Her's Now, and Forever

~ Chapter 4 ~

{ Kamilia's POV }

I was waiting for Rose to pick me up but I was soooo nervous. I tried to keep my nervousness down as I laid out some food and water for Milk, scooping her litter. I thought to do this now because I wasn't sure how long I'd be at her house and I wanna make sure my baby is okay. I started to overthink more though, I mean, what if I say something wrong? What if I do something dumb and she doesn't like me anymore? I don't even know what we're doing at her house! Something snapped me out of those thoughts, it was a door bell. My door bell . . .

Okay Kamilia get yourself together. Just be yourself  

I got up nervously and opened the door, and I was greeted by with a warm smile from Rose. I took in her beauty for a second. Honestly, I'm glad I didn't wear a fancy dress or get Thea to do my make-up because she was dressed casually like me. She had a pastel yellow sweatshirt on with ripped blue jeans. I think she'd look good in anything, but that's just my opinion.

"Are you ready?" Rose asked, holding her hand out.

"Yeah, I'm really excited!" I pet Milk one last time before I close my front door and lock it. I turn to Rose and take her hand. We started to walk down the stairs and that was when I saw her beautiful car. She even opened the door for me, I thought that was so sweet of her. Rose hopped in and started to drive with some music on.

"How far is your place from here?" I ask, I was very curious to be honest. I don't mind long car rides, I like to look out the window at all the passing trees, buildings, people, the scenery is just very calming to me.

"It's about 20 minutes angel, don't worry, it isn't too long. Do you wanna have dinner at my place or do you want takeout?"

"Dinner at yours is fine, I didn't know you could cook! I'm a really good cook too, can I help?!" I asked, super excited. It's not that I don't like takeout, but I prefer to eat at home most of the time. Cooking is really fun and enjoyable for me, plus I feel more healthier when I do.

"Of course! And yeah I'm a good cook, my parents always taught me new recipes as a kid." She answered and I smiled at something we had in common, but I didn't really wanna talk about my parents so I stayed quiet after that. They . . . nevermind.

{ Time Skip }

Rose parked her car and we both got out. Her home looked lovely, it was a 2 story house with a modern/rustic feel. I thought it was very pretty, It's the type of home I've always wanted. Anyways, we walked towards the door and she unlocked it. We walked in and put our stuff down in the living room. Rose turned to me and smiled . . .

"Are we ready to cook now?" She asked.

"Yah!!" I skip over to her kitchen and I pause in awe. "IT'S SO BIG AND PRETTY !!!"

"Aww you're cute, and yeah I like my kitchen, well really the whole house to be open concept." Rose chuckles and walks over to the fridge.

"What do you wanna cook?" She asked.

"Chicken alfredo pleaseeee, It's really yummy and I've been craving it." I answer quick, I don't know how well she can cook, but I trust her sooo!

The next hour we spent cooking chicken alfredo. Rose started by taking out the chicken and cheeses we'd be using. I got to work and cut up the chicken in small pieces on her island. Rose stood behind me and hovered over me to make sure I was careful with the knife before she went to go grate the cheese. Next, she took out a pan to fry the chicken in and she slipped some seasonings in. Meanwhile, I was boiling the water for the pasta noodles. I seasoned the water too, bc I'm black OFC. While that was boiling, she put some minced garlic in with the chicken and we mixed up a sauce to go with it. After putting it in, the mixture boiled down and Rose added the pasta noodles while I looked through her cabinets and tried to find her plates.

I opened a cabinet and what I found was weird. There were sippy cups, bottles, and children's plates with disney characters on them. I wasn't sure why they were there, maybe she's a little too? Meh I don't know, I closed the cabinet and opened the next one, I finally found the plates there. I picked up two plates and placed them on the counter. Rose prepared our plates on the table while I cleaned up the mess we both made. We were finally done. Rose and I sat down as we took a bite of our plates.

"This tastes so good, I really appreciate your help. You're a genius for the extra spices!" Rose said with a big smile on her face.

"Nonono thank you! It was so fun cooking with you, I feel like Gordon Ramsey eating this." We both laughed and I smiled back at her.

We were both focused on eating our food, having small chats in between. When we spoke I couldn't help but focus on her eyes. Her eye's were so beautiful. I loved her face and the way she spoke, her voice, but especially her eyes. You could get so lost in them, they were just stunning. After 20 minutes, we were both done with our plates. I was about to put them in the sink before I heard a soft voice.

"Hey don't worry about the dishes, okay? I'll take care of them later, do you wanna go to my bedroom and watch a movie?" She grabbed my arm and spoke with a hint of sadness in both her voice and eyes. I hope she doesn't feel bad about me wanting to help. I don't mind it, really. But then again, movies sound super fun, and I'd hate to make her feel sad.

"Okayyyy, can we watch Moana? It's one of my favorites!" I nodded and spoke while she led me upstairs to her bedroom. When we finally walked in, I was amazed once again. It had a white themed and she had a huge tv on the wall, she even had a couch in front of her bed too! Her bed looked so soft and fluffy, modern decor and paintings were scattered along the walls. I noticed all around the room, there were plants. I love plants as well, damn we have a lot in common.

"Of course princess, anything you'd like. I didn't know you were such a Disney fan though." She laughed as I picked up the remote and put Moana on the tv.

We sat on the couch in her bedroom. The movie played for about 20 minutes, I love Moana but I wasn't really paying attention to the movie. I was paying more attention to Rose. It's not that I don't want to watch it, but I wanted her attention. I want her to hold me and cuddle me and hug me, but is that too early? I felt kinda sad because I feel needy and clingy already but we only just met. I think Rose noticed me feeling kinda down. She paused the movie and turned to me with a worried look on her face.

"Kamilia are you okay? You seem kinda sad, what's wrong?" She asked in a concerned voice.

"Yah it's nothing don't worryyy!" I said, trying to force a smile. I don't think she believed me though.

"You can tell me, I won't judge or tell you it's dumb or anything love. If you don't want to talk about it that's perfectly okay, but just know I'm here." She held my hand with both of hers as she looked into my eyes.

"Uhmmm well, I just really wanna hug you and cuddle with you. I wanted your affection and I  wasn't really sure how to ask." I admit in a quiet soft voice.

I don't know what she was thinking at the time but she just stood up suddenly.

Maybe that was too needy of me, she's probably sick of me now

"Let's go to my bed angel, I'm sure it's more comfortable there, mhm?" She said softly.

She took me by the hand and we got onto her bed. We unpaused the movie and for a second, I thought she had just ignored what I said, but when we laid down she wrapped her hands around me and we cuddled. Her embrace was so comforting and warm. I smiled, I felt like I was about to cry tears of happiness but I didn't. She's just so nice . . . so kind. She also smells really good. I kept stealing glances at her every now and then but I love her. I do, I love her so much. We cuddled all throughout the movie and every now and then, she'd pat my head or give some more affection.

 After the movie, we sat up and looked at each others face, her strawberry blonde hair was still curly and just as gorgeous as before she laid down. We just held hands and I wanted to cuddle some more, I don't care what we did together but I didn't want this moment to end.

"Kamilia, I . . ."
