“I don't know Rose. I'm trying but please...don't break.”
“I'm already broken, Brooks. He wants me to go and I think it's right for them also.”
“Look if it's all about that fucking news then believe me I’m ready for talking with him. I know it's all fake and we can prove it.”
“His aggression now is more than I think. Laura has done a good job this time.”
“She's playing with you again, Rose.”
“Please Brooks... let me go.”
It's our last conversation that happened late at night after I told him my decision. He is constantly trying to stop me from resigning but it's the best option for us. Now I’m standing outside Ronald's office wanting to go inside but my feelings are fighting with each other. It's early morning so maybe he's in his office or not. Don't know why I came here so early?
A heavy roar of thunder takes me into reality. Today I came here as Rose, who lives a simple life. Putting the raincoat aside, my foot entered the building. Everything is so empty. No employees and no voice. I know he's in his office. My heart felt presence. Entering the elevator I hold my breath for a second and press the button. The door opens and everything stops. My heavy feet start working in slow motion. It's my last time in this office. I'm going to miss them again. What about Ronald? He hated me when he saw me here the first time and is still the same. Not an inch change for him so I should leave him alone in his life.
Taking a deep and shaky breath I open the door. Still, the same as last night I left. Every single thing on the floor. My feelings and my reputation. He's on a bed sleeping in office clothes with a large bottle half-empty on the floor. He’s stopped in the office? Reaching closer I sit on the bed. He looks so gorgeous and cute. Never think Ronald is the most handsome man in the whole world. The small boy with a cute smile one day broke the girl's smile. When I run my fingers in his hair he moans and calls me.
“Look at us Ronald, we're so close but far away. We want each other but we can't. I tried not to come into your life but it's our connection or I... I don't know why we met again. You think I’m bad for you and Jessie but I need time to prove myself for you and Jessie. You have every right to know who you are and Jessie and when the time comes I’m the first who's going to hold you in my arms. I love you Ronald forever. I'm going, Ronald. You can live peacefully in your life.” I left him sleeping and cleaning his office. Throwing things in the trash I set desk for him. Placing the resignation letter on his desk I came outside and closed the door behind myself.
Coming outside from the elevator I covered myself with a raincoat and started walking. Now I need to think about my new life. I have no time so the first thing I have done after coming home starts packing. But then I hear my phone ringing again and again. Ronald's name flashing on it. He's calling me but I never picked his phone.
Why? This is what you want. When I started my job I thought my whole life was going to be changed and yes it changed when I met him again. My handsome Ronald, the most wanted bachelor in New York. Girls who came to meet him always asked me how I can control myself around him? Whoever loves each always takes care of other feelings. His feelings for me are not the same. He's changed and here he's wrong.
His single thing after use he throws now mine. His perfume, favorite candy when he enjoys eating alone. His favorite tie and favorite pen. I stole not our moments but his things also. I hear the phone but this time Jessie. I picked it immediately.
“H.. hello Jess.”
“Rose, how are you?”
“Jess, can you tell me how are you? I hear...”
“I'm absolutely fine, baby. Look, I know today that it's Ronald who stops you from coming here.” God, I hate tears when they come when I’m happy.
“It's okay but your baby.”
“Fine and listen dad wants to meet you so come today for dinner. You're going to meet my husband also. Are you coming or not?” If Ronald knows about me coming on dinner then. He's already angry with me and after my resignation...
“If you're thinking about Ronald then don't worry I can handle him.”
“Yes, I’m coming.”
“Good I’m waiting. Love you.”
“Take care.” She cut the phone in happiness without listening to my words. I left my packing there and went out to buy some flowers for Jessie. She loves Roses means me. In between my phone constantly ringing and every time my heart skips a beat. Like he's standing always waiting for me to do something. He’s waiting for me to break again.
Why am I so scared of thinking about his reaction? It’s good for me to stay away from him. So I spend my time outside on the street and in the park. Why this time I’m feeling negative like something worse is going to happen? Maybe I'm scared about my resignation.
When evening came I brought some flowers and spent my last penny on buying a champagne bottle for them. It's not good going empty handed. Well, dad teaches me a good lesson. When the cab driver dropped me outside her building my foot stopped immediately. Theo standing outside with Ronald's car. He's there? Oh god. Suddenly my cool and calm body starts sweating again. The fear I left on the street growing inside mine again. Ignoring him I walked fast and entered the elevator. Five minutes later the door opened and my breathing changed. God the environment feels so tense because of his smell filled in my nose. He's around me. With light footsteps...
“So you're here Miss Rose?” I jumped in Ronald's voice. Anger and passion mix with worry and pain. He's wearing a black t-shirt with jeans and messy hair.. stop it. Wow, he looked so different. He's standing against the wall with a glass of wine.
“H.. h.”
“You're shaking.” Really? He saw me from far away.
“Y.. no I mean it's cold outside.” He's making me so nervous. This aura was so different and powerful.
“You're lying.”
“No.” My body is trying to show him confidence by making a body posture.
“So you have time for coming here not to pick my phone. You're not in the office. Well, we're talking later but now Jess your guest is here.” He called her and came forward. My hands tight on the bottle feel like his power is reaching me. Why do I suddenly feel so cold? We haven't broken eye contact. His dark green eyes pin me in place.
“Thanks for the bottle.” Taking the bottle from my hands he was gone. What? Gone without saying. Looks like he was still unaware of the resignation. He doesn't know? Yes, that's why he's talking with me so calmly. Shit! That’s more scary.
“You made it.”
“Jess.” Jessie's voice takes my heart. She looks worse with a swallowed cheek. But well covered by makeup.
“Jess, how are you?” She immediately ran and came into my arms. Don't cry. But my always emotional eyes start leaking with tears.
“I'm fine. You tell me what happened to you and your face.”
“Horrible. Thank god for the first time someone told her how bad she's looking right now.” My sentence was completed by a good-looking man.
“You..”
“Excuse me! Let me introduce myself. I'm Sebastian Brooks.” My mouth opens and closes. I know this face.
“You're... I mean you're..”
“Don't tell me you met my brother.” Brooks?
“Not met but she spent one night with your brother. She fuck your brother. Don't you see today's newspaper, Jessie. Your friend and your brother on the front page with erotic headlines and pictures.” Good now, this is my first impression of Jessie's husband. I looked shocked but Sebastian smiled at me.
“Stop it, Ronald. Let's go inside Rose and ignore him.”
“For you.” She takes Roses from my hands and smells them.
“I love Roses.” Jessie pulls me with her but I know she's unaware of us. Ronald followed us inside. Jessie takes me to the living room where my happiness broke every wall. Ronald’s dad sitting there.
“Dad! Look who's coming?”
“Rose.” My goodness, he looks so handsome with a wrinkled face but the same father figure.. He means a lot to me. He's like my father.
“Hello, Mr. Carlo.” He's home. After my dad, he's one of them I worship.
“Just Carlo.”
“Hi, baby.” We all turn with the voice and a girl half naked standing in front of us.
“God no.”
