Chapter Three

After Adam left the house for the office due to the emergency call Lucy was left all alone at home even though Adam didn't want to leave but Lucy forced him to as she didn't want his company to suffer because of her.

      Now that she was alone at home she felt quite bored she then decided to video call Rose.

     Picking up her phone to video call Rose.

After two rings Rose appeared on the screen in a pink bathrobe her hair was dripping wet, Lucy knew instantly that she just came out of the shower.

    " Hey Rose " Lucy greeted.

 " Hey Lucy,  wassup why are you calling suddenly, any emergency? ,  are you not supposed to be with Adam?  " she interrogated.

     " Why the questions?  anyways Adam stepped out due to an emergency at work so I am stuck here all alone. " Lucy sighed.

  " hmmmmn okay  " Rose answered, Relieved.

  "  Wanna hang out with me?  " Lucy asked suddenly.

  " Good idea and that reminds me when are you going to check on your shopping mall and boutique? " Rose asked

   " Probably on Wednesday as for now I am still on my honeymoon period According to Adam " Lucy sighed.

  " Oh! Alright, when should we meet and at what time?  " Rose inquired.

   " In an hour or so, can you please come to pick me up, " Lucy asked feeling a bit embarrassed as she couldn't drive, she made a mental note to learn how to before the year runs out?

     " Oh! No problem I'll be there" Rose replied cheerfully.

   Throughout that day Lucy and Rose hanged out like always but the only difference was that Lucy was married.

   Once when they were in the fun park licking ice cream and playing with the swings,  they overheard some ladies gossiping.

  " Hey Tina, did you hear the rumors? " the lady asked her friend

  " What rumors?  " Tina asked wondering what it could be.

 " The rumors that the handsome and stunning CEO of moon Corp,  Adam Standford is now committed " she replied.

   " What!,  when, how, and most importantly to whom?  " Tina asked bewildered.

 " Dunno,  I just hope she is the perfect match for my idol and not some common gold-digger " she sighed.

  " Yes, you right and I wonder who the lucky lady is?  " Tina was still shocked about this news the CEO of moon Corp was a very strict man and was never seen with a woman so many thought he was gay but  hearing that he was committed proved that he was not but this only made people curious as to who the lucky woman was that managed to steal their idol 

     Hearing this gossips Rose could only sigh as she whispered to Lucy 

    " Your hubby has a lot of admirers, uh?  " she teased

  " Yes, and I will make sure I chase them all away  because he's mine only," Lucy said confidently 

    Discerning her friend's possessiveness Rose sighed.

 ' I guess Adam changed her a lot  ' she made a mental note to thank Adam later because she noticed that since Adam came into their lives Lucy had always been happy and smiling unlike before when she was always sad and frowning due to lack of parental love and care as Lucy was an orphan her step-siblings didn't like her and made things difficult for her but despite all the trials  Lucy fulfilled her dreams of having her own boutique and being a fashion designer.

    Seeing Lucy only made Rose Happy and grateful to God for bringing light back into her Best Friends  life.

Lucy looked at Rose and noticed the latter was in a daze she then gave her a light Pat on the Shoulder Which resulted in the latter Snapping out of her Daze, Rose looked up only to Be faced with Lucy's Questioning look.

    " What's wrong? " she asked

 " What were you thinking so deeply about, Uh? " Lucy asked.

  " Well, it's nothing important,  just some random thoughts " Rose replied. 

   " Oh?  " Lucy answered not believing her 

 " hmmmmn, that reminds me how is your relationship with your Fiance going?  , When are you guys going to tie the knot? " Lucy asked. curiously as Rose hardly talk about herself.

    " Good, Soon,  why do you ask?  " Rose asked.

  " I was just curious,  you know " Lucy replied.

  " Oh! "

" Oh? ,  what's that about what's going on, please talk to me. " Lucy Pleaded.

 " Well, it's nothing new... So when is Adam coming home?" Rose asked trying to change the subject 

   " Stop It, Rose!  don't change the topic,  please tell me what's going on I care about you please tell me what's wrong alright?  " Lucy pleaded, clearly Worried.

   " I ... " before Rose could utter a word she burst into tears, seeing Lucy was confused she always knew Rose as a strong person she never saw her this vulnerable so she was curious to know what happened. helplessly she pulled Rose into a tight hug and tried to calm her down.

   " Shhhh, it's okay tell me what happened alright? " Lucy whispered 

 After Rose had calmed down she spoke up.

    " I.... love him, Lucy I do," Rose said 

  ' Oh so it's about her fiance, I wonder what's wrong this time ' Lucy thought. 

   Lucy knew about Rose's Fiance Jeremy Peterson , Rose once told her that they were dating 

  she thought that the both of them were in love but who knows 

   " Alright calm down, can you please tell me what exactly happened? " Lucy whispered

  " Well, he told me that his first love and ex girlfriend Dorothy Washington  had arrived back in the country and she's trying to get him back and..... " she stuttered

   " And what? " Lucy asked.

 " And he said he's considering going back to her " she replied 

 " What! how dare he say that! You guys have been together for a year now doesn't he even care about your feelings?  " Lucy ranted 

  " What happened next? " 

" Well, he said that he has not made up his mind yet and will inform me of his decision soonest " Rose replied.

   " Oh, that's it don't tbe sad okay," Lucy said trying to lighten Rose's Mood.

   Just then Lucy's phone rang glancing at the caller's ID she smiled.

  Picking up she heard Adam's voice at the other end. 

  " Hey sweetie,  I am home where are you?  " he asked

  " Hey darling, do not worry I am with Rose and  we are just nearby I will be back home soon " Lucy assured 

   " Alright then, don't be late I love you," Adam said

  " I won't, love you more " Lucy replied.

   " Okay, see ya," Adam said and hung up

  Raising her head,  Lucy stared at  Rose and saw that the latter was in a daze with a faint smile on her lips.

   She wondered what the latter was thinking about and as she was not a mind reader or a Witch she could only sigh.

  After about five minutes Rose came out of her daze and found Lucy staring at her curiously 

 " What? " she Inquired

" What were you thinking? " Lucy asked

   " Just random thoughts, by the way, why are you still here? '' Rose asked.

 " Staying with you to Keep you Company. '' Lucy replied casually 

  " Are you crazy?  don't tell me you want to keep Adam waiting " she asked.  

   " Well,  I need to make sure you are okay first before I head home alright? " Lucy replied

  " Alright, I am okay let's go," Rose said.

" Sure? " 

" Of course" 

  "  Alright, let's go " Lucy replied as they headed to the Car.
