's not ... men, it's ... It's just him, it's only him." Ianto admitted.
"What about the night in the restaurant?" Rhiannon is too nosy for her own good.
"We were on a date and he turned around and told me that he loves me after months and months of not knowing where we stood" Ianto revealed and it made him feel better inside to know that he could trust his sister.
At least until Johnny walked in...
Thank you to all of you. To that guest who told me to get a beta - you try writing stories and see how easy it is then don't criticize me harshly like that.
Sorry to the rest of you I've had a bad day.
