Semua Bab Rosie's Obsession : Bab 1 - Bab 10

“Rosie?” Henry called, staring at me in surprise.I grinned sheepishly.“Hi, Professor Henry.” He blinked, lips parted slightly.“Rosie Alphonse?”“The one and only…” I trailed off,His lips broke into a wide smile as he stepped closer.“My, my. Look how big you've grown.” He grinned, tousling my hair gently.I pouted.“The last time I saw you,” he cocked his head to the side. “You were this tall.”“That was five years ago, Professor Gareth.” I said, rolling my eyes.“And you've got an attitude I see…”I pursed my lips in annoyance, folding my arms over my chest.“What are you doing back in California?” I asked curiously.He rubbed his chin thoughtfully.“I'm here with my fiancèe…” a dull noise began ringing in my ears.His eyes lit up as he spoke, but his voice sounded faint and distant in my ears.“—apparently a daughter of hers goes to this school,” he said with a shrug.Fiancee?My heart slammed painfully in my chest.“—I mean… obviously I'm not expecting to bump into her or some

I groaned, rolling over onto my side, the harsh glare of sunlight hit me immediately.I squinted, turning away sharply.“Jesus Christ…”Why the hell was my curtain drawn?Of course… My mother is home.I stared at the bedside clock. It read— 10:50I got up from bed, deciding to brush my teeth and take a bath instead. It was a Saturday so there was no school, and I was pretty sure I heard mum say they would be out for the day.A wide grin spread on my face.Lucky me.A day of peace and quiet would help me navigate my thoughts clearly.I threw on a pair of joggers and top, then I began making my way downstairs.I beelined for the kitchen, heading straight to the pot— and as expected, there was food.“God bless you, mum.” I murmured, taking a plate and dishing my food.“I— feel good, pa-ra-ra-ra.” I danced while singing happily.I opened the second pot, gaze landing on sauced turkey.My mouth watered instantly.“Jesus, Mom,” I murmured, dipping my hand into the pot, to grab a piece of tu

Henry shook his head, exhaling heavily.“How long are we going to play this game?” he asked.“Game?” I echoed.“Yes, Rosie.”“I wasn't playing any games.” I murmured, glancing at the floor.“Then why wouldn't you hand me the books?”“It's…”He exhaled heavily, scratching his head.“Christ, Rosie, just hand me the damn books, will you?”Stupid…. Stupid…. Stupid.Why'd you wear this flimsy shit?Oh God… what was I even thinking.“Can I quickly go back in and…”He raised a brow in amusement.Then reached toward me, snatching the books in one swift movement.My heart hammered as his gaze flickered briefly to my chest—so quick I almost thought I imagined it, before he pulled away.He sat back down, then turned to the book, his expression neutral.Too fast.Like nothing had happened.Like I'd imagined his playful teasing just now.“Which would you like to start with?” He asked.The heat faded just as fast, leaving me cold and a little stupid.Fucking stupid, Rosie.What the hell were you ev

The moment we stepped down from the car, I could feel the reverberations beneath my feet.The car door slamming shut brought me out of my daze.“Aren't you staying in the car?” I asked as Henry rounded the corner and came to a stop beside me.“What do you mean? I'm going in with you.”“You didn't say it like that.” I argued.“I said I'm coming with you, didn't I?”“Lena's in there, what do I tell her?” I fired back.“You're eventually going to have to tell her, you know, right?” ”“I know… I just… just don't follow me, please.”“I'm going to get a drink too,” he replied.I rolled my eyes and walked in.“Hey girl,” Lena called as soon as I stepped inside.“Hey…” “Come on, there's someone you'd love to meet,” Lena said, pulling me in.We wove through the crowd of grating bodies, stopping just in front of a door.She pushed it open and…“Fuck…” I trailed, staring at the men dancing on a pole. “Is this a gay section or what?”She winked, “more like… a manwhore section.”“Seriously?” I mu

My alarm blared loudly.I groaned, turning around as my hand blindly reached for it.I finally found it and turned it off.“Fuck.”Another Monday morning, another school.My head hurt, my body did too and my mouth… it tasted like I'd eaten shit and forgotten to brush my teeth.I frowned slightly, touching my head.“What the fuck?” I murmured, rolling out of bed as I walked towards my bathroom mirror.I stared at myself, eyes widening at the huge bump on my head.“Jesus… What the hell happened, Rosie?”I sighed heavily, deciding to take a bath instead.The water cascading down my body helped jog my memory as it went back to the club.Lena.The two guys…Then—My eyes snapped open as the memories came rushing back.I turned off the shower, dried off and put on my school uniform which consisted of a short skirt and button down clothes.I ran down the stairs, heart beating wildly in my chest.“Shit, shit, shit, what the fuck Rosie?”It's alright…I just have to avoid him for now…I screec
