If I had seen an Acromantula , I wouldn't be as dazed as seeing Mr white guy in a different color, not just the usual color a guy like him could yank out of a closet with a sharp grin and a big ol ' I will just go with this' kinda look.
He was actually seated, hands and legs crossed on a drafting chair, dressed in a a blue T-shirt!, batting my eyelashes hurriedly at the odd body seated calmly before me, he looked back at me, with a bumped eyebrow.
“ take a seat rose” pulling me out of dilemma I locate the nearest seat, my feet had imitated a jello in seconds, beside me sat jose, who shared a similar dazed looked,popping my eyes wide open at him, he responded with a shrugged shoulder equally frightened by the new change.
But if I may ask why the change though?
" Now shall we begin ''
How can i just act like nothing just happened looking back at asher, he gave nothing away, like he hadn't just muted everyone on the table, but acted so well to be oblivious about it, the meeting starts with series of questions picking my interest,
" recently getting a child attention requires a famous adult, not just a child"
" how, you have children ?"
" no, but been around a lot to know what makes them pest around for something they really want"
"Well, asher, why don't we go with her idea, seems like she got something new"
Asher looks at me, with a calmer look, nothing i had seen in a while, and for weird reason my body response with a breath of relieve as i subconsciously passed a smile,
" ok, we would do just that"
The meeting comes to an end, then it comes to my realization,it's either now or never, looking back at jose, he had a wide grin on his face now, as he bid the clients farewell , now we were down to three members.
“ The worker will soon be here, do you want me to drive you home?” he said, asher bluntly refused his offer, making my heart skip. Looking back at Jose, he passed a shy smile before standing up, his hands squeezing my shoulder.
What's that supposed to mean, “ hope I see you later rose” he said before leaving. What does he mean by that? Why does he hope he would see me? , looking back at him, he walked out of the office without looking back.
Jose!
“ hey rose” asher said , his voice deeper than usual, ‘ uhm hey hi”, I said after occasional gulps,
He cocked his head to the side as his eyes pierced through my little mask of calmness " what kept you so long , i had sent a message earlier, and i was so sure you saw it” he said, with a calm smirk, i haven't seen him smile, he never does,
Why is he excited.
“ uhm, i was hungry’’
"Hungry?, seriously,furrows his brow into an arch, like he was trying to process what i had just said, not withstanding the urge to hide his disgust “ it's still early, i could get you something to eat” he said, he wants to feed me before, he sucks my blood,
“ don't worry, i would be fine" I replied as I expelled my breath in a quick whose , picking up his phone, he dialed a couple digits," well we would be expecting some food, to fuel us for the day” he said, then smiles at me, for weird reasons his smile frightened the hell, out of me.
Please stop it…
“ uhm , what am i going to do for you” i said looking around frantically around, for nothing in particular, but then my eyes falls on the open pathway in the glass cube of an office the door is open, how fast can i be , out of here, “ well, how about we access the worker today, getting to know how dedicated they have been while I was away ”
“ ok, any other thing?” i asked, tapping anxiously on my tablet, his eyes trail down my drumming hands, “ well that's a noticeable habit, why do you that alot” he said this time, he was drumming as well,but on a slow and systematic pace, like he was counting his movement as the seconds passes by.
“ uhm, old habit” i said, looking back at his calm fingers, “ well, old habits you say, “
He stands up, his hands held each other behind him as he paced around, not saying a word, he stares at me then halts for a moment, making my heart skip, “ old habit rose?” Maybe he's reading my mind again, I feel penetrated already.
There is no other time to say this rose, just say it , thousands of people out there need your blood more, looking outside the see through walls , the sun is almost up, looking back at him, he was staring just at the line of sight , with an obvious grimace, he hates the view.
Its almost dawn, , the sun is about to rise ,
“ i don't think you have an old habit rose”
“ what, why, what?”
Short of words, as i try to control my heart beat, “ yes, you are anxious, why?, you don't act that way with everyone, so what really scares you” he said walking towards me till we were just a feet apart, “ do i scare you rose?”
His fingers hold my chin up to look at him, his eyes not leaving mine as his thumb caresses the side of my chin, his closeness makes my body heat up in a way that leaves my feet trembling.
Yes, yes you fuckin do, you shake the jelly in my brain, you being totally different send chill down my body, your world revolving around one color makes me feel lost anytime i ask why?, your insane facial features makes me wonder, why haven't I seen such perfection in like forever, and then the way you tone your voice when you are this close only makes it worse.
His eye brow knotted in a frown as I squinted In a furtive manner "no you don't scare me” i said, moving backwards, so i could breath, you can do this rose, looking directly at him, “ i want to tell you something” i said bracing up to confront my demons like i had been practicing before i came here this morning.
“ Well before you say anything further, would you like to have dinner tonight, just the both of us? If you don't mind, maybe we could get to know each other" his hands scratching the back of his head as his dilated eyes darted around the room.
Damn I want to say no so badly, I want to end all this now, but…
“ uhm ok?” I replied, .
“ now thats perfect”
"you had wanted to say something earlier”
Replying immediately
" no longer relevant” I whispered.
It's going to be a long month

