“Hello, earth to Rosa?” Rosa blinked and gasped softly when she notice that the floor has already been mopped clean and all the chairs have been flip and rested on the table. She turn her gaze to Clara.
“I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to leave everything up to you.”
Clara chuckled and sat on one chair that hasn’t been arranged. “It’s alright, babe. I notice you were rather distracted. What is on your mind, Rosa? Were you thinking about that dream again?”
Rosa sighed as she nodded with a tired smile.
“Yeah, the same dream I’ve been having for almost a month. I don’t know what’s going on with me. It’s robbing me of my sleep and making me...”
“What? Horny?” Clara grinned and when Rosa looks shock, Clara laughed.
“Clara!”
“What? I was just kidding but truth to be told, you holding on to your virginity like Spongebob holding on to his Krabby Patty in yesterday episode...”
“My virginity will rot? That’s….ew.”
She was referring to a Spongebob Squarepants episode where he created a Krabby Patty and rather than eating it, he kept the patty until it rots and become all worms and rotten.
“Me and my cartoons. I can’t help it. The kids are forcing me to watch their shows. I even bought Netflix and they are overpowering the TV.”
Rosa laughed. “And what does hubby thinks about this?”
Clara grinned. “Tim likes them getting distracted with TV because it gives us more opportunity for some sexy time.”
“Wait, wouldn’t the kids like check on you or something? That is risky isn’t it?”“That’s the trick, baby. Keeps the marriage spicy. Plus, my sister has been living with us after she was kicked off from her factory after it was close down. She helps to distract them. Heard some investors from Europe came in town and bought the land. Mr Richie-rich so you should come and check out the Town Hall sometimes. Heard he has been having a meeting there. I’m sure if you walk passed by there, you might catch his attention with that gorgeous green eyes of yours.”
“And why would I need to do that? I’m happy being single and able to take care of my family. I don’t need any man. I am perfectly fine on my own.” She pursed her lips with humour in her eyes and wipe the bar table top while Clara sat beside her.
“But your dreams sure proved otherwise. Maybe it’s like a hint, or a destiny. You know? Giving you a sign that a new adventures awaits you soon. Like Harry Potter shit.”
“Clara, Harry Potter didn’t have a dream where he wore a sexy red nightie and a gorgeous blue eye running his hands all over him.”
Clara gasped loudly, her hands both cupping either of her cheek and a wide smile took over her lips.
“You never told me Mr Dreamy-dream touch you. Was it erotic? Please tell me it is? Oh, gosh. I’m so happy for you. I wish I could have that dream too.”
Rosa laughed. “Darling, you have the real deal. I’m still a virgin remember?”
“You won’t be if you actually took up Eli’s offer and be his wife. I’m telling you, the guy maybe older but he has that Hugh Jackman look, he’s rich and y’all definitely will have cute babies.”
“Not to mention divorced three times because he was caught having an affair three times. I don’t care about his money or if we’ll have cute babies. I just don’t feel anything for him. He kinda creeps me out. I’ll stay a virgin forever if he’s the only guy in the wolrd.”
“Ah, ah, ah. Be careful what you wish for, Rosa.”
Oh, she has a wish alright but Eli Valderrama is not it. Not only has he been pestering her since she finishes high school, she even bothered her sick mother and gave her an option of marrying him and then he would aid Rosa’s sick mother.
Poor woman has been suffering with weak lungs after got into a car accident which leaves her father dead and mother with bad lung infection after a metal rode spears into one of her lung.
She survived of course but her mother is robbed from doing any activity and work to raise Rosa and her siblings so Rosa pick up the gravel and help her family instead. It’s not a problem really. She loves her mother very much and helping her was no problem at all.
…
Coming home just like every other night, Rose would check up on her mother who was watching TV in her bed that is placed in her bedroom. It works as her only entertainment in the house while her little brother, a twin is both still in kindergarten.
Like her, her little brother inherits her mother’s brown hair and their father bright bold, green eyes that looks almost grey under the sun.
