The Sins of Anna

****

Silence filled the Private plane no one dare speak. The sound of a phone text beep caught my ear as I looked over to Maliki who checked his phone immediately as if worried. I see a sigh of relief escape his cool demeanor. As he thumbs through the text it must be long and something important to feel anxious then relief.

"What wrong?" I say breaking the silence wishing to talk about something to fill my thoughts. Maliki Scrunches his face as if to say he's not sure he should say which is a first. "Who is it I say firmer."

"Anna." He whispers but I don't miss it. How could I. Filled with mixed emotions I get up and walk over to where he is sitting across the way from where I had been and sit next to him.

"Did something happen?" I ask trying to keep my cool as I look eagerly at his phone wanting to take it. He slips it into his pocket though. What the hell. Is he seriously going to let me sit here worrying.

"I know what you are thinking, and you bet I am going to let you worry. If you care this much you would have said fuck the past and she'd be here with us." I glare at him in disbelief, he might be my brother, but he is pushing the wrong fucking buttons here. "You want to know why she texted me, call her." I can see his mischievous grin as if expecting me to do as he suggests, just to ease my mind. Bastard, she's probably fine then if he's acting this way. I get up and walk back to my seat even more pissed. Is everyone going to turn on me and talk to her behind my back. I look back at him, phone in hand, and he is typing away.

After I hung up the phone with Mike I walked over and fell face first into my bed. Ren's Scent still lingered. I could feel tears threatening to drown me as I rolled over on my back closing my eyes. I cross my arm up over them. Taking a deep breath. I want to go home. My lip quivers. I bit down on it hard. A beeping noise comes from my cell that's still in my other hand. Removing my arm, I blink in surprise as I sit up and look at my phone. Maliki had responded faster than I had thought he would.

"You had me worried for a second Anna. I will make sure you get the info you asked for of course. Ren is losing his mind after I told him you texted me. Serves him right if you ask me."

I can't help chuckling at the text he sent I can see his mischievous smile mocking Ren as he texts me without telling him anything. I didn't mean to worry anyone though. Or to cause conflict between Ren and Maliki or anyone for that matter. "Forgive me, I just want to do this for Ren, honestly I feel my heart breaking with each passing moment."

"Then come home."

The tears hit the screen on my phone, if only Ren was the one saying this I'd be on the next plan in a heartbeat. "Not yet." I reply. "The fact is still the same if the situation stayed as it was with Ren. I still couldn't be with Ren that's why he accepted Silverman's invitation in the first place. He had been considering this fact. The shock of me being Silverman's legitimate daughter though changed everything. It became real and as much as it hurts I know Ren can't accept it to be real. However; legit or not this is the path I was going to have to take no matter how hard it is I will follow it until our paths cross again." I wait but no text comes after my last message. Had I upset him, or had he lost signal. Feeling lonely I curl up and close my eyes and everything go black.
