Rose pov:
The next morning I am woken up by my phone ringing like crazy. I try sitting up, but my head hurts and feels like somebody knocked me out last night.
God, I hate drinking. I will never touch another drink in my life!
I see that Poppy is calling me. Bloody hell, what time is it anyway. Seven o'clock. That bitch wakes me up at seven o'clock on my holiday. Hell no I am not answering.
The next thing I know someone is knocking on my door. "Rose, get up girl. We are going shopping.".
I raffle myself out of bed. Tripping twice on the way to the door. I open the door and she eyes me from head to toe and starts laughing "Good morning sunshine, it seems like you had a short night." She says whiles walking past me.
"No shit Sherlock", I follow her back into my room.
"So we are going to go to the valley shopping. I was told they have some really cute stuff. Plus my dad got your dad to let us go by ourselves. Well not completely of course, but minimum security. " she says whiles turning around to me, however, her eyes are suddenly stock to my neck "I knew you were a little hoe Rose, who was the lucky guy?" She says excitement in her voice.
Fuck. I wasn't ready to tell her everything. Especially because I was angry that he just left me standing like that. So I gave my best innocent act "What do you mean?".
"Don't give me that Rose. I had plenty of hickeys before and I know what they look like and you miss definitely have a hickey" she says coming closer.
"It's nothing, okay? I really don't want to talk about it. Let's just say I kind of lost it after my dad send me out." Thankfully she left it at that. I knew the conversation wasn't over yet, but I knew she would leave me alone for a little bit.
I quickly got dressed and we headed down to the breakfast area. I chose to wear white skiing trousers, some silver moon boots, and a silver jacket.
Poppy was dressed similarly to me just that her outfit was all black.
We sat down and the waitress took our orders. I ordered myself some tea and an avocado toast. Poppy ordered pancakes and coffee. We sat there just talking about our life and what we have been up to.
I looked up and saw one of my dad's men walking toward our table. He bent down and whispered in my ear "Your father would like to speak to you when you are back.".
Oh Fuck, what now? Maybe he saw Elijah and me yesterday or someone informed him about my little trip to the hotel bar. I am never ever drinking again in my entire life!
"Thank you for delivering the message tell him I will message the Don when I am back from the valley." I smiled at him and he walked away.
Suddenly I felt someone give me a kiss on my head and turned around promptly. I knew it wasn't him. I didn't feel any sparks.
Behind me stood one of my oldest cousins Andrew. He was wearing snow trousers and some big boots, as well as a turtleneck jumper. He was a man I respected a lot. He had good morals. I smiled up at him. He also went over to Poppies side and kissed her on the head. "How are the two most gorgeous girls today?" He said, whiles grabbing a chair to sit down. I was kind of glad that he took a seat because poppy couldn't ask me more about the hickeys. We started to talk about the good old times, but I zoned out as soon as they started talking about finances. I mean come on its math. Who talks about math on their holiday. I looked around the room. Don't ask me why but I again got this feeling that he was here somewhere. And then I found him and it actually hurt seeing him like that. Is he kidding me? Is he actually married? Next to him was a beautiful woman and a small child both of them were laughing at something the gorgeous little girl did. I felt angry. Is this what jealousy felt like. I felt like killing him and her. "Rose, Rose..." I snapped out of it as Andrew tried to get my attention.
"Are you ok?" he asked looking in the direction I was looking at earlier and started frowning. I could see that he saw Elijah, but I hope he didn't think much of it. "Yes, of course!" I lied, giving him a fake smile. "Ok good. I will be coming to the Valley with you guys. I will be meeting with a friend." he said.
We finished our breakfast and walked towards the entrance of the hotel. I tried not to look in his direction anymore, but I couldn't help myself and looked back to him. He was putting his arm around the woman, laughing, but also looked up. He stopped laughing, but I turned around. I know I have only met him, but it hurt seeing him with someone else. Especially when he looked so happy. I hope going shopping and drinking some hot chocolate will help get him off my mind.