She enters her mother’s bedroom and switch off the TV and almost jumped from fright when she sees her mother smiling and staring back at her.
“Mom, you almost gave me a heart attack! What are you doing at this hour. Why haven't sleep yet?
“Baby girl, I was waiting for you. You didn’t think I’d go to sleep knowing that my daughter is not in her bed, sleeping right now, do you?” Her voice was hoarse and sounded painful. Nevertheless, her beauty, right at the peak of 40 still stands out even when she is lying on her bed and sick.
Rosa smiled and went to kneel down beside her mother.
“Mom, I’m fine. It's almost 2:00 o'clock. It’s not like I never done this before. Plus Mr Kimble is next door still playing with his banjo so I’m sure that I’ll be fine going back at this hour. There’s nothing for you to be worried about, mama.”
“Mr Kimble is a 70 year old man who gets drunk every night and dead to world every morning till 7pm. I doubt he’ll be strong enough to save you or protect you when the situations come by.”
Rosa went up to her and knelt down beside her bed.
“Mom, I’m telling you I am OK. Plus, Clara has been sending me home remember? It's not like I’m walking alone to our house. I promise that nothing bad will ever happen to me. With your blessings, I will be fine.”
Her mother smiled sadly and cup her cheek.
“I love you so much, baby girl. I’m so sorry for troubling you. at this age. You should’ve been going out or just enjoying your life right now. Not helping me to support your siblings and take care of this household. You’re supposed to go out, have fun and found love.”
Rosa giggled. “I have all the love that I need in this room, mama.”
“And that’s why I love you so much, precious girl.
A/N: Edited...After sending both of her twin brothers to kindergarten, Rosa went to town to do some grocery shopping for home. The sun was shining, the air was slightly cool and everyone greeted her and she to them seeing they all knew her family and grew up with her in that small town.Payment came a bit early this month since her mother’s medicine needs to be restocked and her boss was kind enough to provide her with that. It’s hard these days to find a boss that is willing to provide so much to his or her employee and Ben and his wife did just that for Rosa.She enters a grocery store and start picking out fresh ingredients and few chicken thighs so she would be able to make crispy roasted thigh with beautiful gravy and fresh veggies. It’s not always they would be able to enjoy such hearty meal but seeing she did bring some extra cash with her, she thought that it would be nice for the family to eat good today.Leaving the store, her eyes per
Sitting on the edge of the bed, right next to both of her brother lying sick with fever, Rosa sighed and shook her head. Life never seems to give Rosa a break. There was no Tylenol, nothing that can help both of his brothers and now, at the time where she finally has her off day, both kids have high fever and yellow snot coming from their nose.She has no choice but to go out in the middle of the night and make a quick stop at 7/11. What a pain in the ass her Wednesday night has been.“I told you not to play in the rain, Tony. You’re sensitive to it. Look how worried you make me and mama. You too, Joey. Following your brother like that. You guys are driving me crazy.” Rosa says angrily while clutching either curve of her waist. She resembles more of their mother than their sister with the lack of presence their mother has been. Not that it was her fault.“We’re sorry, Rosa. We didn’t mean to make you worried. We promised we won’t do it again.” Antonio says to
A/N:Edited...“I’m sorry about my house. It’s really small but pretty comfortable.” Rosa was panting as she helps the man to walk to her house. She was so busy bringing him in she didn’t notice him staring at her. His eyes was like daggers, looking deep into her and taking in every details of her face.Deep inside, he knew who she was. Tis' was the reason why he came to Vacherie in the first place. He had bitten her, given her the Sacred Kiss and now, he can’t let her go...Her house was indeed small and there’s barely any space for the two of them to walk together. He notice her struggle in trying to bring him and truth to be told, he was already a tad strong after drinking her blood. Not just any blood, the blood of the woman who was destined to be his. The Sacred kiss was unintentional.His vision was blurry and his thoughts was messed up from the pain of the poison secretly laced in his drinks. It wasn’t the pain that got to him, the fact tha
