2023-06-16 03:40:14“ he asked you on a date!”
Her voice echos in my ear, “ fuck, calm the hell down already”, she had been all over my bussiness ever since I told her,
“ I told you didn't I ?I told you it's going to turn out so well” she said, “ its not turning out well jauna, how many times do i need to tell you, i don't feel comfortable around him, and for crying out loud it's not a date!“
“ then what is it?” she asked, i picture her giving me a penny wise kinda smile,as she holds her phone close to her ear to get a reply, but she gets none, “ told you, cheer up rosy, it's just the universe trying to get you laid.
“ jauna!”
Hey sly giggles make my heart boil, “ i hate you”, “ i know you do, now get dressed before our newly found man gets tired of waiting”
“ he’s my boss, and well just so you know, I am not his kind of woman”,
“ yea, yea, grab some clothes, it’s getting late”
My mind drifted back to my closet, reaching out for my duffle back, as light as ever. I had packed for a three day trip, nothing more. All I have here are a pair of Onesis and some office dress, which should be properly dry cleaned if I must attend work tomorrow.
“There’s nothing here_nothing to wear”
A wave of disappointment flushed down my body as a quiver to the thought of appearing before Asher, in office attire, or maybe Worse, looking so dirty, he won’t ever ask me out on a dinner date again.
“well do__“
“Hang on”, who would be calling at such a late hour, reaching for the telecom, I have no business with the receptionist, do I?, “ hi ma’am , we have a rack coming up for you”
“ a rack?”
“ yes, a rack “
“ sent by who?”
“ the owner”
why would the owner send me a rack, a rack of what?I wonder if it’s a kind of vip suite thing, “ok?” , the call comes to an end, “ hello ?”Jauna yelled over the phone pulling my attention, had almost forgotten I was on a call not quite long.
“ i think something weird just happened’
“ whats that”
“ the owner just sent me a rack”
“ well isn’t he a gentleman, getting a girl clothes before a date, damn i am so excited for you, finally some fun to your life”
“ what makes you think he’s the one, it might just be a set of pajamas…”
“ Moron” she cursed as she clicked her tongue, “ you don’t have to be you, all the time you know, get your hair done and fuckoff”
the doorbell rang, compelled I walk over to open up, faced with a pill of clothes, compiled a wheeled rack.
“ excuse ma’am” a lady said, forcefully pushing a rack into the room, till she got to the middle of the room, her eyes darted all over the room, then back at me, “ uhm, sorry to asked ma’am” she said biting her nail, as she clutch and uncluthes her hands.
“ yes?
“ are you dating Or engaged to any other Lopez”
“ no, why?
“ nothing_”
_i will get back to work, have a nice day ma’am”
the lady leaves the room, with a pink face obviously nervous , “ aah , let's get you all dressed shall we?” Pulling my attention, I switched the camera, “damn i think i'm in love with your boss!!”.
*********************
There he was resting his back on the car, typing something on his phone, his hair packed up in a messy bun as always, legs crossed on the other, as he rested on one foot, dressed in a neatly ironed T-shirt, accompanied by a brown vintage trouser, truth be told, he looks best in a different color.
Ding!
My phone buzzes
“ hello” i said as i walked closer, making my presence known,, he passed a subtle wink, before smiling gently at me, my heart skips, as my itches to run against something all of a sudden, drumming gently on my purses, here comes the awkward moment.
“ You look so beautiful in blue, ” he said, my cheek burning, as a myriad of emotions overwhelmed me, tucking my hair behind my ear. “You look great in brown, ” I replied, he scoffs then looks back at his suit pants.
Never been so good at guessing emotions, but when ever he brushes the back of his neck, it makes me feel he’s nervous.
“ well, can we go now, the moon can't wait forever” he said, opening the door for me,what does he mean by the moon?, what does the moon have to do with a dinner date, am I the dinner?.
He slides in then shuts the door, after him, the odd silence makes the presence awkward as I drum continuously on my thighs, I feel his intense gaze on my fingers, as he sighs deeply.
“ uhm so where are we going”, I said, trying not to freak out,
“ well the other side i guess” he said, my heart skipped a beat as i clenched my fist, “ other side?”’
“ you would love it”
He passes a smile, then hits the accelerator, hurriedly reaching for my phone, i text Jauna, “ if I don't give you a reply in the next hour , please know I have gone to the ‘other side’, and you are not far from the reason why!”, i am totally freaking out!, my minds a fuckin mess already.
“ so rose, tell me what are some fun fact about you/” he asked, taking a U turn, “ well, i am the definition of no fun at all”.
“That’s impossible, going through some of your details, I found some pretty good interest in singing” he said as his gleamed of deviltry, dazed I let my eyes do the screaming as It popped wide open.
So I really have no secret working with him, that should be an offense
“I might have crossed a line, I just happened to do research for my line of interest , but with you , Rosalie Garcia , i just can't help it” he grins boyishly at me then stares back on the road, leaving me in awe, line of interest?.
“ uhm thanks”
The ride continues, till we pulled over at a shiny park, “here we are ”, he gives a boyish grin ones more, my eyes stroll upward to a shiny side, boldly written,
‘ OTHER SIDE’
“ welcome to the other side rosalie “
With a slight swing of his fingers the car comes to a halt,
so this is the other side?.

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_

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

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.

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.

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.
