The chemistry of all colors 124 - The chapter where Rose finds out about the surprise
RoseI remained standing in the same place, watching Christian walk away. Yes, I was still annoyed with him for his insistence on that subject, and I was willing to make him suffer at that party, but his last sentence broke me.Of course, I didn't think that people would replace me just because my parents made those jokes, after all, I know it's not for real and they love me, but... Why did that make me want to cry? " Rose, aren't you coming? " Sky turned to me as Christian followed without looking back."Of course,” I forced a smile, walking back towards the stairs.We followed the staff's instructions, passing through a glass door and down a small staircase before reaching another opening covered by a curtain where the lively music was coming from.Liam pulled the curtain aside for us to pass through, and as soon as I found myself in the hall, I lost my breath a little. The place was large with double"height ceilings, exposed brick walls interspersed with large panes of glass that

RoseI enjoyed the party, the pool, the music, and most of all, the female company there. I mingled with a group of girls from Gamma Delta, one of the smaller sororities on campus, and it wasn't long before Camille and Sky joined me. Making much of my evening enjoyable. Although Alicia had tried to approach Christian several times, our friends had managed to thwart all of her attempts up to that point.I was already tired of that situation. Our group was relatively close to where the boys were sitting, talking in a group. My gaze crossed with Christian's all the time, but I disguised as best I could the desire to be with him."So you all got tattoos together? That's so cool " Claire, one of the girls, commented when she saw the art on Sky's ankle."Each one represents our course, this is mine," I turned around, brushing the hair out of the back of my head." You have several,” Juddy hissed." And I intend to have more, but the next one I want to do will be somewhere a bit more... inti
The chemistry of all colors 126 - The chapter where Theo finds out
RoseWe enjoyed that party as we should have done from the beginning. We danced together, for the first time without bothering to look for other people to keep us company for fear that someone might find out something about us. In fact, I let go of everything that kept me in check when it came to Christian, and although at first the reactions around us ranged from amusement to irritation, but I didn't see much surprise in any of our colleagues. Maybe Christian was correct after all, we weren't fooling anyone."Looks like we surprised a grand total of zero people,” I commented as we walked along the edge of the pool.Christian had his arm around my shoulder, guiding me back to our group of friends. " I told you,” he shrugged, seeming not to care, “and you better get ready for when Peterson finds out about your little lie.”" In that case, you can defend me, after all I'm officially your girlfriend now." I tilted my face to watch him, giving him my best smile." It won't work, you made
The chemistry of all colors 127 - The chapter with Alicia's threat
RoseWe had a good time at the party, and after the initial shock, Theo even managed to make fun of the situation, although he still continued to claim that I owed him an eternal debt. What he didn't seem to notice was how uncomfortable Camille was with the subject. It was because I noticed this that I called her to go to the restroom with me, taking her away from the group for a few minutes." What's the problem? " I asked as I walked up beside her." Problem? I don't have a problem." The poor girl's eyes widened." Camille, haven't you realized that we don't lie to each other? It's clear that you're bothered, I just don't understand why." I tried another approach." 'It's nothing, it's just…”" Was it because I asked if Theo wanted to have sex with me? Because that was a joke, really, he was the only one who never tried anything with me before " I exposed my biggest concern. I didn't want to upset my friend and I was afraid I had done exactly that by talking to her boyfriend like t

Rose" Rose, Camille! Wow, you look beautiful!”I frowned at that unwanted interaction. What does she think she's doing?" What? " I blinked, stunned." You two have really decided to bring this party down, haven't you? " Shavannah gave us a wink.The two of them kept standing in front of the door, preventing us from leaving the place while they seemed willing to keep talking.What's going on? Is this a prank?" Rose, I have to say that I've always noticed a vibe between you and Davis, and I should have known that when you decided to take over it wouldn't be any less bombastic than it was today " Audrey continued to add to our confusion." And I have to say you have great taste, I would have invested in it myself at that festival in town if I hadn't realized you two were together.”That absurd interaction had left me speechless for a few seconds, I crossed my arms in a defensive pose narrowing my eyes at the two girls in front of me." What do you think you're doing? If this is about
The chemistry of all colors 129 - The chapter with Liam's parents
Christian" I'm serious, there's no other talk on campus " Harry commented as we put our lab coats away in the closet after another afternoon in the lab. " That's clearly an exaggeration, people knew we were having sex. We've only just declared exclusivity,” I blurted out.It was the first Monday after the party and everyone seemed to be eager to confirm the rumors they had heard about our participation in Simons' birthday." They might have suspected you were having sex, but you weren't the dating type, have you forgotten?' " Taylor muttered, following us." 'Yeah, that's true, I've never had a girlfriend before, but she's an exception,” I shrugged, “and it's not like we committed any crime by keeping it between us until now.”" A warning about the two of them would have been nice, so I wouldn't have…”" Gotten your hopes up? Look, man, don't get me wrong, but I warned you," I interrupted Taylor, as we walked towards the exit of the building."I tried to tell you that you weren't th

