Chapter 4 The Phantom of This Opera

For a moment I’m in another world. I hear the applause and open my eyes. For a brief second in time sadness breaks through me. I realize Scarpati isn’t here to see me play. My heart aches at the knowledge he will never see me play again. I snap out of my stupor and remember I’ve got a small speech to make. I walk towards the middle of the stage.
“Thank you so much. The best musicians in the world are here tonight and I’m blessed to call them my friends.”
“I’m sorry, usually I’ll give an opening speech but.... I was to busy trying to figure out who in the hell Josephine Valentino was.”
I could here laughter coming from our table, especially the twins.
“My name is Rosalie Savanna Valentino and it just so happens....” I walk the floor to make sure everyone hears. “I AM the phantom of this fucking opera!”
Applause and a few gasps could be heard but I was chuckling myself. Becca won’t be to happy about that but I give few shits.
“And I am honored to represent the Valentino’s tonight. We may not have the most expensive cars or grand houses but if the valet guy locks your keys in your new Ferrari, we can break in and get them out.” The crowd laughs and I continue. “But you just may not get your car back.”
“That’s what’s up” The twins holler while they stand up.
“But no I really enjoyed Ben’s mother’s introduction. You see most people get offended by the term amateur. It implies things like inexperienced, inadequate, not capable of completing something to the fullest.... but maybe an amateur is actually a good thing.... You don’t have the expectations on you to be perfect. It’s like having a blank canvas. No rules. You can paint whatever you want. Draw without limits. Play without direction.” I walk back to the center.
“So I look forward to seeing what the Alexander’s and the Valentino’s create together. Preparing for the wedding of the century.” Cheers erupt.
I lift my hand with my mock drink in the air.
“Here is to Ben, my new brother to be and my beautiful baby sister Rebecca. May you create a masterpiece and may the good Lord keep Becca’s virtue in tact so we don’t end up with a shot gun wedding. Have a great night!”
Rebecca gasped while Ben laughed. Between the applause and laughter from the cousins, I left the stage but not before grabbing a bottle of champagne and walking out to find a dark secluded place far from people.

The Billionaire And The Cellist Chapter 5 Where Art Thou Julius?
JuliusAs soon as Rosalie finished her performance I had to go get some air. I walked out looking for a balcony. I zig zagged through the halls and bummed a cigarette and lighter off a passer by. I don’t usually smoke but tonight I needed to take a load off literally. Finally I reached the back of the venue and found two huge wooden doors. I pushed the heavy doors open and found a secluded balcony and fresh air. I was lost in my thoughts. Reflecting on my life. To the world of social media I’ve been given the name of playboy billionaire. I have more money and women then most men can only dream of. Yesterday I did a photoshoot with GQ magazine to be featured as one of the worlds sexiest bachelors. My family has always gained attention in the public eye for our wealth

Rosalie To say I’m taken back by how dangerously handsome Ben’s brother Julius is would be an understatement. It’s not fair that he is 100% off limits being Becca’s soon to be brother in law. He is tall, maybe 6”2, dark brown wavy hair that falls a couple inches below his ears. His eyes are the most dangerous feature on him. They are a stormy grey. Rare. Intriguing. His voice is like a murky strong whiskey. When he lets out a husky laugh I can’t help but shiver in delight. Wait a second. Haunting good looks, melodious laugh, grey eyes? If he didn’t have a tan I’d be sure he was a fucking vampire. Drawing in any unsuspecting woman. This off limits thing sucks. It’s like dangling the clearest, cleanest coldest water in front of me in the burning hot desert. And I am parched. “I have all t

Julius We run to the balcony doors while the lightning and rain start pouring down. I go for the handle. “It’s locked!” I yell to Rosalie over the wind. She tries the handle too. Nothing. We bang on the doors hoping someone will hear us. With as far back as this balcony is plus the thick wooden doors, it’s not likely anyone can hear us. Suddenly, Rosalie starts kicking the door. I like her style, but it would take an elephant to knock these doors down. “Heeeeelp!!” She gives up and starts yelling over the balcony. My phone has no reception and as I try making an unsuccessful call for help to unlock

