Rosalie
I wake up safe and warm with Julius wrapped around me. I watch him for a while admiring his handsome face sculpted to perfection. I say a prayer in my mind of gratitude to God for making such a beautiful man. Thankful I get to look at him. Thankful for him rescuing me and taking care of me. He stirs and opens his eyes staring directly into mine. Last night when Cedric made his unwanted advances I broke down. I wanted to take what happened to me at 15, bury it deep, and take to the grave. Never tell a soul. I knew if I was ever serious with someone I’d have to inform them I couldn’t bare children but I never planned on telling them why or think I’d ever find someone in that capacity. I contemplated telling Julius many times but never got up the nerve. Last night caught me off guard and it just came out in all my emotions. I’m wondering if he t
JuliusAs predicted everyone forgot my damn birthday. Everyone except the one that matters. My sweet love. I had to finish up some pressing matters at work and was feeling down when she surprised the hell out of me with Coldplay tickets. I wasn’t expecting that amazing gift. She even remembered that small moment in the car when we were singing “Rush of Blood To the Head” and she complimented my voice. My sweet, thoughtful, sexy angel. When we got to the concert it was electric. Exceeded all my expectations. We knew all the songs and sang and danced the night away. At the end, when the confetti fell, it was magic, I picked her up and kissed her feeling joy and love I’ve never known. I felt a feeling of total euphoria. When we
RosalieWhen we got to Julius Mother’s house (also Becca’s soon to be mother in law) she literally acted as if I wasn’t there. Julius even tried talking to her about me and she would nod and change the subject. What a rude bitch. I dressed in my classiest black dress, the same color as her soul. Pulled my hair back in a ponytail and wore minimum makeup and low red heels. I looked like I worked in a law office, just to appease this woman. I should’ve known better. Julius was hugging me and telling me how beautiful I looked so at least that was a win. We sat at the table for brunch. “Well Son, 30 is a big number. Time to start planning for the future. Settling down with an equally yolked partner, having children, a family of your own.” His mother said and Julius squeezed my hand for reassu
Julius No no no! This can’t be happening. I don’t even speak a word to my mother as I leave the table a few minutes after Rosalie left. I knew she was lying and thought she was going to get a breath of fresh air. Now I can’t find her and after our text it’s clear to me that she is ending us. I jump in my car and race to her house, hoping she is in fact there. I immediately notice Caesar is gone. He always greets me like a good watch wolf. That’s when I break out in a cold sweat. I call Ben. She’s not with Becca. I call the twins. They think she’s with Violet. After trying to bride them profusely, they confess that even they don’t know where Violet lives and every time she took them to her house they were blindfolded. Wtf? I h
Rosalie After crying myself to sleep all night, I wake up and do the worst thing. I check my newsfeed and see the man I’ve fallen for fucking a stripper. “Playboy Billionaire Is At It Again”“Though he captured our attention the night before with the beautiful Rosalie Valentino in a picture compared to the classic “The Kiss” (photo of a nurse sending a sailor off to war) he is at his old tricks again. Not that we mind, but I wonder how his short lived flame is feeling. Ah, young love. Julius does know how to keep us on our toes. I wonder who will be the next lucky lady to grace his bedsheets? Here’s to hoping gals!” I throw my phone down and run to the bathroom to puke in between cry
Julius I enter the Catholic Church. I even dip my fingers in the holy water, praying my ass off that some kind of miracle could fix this. Bring Rosalie back to me. I see her father kneeling at the pew. I move to sit next to him. He turns and gives me a knowing smile and pats me on the back. “It’s good to see you my boy.” He whispers. I return his greetings with a defeated smile. The service goes on as usual and I think of the last time I was here with her. Laughing like children at the priests Kermit the frog voice. My heart aches. I wonder if I can ever laugh again. When we finish he walks me outside and invites me to lunch. We go to his favorite Italian spot and he makes conversation easily. Not wasting a beat. “Trouble i
BeccaI can’t find Rosalie anywhere and now I’m worried. She’s not been herself since the break up. It’s been hours and everyone’s left. To be honest I don’t want a stupid bachelorette party. I was furious over Julius picture and it made me have my suspicions about Ben. If his brother could move on so fast who’s to say Ben is in it for the long run? We’ve been fighting all week. I walk into the bachelor room where I find Ben standing drinking rum. This can’t be good. “Did you finalize your big PLANS sweetheart?” He throws his arms up dramatically. “You’re one night to be single again?” He turns away from me and leans against the bar. We both decided early on we didn’t want a bachelor
Rosalie October 16 (Rehearsal Night)Julius and I head to the wedding rehearsal. We check into our room at the grand hotel. Ever since we made up that night we have once again been inseparable. Things are different this time though. As if we both accepted our destinies with each other. We’ve become closer, not holding back. Julius has seemed a bit nervous about the wedding but won’t let on exactly why other than “weddings make me nervous”. I don’t buy it but he can tell me on his own time.The twins and Violet are in the lobby as we get our room key. They run up to us, even huggin
JuliusI lay awake in the early morning hours with my beautiful love laying next to me. I sneak out and retrieve the small box from my coat pocket that I’ve brought with me. I look inside at the glistening diamond ring. I’m going to do it. Nerves be damned. When it comes time for the maid and man of honor speeches I’m going to ask her to marry me. I don’t care if it takes away a bit from Ben and Becca. I have to make her mine forever. In front of everyone. I close the box and put it back in the jacket pocket. I lay next to her. Both of us still naked. I watch her. Memorize every curve of her face while I stroke the dark waves of her hair. Smelling her scent. Ravishing in her beauty. She suddenly makes a sour face and stirs