RoseI followed Maeve to the car feeling confused about the whole situation. Why are my parents here? Do they already know the Van Derr Waal? How come I don't know any of this? I hated feeling so lost!Maeve opened the car door, taking out a box before handing it to me with a smile that never seemed to leave her face." Thank you for your help, Rose.”" It's nothing, Mrs. Van Derr Waal…”" Maeve, please. Lee talks about you so much, I feel like I already know each of you. In fact, when you joined the group, my boy talked about you so much that I swore you were the one who would be my future daughter-in-law. You know, you have so much in common and you are so beautiful! " The woman spoke with a sense of pride, as if she were talking about her son's second grade science fair presentation." Me?" I stopped walking, staring at her in surprise." "Yes, but he soon dashed my hopes by telling us about your relationship with Davis, and I must admit that you two make an amazing couple, but I
The chemistry of all colors 131 - The chapter with the division of the rooms
RoseAfter getting over the shock of Liam's new reality, we signed the damn contract and quickly went upstairs, starting to discuss the division of rooms, leaving our parents downstairs." We have four suites and three good-sized bedrooms and a communal bathroom,” Theo declared as we walked into the hall upstairs. Liam had settled into one of the two armchairs that faced the staircase, but I kept my distance from them, as it seemed like the perfect place for a couple of spirits to rest after haunting the whole place " We just need to work out who gets which room...”" I'll take the master suite," Liam warned, and we didn't bother trying to retort." I think it's obvious that the suites should be for the girls," Sky pointed out.I opened the door to one of the bedrooms, next to the master suite that had windows facing the side of the house. Going to one of the windows, I opened it, observing the view." This is unfair, just because we're men we don't deserve the chance to have a privat

Christian"Did you hear Liam's speech? "Rose asked.I turned my head to the side to watch her, she was sitting on the floor next to the bed, wearing only my boxer shorts while drawing on a pad. No one had come home yet and we were enjoying the silence.I felt exhausted after everything that had happened over the last few days, I couldn't believe that this nightmare had finally come to an end. After getting home and taking a long shower with Rose, the only thing I could do was lie down and stare at the ceiling in my room, imagining how everything would happen from then on."Could you not hear? "I sneered."Do you think he was serious about his vision of the future? "she turned her face to look at me."I don't know, maybe. But...I kept quiet, wondering what exactly I was going to say. Because more and more the whole scenario he described came to life in my mind, and every second I found it more enjoyable."But? "New Orleans is a nice city. We could live near each other and... I can se
The chemistry of all colors 158 - The chapter with the drunken marriage proposal
ChristianI sat down, taking the bottle of beer from my sister, taking a sip before she grabbed the bottle from my hand and slapped me upside the head."Your father-in-law has guaranteed that you'll beat Bobby and Otto at pool, they've never lost at the bar "My father pointed to the table where Rose and Jack were getting ready to start the game."My father-in-law is... a bit competitive. Rose got that from him," I commented."A bit? That's a joke, right? Last time the two of them ended up in a snow race just to break a tie in a series of board games "Cam rolled his eyes."Snow race? "My mother raised both eyebrows."While they were taking off their clothes," Theo added."Taking their clothes off? "Amber choked next to me."They had a series of target games in the middle of the course, and every time they missed they had to take off a piece. At the end of the race, he was only wearing shorts and boots and she was wearing a gym top, shorts and boots "I explained, taking the bottle of be
The chemistry of all colors 157 - The chapter with the celebration
ChristianI stopped the bike in a parking space in front of the bar where Rose met Josh at the beginning of the year. I frowned as everyone got off their bikes there. That place wasn't one of my favorites and Rose must have known that, since we hadn't been back there since everything happened.She got off before me, taking off her helmet, running her fingers through her hair to adjust it and standing next to me when she noticed my hesitation in getting off the bike."Come on, it's about time we gave this place a second chance "she winked at me "let's enjoy it like we should have done that day. That was enough to convince me, so I took off my helmet and got off the bike. From there we could hear a band playing a cover of Aerosmith. Everyone started to enter the venue, not bothering to wait for me. I took a deep breath, slung my arm around Rose's shoulder and started heading towards the entrance. Both Rose and I ended up with the backs of our hands stamped indicating that we were unde
The chemistry of all colors 156 - The chapter in which Christian gets out of jail
ChristianI was lying in bed, watching the sunset light coming through the small window in the corridor facing the cell I occupied. My cell was the only one occupied in the police station, and that was no surprise. In a town as quiet as Grayfox Mills, it was difficult to see any movement at the police station during the week, when all the university students were busy with their classes.Everything I wanted. To get on with my classes without having to deal with some asshole who decided to play with my girl! But that asshole made it impossible.I'd been there for over twenty-four hours, and that had been enough time to calm my mind, at least as far as Jax was concerned. But even though I'd taken a few naps during the day, I couldn't stop imagining how Rose was doing, the look on her face as I was handcuffed never left my mind, and I just wanted the chance to talk to my girlfriend and make sure she was okay.My biggest concern with everything that had happened was just her. I didn't reg
The chemistry of all colors 155 - The chapter where Rose decides what to do
RoseMy gaze wandered around that hellish scene without knowing what to do. Everything unfolded in slow motion in front of me. On one side, Jax was lying, moaning in pain in a pool of his own blood, being supported by a waiter. His friends were on the other side, keeping some distance with an expression that ranged from surprise to fear, keeping as much distance as possible from Christian, who was standing next to me with both hands raised in a sign of surrender after handing Theo the keys to the bike. The sidewalk outside was starting to fill up as well, several people crowded near the glass window watching what was happening, some taking pictures or filming with their cell phones as the police approached us." Dad, do something " I begged for a magic solution, one that would stop my boyfriend from being taken by those men. "Chris..." I tried to put one of his hands down to pull him to me, but he stood his ground, looking the other way while someone talked to one of the policemen,