Asher pov The other side was an idea i thought would work best if I had wanted her to be free, maybe getting to know how well she does around people that were not me, opening the door, i stretch my hands letting her out, she stares at the sign then at me. “ Welcome to the other side, bonita'’ , she blushed as she bent her head, tucking her hair behind her ear, “ shall we?” she nodded, holding her hands gently in mine trying to keep the boundaries, and still make her feel safe, as we proceeded to the gate. Funny how she stares at everything, there were canopies setup, and traditional music buzzing in every corner, with people dancing freely, all dressed in traditional attires, “ how do you see this?” I asked as she marveled at the sight then at me, speechless. ‘Hope you haven't had dinner, because we have a bunch of food to eat” some firework blasts to the sky, taking us by surprise, as we flinched in unison, she looks at me, passes, a heart warming smile, “ hey don't l

For a moment, it felt like we were five again, running in a market square hand in hand, laughing at the top of our voice, as we surfed through the busy crowd. “ come see the weavers ” he said, we come to a halt when i start seeing different color of scarfs, hung in different stores, “ here's the weaver lane, back home, mom always got one of this anytime she visited anna and i” he said running his hands on a weaved fabric. “ This used to be my favorite style_

A shrieking sound overwhelm my sense of hearing, as i subconsciously stretched my hands, to end my misery, as my phone buzzes under my pillow, fuck its 4am already?, maybe thirty minute rest would do just fine, Swiping the snooze button, my hands slip off the screen, just a little sleep wouldn't hurt, would it? One hour past “ Damn!, damn damn!” , lookin at my screen, I am an hour late!How did I sleep through the alarm , damn , running towards the closet, “white white white, there!”, suit pants and a loose white jacket to match, running towards the bathroom,I smell like smoke and cheese cheese.

The glamorous interiors reminds me of the split rainbow I had seen earlier, at the Andean festival, the facade of the building wrecks ‘ I am fuckin rich, you can't really do anything about it’, while the scent of people around me gives a ‘yes I can afford all I want’. Glamorous ladies dressed in long silk gowns, with expensive furs caressing their tender necks , all sipping gently from their flutes while chatting endlessly with each other, there I was all alone with a cup of white wine held between my wet fingers. Never felt this out of place, not even when dressed in a cut out dress, in a pj party, gulping down my third flute of wine , my eyes dart around for three things, a new drink, a waiter, and anna, who invites a guest to a housewarming party and leaves them at the mercy of no one actually as every seems to have a pair. Staring at my phone, twenty minutes had never felt longer than it should, maybe if I take more drink, I would spend more time, trying not to lo

" sir?" Sir?, I hear a familiar voice, Joe knocks on the glass of the already opened door, " hi joe" I said standing from the car, as I straighten my collar, taking in long breath, I sigh at the thought of seeing multitudes, for the second time this year, this is the second house, mom had fallen in love with. For a second I see it as a hobby or maybe a cry for help, second time this very year, attending a party for no reason, " sir?" I feel a slight tap on my shoulder, " any problem sir" the brown haired man said, he had bridges on his forehead as he stares blankly at me, Frozen " I am fine Joe, go park the car" I said waving my hands, dismissing his petite figure,walking further into the glam

" I would be there in twenty_" " mom wants you there now, and rose too" she said stomping her feet on the floor as she folds her arms together, staring at her lips poked out, “being silly doesn't do much , I would be there in twenty minutes" I added, she rolled her eyes then yanks rose by the arm.

Tossing my bag on the bed, it's been more than just a long day, it's been a day, i wouldn’t want to reoccur , if only i was given an headstart before any day, I wouldn’t bother standing up in the first place, or maybe, just maybe, i could navigate through all that has happened today. Seeing a different side of Asher, he had always been one to conceal his intentions , always composed, but seeing him argue with Axel today , he must really be upset, it’s normal for brothers to fight once in a while, but totally not agreeable is weird. Why should i care, i had less than thirty days staying here, and that should be the least of my worries, slumping back on the bed, I can’t help but think back to when he held my hands, what does that mean, no one just hold hand that way, he even placed them in his pocket. It’s now more of a habit, than just a gesture, making my heart skip, hopes of a possible fantasy being fulfilled, that sensation down the gut whenever a crush tal

Rose pov Seated at the back of Asher’s car, with Axel at the front seat, he hadn’t said a word ever since the little fight over whose car to board, just occasional sighs and hisses ,quite different from what i had expected , we finally arrived at the hospital,and miss lopez had just batted an handkerchief over her eyes as she darts them around. she had been the first to catch my attention from the view, before asher did, he quickly opens the door, then hops around, Axel did the same, he pulls the handle of the car but it seemed jammed, asher turns over pressing a button on his key before he leans over opening the door. For a second they stare heatedly at each other, then at me, I could feel my will sink down my gut, as they wouldn’t avert their gazes, even when I squirm, “ oh asher'' I hear miss lopez say, asher looks at her, then opens the door, before he walks over to his mother.

