A random act of kindness [George Russel]

Chapter 11

ROSIE POV:

It's the 13th of February and she's looking around her place for one of her favourite sweaters that she wants to bring with her on the little getaway that George planned. He is taking Rosie somewhere unknown to her, since it's valentine's tomorrow and his birthday the day after. Rosie hears her phone ring in the pile of clothes and sees George's photo on the screen. "Hey babe, Luna and I will pick you up in a minute so we can drop her off at my parents together" she hums, "yeah that's okay. Did you by any chance see my message and find my purple knitted sweater at your place? I can't find it and I really want to bring it." He chuckles, "I did, also your favourite black pants and the coat you wanted to wear, put it all in the car so don't worry. I'm two blocks away from you now, so will see you soon!" Rosie tells him that that's okay before grabbing the last things and putting her shoes on, closing the door to her apartment behind her before walking down the stairs.

She was almost never home the last few months, mostly at George's or abroad. The only times she's home is to water her plants, or to find a certain clothing item that she wants to wear. Rosie smiles when she sees George waving at her from the driver's seat. She puts her bag in the trunk before sliding into the backseat so she can entertain Luna. "Hello, my beautiful girl" she tells her while pressing a kiss on her head. She leans forward, while George is leaning towards her already to kiss him softly. "Hello, my beautiful girl" he says with a smile, and Rosie giggles. "Hello handsome, are you finally telling me where we're going?" he laughs, "yeah, to my parent's house to drop Lunes off" he winks at her through the rear-view mirror before focussing on the road again.

"Guys you really should go now, before you know it it's the 16th and you'll be reunited with Lunes again" George's father chuckles while he looks at Rosie and George who can't stop playing with Luna on the floor. "Alright, yes, we'll leave now" George says, kissing Luna goodbye for the millionth time before Rosie does the same. Steve picks the little girl up before following them to the front door, "wave bye to mommy and daddy" he says, and Luna waves happily at Rosie and George. "Bye sweetheart" George says, while Rosie intertwines their fingers and smiles at Luna and Steve, "bye bijou! See you soon!"

Rosie looks out of the window while stroking George's hand that's resting on her thigh. He's humming along to the music, and she looks at him with a loving smile. "It feels weird to not sit in the back with Luna" she says, and George looks at her with a chuckle. "I can imagine that. I like you sitting next to me though. Have you figured out where we're going to by now?" she shakes her head with a pout, and George laughs. "I think you will soon when we're closer to our end destination. I have no plans for tonight though, figured we'd cook some dinner and have a lazy evening?" Rosie hums, "I'm fine with that, we should buy some groceries then though."

Rosie looks around excitedly while George manoeuvres the car further towards the seaside. They picked up groceries a while ago because George said they were almost there. The little cottages become less and less, which confuses Rosie. "Are we sleeping outside or something?" she looks at George who laughs, "no, of course not silly. I just wanted the one with the most privacy" he winks at her, and she giggles. "I like that we're staying here though, I've never been to North Yorkshire."

The cottage is secluded due to some big trees around it, there is a panoramic view when you look towards the sea, and it makes Rosie so happy that she can't stop smiling and looking around. The cottage itself is cosy and warm, the fireplace was already lit, and there was some wood outside that they could chop if they wanted to keep it on. It's a small space, but that makes it even nicer for this getaway. Rosie walks towards George who's making a simple pasta dish in the kitchen, softly singing along to a song that's on. She wraps her arms around him, laying her face against his back, "thank you for organising this all babe." George hums, finishing up the last bits before turning around in her arms and kissing hher softly. "For you I'd do anything love. Let me grab some plates now and we can eat, okay?"
