Island Love
Chapter 6: I knew it!
A/N: I just want to thank you guys so much for the review, and I'm new to this, so, me continuing to write it's because you guys motivate me and inspire me to do more, so both of my stories are dedicated to you guys, ENJOY!
The next morning I find my little snoop of a sister Stella, talking to Musa and it's no surprise if she's trying to make her confess about last night. I walk over to them to see what's going on.
"I knew it! I knew that both of you guys had feelings for each other. I SO KNEW IT!" and that's all I could hear from her annoying voice, yup word got out!
"What's with all the screaming and jumping?"
"Oh like you don't know, how come you didn't tell me when you got home last night?"
"*Sigs* because I knew you would react like this"
She looks at me for a second, and then she hugs me and screams at my ear 'I knew it!' over and over!
"So when's the wedding?"
Musa almost chokes on her orange juice, I just stared at her, is she crazy? We aren't even official; we're just taking things one thing at a time.
"Wow Musa take it slow, I just want to know"
"Yo Stella, that's a nice picture but me and your brother are just starting, we aren't even official"
"So when are you guys going to be official?"
"When we're ready, Stella I just told him that I like him, and the best thing to do form that point is to take it slow, try to get along to develop the feelings and see where it goes from there"
Stella looked at Muse as if she never knew what the word DEVELOP and SLOW meant.
"So you guys are going to take things slow and wait until you're ready for the next step?"
"That's pretty much it"
"That is such a bunch of BS… who the hell waits for a relationship?"
"Those people who don't want to screw it… like you on several relationships"
"Shut up Riven, and besides this isn't about me it's about you and Muse"
"Just one thing baby sis"
"Yes?"
"Who else knows about this?"
"Just me and the other girls, why?"
"Well I don't want you and the others telling anybody"
"Why not?"
"Yeah Riven, why not?"
I stood there, I didn't want no one to know, due to the fact that everyone here in Dorado knows me, and if my ex finds out, she'll do anything to ruin the relationship, but I had to think fast because it looked like Musa was about run.
"Because I want Musa and me to tell everyone, it doesn't seem fair that you get to spread the news since it is about me and her"
"Well I guess you're right, just don't mess it up"
"How can anyone mess up an announcement?
"By saying the right words in the wrong order at the wrong time and place"
Stella walked back to her bedroom and I was left alone in the kitchen with Musa.
MUSA'S POV
So I was left alone in the kitchen with Riven, and boy I know that my brothers can get crazy but this girl is out of her mind.
"So when do we tell everyone?"
"Oh um when we eat"
"And when's that?"
"Tonight, since its Friday my mom makes a huge family dinner and my dad will be there so I'm guessing it's the right time and place"
"So all that's left is saying the right words, but in the right order"
"Exactly"
"Riven are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine nothing to worry"
"You sure? Cause you seem kind of distracted"
"Didn't get much sleep, you know, emotions and stuff"
"Riven is there something you're not telling me? Because if we are to take the next step we need to trust each other"
"It's nothing I promise, hey what time is it?"
"It's 8:59 why?"
"Oh shit, I'm late for work, listen I promise we can talk about this later ok, I'll even bring your favorite ice cream, but right now I have to go, I'll see you at dinner"
"But Riven"
"I promise we'll talk about this, see you tonight bye"
He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek and runs out the door to go off to work. And now I'm alone, with a glass of orange juice. Something tells me that he didn't had to work today and that he's hiding something and I'm going to find out, even if it means cracking his head open.
I finish my glass of orange juice and walk up to Flora's room, she must know something and it shows that she can't tell a lie. So I knock on her door, let's just hope I didn't knock on a bad time.
"Good morning sweetie, what brings you up here?" she asked in a sweet mellowed tone.
"Oh hey Flo, I was wondering if we could talk, just the two of us"
"Sure come on in"
She closes the door behind me and the first thing that hits my face is this amazing aroma of flowers, her room is filled with tons of different flowers and plants, it's very bright and vivid and its very peaceful.
"Wow your room is so bright and vivid, it's so alive, and I love it"
"Well thank you, I was actually working on some potions and spells to help them resist poisons stuff like bug spray and hair spray, that stuff tends to harm the atmosphere and the plants."
"Well if you'd like I could help you with it?"
