Thorns and Roses CHAPTER NINE
"I'm simply going to work to check out what's going on. I'll come back later in afternoon then we go somewhere together. You stay at home or do you wanna go somewhere?" "Nah, I'm not using one of my visiting days now." That wasn't what I meant, Sebastian thought. He nodded and bid Dante goodbye. Dante watched as Sebastian's car left the compound. The moment he left, he dashed out of his room. He almost bumped into one bodyguard on his way. "Oh...I'm sorry." Dante apologized. The bodyguard helped him stand well on his feet. He's been hearing from his colleagues that the new doctor is cute and now that he's seeing Dante's face, he can tell that cute is an understatement. "It's fine. Are you on your way somewhere? Out? I can drive you, if you don't mind." "No, don't worry yourself" Dante politely turned him down. "I was just on my way to find something doing. I'm quite less busy." "Really? Then follow me." "Where?" "You'll see." Dante narrowed his eyes. There was somethi

Dante raised his brow in question, "You're gonna teach me?" Sebastian nodded. "Yeah." Dante squinted his eyes, he scrutinized Sebastian from his head to toe. "Teach me, huh? How good are you? Are you better than Xander and Timothy?" Sebastian's men found it unbelievable. For the first time, a person is doubting their boss's ability. That hurt their pride as his men. "Mr Yolando, our boss..." One guy tried to caution but Sebastian cut him off. "It's fine. Let's show him, shall we? Xander, to the ring." Xander's heart skipped a beat. There is no way on earth he's sparing with Sebastian. "No no. I'm good. Timothy is better than I am." He glanced at Timothy, who was glaring at him, "Isn't that right, Timothy?" "I'd love to but my throat hurts, so..." Dante snickered, "you fight with your fists and legs, not with your oesophagus, Timothy. Are you that scared?" He turned to Sebastian, "you're that good, huh?" "More than that." Fred said. "I won't believe that until I see

"How did it go? Is boss still angry?"Questions were thrown at the guys as they walked into the training room. The men were anxious to know the mood of their boss."Well...we don't know." Fred answered, taking a seat beside Xander."You don't know?" Timothy asked."You see..." Leo began to explain, "Dante kinda made things worse...or maybe we thought that but surprisingly, boss invited him in."The men looked at one another, astounded. "Boss invited him in? As in...boss invited Dante into his room . The same room he forbids everyone from entering. Even his family needs permission to enter but Dante entered freely? Are you sure of what you're saying?" Xander asked, unable to believe Leo's tale."You think I'm joking? Ask Fred or Brendan. They were there too you know.""Leo is right." Fred confirmed, "That happened. Even after Dante threw words at boss, he didn't get angry. He invited him in instead but..."But?""Something seemed weird." Brendan chipped in. "We couldn't hear anything

"Boss, concerning the Twenty-fifth anniversary of Coral Island, you were chosen to be one of the sponsors. I want to confirm with you if you're going this year." "I have to. We have a 5 months project there, remember? The eco friendly estate. Put it in the schedule. We'll be leaving in two days. Make the necessary preparations. I want no mistakes." "Yes, boss." Frank bowed and exited the office. Sebastian picked up his phone to check the time. It's 5p.m. His mind went to Dante. Dante has been avoiding him at all costs for two days. Is it because of the incident two days ago? Yeah, his manhood hurt badly but that doesn't mean he should avoid him like a plague. He shutdown his laptop and picked up his suit jacket. He needs to talk to Dante. He took the elevator down and exited the building. He entered his car and ignited it. He drove home at full speed. When he got home, he couldn't find Dante anywhere. He checked the bodyguard residence, he wasn't there. He checked his own residenc