Rosalie The storm passes and the lights come on breaking our kiss. I’m not sure how far I would’ve gone with Julius if we weren’t interrupted and that terrifies me. I have put him in the “off limits” category in my brain and have so far done a crap job in keeping it that way but holy shit that kiss shook me to the core. I need to chalk it up to the moment. You know, like thinking we were going to die in the tornado. Seeing Julius practically naked just confirms he wouldn’t be seriously interested in me. He is way to perfect. And comes from a rich family. I don’t want to end up like Becca trying to please stuffy wealthy people. Having his large manhood pressed against me about drove me crazy. It’s not fair how perfect he is. There’s no doubt he
Last Updated : 2021-03-21The Billionaire And The Cellist Chapter 9 Another Day With Rosalie
Julius When the twins told Rosalie about my billionaire playboy status I wanted to puke. I’ve never been ashamed of it until now because I knew it wouldn’t impress her in the slightest. I never cared before but after meeting her, something is starting to change in me and it is both terrifying and exhilarating. Tonight has been a whirlwind of emotions and I need to step back and access. I hated how we left things, with Rosalie friend zoning me again and pretty much spelling out that she’s not interested. But even she can’t deny our chemistry and that kiss of death. I haven’t pursued a woman in a long time and she’s about to break my stride. She wants to be friends? I’ll go with it. Just to be close to her. I walk in after putting her cello in the

Rosalie After answering a million questions from Violet on the car ride home and telling her everything, I drop her by her house and head home. Violet is an odd bird and that’s the many reasons why I love her. After hearing everything that happened with me and Julius she thinks and I quote: “Your auras together are like an explosion of rainbow colors. That’s very rare. I feel something is going to happen between the two of you. It’s frightening and beautiful” unquote. See what I mean? She’s great and a total blonde bombshell. Not to mention one of the greatest blues singers I’ve ever heard. I’m surprised Julius didn’t put the moves on her but then again, he was stuck with me all night. As soon as I arrive home I’m met with my favorite person.

Rosalie I wake up from a very naughty dream to my phone alarm. Damn it, I was just getting to the good part. I head downstairs and make my coffee. Caesar is sleeping on the floor next to the fireplace. “Good morning.” I greet him and he lowers his head to go back to sleep. I know exactly how he feels. I showered and washed my hair last night so I pull back my hair into a high ponytail today. I throw on light make up and lipstick. Put on my yoga pants and a spaghetti strap shirt. Then I throw on some boots. I decide to not wear a bra. I give no shits. I pack a dress to change into after yoga and some heels. I tell Caesar bye and take off in

Julius After the spider freak out, Rosalie’s joke, and our fit of laughter; She went to change her clothes and I changed into my black tailored dress pants and fitted button up shirt. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so hard. Much less with a beautiful woman. It felt good. Really good. I’ve never had that and I found myself wanting so much more. I meet Rosalie in the hall. She’s wearing a cute sunflower dress that comes up a little above her knees with yellow cowboy boots. She looks at me with a satisfied smile. “Looking dapper Alexander.” She says “L

I was able to perform for Scarpati’s induction into the Italian Symphony hall of fame.... and now..... “Push!!! Breathe!!! You’re getting close!!” The doctor yells over my screams. I squeeze Julius hand “I HATE YOU!!” I scream at me perfect husband. There was no time for the epidural so you can understand these hateful words. “I’m so sorry baby. You’re doing so great.

Julius Days have rolled into months. Visitors, flowers, the look of lost hope in everyone’s eyes starting to show. Begging me to let them cover for me so I can get out of the hospital. No way am I leaving her side. I’ve grown a beard and spend most days painting, singing, and talking to Rosalie and the baby. I have become the main caretaker for her. Bathing her, brushing her hair, dressing her. Not that I don’t trust the staff but I want to be the one to do those things for her. Today is Christmas. Rosalie’s birthday. A little over 2 months since she’s been here. She has the cutest little bump right now. After doing the math, the baby was definitely conceived on my birthday and is due sometime in June.