"That would be great, but first tell me what was it you wanted to talk about?"
"Well it's about Riven"
"What about him?"
"Did he have to work today?"
"No, Mr. Brice gave him the whole month of; July is when all of our families come to visit, why?"
I knew it; he's hiding something, but what? "Well he just left off to work, and I'm getting the feeling that he's hiding something"
"Oh boy, here we go again"
"What do you mean?"
"Musa it's not that Riven doesn't like you, it's just…"
"It's just what?"
"It's his ex, every time Riven finds a girl he likes or gets a new girlfriend she ruins the relationship, and he's just trying to protect that"
"Then why didn't he tell me that?"
"Maybe he doesn't want to hurt your feelings, and pretty sure he means good Muse"
"I'm sure he does, I guess were just going to have to talk, he has to stand up to her if he wants things to work"
"That's the spirit"
"Hey, is that a Cherry Blossom?"
Flora looks the right and smiles "Yeah, why?"
"I love those, they remind me of my dream, oh shoot, Riven and I were supposed to ask Tecna for help" thank god I blocked the word as a possible.
"Help for what?"
"About my dream, the Cherry Blossom is the closes thing to a clue I have about my origin"
"Well why don't you explain me about your dream, and I'll talk to Tecna about it"
I smile and start explaining, Flora takes several notes to give to Tecna, once done I keep my word and help Flo with her spell and potions. I finished helping Flo with her project; I wished her good luck in hopes for the spells and potions to work.
I head to my room, to think a little, and to my surprise Stella is checking out my closet.
"Yo Stella, what are you doing?"
"Darling tonight is the family dinner, and Uncle Ben and Aunt Mary are coming, you must be presentable, but look simple at the same time"
"What you uncles are the approvable if Riven and I are together?"
"Yes, my family is very strict on who we date. And I my dear am here to help you"
"Well so be it"
Dress after dress, and still nothing and the last thing I need is to go shopping with Stella. And finally we found the perfect dress, not to flashy, but elegant and simple, it was a not to showy but nice V neck dress that ended above my knees, it was the color of a soft pink rose and a thin lace that goes around my waist the same color but a little bit darker, Stella picked out the shoes they were rose pink with a touch of ivory heels, and some accessories to go with it. It was 3:30 pm and the dinner started at 7 so there was plenty of time to go, so I help the other girls find their dress and Riven's mom setting the table. I wonder what Riven is doing at this time?
RIVEN'S POV
So I was in the mall just browsing around with a milkshake in my hand, thinking of ways to explain Musa the situation, and I'm pretty sure that a secret relationship is no way to go, and out of nowhere I hear the most awful voice ever, it was Mitzi calling my name, and yes the bitch of my ex the likes no wait that LOVES to ruin my life.
"Riven slow down I just want to talk to you"
"What do you want Mitzi?"
"Hey is it true that your family is taking care of a stray girl that you found on a beach near Old San Juan?"
"Nothing gets by you does it?"
"Hey I just want to know"
"Why do you care?"
"Well because I want no stray touching my man"
I stopped walking, and I could not believe what I heard, this girl is really pissing me off.
"Let me make thing clear for you Mitzi, we broke up two years ago, I want nothing to do with you ok, and I won't let you or any other girl ruin this relationship with the girl that I like, I can't stand you ok? Get that through you little skull!"
"But Riven, can't you see that I still have feeling for you?"
"What you have is called an obsession and I don't have any feeling for you at all, so get on with your life and leave mines alone"
"But Riven"
"GOOD BYE MITZI!"
I walk back to my car, and drive home it' 5:15 and the family dinner starts at 7, and if I don't get home soon, I'll be late, I'm just lucky I know my home town and all of its shortcuts. I got home at 6:05 and in luck, I had enough time to get dressed and ready before my family from my dad's side got home.
As I was putting on my best clothes I heard laughter in Stella's room and it was obvious that the girls were getting ready. 'Musa I can't wait to see Riven's face when he sees you' 'He's never gannah let you go' 'you guys sure about it?' 'Of cores we are who know Riven better than his sisters?'
I smiled but even I couldn't wait to see her.
A/N: I wonder what will happen at the family dinner. Will Riven's family accept Musa or put up a fight? Find out once I write more and get break from school work!
