Roses and time

Chapter 2

I lead her into my room and she sits on my bed, she looks around the room in wonder. I rummage through my drawers and get some jeans and a T-shirt.

    "Nice room" she says, I freeze and grimace she still seems to be smiling.

    "Yeah... I'm going to go take that shower...k?" I don't have much practice speaking to humans other than my mother.

I inch out of the room and escape to the bathroom, I turn on the hot water and slip into the shower. As the water warms I imagine the warm water washing away my nerves, soon the water is at a comfortable temperature I start washing my body and soon step out of the shower.

    I pull on my clothes and grab a brush, I pull my brush through my hair and untangle the knots in my Black hair.

When I was done I groaned, I'll have to go back and see Liliane. Maybe I'll have to spend the whole day with her, I shudder at the though of spending the whole day with her.

    I couldn't stay in the bathroom forever so I step out and creep over to my room, Liliane was not were I left her. She was exploring my room and looking in my Jewelry boxes, when she saw me she left the stuff alone and she walked towards me with an apologetic look.

    "Sorry, I was curious" she mumbled, I nod a little embarrassed by my room and the girly things my mom buys me that she might have found.

    "So what should we do?"  she asks suddenly, she sees my hesitation and responds herself "I was thinking that we could hang out in the Rose garden, I had my father rip out one of the rose bushes in their so we can plant the new rose combination I created!" she blabbers, I forgot her parents are filthy rich.

    "Wait, new rose combintation?" I ask, what could she mean by that?

    "Well your favorite rose is a purple rose and mine is a red rose so I mixed one so the edges come out red and the center is purple, It also has the perfume of purple roses." she whispers, my face heats up as I realize that she remembered my favorite rose from six years ago.

She grabs my hand and starts leading me out of the house, we pass by my mother whose face is clouded by surprise.

    "Kaitlyn's going out with me, is that all right?" She asks my mom, my mother jolts and nods her head. Liliane smiled and pulled me out the door, we raced to the garden and we soon found an empty spot.

The rose bush was in bloom and I gasped at the beauty of the rose. I took a step back,
" it's ok if you don't like it, we can rip out if your you don't and put just purple rose in.." she babbled

"No!" I shocked myself with the volume of my voice so I say the next part quietly " I think it's beautiful" Her eyes shine and a warm blush creeps up my cheeks.

She sits down and pats the spot next to her, as soon as I sit down she starts talking about our memories as kids.

We spent the rest of the day talking about our past and when twilight came I went home, grabbed a slice of pizza and went to bed. That night I could only think of her.
