Chapter 16: Chapter 16
Rosetta
Seriously like always... He let me live in the dark. I'm not saying he's bad... He's not but I have that kind of feeling that he's hiding something very big. Very big and very mysterious but what? I can't even under his mood swings within a second. Why is it so hard for me to understand him? Why? He said that he's not Ash's boyfriend but Ash tells a very different story. It's seriously a mad world.
"Hey, sweetie."
I turned around to see Chris, she was standing behind me. I smiled.
"Hey, beautiful bride," I said as Chris came closer to me with a wide, beautiful, and joyful smile.
"Thank you, but you know what? That bouquet already chooses you and I'm imagining you with my brother. Seriously you two are perfect for each other."
I sigh, "Chris!"
"Oh, I know that I'm starting again but—" Chris stops talking as she starts blushing and I laugh.
"Not a chance Chris."
"Hey, don't say that. Andrew and I are of course together tonight so I was just hoping that you two... Maybe—"
I chuckled.
"That's not gonna happen, dear," I said as Chris smiled.
"Who knows better than our fate?" Chris asked.
I smiled.
"You're right but it's your day so let yourself not think about us, think about your epic day and night of course." Chris blushes.
"Oh yeah, but I'm thirsty. Let's go to the kitchen. I want water and a little refreshment. These guests and their noises are killing me and my high heels too."
I smiled as we went inside the Snow's mansion and then straight to the kitchen. Chris was drinking water so I decided to check my phone. "No!"
"What happened?" Chris asked me as I looked at her and sighed.
"My phone is about to die."
"Oh, don't worry my charger is upstairs at the right corner table, you can take it."
"Thank you, Chris."
"No problem dear."
We both were talking but then Andrew calls Chris so she starts running by grabbing her big Maxi from the bottom. She said her feet are killing her because of these high heels but when Andrew calls her she forgot everything. I love that beautiful connection.
I sighed as I decided to go upstairs for the charger.
When I go upstairs I grab her charger and connect it to my phone. It's really dark here. No lights. Even stairs are covered by darkness too. I can barely see the stairs.
I sighed as I decided to go upstairs for the charger.
When I go upstairs I grab her charger and connect it to my phone. It's really dark here. No lights. Even stairs are covered by darkness too. I can barely see the stairs.
My phone is charging so I decided to go downstairs but then—
I saw... Her. "Well, well. Little stubborn or should I say a time passing girl?" What the hell is she doing here? I get really angry as the memory of our last fight echoes in my mind.
"What do you want?" I asked with anger in my tone.
"Hmm, nothing, just stop flirting with my boyfriend."
I laughed.
"Excuse me; I'm not the one who is flirting. I really don't care if you're his girlfriend or not but you know what?"
"What?" She asked with so much annoyingness.
"You're living in a dream where Drake is your boyfriend and everything is just the way you wanted. But in real life, you are living in a dream of a fool."
"You... How dare you say that?" Ash shouted.
"Keep your volume down Ash, I can raise my volume too but I really don't want to ruin my best friend's wedding so I have to tolerate you."
"You what?" Ash asked. Her face is red, anger burns in her brown eyes. She looks like a wild... Peach! I'm a good girl. So I used a good word for her. I laugh at my own good wording.
"Why are you laughing?" Ash asked.
"Nothing, I'm just laughing at you, how crazy and mad you are looking right now?"
"I'm gonna kill you."
"Really, Ash? Oh go ahead, have fun killing me."
Ash, clenches her hands into a fist as she comes closer to me.
"I warn you... One more time... Stay away from Drake or me—"
"You what?" I ask by cutting Ash off.
"You're gonna regret it."
I arched my brow as I made a cute little pout face.
"Oh! I'm scared." as I said that I'm about to leave that place but "Ouch!" I fell on my back very badly. I saw Ash smirking as her eyes turned into pure red. Just like... Drake. Her eyes are pure red. I remember... I still remember that aquarium incident. The ancient, when Drake saved me.
His eyes were the same. I'm damn sure now... That wasn't my illusion, or my imagination, or anything... It was real. It was all real.
"Oh looks like someone gets scared?" Ash said as I stood slowly while staring at her.
"Who... Who are you?" I asked as she smirked.
"Your worst nightmare, dear." As Ash said that I see her eyes are not the same... It's brown again. How is it possible I saw her eyes...? It was red but now—
"Get the hell out of my house before I really kill you." I heard a powerful strong voice coming from behind Ash. Ash turned around to see it... Drake!
"Drake, my love." Ash barked.
"I'm gonna treat you the way you deserve it... Ash!" Drake said that his tone is so harsh and filled with anger. I know he is threatening her. But now after that, I feel my whole body is aching.
I'm feeling so much pain...mostly in my legs and my arms. Drake threatened her, shouting at her…. After some time Ash is finally gone. It's a relief but her eyes…. It was red. What is wrong with me? Am I sick? Am I crazy? I'm seeing those things which are not possible.
"Rose!" Drake called my name as I glanced at him. I have nothing to say... Don't have enough strength to ask anything. I know he's gonna lie this time too as usual. No use to ask anything.
Drake comes closer while he grabs me from my arms as he looks at me. His eyes are not the same devilish; it's full of pain and innocence. He gently removed some stray hair from my face.
"Rose! Are you okay? Tell me, are you okay?" I nodded. Hurt, anger, emotions, pain, sting, and some questions burn under my skin. I was shivering badly as Drake holds me tightly.
