Chapter 21: Chapter 21
Rosetta
Oh, my God, he challenged me, it's the first time that someone challenges me and I want to lose it because I'm already addicted to him. My stomach is fluttering with thousands of butterflies and my heart is racing. That day when he kissed my forehead I wanted that kiss again.
A mischief smile escaped from the corner of Drake's lips.
"What now?" I asked.
He looked at me with a wide smile, "Baby girl, do you want that kiss on your forehead again?"
What the..... My heart is not racing this time, it just stops beating, "How you? How do you know that?" I punched his arm hard. "Are you reading my mind?" I asked furiously.
Drake shrugs with a devilish mischief smirk, "Maybe? Is that a bad thing?"
"I'm gonna kill you someday," I said.
"Aww, get killed by a baby girl, that's romantic." I stand up and sit with Chris who's eating a muffin and enjoying Andrew's company.
"What happened? Are you okay?" Chris asked.
I sighed, "He's reading my mind."
Andrew chuckled, "My poor brother, he can read only those people's minds who sit with him."
I raised an eyebrow, "In that case, I never sat with him again."
"Miss me?" Drake asked.
"Yes brother, don't disturb her and it's time to talk about serious problems." I looked at Drake, his happy and flirty face turning into the darkest mode. Drake sits with me silently.
Andrew told her the rest of that story. "Rose, as you know that all monsters worked for Mystic. When a person killed Mystic's monster, that monster captured his or her face in its eyes, so when it died Mystic watched that person's face in that monster's eyes and killed that person."
"So, that means he captured my face too?"
"No, because he was made of sand and you killed him in a river, so he's completely vanished."
"Oh, that's a relief to know," I said.
Andrew smiled, "Yeah, but it's only for now."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Rose, you need to stay away from monsters, try your best not to get yourself involved in any trouble. If you feel something, anything weird around yourself just call us okay?"
I nodded, "Okay," I said.
"We need to work together," Chris said. "You know we both worked in the cafeteria so Andrew and Drake decided to join us in the cafeteria."
"Baby girl and a hot devil need to stick together."
I narrowed my eyes, "In your dreams Drake, in your dreams. Stop calling me baby girl, I'm mature."
He smirked. "No, you are a baby angry bird."
"Why do you keep calling me baby?" I asked annoyingly as I stared at him. He laughed, "It's because that's who you are."
"Drake stop it? Don't irritate her," Andrew said.
He chuckled, "Okay."
"Rose, if you ever are attacked by a monster again he makes your life hell too, and if we talk about Mystic? Well…. He keeps searching until he finds you and makes you suffer."
I shut my eyes and sighed. "Don't worry Chris, I'll do my best."
She smiled.
"By the way, the muffins are delicious Chris."
"Do you like it?" Chris asked.
"Yeah, it's good," I said.
"Aww, thank you."
Seriously, even if he's such an irritating, flirty weirdo monster he's attractive and I admit it. I glance at Drake and he's trying his best to hide his smile.
I raised an eyebrow, "You're reading my mind again, don't you?" He's smiling and staring at the wall, maybe? "So, you admit it?"
"What?" I asked.
"That I'm attractive." He replied as he grins.
I bite the inside of my lip, "No, I won't admit it."
He chuckled, "Hmmm, stubborn baby girl."
"No, I'm not," I said.
I sighed as I changed my sitting position to see Drake. "Can I ask you something?" He looked at me with a soft smile, his hazel eyes melting my heart. "Anything Rose."
"Everything.... Everything that just happened in past days… all incidents from Aqua Museum to Ash's disaster…. Everything… It was real, all of it. That wasn't my illusion."
He sighed as he sat back, "It was real, all of it."
I don't know after hearing that, where that throbbing pain in my heart comes from. My throat starts hurting because I'm doing my best to not let out these stupid tears. I don't want to.
"And you kept lying; you said it was my illusion. I asked you so many times... Drake! And you kept denying it. Really?"