Rosalie I walked into the side kitchen to check on Becca’s wedding cake and was met with an irate screaming lady. Julius and Bens mom. “We have no ice to chill the champagne!! How janky of a wedding is this? You and Julius had better do something quick.” She demands. “It’s not a big deal. I’ll just run down the road to the store and get some.” I shrug ready to be away from her. I really really wanted to call her a few choice words but she is their mom. Sucks to be nice sometimes. I reach the four way stop. Look both ways and start to

Julius Machines beeping, bandages everywhere, my beautiful love unresponsive in a deep sleep. Our baby safe in her womb. Even through the horrible wreck she kept our baby safe. She’s so amazing. Her beautiful feet lay bare except a few gold toe rings. I reach for them. Kissing her feet, bawling crying while my tears washed them. “I’m so sorry baby. Please wake up. I can’t be without you...please get better. I love you so much.” I break down. We all do. Ben puts his hands on my shoulders. “Congratulations man. I know it’s gonna be okay brother. It has to.” Ben comforts me. Surprisingly it helps. I think everyone noti

JuliusI lay awake in the early morning hours with my beautiful love laying next to me. I sneak out and retrieve the small box from my coat pocket that I’ve brought with me. I look inside at the glistening diamond ring. I’m going to do it. Nerves be damned. When it comes time for the maid and man of honor speeches I’m going to ask her to marry me. I don’t care if it takes away a bit from Ben and Becca. I have to make her mine forever. In front of everyone. I close the box and put it back in the jacket pocket. I lay next to her. Both of us still naked. I watch her. Memorize every curve of her face while I stroke the dark waves of her hair. Smelling her scent. Ravishing in her beauty. She suddenly makes a sour face and stirs

Julius has seemed a bit nervous about the wedding but won’t let on exactly why other than “weddings make me nervous”. I don’t buy it but he can tell me on his own time.The twins and Violet are in the lobby as we get our room key. They run up to us, even huggin

BeccaI can’t find Rosalie anywhere and now I’m worried. She’s not been herself since the break up. It’s been hours and everyone’s left. To be honest I don’t want a stupid bachelorette party. I was furious over Julius picture and it made me have my suspicions about Ben. If his brother could move on so fast who’s to say Ben is in it for the long run? We’ve been fighting all week. I walk into the bachelor room where I find Ben standing drinking rum. This can’t be good. “Did you finalize your big PLANS sweetheart?” He throws his arms up dramatically. “You’re one night to be single again?” He turns away from me and leans against the bar. We both decided early on we didn’t want a bachelor

Julius I enter the Catholic Church. I even dip my fingers in the holy water, praying my ass off that some kind of miracle could fix this. Bring Rosalie back to me. I see her father kneeling at the pew. I move to sit next to him. He turns and gives me a knowing smile and pats me on the back. “It’s good to see you my boy.” He whispers. I return his greetings with a defeated smile. The service goes on as usual and I think of the last time I was here with her. Laughing like children at the priests Kermit the frog voice. My heart aches. I wonder if I can ever laugh again. When we finish he walks me outside and invites me to lunch. We go to his favorite Italian spot and he makes conversation easily. Not wasting a beat. “Trouble i

Rosalie After crying myself to sleep all night, I wake up and do the worst thing. I check my newsfeed and see the man I’ve fallen for fucking a stripper. “Playboy Billionaire Is At It Again”“Though he captured our attention the night before with the beautiful Rosalie Valentino in a picture compared to the classic “The Kiss” (photo of a nurse sending a sailor off to war) he is at his old tricks again. Not that we mind, but I wonder how his short lived flame is feeling. Ah, young love. Julius does know how to keep us on our toes. I wonder who will be the next lucky lady to grace his bedsheets? Here’s to hoping gals!” I throw my phone down and run to the bathroom to puke in between cry
