Rose

My father's look at Christian was still frowning, and I couldn't resist teasing him a little by placing my hand on the boy's knee, stroking his leg, and maintaining eye contact with my dad.

Okay, it wasn't in our plans that they would find out about the two of us, but I confess that I felt better this way. Since Thanksgiving I had missed being able to hug and kiss him whenever I felt like it.

Christian leaned towards me a little, before whispering in my ear.

" You want your father to kill me in a very painful way just to escape your promise, don't you?”

I looked up at him, not containing a dangerous smile before I answered him.

" Christian, I will always want you to die a painful death, but I would never break a promise.”

" I'll remember that," he returned in a voice laden with ulterior motives, and I didn't have to look at him to know he was smiling.

" I hope so.”

" Will you two stop whispering? We're in the middle of the game," Jack returned grumpily.

" Is this bad m

    Rose" Think on the bright side, the girls will leave you alone. " I assured Camille as I dragged her up the stairs to my room." That I doubt very much," she sighed, "The last time they saw me talking to Christian it only served to make them pick on me more.”" This is pure jealousy, and it will only increase, after all, you and Chris study together, he will be very close to you," I assured.I had seen that red-headed girl who seemed to be the leader of the group that was bullying camille, and I remembered clearly the party where she was dancing with Christian and I managed to drag him from the dance floor to a closet at the end of the hall. I didn't pay much attention to her that night, I was just frustrated because the guy I was flirting with seemed more interested in talking about the team's next game than giving me any compliments, so I was forced to turn to Christian to regain some of my high self-esteem, and in the process I ended up throwing that redhead out of the picture."

    Rose A few minutes later, we were inside the game room, properly dressed, still wrapped in our blankets as Addison told them about other editions of our marathon tiebreaker." Is it always like this? " Cam asked." When it's hot, instead of taking off their clothes, they put them on " my mother explained " Usually Jackson wins, today Rose got lucky.”" Of course he won, it was a grown man competing against a ten year old girl, what did you expect? " I complained.Christian knelt down in front of me, handing me a cardboard cup with hot tea." Shut up and drink it" he murmured." You're so delicate, you know that? " I sneered as he draped the blanket over my shoulder, making sure I was warm enough." Only the best for you," he winked at me." Asshole," I muttered." you little freak," he returned with a smile.Liam was sprawled on the couch, drinking what looked like his twentieth bottle of beer." Rose, I would offer to warm you up in a way you would never forget if your parents weren

    RoseI noticed Cam grew tense with every step we took toward the entrance of the house, and in fact, many people were looking in our direction. Both by the presence of my parents — who no one imagined were actually my parents — and by her presence, who always excluded herself from any activity that involved human contact.As usual, we had no difficulty entering the party, it had been weeks since we had visited that house. Camille shrank with each step, and when Theo leaned on her shoulder she almost jumped in fright." Let's split up, so we can find her faster," my father suggested." Stay by my side, there's no need to be afraid," Theo smiled at Cam, reassuring her a little.But our tranquility didn't last, Chris and I heard an altered argument coming from the other room, and soon we headed there. Skyller was in the middle of the room, pushing away a Harry who seemed very frightened by everything that was happening. But most surprising of all, Skyller was completely drunk!The music

    Christian DavisI shifted in bed as I awoke the next morning, turning over, seeing Harry asleep in the bed next to mine. I sat up, running both hands over my face as I remembered the whole mess of last night. I slept in before he got back from the party, and from the looks of things, things didn't get any easier for him.My roommate, even in his sleep, had a downcast expression on his face, and the purple spots under his eyes from the nose punch Rose had hit him made his appearance even worse." What have you gotten yourself into, man? " I muttered to myself before getting up, deciding to get out of there before he woke up.Harry was my roommate, and in the last few months he has become my friend. What he did was some pretty big shit, but I couldn't just ignore him. At least, not without giving him a chance to explain himself. But I didn't want to have that conversation right now, I had more important things to take care of, like checking on Skyller and Rose.I left the room after get

    Christian About forty minutes later I was back, but to my surprise, Theo was fiddling on his cell phone lying on the extra bed in Rose's room who was still sleeping and Skyller and Liam had left. " Hey," I greeted him." Man, now I understand why Van Derr Waal sleeps so late, you need to feel these sheets," he sighed." Where are they? " I ignored his comment." Skyller remembered some details from yesterday, and she wanted to be alone," Theo explained, "Liam offered his room.” I grimaced at that statement. Poor Skyller, she of all people, didn't deserve to go through that. But unfortunately she would have to face the situation." And Rose? " I sat on the edge of her bed, placing the two paper bags and the glass of tea on the bedside table. " She hasn't moved since I arrived. I don't know if this is normal," he sat up." Yes, it is normal. She has a habit of slipping into a coma every time she sleeps," a small smile came to my face as I watched her sleep.I opened the pharmacy ba

    Christian As soon as I reached the hallway to my room, I met Harry who returned with a downcast expression, standing in place when he saw me." Hey man," I greeted him after a few uncomfortable seconds. That small gesture of goodwill caused my roommate to let his guard down a bit. I walked to our bedroom door, unlocking it, and he followed me." Hey…”" How are you after all that shit yesterday? " I decided to give him a little attention. Like I told Rose, he's my roommate and my friend, and I can't pretend he doesn't exist. " You mean the fact that Rose almost broke my nose? Or that Van Derr Waal left me with a series of bruises? I must admit, I expected Rose's full strength, but not that reaction from Van Derr Waal," he forced a small smile." You messed with the wrong person. The only one who could make Liam not mind crumpling his clothes in a fight," I grabbed the laptop and charger from my desk before turning to him. “And you're lucky Rose just punched you.”I leaned against

    ChristianMy mind seemed to go round in circles going over what Harry had told me as I returned to Rose's room. Was he right? I decided to put this aside as I reached the door to her room, surprised to see that Rose had taken the mattresses off the two beds and put them together on the floor, spreading pillows and blankets over them. She was no longer in her pajamas; she was wearing sweatpants and a long, loose T-shirt." What is this?” " It's more comfortable for us to watch, don't you think? " She smiled.Her smile was not the provocative or sarcastic smile she usually gave. Rose just seemed happy with my company, and I was also more than happy to spend a quiet day with her.After setting the laptop in a comfortable place for us to watch, I sat down on the mattress and she lay on my lap, smiling as I began to stroke her scalp, feeling the softness of her strands of hair." Your temperature has dropped," I commented. " What can I say? I had a good nurse. And I took a quick shower

    ROSE " Are you sure you know what you are doing? " I asked while Christian was filing my nails. After our conversation at lunch he decided to help me, since I couldn't go to the manicurist, so he took the nail polish off himself and was busy reducing the size as much as possible without damaging them." Rose, if I can help Peterson file his model pieces to perfection, I can handle your nails," he assured me, concentrating on his task." You really like them," I commented with a small smile." I told you, your hand looks very pretty with these nails," he looked up at me, giving me a wink before concentrating again on my little finger nail.I couldn't deny that I was really enjoying being spoiled like that. I had no idea that he would go to such lengths to take care of me in the face of a simple cold. Every day that passed made some feelings rise up inside of me. I missed him whenever we weren't together, and when we were, I didn't feel like paying attention to anyone else. In fact,

    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...

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?

"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.

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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