Asher pov “What are you looking for here, aren't you supposed to before a moving train?”, axel stood beside me, arm crossed on his chest, heaven knows what he really wants coming here, but whatever it is, wouldn’t arouse my hopes of something positive. Isn’t it too early to be jobless, “ hey beasty, your worst nemesis” he said looking back at the see through glass, his tone was nothing far from mockery, and with the smug smile, he was well aware he had hit a mail right where it needed, “ leave”. “ I am so scared” he said, waving his fingers all over my face, “ I am not here for you, I have better things” narrowing his eyes across the office, his face lit up immediately he bestowed his eyes on her. As suspected. “ Hey rose!” he yells, walking towards rose, who just stood immobile, she had her hands straightened before her, for some reasons she looks flushed.

Breath through it rose, what’s the worst that can happen?. Walking past the lobby, with my head bowed gently, greeting people so early without my morning coffee wasn’t something I would do, on a day like this Anxiety flicks in, as my thoughts are haywire. I had ignored his message, but I kept staring at it all through the night. Did he want to say sorry for being so inhuman yesterday?, or maybe he just wants to come fix up a dumb puzzle, he could be up to anything for all i care, he asher Lopez, he's capable of anything. Not today, the shoot for the advert would be made today, i had put my all in this , making countless calls, being creative, and i won't let some stupid event ruin it, never, walking towards my desk, i take a quick peck at his office, he's not around Phew.

Seated in a coffee house with Miss Lopez, her hands rested on her eyes as she stared warmly at me, just like the first day I saw her. “Coffee?” she asked so sweetly, I wouldn't dare reject it. “Sure thing,” I said. Just like a magic wand, she waves a hand, and in seconds a waiter is standing beside her, saying, “We would like two cups of coffee." Her voice is firm and authoritative, and in a jiffy he is out of sight and out of mind. “Oh darling, I am so delighted you showed up,” she said, stretching her hand as she held mine in hers. Just like the thought of bliss, I found myself smiling back at her. “It's an honor to have tea with you,” I said, not hiding my delight. She grin with her hands on her chest. “You are so sweet,” she said, still smiling. It’s beginning to seem like it’s a usual gesture, as she reciprocated the same with the waiter who just dropped off our cups. “Thank you,” i replied, whilst taking a sip from my mug. “ Yes, I must be wondering why I

Rose pov Was he pissed? That's a stupid question to ask; obviously he was pissed; how else would he send me back to the lodge, just after a call? “dumb ass”. I said, smacking myself in the head as I stared at the chicken and waffles he had just sent. Does he know it was Axel calling? Who am I kidding? He knows; he's not stupid; he probably knows everything, even if he never speaks out of the ordinary. He knows every damn thing going on. Closing my eyes, as I ease the frustration, I realize maybe I shouldn’t have hugged it, no matter how inviting it felt, I know I shouldn’t have, and maybe that’s why he got pissed That explains everything So Stupid That must be the reason. I probably crossed my limit. I took my phone and pulled up our past messages—nothing more than office work and tasks. Bringing up personal matters shouldn't be sent through here; I should say them in person. No, the earlier the better. What if he s

Asher pov I have seen people less bothered about where they sleep, but Rosalie is one of a kind, even when given a task, she had slept in the middle of the road, on a very lonely and chilly night with no care whatsoever, what would i have expected. Looking at the unfinished puzzle, that’s absurd, everything looks so mismatched, even with the reference laying dormant beneath her wet drool covered cheek, so silly. Walking towards her, her hair laying diligently on her face, lifting it off, my eyes caught a name that made my mind whirl in seconds. Guess the punch wasn't enough, how stupid…Taking my phone, “ i had told you to stay away from her” i said, trying hard enough not to yell, as I observed little miss taking a nap. “ Axel I wouldn’t hold back next time if I see you close to her”, my heart boiled like it had just been tossed in a furnace , “ keep your words to yourself, I don’t care”, cutting him off, I shove my phone back into my pockets.

Looking down at my body, I was still dressed in my office attire with the odd brightness before me. It's morning already . morning?!, yelping from the bed, as I strip my office attire, my feet aches so badly, as they had been confined in this Pencil heel all night long, it burns so much, had me leaping as I scavenge for clothes to put on The doorbell rings again, for the fifth time, pulling my attention to the main source of what actually woke me up so early, who had been so patient to continuing ringing at the door, walking towards the door, peeking through the peephole, I see a lady dressed in all white, probably a staff in the hotel, opening the door, i let h
