I groan as I snuggle closer to the person next to me, trying to shield my face from the bright light coming through the curtains. A phone rings from one of the night stands, destroying the silence in the room. Opening one of my eyes, I am met by the sight of Rose hugging a big penguin plushie as my head lays in the crook of her neck.
Her cropped hoodie had lifted and my hand rested lightly on her bare skin. I run my fingers softly against her smooth tan skin. Tracing over the ink that laced the skin on her back. The words tattooed on her said 'It's never too late to be who you wanna be' She looked as beautiful sleeping as she did while awake.
Lifting my hand off of her slowly, I started to get off the bed to grab her phone.Rose had one leg bent over on the comforter as she hid her face between the penguin and the bed. Her hair was wild as she laid on her stomach. When I finally reach her phone, a name lights up the screen in Korean.
I knew some of the language by heart to so I can easily translate the name to say mom. I bend down next to the bed as I start to lightly shake Rose awake. As much as I hate waking her up, I know she wouldn't want to miss her mothers call.
"Rosie," I say, my voice rough and tired from sleep. Moving her hair out of her face as I call out her name over and over again until I see her finally open her pretty eyes.
"Mhm," She mumbles, yawning. I wait until she is finally coherent enough to tell her that her mom had been calling her. The minute Rose hears that she is up and out of bed already calling her mom's number back.
Rubbing a hand down my face, I get back into bed. Pulling the covers over me and laying my head down on the big penguin. I listen quietly at the sound of Rose speaking hurriedly in Korean.
The language ran smoothly off her tongue and after a few more minutes, Rose finally walked out of the bathroom and back into our room. "Where are you going?" I ask her, watching as she starts to gather her things. My heart nearly dropped at the thought of her leaving already.
"My mom and brother came down from Korea." Rose tells me, I get up off the bed and start to make my way towards her. My arms wrap around her small frame as I place a soft kiss on her collarbone, her shirt hanging off her shoulder.
"Come back to bed, for five minutes. Please." I whisper to her, feeling her relax in my arms. At first she is reluctant but after a few more pleas, Rose finally gives in.
I turn her around and lift the back of her legs as I walk over to our bed. Yanking up the blanket, I carefully place Rose onto the bed as I plop down on top of her with the blanket covering us. Her fingers run through my blonde hair as I snuggle closer towards her.
I fucking loved her touch.
I barely even remember falling asleep until I feel Rose slowly try to get out from under me. To make her job easier I rolled off of her, still acting like I was still asleep. I feel her let out a breath and get off the bed but not before placing a soft kiss on my forehead.
Precious. That's the word I would use to describe Rose. I peek one eye open, watching as Rose opens the bedroom door and walks out with her stuff before closing it. Opening both eyes a smile starts to form on my lips.

"How much longer?" Roman whines, he gasps the air dramatically. People start to look over at us with worried faces, I give them a small smile as I raise my hand to the back of Romans head and smack him.
He wraps his arms around his head while squealing "Abuse!" I chuckle before continuing our walk to find the bathroom. Roman decided it was a good day to go to the zoo. So here we are, at the zoo.
The only problem was that this dumbass drank a huge bottle of water and then he made us check out the gorilla exhibit. A gorilla came running full speed at him, making Roman 'tinkle' himself as he likes to call it.
"I can't believe you pissed yourself. All because a gorilla ran towards you. It's literally in a cage!" I exclaim, letting out a deep sigh as we finally find the bathroom. I open the door for Roman to walk through before following him inside.
"It's a fucking gorilla! It could have broken the glass and gobbled me up!" Roman proclaims. Yeah, like the zoo never thought to make sure that the glass was suitable to hold gorillas. This is why he never got accepted to that animal college he had applied to.
"Change into these and meet me outside," I tell him, handing over a bag with a pair of loose shorts. We had stopped by the gift shop to get some for him. I walk outside and lean up against the wall next to the bathroom door.
Taking out my phone, I start to scroll through social media while I wait for Roman. Finally, after a couple minutes the door opens. I watch as Roman basically struts out of the bathroom like he is hot shit.
Like he totally didn't piss himself.
"Come on, it's hot." I complain as I start to pull him towards the direction of the reptile house. He follows after me while complaining about how I messed up his chance with this really hot guy. This story is from two years ago.
"He was straight," I tell him, a laugh leaving my mouth.
"I could have turned him gay, I mean look at me." Roman says, one thing about him is that he thinks everyone wants him and when you try to tell him they don't, well then he stays in denial.
As much as I love to act mean and stuff to Roman, he is my best friend. I mean if you don't tell your best friend that they are little shits, what are you doing with your life?
It's our definition of a love language.
Speaking of love language, I miss Rosie. I had already spoken to Roman about everything and he keeps telling me to either ask her to marry me or to ask her out on a date or some shit.