I took a step back as I turned around to leave. I grabbed my phone and went downstairs but because of that damn darkness I'm about to slip but—
"Rose!" Drake shouted my name as he ran to me and grabbed my hand. He saved me… again, like always, like a protector.
"I'm okay, it's too dark here." As I said that… Drake moves closer to me….slowly… Drake is passing in front of me. I close my eyes as he's passing… His warm, beautiful, addictive scent catches my heartbeat and my breath.
I'm drowning in his scent. His presence. He grabs my hand as he starts walking down.
Slowly he's leading me, without looking at me in this darkness. I'm following him... his lead…. I'm chasing his scent. It's like a dream…. a dream full of love and sweetness. It's too dark but I can see the flowers…. beautiful white and blue flowers around us. Nothing is more beautiful than his presence. All my pain disappears. I don't know how that happened. But it's okay... I love it! I love…. Him. Maybe Chris was right, maybe I'm really in love with him? But maybe… It only stops at maybe.
Drake
She's hurt. Again. I'm helping her. It's really too dark here. My eyes are pure red now just like they should be. My original red eyes. I'm healing her by grabbing her hand. It's the only way to ease her pain. She didn't know how she was getting healing and that's good. I can't... I can't see her in pain. Ash is the worst nightmare for all of us. She showed up in her original form.
I know Rose again started thinking about her but it's better to stay quiet, keep hiding this big secret and let her live in the dark which I really never wanted but there's nothing I can do. Nothing!
We're finally downstairs; I leave her hand and place my hand in my pocket.
I turned around to see her after transferring my eyes into normal which is of course hazel.
"Rose! Are you okay?" I asked with deep concern in my eyes.
She softly nodded. Her eyes are a little red because of that accident and... Pain.
"I'm okay. Thanks for helping me."
"It's okay," I said as I pointed to the existing door. We both went outside to join Andrew and Chris. Their reception is about to start now after a few more minutes.
"Where have you been? I was worried about you because you and Ash disappeared at the same time so—" Chris asked Rose with so much worry and a beautiful friend's love but then she looked at me and shot me a naughty look. I can understand her looking.
She's thinking that something happened between me and Rose... I narrow my eyes to tell Chris that nothing happened and she starts laughing. My innocent kid didn't understand our secret way of telling each other.
"I thought something happened?" Chris grins as she says that.
Rose smiles, "Nothing happened Chris, I was just charging my phone and it took me a while."
I smiled, I'm impressed by her. After surviving so much pain she still smiled and pretended that nothing bad happened just to keep Chris happy. I called her a kid and she is in so many ways but a precious mature and beautiful kid too.
Oh, now my favorite part is coming now. It's a couple of dance times. Chris and Andrew are already busy dancing. I turned to talk to Rose.
I take out my hand from my pocket for Rose to take it. She looks at me with a confusing look and I chuckle at her innocence.
"Shall we?" I said as I pointed to the dance place.
She arched an eyebrow and smiled. "What about Ash?"
"Hey, I want to enjoy that special moment with you, not that hell. Don't ruin this beautiful moment." I said softly as she smiled and took my hand.
We both went to the dance place as I placed one hand on Rose's waist and one hand grabbed her hand.
We slowly started a couple of dancing. Just like I want. She's looking at me and I'm looking at her. Her beautiful ocean eyes, her beautiful soft kissable pink lips, her pink cheeks, and her amazing dark red hair. She's prettier than every Goddess. She's more beautiful than every girl. She's a flower... A beautiful flower named Rose.
She smiled, "Don't... Look at me that way." Rose said softly, her voice is like a sweet melody that directly touches my heart.
I laugh as I pull her closer by pulling her from her waist.
"Are you afraid of falling in love?" I asked.
"Maybe." She said like a whisper a sweet soft whisper that only I can hear.
"Believe it, me too," I said while we danced slowly. She smiles. I raise my arm so Rose can spin herself in her beautiful baby blue Maxi.
I want to know her, her presence, her scent; I want to know that beautifully weird connection between us. I look down at her lips, I really want to touch her, I want to feel her, taste her but it's not possible. Our reality, our two different worlds never let us be together. I smirked as I looked down at her lips again.
"You look beautiful Rose and not only beautiful but a beautiful hot... Kid!"
Rose narrows her eyes and I laugh, she looks so cute.
"Thanks for the compliment Drake but I'm not a kid."
I smirked as I leaned closer to her.
"You are and you always will." As I said that I winked and smiled.
Rose softly wrapped her arms around my neck as she leaned closer to me.
"And I'm gonna prove you wrong someday….. Drake!"
I laughed widely. "Are you challenging me...Baby?"
"Yep, It's a challenge." She said.
I chuckle, "Challenge accepted."
Rose and I are seriously enjoying this moment. I saw her cute happy face… I love it! I always do. I glance at Chris and Andrew….. They are busy, completely drowned in their beautiful fantasy. I'm happy for them, for their love, for everything.
"They look beautiful," Rose said as a small smile escaped from the corner of my lips.
"Yes, they are and I always want to see them happy."
Rose smiles, "Yeah, I know… I know how much you love them. You always think about them."
I glance at Rose, impressed by her wording and how understanding she is. She really knew how I feel.
"So, did you enjoy today?" I asked.
Rose nodded with a lovely smile, "I enjoy it, really."
Thank God, she's not upset anymore. I'm happy to see her beautiful smile and the spark in her eyes. Whenever I look into her eyes… I'm drowned… in this ocean of love.
"I'm glad that you like it," I said as she gave me a smile.
