River POV
I arrive home from work early and as I enter the house I speak aloud.
-Ladies, I'm home.
In less than a minute I am greeted by my daughters.
Lake-Daddy!
My youngest with seven years arrives first and she jumps to my arms happy. I laugh as she clings to me giving me a sweet kiss. I kiss her cheek and putting her down I greet Sirena who's now eleven years before I go following them to the dining room and they seat but I keep going back to the kitchen to greet my wife who's serving the food.
-What a beautiful sight.
She laughs and meeting in I kiss her softly.
Lucy-Welcome home.
-I have a question.
Lucy-I'm listening.
-Why are there six dishes when we are just five?
Lucy-Don't you remember that Lucy invited her boyfriend over so we could meet him?
-I thought it was tomorrow. Oh well, it can't be helped now. So, where is Misty?
Lucy-On her room getting ready.
-I'm going to speak with her.
Lucy-I already talked to her.
-I won't punish her, just talking.
I give her one more kiss before I go up to Misty's room. I knock on her door before I go in.
-Misty, I'm coming in.
I go in and she is in her bathroom.

I go in and standing on the door of her bathroom I know why she didn't heard me. She's listening to music with earbuds and wearing only her underwear. Pulling her earbuds off I get her attention.
-Misty.
Mi-Dad! Just you, you scared me.
-Get dressed for dinner.
Mi-I am getting dressed. This is what I'm going to use.
She grabs behind the door closing it and she shows me her outfit. A pink shirt with a white skirt. I take it and examining it for a bit I nod and give it to her.
-Let me see how you look with it. I'll be out to see you.
She chuckles but getting out of the door I sit on her bed as she gets dressed and ready. When she comes out I look at her for a while.
Mi-And? What do you think?
I look at her for a bit more before I give her the approval.
-Is good, acceptable. So, your boyfriend is coming over for dinner.
Mi-Be nice to him, please daddy.
-If he behaves. Is hard to accept that you are not a little girl anymore, that you have grown. And you are a very, very beautiful young lady. How can I give you, my little girl, away.
Mi-Dad.
She hugs me and she speaks softly.
Mi-No matter who or what I get you will always be the most important man in my life and I will always be your little girl. I love you.
-I love you too.
We keep hugging for a bit before the doorbell rings and she dashes away to get the door and I sigh.
-Definitely not my little girl anymore.
With that I go join them for dinner and I manage to catch a glimpse of the boyfriend giving a bouquet of white roses to Misty. I keep going and I join my youngest daughters on the table just as Lucy places dinner for them. Misty comes in with the boyfriend and so everything starts.

Enzo POV
After a while since my sister came and went away again when I was done eating I just stay there. I smile and standing up I go away and into the city and downtown. My sight is normal now but I keep my sunglasses on. This is my favorite place in the world to have company because everyone wants sex, sex and more sex. This is my kind of place. I go in and looking around I find the entrance and leaving a few bills on the counter I go to the VIP room. As I go in the girls are already waiting for me, the customer, to choose. I keep them all and so the party starts.

A few days later I just lie down in the grass by the river looking at the stars in the night sky. There is no moon but there is enough stars to shine and since is late night there is not many people around as most are sleeping on their homes. I want the sun but I would have to fly to the other side of the world for that and I feel too lazy and tired to even move so I might as well just enjoy the stars here tonight. I sigh and stretching a bit I sit up and I look at the river for a moment before I get up and turn to walk. Just walk. Without destination or anything at all. I start thinking about everything and what I want and before I realize it I'm in front of a complex of apartments. I let my body naturally take flight and go to the back corner of the house and settling down on the small balcony I look at the girl inside of the room by the window. I have been coming here for the last four years but I only watch the girl in the window. She is so beautiful, I still remember the first time I saw her.

I fell in love with her right there and I wanted her but I couldn't bring myself to talk to her so I only followed her, I have sent her a few things over these four years. You could say I'm her secret admirer by now and I want more than that but, I can't bring myself to speak to her. I will, eventually, but for now I'm happy just to be able to see her and feel loved whenever she reads my letters or pets the teddy bears and fluffy hearts I sent her.

