'Side by side or miles apart, we are brother and sister connected by heart'

Leonardo


My smile didn't leave my face all night
I haven't been this happy in years

We were all seated around the table. Kiara was sitting in between Kyle and Jeremy. They haven't shut up the whole night, which is rare

We don't talk much when we have meals together,but today we were a family, not strangers forced to spend time together

My eyes didn't leave her the whole night.
The way she talked the way she described things the way she laughed
Just her,

When she was little,she always followed me around the house. Whenever I taked a break from work
We would play together,eat together, and even sleep together

Even though I was at the start of my twenties back them,and I had other things to take care of, like work and school, I always had time for my little siblings, especially Kiara

But now,since I'm the oldest, I have to take care of all of them
I'm their guardian now,and I will do everything to protect them

Kiara


I'm happy I'm so happy
I feel safe. I fell loved and in the right place
I know that is too soon to trust them this much, but I can't help it,I feel a strong connection between us

Kyle and Jeremy didn't stop asking me questions the whole night. I answered some and some not,which made them even more curious, but I didn't say anything

I can't tell them about my foster family that I ran away from, but I have to tell them one day eventually
But for now, I won't think about it

"Where do you live?" Jeremy asked me
"I have an apartment close to the cafe I work at,"
They nodded
Leo looked at me them at Jeremy

"What do you think of moving in our house?"
I looked at Leo with unsure expression
"I don't know. I didn't think about it.I don't want to be a burden to you guys, You all are busy people, and I don't want to disturb all of you.

Lorenzo looked at me
"You will never be a burden to us,we want you back, and our house is yours too."
I lifted my head and stared at him
I don't know what to do
I hate being a burden to people
But it's gotten harder to pay the rent for the apartment on time

The salary from the cafe is not enough and I haven't had a match in 4 months because I wasn't in a mood to fight
I wanted to do boxing for a hobby, but it turned out in a way of making money, and I didn't like that, but I didn't have a chance I was in a need for money so I decided to jump in the water but every time I started swimming further and further so I decided to take a break from it

I look at Lorenzo, ready to deny again, but Allan beat me to it
"I want my little sister back, and if I have to take you back against your will, I'm going to do it." He threatened me

I looked at him with amusement

"You are older than me with 20 seconds."
I glared at him
"20 seconds or 20 years I'm still older than you,"
he said and winked at me

"No, but Allan is right. We all want you back, and I don't have plans on leaving you alone by yourself again."
Kyle said

"But what I'm going to do with my work and the university and I still have rents to pay and my things"

"You are going to move to the university where your brothers are, and you don't need to work,and I will help you for the rent. Don't worry, princesse, you are not a burden. You are my sister, and I will do everything for you ."
Leo said, looking at me with hope

"I still need to think a little
I know that You all are excited as much as I am, but I have been by myself for as long as I remember, and I'm not used to a lot of people around me,so I will need time to get used to all of you guys"
I looked at Leo's, still unsure .
It will be hard learning to live with this many people
They all looked a little sad but didn't say anything

We finished dinner, and they insisted on driving me home
We all got in the car. I was sitting in between Allan and Kyle
Jeremy turned towards me
"Kiara, you can sleep if you want. we still have an hour to drive."
"No, I have to navigate you towards the apartment,I can't sleep."
I don't want to sleep in a car full of men that will be embarrassing
"Ok,whatever you want."

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

We were now almost at my place
"Turn left here, and then go straight up the road, and you will see the apartment complex."
Leo nodded and followed my inner
"Is it this one ?"
Lorenzo asked me, looking at the luxury building
"Yes ,park the car here."
We parked the car, and everyone got out
"Are you guys going to get in or?"
"Of course, we are. I'm not staying here any longer,"Lorenzo said and  hurried to get out of the car

I laughed
Allan ,Kyle, and Leo got into the elevator with me while the others got the stairs

I opened the door of my apartment, and they followed me inside

The apartment is enough for around 4 people. I have one guest room,my bedroom, two bathrooms, and a kitchen and living room in one.

They sat on the couch in the living room and stared at me while I went to the kitchen to get them drinks
"I don't have any alcohol but I have some cola and juice."
I said while placing them on the table

"I like it here. The apartment is cozy and warm, and it's nothing compared to the mansion."
Enzo said while looking around

"Do you have a car, sweetheart?"Leo asked me
"Yeah, do you?"
Kyle asked me, too
and everyone turned their gaze towards me
"No,but I have a license."
They nodded their heads
"What about your foster parents Kiki"

I looked at Kyle.Kiki?He used to call me like this when I was little
Wait? How did I remember that
"They...I don't live with them anymore."I said, looking away from them
I wasn't planning on telling them this soon,we just met

"She don't need them anymore. We are here now." Allan said.he looked annoyed somehow
"So now are you gonna move in with us?"
Jeremy asked, and the others looked at me with hopeful faces
