“You like it.” It's our third cup of ice cream and like I’m pure drunk in it. My mind feels so cold after the first bite. Yummy... who makes this heaven on earth.
“I love it.” He nods and takes a bite from me.
“Hey!”
“What? I want to taste it.” Shaking my head I push his spoon away with my finger.
“Nope, it's mine. You have yours.” He makes a sad face.
“You and Ronald are truly made for each other. He hates sharing which he loves the most.” Yes, I hate him sharing but it's not in my hands.
“You can share your story with me.” My spoon stops in between eating. Cold night and a slap hard feel inside. It's pointless sharing my story with anyone or I thought everyone hurt who listened to me.
“Why do you think there's a story?”
“You stop eating.” Shrugged, I start eating again.
“That's no prove anything.” He finishes eating and orders the bill.
“I understand your feelings. We met right now and it's not easy to believe anyone. But I’m here for you.”
“Maybe another day.” We both ate in silence and watched outside where the night was covered with beautiful white clouds.
“You need to tell him. He'll protect you.”
“What if he's the one from which I need protection?”
“Then no one is going to save you. If you're beautiful then he's a beast.” I know no one is going to save me from him but who's going to save him from Laura. I don’t need anyone, I just need him with me.
In my breath
In my life
“I think we need to go.”
One hour later we came back. The roads block heavy traffic due to snowfall. When we reached the hotel it's already so late.
“Good night Mr. Brooks.” I handed him back the coat that he offered me because of the cold weather.
“Wait!”
“W.. what?” He stopped me immediately and looked so active like he's feeling something not good around us.
“Your door, it's open.” Yes, it's open. Turning a little I looked back.
“But I remember the last time it's locked.” He pulls me behind his back like a protector and walks inside. Reaching inside I’m so confused at first. It's Ronald sitting on the bed with their arms on his knees and locking fingers. His hair looks so messy and his face looked so flushed with anger.
“What are you doing here?” His bloodshot eyes rose and met mine. A shiver ran through my body. God something is not good.
“So you come back. Tell me Miss. Rose, how's your night? Did he have enough for you? Did he make you satisfied?” How dare he?
“Ronald! You're crossing the limits.” He laughs and stands up.
“You smell like him.” Leaning close he smells me but instead of me, he's smelling the worst. His breath is full of whisky and hate.
“Yes, because I’m with him. He Satisfies me. He makes me happy one day and you know what he's not you.” Before his anger touched me by using his hand Brooks punched hard on his face. This is not expected.
“How dare you touch her?” It's not only Brooks. The second punch comes from Ronald's side. Then go on punch after punch. Both look like wild lions trying to rule. They need to stop immediately.
“Ronald stop it.” Why are they fighting?
Nothing.
“Brooks! Don't.. both stop it.” Theo is not here. Who is going to stop them?
“Ronald.” As soon as my arms circle Ronald's body his body starts losing and stops punching. When he turns I take a step back. He's not Ronald. Like thousands, monsters came in one place. He's groaning. His heavy and harsh breath I feel through my arms. My body fell on the bed when he pushed for another punch.
“Ronald.” But my scream immediately stops him. He's not Ronald. I never saw him so angry.
“Look at you Ronald, what are you doing? She's here.”
“Not with me. Not for me. You take revenge.” What are they talking about? Which Revenge?
“Still blind Ronald. Fine, you never trust me but Rose... she's the one you loved the most.” He looked at me and looked away in a second. His eyes said everything. The wall between us did not grow fast and separated us.
“So you do not even trust her. How blind you're fucker?” They come closer again but I stop them.
“Please Brooks., Ronald.”
“Start remembering my promise, Rose.” No. He can't bring that time again in my life. No, he can't show me the hell again. He can't.....
“Ronald please....” He ignores my words and is gone. Painful memory running again like a picture.
“Rose..”
“Please Brooks go. I want to be alone...and please clean your face.” When the door closed my breath left my whole body so sudden in a blink and it fell on the floor. I need .. everything black.
My heavy eyes open with so much shine around me. Where am I? Something soft under my body like a mattress and a blanket covered me. My head is heavy with pain and my lips dry like a desert. It's my room and I’m on my bed.
Who put me on the bed? Who cares about me? No one here. Still last night's clothes on me. Then I heard a clear voice and Brooks came inside.
“Good morning. How are you now?” He looks so horrible with a swallowed cheek and black eyes. My eyes blinked rapidly in horror.
“I... fine but what about your face?” He came and sat next to me.
“Yeah.. your macho man has powered more than me. He controls his loss on one for you.” Where's he? Why is he not here?
“You put me on the bed.”
“Yes.” My face drops after not hearing about him. He's angry with me but why?
“Ronald..”
“I want to show you something. It's about Jessie.” Jessie? What? My sleepy eyes awake so suddenly.
“What? She's fine? Where's Ronald?”
“Wait! Look at these.” He showed me social media which was filled with news about Jessie. Someone attacks her. It looks like Robbery. My body went cold. Someone attacked...
“I need to see Ronald..” Slipping from the bed I run towards the door with cold.
“He's not here. He's gone after the news.” My hand stopped on the doorknob. He left me alone here. He knows what Jessie means to me and...
“Go and change, we're going in my plane.” After he left I lost all my strength. Jessie is in danger because of me. No one knows what I’m feeling. The person behind all this is Laura. She's playing her game and Ronald has gone without informing me. How dare he?
In the bathroom, I lost my step and fell on the floor in panic. What if she was killed... no. I can't take a risk. My priority is Jessie and for Ronald also.
“Dad please tell me what can I do? Everything spreads like the piece. If I choose Jessie then Ronald.. just gave me some strength.” After getting ready I try to call Ronald but it's unreachable then I call Jessie but it's switched off.
“Shit.”
Brooks takes me in his plane and during the ride, my mind runs to Jessie and Ronald. But I need to meet Laura first. Today she's going to answer all my questions. Brooks calmed me but nothing. As soon as he drops me outside Jessie's building it's blocked because of the paparazzi. Heavy security with staff controlling reporters and paparazzi.
“Excuse me, I'm Mr. Ronald's secretary. My name is Rose, you can call me Mr. Ronald..”
“You're not allowed here, Miss. Rose. It's Mr. Ronald's strict order.”
What?
“No, I think it's a mistake. Theo! Hey! Look here.” Theo standing over there handling everything. He saw me calling him and approached.
“Theo I want to go inside. Please let me go.”
“I’m sorry Miss. Rose but Mr. Ronald gave us an order not to allow anyone and especially you.” What? How dare he?
Why?
“But why?”
“Sorry but it's an order.”