Christian" Chris, you heard the dean, he'll probably be expelled... CHRIS! " Rose raised her voice as I stood up, heading for the exit." What's his problem?”" Damn it, Christian, get back here! " I heard Rose call before I got into the elevator that was standing on the floor, not waiting for her to arrive to press the button to close the doors.I checked the time on my watch, great, it's right on lunch break time, I'll find this bastard and finish him off wherever he is. Deciding not to waste any time, I got on the bike, driving inside the campus, heading towards the main cafeteria. I stopped the Harley anyway at the entrance to the cafeteria, ignoring the stares I was attracting, I opened the door without a care, looking around for my target. But to my dismay, the son of a bitch was nowhere to be found." Chris, what are you doing here? " I heard Sky's voice approaching.I turned towards her voice, finding her standing next to Theo with a frown as she watched me." 'O'Donnel, hav

ChristianSavannah and her friends stood up, looking satisfied with the outcome of that little meeting. All they wanted was to make sure that they would not be involved in that situation and they succeeded. " So? You can start " Rose took a deep breath with her arms crossed. " 'We're going to talk in a meeting with the dean,” Savannah said." 'That wasn't agreed,” Addison pointed out." We haven't agreed on anything yet, Mrs. Miller, and we're just making sure we don't get involved in any of this,” she returned.It was at that moment that Jack decided to get involved, seeming not to agree with the proposal." 'We're not going to guarantee any of this without knowing what you have to say.”" We can guarantee that Alicia and Audrey are responsible for everything, we will give the names of all those involved and we will tell you in detail everything we have discovered. " Savannah said " we even have message exchanges to prove it.”Everyone considered that information for a second befor

ChristianI hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen, finding Jack and Addison in an uncomfortable silence. Their gazes fell on me as soon as I walked through the door, causing me to stall in my seat." What?”" Were you arguing? " Addison asked." Ohhh no... Rose is just frustrated with the situation, I suggested she paint a little to distract herself " I explained " I was supposed to bring her breakfast at the studio.”" I'll do it," Addison volunteered, getting up.I didn't argue with the woman, sitting down in the same place as before, accepting the muffin Jack handed me. We sat there, eating in silence for a few minutes, until the sound of the doorbell interrupted us. Jack signaled for me to remain in my seat, getting up to go answer the door.Frowning, I remained silent, trying to hear something to find out who was at the door, but they were either talking very quietly, or not at all. I stood up, deciding to satisfy my curiosity at once, that's when Addison's voice reached m
The chemistry of all colors 151 - The chapter with breakfast with the in-laws
ChristianI turned over in my bed, watching the face of Rose, who slept next to me curled up in a fetal position. My room was small and we didn't usually sleep there, but Rose couldn't bear the thought of sleeping in her room that night and I couldn't blame her. My girlfriend that day did not show all the usual tranquility when sleeping, which sometimes left me in doubt whether or not she had suddenly died in her sleep. On the contrary, she spent the whole night restless, and was not even sleeping on her stomach as usual.The silence outside the room showed that our classmates had probably already gone to class, only the two of us were left behind, trapped in our private hell. Deciding to let her rest a little longer, I got up, going to get dressed and brush my teeth before heading downstairs.The house itself seemed deserted, silence dominated the upper floor. I looked at the open door of Theo's room, where Jack ended up sharing the bed with Addison that night, finding the place empt
