Our hands were still locked; I looked down at them and back up to her face. No. No. No. No. I dropped her hand and reached out to stroke her cheek. "I do, I feel it too, but this, whatever it is... it can never happen" I told her in a regretful manner. I let my hand fall to my side and just then the door burst open causing me and Sienna to jump slightly.
"What are you doing back?" Sienna asked.
"Came to pick up my briefcase... oh and Sienna I won't be home until tomorrow night, I got some meeting in Sheffield so I'm just going to stay overnight, will you be alright here by yourself?"
"I'll be fine Dad, I am an adult you know"
"Okay well I was just asking"
"I'll be fine, don't worry and I'll see you tomorrow"
"Ok, see you, bye Dod" he said whilst heading to the door and leaving.
"So... I'm going to go now" I said to Sienna. I turned to leave. "Stay" came a quiet voice, I turned to look at her "Please" she added in a pleading tone.
I hesitated. Is this a good idea? I questioned to myself. I didn't know whether to stay or leave, leaving was the best option but then she would be on her own and after earlier I didn't know if that was a good idea, she might do something stupid.
"We can watch a movie, order a pizza... I promise nothing will happen, I won't kiss you again if that's what you're worried about" she said.
"Okay, I'll stay" I said with a hint of uncertainty.
She smiled at me and said "Great, you pick a movie and I'll get the pizza menus"
...
We were both sat on the couch watching 'Twilight' with an empty pizza box on the coffee table. Why am I even watching this crap? I thought to myself. In the end Sienna picked the movie and now she was currently asleep with her head resting on my shoulder. I didn't like to admit it but I had seen 'Twilight' once before, Texas made me watch it, she begged and begged until eventually I caved, just like Sienna did.
So now here I was, sat watching twilight while Sienna slept beside me.
...
The credits begun to roll and just then Sienna woke up.
"Hey you" I said.
She looked at me and asked "How long was I asleep?"
"You fell asleep halfway through the film"
"Sorry" she mumbled back "Why didn't you wake me?"
I met her eyes "You looked so peaceful, figured you'd wake up eventually" I admitted with a shrug.
Something changed and if I didn't look away now I was going to do something I'd regret, so I looked away and quickly stood up.
"Got anything to drink?" I asked.
"There's a bottle of wine in the end cupboard" she replied. I opened the cupboard and got the wine and two glasses out then I walked back over to the couch.
"Want one?" I asked Sienna.
"Of course" she said with a smirk. She loved her red wine but she wasn't really the best at handling it, two glasses and she was a goner.
"Okay, but not too much, you know what you're like with red wine" I said giving her a knowing look and a grin.
She let out a small laugh and said "Okay Dad"
I poured us both a glass and handed Sienna her one, our fingers brushed and I felt it, that spark, I felt it before but I always ignored it, I had to.
I quickly pulled my hand away...