I sigh and I watch for a bit more as she reads on her bed. She has light skin, brown hair with curly ends and her bangs are tied to the side so she can read easier. Her pajama consists in a white camisole, a pair of red shorts and colorful socks that are to walk around the house. I keep watching her read for a while and after a while the mother comes in her room, they exchange a few words and I know is time to sleep. When her mom goes away she saves the book and stretching she turns off the lights and goes to sleep. I watch her for a bit more before I fly back home and I sleep too.

The next morning I wake up early, before everyone else but still, today I feel different in the good way. I get ready for the day and as I go downstairs I pass the music room and going back I look inside. The piano, violin, cello, guitar and all the music instruments there. I consider it for a bit but when I look at the piano I just go in and so I start playing. It is not until I'm halfway by the song that I get ashamed and stopping I get up and go to have breakfast. After I eat is still before sunrise but I'm way too awake to go back to sleep. Going upstairs I go to my sister's room. Getting inside I wake her up softly.
El-Hmm, Enzo? What are you doing?
-Can we speak?
El-Does it has to be now?
-If I don't tell someone I feel like I'm going to explode.
El-Alright then. Come here, come come come.
She slips to the side of the bed making space for me and I go sit with her.
El-So what's bothering you?
-I, there is a girl I like. But I don't like her like all the others, those are one night stands but she, she's different and I know I want her forever but that's not the craziest thing.
El-Then what's the craziest thing?
-She knows I am there but she, I'm the secret admirer of her.
El-Secret admirer.
-I have sent her letters and teddy bears, flowers and heart balloons but she doesn't know is me.
El-For how long?
-Four years.
El-Four years, huh. Do you want to meet her? Speak with her?
I nod silently and she ruffles my hair messy.
El-Then what's stopping you?
-Getting rejected. I'm not very good with girls. Can I tell you something and you won't laugh?
El-I promise not laughing.
-When I go out with girls, I just do what they want. Nothing more, nothing less.
El-Why?
-Not sure but this is the first time that I felt this way and I truly want to, at least try and give it a change. I want to be with her, not just watch her but talk and go out together. Can you help me with that?
El-Sure. I just need a picture and name.
-Cindy. Here.
I give her the only picture I have of her and she smiles giving me a hug and a kiss.
El-Tell me, what would you like to do? I want to know.
-I like singing and dancing. I was going to do it but, maybe she doesn't likes music. Can I show you and you tell me what you think?
El-Sure. Let me get dressed and you can show me.
-I'll be at the music room.
Giving her a kiss we get up and she goes to the bathroom as I go downstairs to the music room.

Soon after we are both in the music room and I'm singing for my sister. I let it flow and I just feel so good. When I'm done I sigh relieved.
-Sister.
El-That was amazing. You have a great singing voice.
-You say that because you love me.
El-And because is true. Now then, are you hungry?
I shrug and she laughs.
El-I know I'm hungry. Come on, let's go eat.
With that we go to the kitchen and being just silly with each other we play as we cook together.

...............................
A few days later I'm sitting on the roof just watching the clouds pass by the sky slowly. Is a nice day, yes it is. I sigh and sitting up I stretch a bit before I get up and looking to the horizon I'm high enough that I can see the ocean. I smile and jumping off the roof I go have lunch with the family.
-Hey sister.
I hug her lifting her softly before I let her go.
El-Hello brother. Here you go.
She hands me my food and taking it I sit at her side to eat.
-So, how are things going for me? Dear sister.
El-Going good. So, can you do me a favor?
-Elizabeth.
El-You just have to protect me tonight at the party I'm going to.
-But, I wanted to go somewhere else, by myself.
El-I understand.
-Thank you.
El-How silly of me to think that you would want to come with me, and here I thought you cared for me.
-I do but you can handle yourself. You don't need me and I don't want to go to a party.
El-Dad, what do you think if went I get out of the party tonight is going to be late, right?
Brad-Yes, why?
El-If Enzo doesn't come with me, when poor little me gets out of the party I will be all alone and vulnerable to all the dangers the night holds, the cold and dark night.
Br-My poor little girl.
My sister looks at me and I can't help but sigh.
-Fine, I go with you.
El-I knew you'll come around.
With that she hugs me tightly and I can't help but to smile and hug her back. She has done so much for me and this is what I can do for her. I sigh and hugging her a bit tighter I speak.
-Let's go then.
El-Sure thing.
With that we get up and so we go to the party together.