Dante, Leo and Fred were lost having fun that Dante lost the track of time. By the time Dante got aware of how late it was, it was too late. It was 11p.m and Sebastian is yet to arrive. He decided to spend the night in Fred's dorm. There's no harm in that, he thought. He woke up the next day at the sound of a loud siren. He got irritated as his sleep was abruptly disrupted. He pushed Fred off him in annoyance and sat up. What time is it? He wondered. He glanced at the sky through the window, it's still slightly dark. He stood up, almost tripping on the bottle of beer on the ground. Now he knows why his head is hurting so much. They drank quite a lot last night. Dante tapped Fred, "wake up." Fred groaned and swerved right. Dante tapped him harder, "dude, wake up." He glanced to the left, "and where is Leo?" He remembers they slept in the same room but where is he? "Why are you waking me?" Fred mumbled as he closed his eyes slowly, preparing to go back to sleep. "A siren has been s

"Dante, wake up. We're here." "Mhmm...five more minutes, hm?" Sebastian shook his head. He tapped Dante again, "Dante, wake up." "I don't have a shift. Let me sleep in peace." Sebastian chuckled. He found Dante's sleep talk cute. He pulled Dante up but Dante kept his eyes closed, sleeping peacefully.He's not going to wake up. I'll just carry him all the way. Sebastian carried Dante up in bridal style. Dante hummed sleepily, snuggling against Sebastian's super comfortable chest. Sebastian blushed at his actions. Careful enough not to wake the sleeping beauty in his arms, he exited the room and descended from the ship. The bodyguards and ship crew were already organized, waiting for him outside. Dante shuddered as the cool breeze of the sea hit his body. Sebastian held him tighter and increased his steps towards the parked car. Frank opened the door for Sebastian to enter. He placed Dante in first before he got in with him. It baffled Sebastian how Dante could sleep although this

"Why did you leave? I told you to wait while I get Fred from the restroom." Leo scolded. "You shouldn't have left either. You boys are his bodyguards, you should follow him everywhere. Have you forgotten where we are? Have you forgotten what happened last time? Huh?!" Sebastian fired"Sebastian, it's not their fault. Don't blame them. I left on my own even though they told me not to. I'm sorry, hm? Just don't scold them." Sebastian sighed. He had more rants building up in him but Dante's cute pleading eyes melted everything away. "Fine!" He turned to Leo and Fred, who had their head bowed apologetically. "I'll let it go this once! Once I tell you. If this happens again, I'm not going to let it slide. Got it?" "Yes, sir!" "Let's go." Sebastian pulled Dante by his hands as they walked to their parked car. He helped Dante in and sat beside him. Their ride home was silent. The only thing that could he heard was the rustle from the invitation Dante was fiddling. Sebastian tried to i

"Sir, we're here. Boss?"Sebastian breathed in sharply. Dante could see hesitation in his face. He looked both hesitant, unsure and terrified. Dante held his hand gently, "you'll be okay." He assured and Sebastian nodded. Dante tightened his grip on Sebastian's hand and pulled him gently out of of the car. Fred, Leo and Timothy lead the way, while Dante and Sebastian followed suit. Five other bodyguards followed behind.A cold shiver ran through Dante's spine as they stepped into the royal-like ballroom. "Shit, are they royalty?" Dante wondered to himself, looking around, Sebastian's hand still in his but he's gotten oblivious of it."They are not. They are just stinky rich. They are the second richest family on the island." Fred whispered to Dante. If they are the second, I wonder how rich the first would be, Dante thought to himself. Dante looked down, finally noticing Sebastian's hand in his. He pulled his hand away abruptly, looking around."Master Sebastian, this way please." A m

Thorns and Roses Back To Gomez Enterprise
Aurora's Point Of ViewWhat was I going to say? Just as I was about to stutter what was probably going to be nonsense, Mr. Gomez came to the rescue. "Hmm no, I'm not his dad but I am his very very cool uncle." Dexter grinned and nodded, "Yes! He's my cool uncle." "And he has a big car!" Eloise added proudly, wrapping her little arms around Mr. Gomez's leg. I smiled at the sight. "Really?" The little boy's eyes widened in amusement. "He has a big car?" He gasped and Mr. Gomez nodded smugly. "Probably the biggest in town and Dexter gets to ride in it every day." Mr. Gomez said. "And me too!" Eloise chirped and Mr. Gomez chuckled while patting her hair. "Of course, princess." "Whoa! I want to have a cool uncle when I grow up." The little boy said dreamily. "No, little guy. Be the coolest uncle when you grow up." Mr. Gomez fisted his hands and he and the little boy bumped fists before he skipped off. I glanced at Mr. Gomez and our gazes met. I couldn't help but smile appreciative

