Chapter 21

rosé's pov

I open the door, and there's Jennie standing with her arms crossed and a rather pissed off look on her face.

"I'll have you know, that I am missing the basketball game for this. Whatever this emergency is, it better be good." She clears her throat and walks in the house. I smile at my friend and reassure her. "Trust me, it's something."

I have her sit on my couch, as I stand in front of the TV, pacing. "I walked into the kitchen earlier, right? And I grab an apple from the fridge. I turn around, and there is my mother. Standing in the middle of the living room."

Jennie's mouth falls open.

"What?? After 3 weeks, she just waltzes in? Did she at least have an explanation?" She asks. I nod my head and tell her what my mom told me. Jennie just holds her head, presumably from a headache.

"But that's not even the best part." I finish. Jennie looks at me, puzzled. I smile at her. "I told her that I have a date tomorrow. With a girl. And she said she'd try her best to support and understand."

Jennie stands up. "What?? And you believe her?"

I shrug. "Part of me does. I want to believe her at least. I'm just scared to tell Jisoo. She doesn't particularly like my mother."

Jennie looks at me. "You mean you haven't told your girlfriend yet about your mom coming back home? Wtf?" My eyes widen. "Shit. I guess I should have done that. I just didn't know how I could."

Jennie laughs. "Yeah. You very well can't go 'Hey babe guess what? My abusive mother that ran off, came back from a secret rehab facility and she's all better now. Let's go get sushi.'" She laughs even harder. I just hit her arm. "Shut up. Also I'm really nervous for tomorrow. It's our first actual date. How do I act, how do I dress?" I start hyperventilating. Jennie rolls her eyes.

"First of all, Jisoo likes you for you, so just be yourself. As far as dress, just be casual but cute. Hot, but simple. And make sure you guys make a reservation or else you'll be screwed."

After a little while longer of talking, Jennie leaves. I look at the time and realize I need to leave for work in like 15 minutes. I quickly grab my stuff and run out the door after saying goodbye to my mom.

I drive for a little over 10 minutes and realize that today is Jisoo's first day on the job. And I also realize with absolute dread, that I have to tell her about my mom.

I get out of the car and walk into the building. Jisoo is already in there, talking to my coworker and my boss. They all look over and Jisoo smiles. "Hi Rosie! Welcome in." She says as a joke. I smirk and walk behind the counter to clock in.

Our coworker, Daisy, clears her throat. "Okay, well I'm gonna take off. I have to study for a microbiology test. I have no idea how I'm gonna pass. Talk to you guys later." She waves and walks out the building.

"Microbiology? How old is she?" Jisoo asks, confused. I laugh and shake my head. "Daisy is 20. But she acts like a 15 year old." I whisper.

Just then, Kelly gets our attention. "Okay girls. If you guys are going to work together, y'all need to focus. Rosé, you're gonna show Jisoo how to do everything. Jisoo, you have to watch and follow her every move. Think you can manage?" She asks.

Jisoo nods her head. "Yes ma'am, definitely." I note a small smirk from my girlfriend.

Kelly smiles. "Okay, good luck. I'm going home for now. If you girls need anything, call me. And Rosé, remember we have that shipment coming in tonight. You know the protocol."

A few minutes later, I'm showing Jisoo how we restock. She picks it up easily, as does she with ringing up orders, customer service and inventory. She was made for this job.

Eventually, during a lull, we're standing behind the counter, holding hands. We've kissed a few times. I look around and realize that we need a sweep. I grab the broom and look at Jisoo.

"I'm going to sweep the store. If someone comes in and you don't know how to help them, call me over." I tell her. She nods and pulls out her phone.

-jisoo's pov-

I'm standing behind the counter, on my phone when the door's bell jingles. I look up and smile. "Hello, welcome in.." I start, but trail off when I see who it is.

It's Rosie's mom.

She smiles at me and walks over. "Hey, you're Chae's girlfriend, right? Do you know where my daughter is?" I nod my head and walk over to Rosé.

She looks up and me and tilts her head. "Hey what's up?" She asks. I shake my head. "Can you come to the register. Someone wants to see you." I say and turn around. Rosie follows me. And as soon as she sees who it is, she pauses.

"Hey, Mom.. what are you doing here?" She asks, glancing over at me. I walk back to behind the counter.

Rosie's mom shrugs. "I was bored and wanted to meet your girlfriend. She's pretty." She whispers.  Rosie nods awkwardly. "Yeah, I know."

After a few more minutes, Rosé's mom leaves. I clear my throat. "So, when were you planning on telling me your mom was back?" I ask, sounding more upset than I felt. Rosé cringes. She walks over to me and takes my hand.

"I was going to tell you. But I was scared. I know you don't like my mom, and with good reason. But she's changed, and she came back. I just found out today. She walked into the house. She told me she got rehab. And that she'd try to support me and my relationship with you." She spits out. I nod my head. "I only told Jennie because I needed to vent to someone and I didn't want to bother you. Are you mad?"

Rosie looks at me and I smile. "No, I'm not mad. Just a little disappointed and confused. I'm glad your mom is back and doing better. I didn't know she was on drugs." I say, grabbing her hands. Rosie smiles and kisses my nose. "We should probably start doing closing chores. It's almost 9." She says.

About 30 minutes later, we walk out and lock the front door. We make a plan for our date tomorrow.

"I'll pick you up at your house tomorrow at 6:30." Rosie says. I nod my head and give her a small kiss. "Okay. I'll see you tomorrow then. Goodnight."
