Between Love and Time | Chaelisa

Chapter 36 Promise Me

Saturday, December 13th, 2019. Two weeks later.

Lisa still had a week left of filming in Canada, but this was very different from the last time she had spent a month separated from the English woman. This time she had invited Rosé so she could enjoy and get to see another place. They wouldn't sleep in the same hotel room; per Rosé's request; she didn't want to be seen together. They would enjoy each other's company during the night whenever the paparazzi and fans were miles away.

Every day and every second that passed, Lisa's desire to ravage Rosé's body in every possible way increased, but something in her heart kept telling her that if she did that, she would be making a grave mistake. Despite this, the cast and crew felt that the model had a different attitude but didn't know the reason why. She had a beaming smile. Even if they had to repeat the same scene dozens of times, Lisa wouldn't give a single complaint.

Lisa had taken Rosé to Canada to keep her close just in case her time had come. She wanted to be there for her when it was her time to leave. Manoban was trying to live in a fairy tale. The model tried not to dwell on the underlying issues, and she avoided Jungkook's questions about the blonde. Coming back to Los Angeles and thinking things through over and over again, Lisa realized that it was time to face what was worrying her and figure out the missing gaps of information she needed. She needed to talk with Rosé Cavendish.

It was Saturday. The sun was shining at its highest peak, but its heat wasn't enough to warm the girls up. The low temperatures were prevailing. Everything was cold to the touch, and the trees continued to shed their yellow leaves.

Rosé poked her head around the kitchen. Lisa was staring at the mixture she was stirring. She was so concentrated. Rosé was entranced by her Castleton eyes, her doll-like profile. Everything about the model was making the blonde blush.

"Hello, miss Manoban." Lisa raised her head and smiled at the weary blonde. Rosé's hair was a mess, and she hadn't taken off Lisa's Football Jersey. "Forgive me. Sorry for waking up so late."

"Reading novels again?" Rosé nodded with a small, shy smile. "I'm making lunch. Baked fish with roasted potatoes paired with white wine. How does that sound?"

"Incredible." Rosé approached her from behind to relish in her warmth. "Your words from last night worried me. What's the matter?"

Lisa placed her mixture to the side before turning. "Don't take this the wrong way. These past few days have been amazing, but I can't keep seeing everything with rose-colored glasses. Do you know where I'm coming from?" Lisa caressed the face of the girl in front of her. She didn't want to upset Rosé, but she wanted to be transparent about her own feelings. "Ever since you told me...that you know, were from the past, my mind has been trying to block the fact that you have to leave." Her voice quivered. She looked to the side, hoping that the tears she was trying to hold back would go away. "A million thoughts are running through my mind, but there are also a million wishes in my heart. There are so many voids and answers that I need to fill. I don't want you to leave and feel like I didn't do anything for you."

Rosé nodded. She knew there were things they still needed to discuss. "Let's have lunch, and we can sit down and talk about everything without hiding anything. Do you agree?"

The model accepted the offer before Rosé could swoop in to give her a tender kiss. Shit. How could she not miss her? She was already missing her!

"Go take a shower if you want. When you're finished, I should have everything ready." Lisa whispered in her ear. Shortly afterward, Rosé slipped out of her arms and flirtatiously walked through her bathroom.
