I stood in Chuck's room with a razor. He had actually trusted me to shave his stubble, which is wondering when I heard footsteps enter.
"You're home." We heard Eric. I wiped my brothers chin "And your helping him shave."
"My plans for the evening got held up at customs. This is a trust exercise." Chuck replied glancing at our step brother through the mirror.
"Your Dad just insinuated that Jonathan might be dating someone else. How and why would he know that?" Eric wondered. Chuck wrapped his arms around my waist making me sit down with him.
"He has PI on retainer, like I do." Chuck answered
"I get that for business, but for family and for friends of family it's just creepy."
"I wouldn't worry. Daddy's people are topnotch and very discreet. Do you remember our old place with the files on any one and every one from staff to senators." I stood up and went to get my glass of water.
"When I was 13 i found the most amazing surveillance photos of Gina our hot Italian au pair. Those photos and Gina changed my life."
"Yes he was a perv from a very young age. And she let him, hence why she was deported and sent to jail." I add with a small scowl.
"What if I don't want my life to change. What else does he know?" Eric wondered sitting on the bed
"Eric, I wouldn't read to much into it. He does it for protection, when you rise as high as he does people are out to get him, If he knows in advance he can nip anything threatening in the bud." I told him. I break free of Chucks tentative grip to stand.
"How much do you want to find out." Chuck stood as well.
"Chuck, no. This will only cause trouble." I stand between them "Eric drop it. My father is only trying to protect you. Promise me you won't go looking for trouble." they didn't say anything
"Boys!" I warn them. Chuck turns to me "Of course sister. I promise." I walk out and to my room.

"Rose, i need you to promise me something." Serena stormed into my room as I was looking through dresses for the tame event, something not to flashy but pretty I was thinking.
"What and why?" I wonder admiring the dress.
"I need you not to talk to Aaron about the old me." I raise an eyebrow turning my full attention to her. "I just got him to myself and I want to do it over time."
"Whatever." I shrug, I had no interest right now on being a bitch.
"Thank you." she left and I finished getting ready after finally picking one to wear.
"I think he's probably just jealous" I heard Serena as I walked out of my room. She was with Aaron who i personally didn't care for but he's just another boyfriend.
"Who's jealous?" I question making myself known. "Aaron."
"Hello, Rosalie. i was just talking about...."
"No one. It's nothing. I love your dress." I gave her a questioning look but continued on anyway.
"Thank you. Chuck had it flown in from Paris, a while back." I smoothed it out
"You know you two have something in common. Not drinking." Serena laughed awkwardly.
"Hmm, that's nice. Is my father back yet?" I question.
"No, not yet."
"Okay, well I'm going to my room to play with Moon. Will you let me know when more people arrive." she nods and I turn walking back.