"Rose! I was… I was just trying to save my family. I don't even know you at that time so how is it possible that I told you this…. Terrifying secret. I was terrified, I know that I'm a weirdo, stupid, angry, and a complete douche but I love my family. I'm a devil, nobody likes me but my family loves me and I love them. I can't lose them. That family is the only one that I have left and I just can't—"
I place my finger on his lips to shut him. His eyes were red. I saw warm tears stream down his eyes. His lips, cheeks, and nose are pure red, beautiful hazel eyes carrying so much pain. "I'm sorry." His voice is hurtful, a soft whisper that only I can hear.
My heart is feeling so heavy and aching, even my eyes filled with tears too I…. Hugged him. I wrapped my arms around his neck and his arms were wrapped around my waist. He hugged me tightly and so did I.
"Drake! I know the importance of a family. I know and I understand. I know what you are going through and I'm sorry for not understanding you at first but now…. No more questions." A small laugh I heard, "Baby girl always allowed to ask me anything."
"Really," I said as I gently pulled away from Drake's hug. "In that case, I do have a little more question?" Drake smiles, "What is it?"
"Is Ash a devil too?"
Drake widely laughs, "Pure devil." I raise an eyebrow. "I believe that."
Time passed as Chris and I went back to our dorm. I put on my night dress as I go to bed. Today was really very long.
I hate it when I do realize that it's already morning.
My school is off because of the freaking cold and I know it's my job day again, oh I almost forget that boys are coming today too, now that's what makes me excited.
I heard a knock on the door.
"Hey, Rose it's me, Chris."
"Come in Chris," the next thing that I know is she's standing right in front of me at the doorstep wearing a baby blue short shirt and short jeans.
"Wow, you look beautiful Chris."
"Thanks, it's Andrew's favorite color."
"What's Drake's favorite color?" I asked.
"Well, he likes black, blue, white, and red on ladies."
"On ladies?" I parrot her word.
She smirked, "Yeah."
"I'm planning to wear white today."
"Oh, that's his favorite color too."
"Really, give me ten minutes?"
She nodded, "Okay, go hurry."
I quickly take a shower, put on my white shirt with white shorts on, wear light red lipstick, my signature flower necklace, and a pink and white flower bangle, last but not least white high heel long shoes it's long enough to only cover my ankles it's not too long and I love it anyway after getting ready I show my look to Chris and her mouth drops open.
"Oh my gosh, Drake is definitely gonna kiss you today, I'm damn sure."
"Why?" I smiled.
"Girl, you look like the hottest angel of Winchester and asking me why? Seriously, nobody can't distract him from you today?"
"Chris, It's a good thing right?" I asked.
"It's perfect Rose, now come on let's not waste any more time." After what Chris said to me, I want to see Drake's reaction seriously. What if he really kisses me today, it should be good.
Here we go again, the cafeteria is right in front of us and it's time to meet him.
Drake
Time is just ticking and I'm walking fast as I need to go to the washroom. Andrew's sitting on the left side of me and smiling at me because he knows how impatient I am.
"They are here," Andrew said. I stopped walking and saw her. Her white shirt with bare shoulders and red lipstick I love her, she's perfect and I want to kiss her.
"Good morning girls," Andrew said.
"Good morning boys," Chris replied. As always they start kissing.
"You look stunningly hot Rose." She smiled, "Thanks, Drake."
"Why on earth are you so hot?" I asked.
She smirked, "Are you flirting, Drake Snow?"
"Yes, I am," I said, this time without hesitation. Her dark red hair on a white shirt is like roses on snow. She is Rose, a perfect name for perfect beauty. I love her from the stars and back to earth.
"Hey, boys are you the customers or what?" Zuro asked.
"We want a job here," I said.
"Are you sure about it? Because it doesn't look like you are serious about your job? You look immature."
I smirked, "We are and we want that job. I promise we won't let you down, right Andrew?"
"Yeah, of course, right?"
"Alright then, get to work now, hurry." Finally, that freaky Zuro's gone. "I swear I want to blow him."
"Don't start again Drake." I glance at Rose with a soft smile, "Why do you care about that creature? Rose."
She smiled, "That creature is a human." I raised an eyebrow, "So what?"
"Are you always like that?" Rose asked angrily.
