LOVE

Chapter 16

Rose : Age 20
Sam : Age 25
August is Rose's favorite month. The nights out, early swims, weddings and more importantly being surrounded with friends and family. She loved every moment of it.

It was already the last week of August and Rose's last week in Tunisia. For the first time, Sam stayed in Tunisia for as long as Rose was there. They've gotten so close during the last year and now they are almost inseparable, which made their family happy. At least now they know for sure each of them is taken care of really well.

For her whole stay, Rose didn't really do what she wanted, but more what others wanted, she was just available for everyone and instead of thinking what she wanted to do, she thought of what her friends wanted. But it was the last week and Rose was craving a night out, she just had to dance. Even if she loved being in Paris, coming back is always a bit depressing since it marks the end of summer's freedom and back to responsibility and work.

She needed to dance her pain away, like she'd been doing for almost her entire life.

Unfortunately Marley wasn't in Tunisia, he got a job offer to film a commercial, so he was gone for a week and won't be back until the day before she takes off.

Sam was at home, missing Rose. He saw her this morning but he needed to see her again, he couldn't understand how he could miss her in such a short time. for the past two years that they've become closer. He discovered a whole new person, the real Rose, he used to know her as the fun girl who was always smiling and giving her energy to others, but now he felt more close to her then anyone, he had seen her in all her states, she became the only person who made him feel good about himself, she was the one person he can act like himself around, she understood him and made him feel comfortable. He needed and wanted to be around her.

While Sam was laying on his bed watching a, it popped in his head, Rose was home alone, her parents are out with some friends and Marley wasn't here, it would be the perfect moment to call her and invite her over to watch a movie. Before her, he used to love staying alone. He's built a bubble and no one could break it, but Rose did, she broke it and she was there with him and surprisingly he let her and even encouraged it. What he didn't know at that time, he was falling for her, he wanted to be around her because he wanted her, but soon he would discover it.

Once she came over, she was wearing this cute sun flowery tank top and shorts. When he saw her, his smile was unhide-able, for him, she was the prettiest woman from far and none could compete. In this room, she asked for a beer and so he went hurrying to bring her one but by the time he came back she was already on the phone with Marley. He heard her talking with him, telling him about her day, how much she loved him. He was sick of hearing it, he was jealous, he knew it for the first time, he realized he was jealous of Marley. After five minutes, which felt like an eternity for Sam, Rose hung up and looked at him thinking, "I want to dance!" She said, "You want to go somewhere?" "No, I was thinking more about putting music on and dancing!" He loved the idea, the two of them dancing . What a pleasure! He went to see if there was anyone home so he knew how loud the music can be, and luckily no one was there! They moved to the first floor to the living room, he fixed two cocktails and put the music at it loudest. After some songs, finally a slow dancing song, he'd been waiting for it, he took her hand "shall we Ms.Rose ?" With the biggest smile she replied "With pleasure sir!" He couldn't take his eyes off of her, her smile, the way she held his hand and gave him all of her trust. Everything was perfect, she looked at him then whispered "Thank you!" He smiled at her and at that specific moment he knew, everything was clear.

Rose was the one he wanted to be with.