A/N: Please take your time to like (depends if you like the story only) and comment. I reallllly need to know the directions of this book so far. Is it good? Is it bad? Jesus, I'm scared😂🤦🏻♀️😭 Your comments is very much appreciated. Thank you 😘Love, Diana...Rosa sat in her room and contemplated on preparing the big guy a meal but back to his earlier choices of food, she decides to just make a hot chicken soup with scallion, pinch of white pepper and fried onion as garnish. It’s an amazing soup which her co-worker in Ben’s, Mr. Kim aka the sous chef in the restaurant had taught her. It’s a warm treat for her mother to indulge throughout the cold night. She puts the bowl on her study table which she hasn’t use for a long time but thank God she has always keep her table neat and tidy. She even prepare the bed and smoothen the blanket and pillows for him. He had just finish taken his shower
Her alarm will be going out the window. Soon, she tells herself. It’s a constant reminder that she barely have enough time for herself and it’s all about taking care of her family and work at Bens and probably will be doing it until the end of time.She has no complaints about helping her family, she loves them very much but there's a part of Rosa that yearns to leave town. At least for a little while just to experience the world outside and taking in those breath of fresh air.She sit up on her bed and yawn . It was the best sleep she has ever had. She barely remembers what happened the day before but when she sees a torn cloth with blood lying near her study table, she finally remembers what had happened to her.She quickly stands up and ran to her bathroom and went to other rooms as well in order to search for Armand, the man who she had saved last night and seeing her family was still asleep and not a sound can be heard in their room, she figures
Her head was pounding, her hand was aching and only then Rosa realize that both of her wrist was tied to something long and hard. She slowly opens her eyes and cry out in fear seeing she was on a king size bed with tons of animal head splatter on the wooden wall. Guns on the wall across of her and right on the top of the wall escalate her fears even further.Deer antlers, bears head, even bear rugs on the wooden floor and every part of the room screams high level of testosterone and her small itsy-bitsy body couldn't handle any of that. It looks like a room where Gaston would sleep in. Not the right time to bring out her Disney reference but the place itself screams like a scene from Beauty and the Beast.The window outside shows that it was already night time. It was already dark and no doubt her family must be very worried about her.Rosa tries hard to pull the cloth tying her hand to the bed post but the strength that was put to tie the damn fabric was too mu
The shine from the sunlight through her window pane was enough to make anyone blind. Her face was all scrunched up as she slowly sits up from her comfy bed. Nevertheless, her sleep was so good that this sleep was the best she has ever had. Too bad all that comfort has to be put on hold seeing she has to come to work early that morning.She stretch her body, yawn with a wide smile but a breeze of cool air hitting her skin made her shivered. Quickly, she pulls her comforter over her small body and moan at the warmth of the thick blanket. Her exposed shoulders, neck and knee down felt good.Wait...what?Comforter? Comfy bed? Her bed practically has springs coming out of it and only her trusty cello tape could help her tame the curly metal and shove it back into the mattress her parents once shared. Again, how does her room become air-conditioned? Not to mention the unusual vibration and having the small meals in her tummy going up and down every t
“B..but how can I be yours?” Rosa tries to pry away from his hold but he was too strong for her. Armand's hold around her body wasso strong, it felt like she was hugged by a rock. His chest was wide and hard. She could feel his define pecs and lean abs from his thin shirt. No doubt he can feel the plane of her body just from his erection currently resting on her tummy. He was a big man. Huge and if he really believes that she belongs to him in that way, he would... good God, he would tear her apart. A growl rumbled from his chest and Rosa flinched. It sounded almost animalistic and scary and she knows that the sound came from him but it was still scary none the same. “I can’t be yours. I.. I have a family. I need to take care of my brothers and..and..nd my mother! Oh God, you took me here! I have to go home! You have to get me home..OH!” The plane stars to descent, causing Rosa shriek and start panicking when she felt a strong pressure pus