"Always," Andrew replied.
"I respect your tolerance, really Andrew." She said.
He starts laughing, "Finally, someone understands my pain."
Seriously, now I'm angry at Andrew more than Zuro. "Are you guys done or not?" I'm really angry this time.
"We are done, relax we're just teasing you," Rose said as she smiled.
I take a step toward her and whisper in her ear…"Think about it if I start teasing you ma'am then we probably get some p....on."
She takes a step back, completely blank and blushed. "You... jerk face I'm gonna kick your ass if you ever…..ever think about that again."
"What happened? Why is she so angry and storming out of the kitchen? What did you do this time Drake?"
"Relax….. Relax sis I'm just teasing her that's it."
Chris narrowed her eyes, "I don't believe you, Mr. Snow." I smirked and she went after her.
"Smoothie?" Andrew offered to me? "Why not?" I take a sip of strawberry smoothie and Oh my God, what the hell? I spill it out and get cold water from the fridge. I started coughing badly.
"I added some chili powder in this smoothie, that's it."
"That's it?" I spun my finger and he hung again up in the air upside down.
"Let me down Drake, now," Andrew said as he struggled to come down by swimming in the air and I started laughing at his struggle.
"No, my sweet brother. You gave the devil a chili powdered smoothie and expected me to forgive you, so sweet."
"What's going on here?" Chris asked.
"Help me, love, please."
"Aww, you look so cute upside down Andrew. Thank you, Drake." I smiled as I saluted her with my two fingers.
"Help! Somebody help this beautiful boy." Chris spins her finger and Andrew down on the floor. Everybody starts laughing except for fighting.
"Th…..The way you hanged him upside down was awesome."
"Are you mad Chris? My head is spinning right now." I saw Rose, she was laughing too.
Chris clapped her hands, "Okay everyone, now get to work." I saw Rose and Chris who were wearing aprons. I take a spoon and taste pasta in a saucepan.
"Hmm, it's yummy. Seriously, it's the first cafeteria that offered soup, pizza, and other stuff too."
"Yeah," Rose replied.
"What's this?" I point to some sort of? I don't know.
She laughed, "Drake it's a cooker. Ever heard about it?"
"Hmm, I think so." Then I saw another weird thing. "What's this?"
She replied, "What?"
"That dancing lady who's dancing on a cooker." She chuckles, "It's a whistle not a dancing lady, Drake." I saw Rose; she grabs a cup of coffee and went outside.
It's just me, alone in the kitchen. I'm getting bored here; there is nothing to do here. Rose is so cute and when I mentioned p********n she starts blushing.
I like her, truly. Uh oh! There's nobody here and that dancing girl now dancing so badly, what should I do now?
I called Rose but she was busy outside. I'm a little scared of that dancing lady so I take a few steps back and use my powers to remove that talented lady from the cooker.
The next thing that I know is a very, very bad explosion of ketchup soup in the kitchen.
"That's bad, Chris and Rose gonna kill me."
"What's going on here?" Andrew asked. He entered the kitchen and after seeing that mess he turned around to leave. I used my powers to stop him; he turned around to look at me.
"Help me?" I beg him and he makes a pout face.
"Girls gonna kill you, Drake."
"What the hell?" Chris said. I saw her and Rose standing in front of me with their mouths open. "You are so dead, Drake Snow," Chris said with a sarcastic tone.
I looked at Rose; she was ready to beat me too. Yeah, right Zuro's here too. I looked at Zuro and grinned. "Stop grinning, before I punch you," Rose said, again in a sarcastic tone. "I'm really sorry for that disaster, I really am so sorry."
"You are fired, a young boy and you too," he pointed at Andrew. After receiving so much respect from Zuro we head out.
"We are sorry again," Andrew said and then we left.
"Sorry again, girls," I said and Chris narrowed her eyes, "You are my brother that's why it's okay, just go home we'll be there soon."
I smiled and hugged Chris. I can't control myself so I softly touch Rose's face while hugging my sister. She looked at my hand and smiled. "Sorry," I said in a low voice and she blinked softly.