"Thank you for having me, Aunty." Umbria smiled. "I hope you come visit some other time, Dante. I'd love to cook for you again." "I'll find time, ma." Dante turned to Ezekiel, who inturn smiled at him. "I don't have your phone number. Can I have it?" Zeke asked Dante. "Sure. It's 019*****" "Ok. I'll make sure to call you.""Mhm...bye and..."Let's go, Dante." Sebastian cut in, taking Dante by his arm. Dante waved Keane goodbye as Sebastian dragged him along. "Are you okay?" Dante asked as soon as they got in the car. Sebastian gave a simple nod and faced the window. Dante glanced at Leo quizzically. Leo shrugged and ignited. There is surely something wrong with him, Dante thought. Reaching home, Sebastian immediately went to the shooting range. Unknown to him, Dante followed him silently. Sebastian picked up a AK pistol and aimed at the dummy. Dante covered his ear as Sebastian fired. The sound from the gun was so loud that Dante thought his ears would rip apart. He hid in a co

"I told the maid to make varieties of dishes. I hope you find what you like here, Dante. I didn't know Sebastian was bringing a guest along." "It's fine, Aunty. The dishes are fine. They are delicious." Umbria smiled, "good." She turned to Sebastian, who was picking his food, a blank expression on his face, "what about you, son?" Sebastian : "..." Umbria turned to Gabriel, Sebastian's father. Gabriel tapped the table, "Sebastian, she's asking you a question. Or don't you like the peach pie? She made that herself, you know. Show some appreciation." Sebastian smirked in disbelief. He laughed throatily, his laugh echoed throughout the room. He raised his head from his food and turned to Gabriel. "I'm allergic to peaches." He said simply before he let down his spoon. "Sebastian.." Umbria tried saying. "You know, I get she isn't my mum so she can't know bit what about you, dad? You're telling me you didn't know? Or you're pretending not to?" "Sebastian..." Zeke called, trying to ca

Dante tossed left and right. He trailed his hand up and down the bed to turn off the device disturbing his sleep. His frustration grew as he couldn't get hold of it. In annoyance, he sat up. He turned sideways to his ringing phone, which was on the stool beside the bed. He picked up the phone aggressively, ready to curse out the person calling. He got more agitated when he saw it was an unknown number. "What?" He demanded in anger. "Seesh, did someone offend you in your dream?" "Keane?" "Morning." Dante sighed, rubbing his eyes. "You know I almost cussed you out right? You disturbed my sleep. It's just..." He brought his phone down to check the time. "It's just 6.45 in the morning." "Don't doctors wake up earlier than that?" "What do you want?" Dante demanded impatiently. He really wants to go back to sleep. "I called to check how you are doing." "Since when did you start caring about how I'm doing?" "Ugh! One can't be nice to you. Anyway, I have a question. Why did you tel

"You seriously didn't know I was the celebrant?" "I had no idea." "But I gave you the invite and you're here. How come you had no idea?" Dante bit his bottom lip nervously, "um...I didn't open the invite and also, my boss told me I couldn't come because we had a party we had to get to. I just didn't know the party he was talking about was the same one you invited me to." "Boss? You work for someone here?" "Um...yeah." "Who?" Holy shit, should I tell him it's Sebastian? I shouldn't say that, right? Let me just lie. But who do I say I work for? I know nobody else. "Dante?" "Hm?" "What are you thinking about? I asked for whom you work?" "Oh...um..." Dante looked sideways and the first person he saw was that driver. The driver he saw with Keane that day. "Keane!" He blurted out, startling Zeke. "Sorry, I mean...I work for Mr. Miller." "Oh.." Zeke smiled. He picked up his glass of wine and took a sip. Dante's eyes followed all of Zeke's movement. From the way he picked up the g
