Finding Love

Rosalie

"Entering somebodies life means you take on the world together. Am I ready for that?"

Mateo rushed us inside the hotel, of course fans were lined up outside and screamed when they saw us. We both had hats and sunglasses on and were escorting by his managers to the elevators. 

He kept his hand on my back and we finally got to his room. It had been a day and I deserved to give my mother an explanation. Mateo went to get some ice down the hall and I rang my mother 

"Rosalie! You finally answer" she yelled 

"Im sorry a lot is going on" I tried to explain 

"You're all over social media, I was so worried. What is going on? Who is that man?" she was asking so many questions I couldn't even answer. This is what I tried to avoid, I was not ready for this conversation

"Mom, he's a friend that I met during work. Our relationship is not finalized were just hanging out" I said trying to find my words. I had no idea what to call Mateo and I, nothing was really set. We're just two people getting to know each other 

"Mmmm, some friend. I wish you'd tell me sooner so I wouldn't be learning from the media" she cried but I was not going to feed into the dramatics. Mateo stepped back in, "how is it going?" he asked me 

"Is that the man?" my mother shouted loud enough for him to hear. 

"Yes" I said rolling my eyes. Mateo smirked at her comment and the ice on top of counter, as my mother was talking I got an incoming call 

"Hold on, mom" I said hanging up to answer 

"Hello?" I questioned because not checking the caller ID

"Rosalie, it's me Devon" I froze hearing his voice, "I was on twitter and saw you with some Brazilian man and had to check on you. People have been bashing your name and I know that's not you" he semi laughed to himself 

Mateo mouthed who was on the phone, "Devon why are you calling?" I asked. Mateo looked at me shocked and crossed his arms stepping closer to hear our conversation

"Because I wanted to get confirmation from you. I mean I've been telling everyone we were working on things and now your all over social media up on this soccer player like a whore" she yelled

My eyes widen at what he just called me and Mateo grabbed the phone, "Who are you calling a whore?" he questioned. I got up fast and tried to hang up but Mateo pushed me back

"Are you the dude in the picture?" Devon asked with disgust

"Yea now answer the question" Mateo snapped back. There was too much going on right now, "Mateo stop it! Give me my phone back" I begged reaching for it

"Yo, put Rose back on. I didn't call to talk to you and keep your hands off my girl" Devon answered. I watched Mateo's face turn red from frustration and before he could reply I finally got my phone

"Devon stop! You've done enough, goodbye" I said hanging up and rubbing my forehead

"What the fuck Rose? How you going to let him talk to us like that?" Mateo yelled at me

I was not in the mood for any arguments between the two. Devon was in the past and didn't need to be in our business, "He's not even worth it Mateo" I tried to reason but he stepped back irritated 

"He's not but why is he calling you? I thought you were over him" he questioned me

"I am! He called to check on me" I told him but he shook his head moving away from me

"No, he thinks he has a chance and you're allowing it" he spit at me. I don't know where this was coming from, I been told Devon we were never getting back together. I flew all the way over here for Mateo because I choose him! 

"I'm going to take a walk. A lot happened today and I don't want to argue" he said leaving the room. "Mateo, wait" I yelled but he was already outside the room. I sat on the floor stressed as tears fell. I don't even understand what just happened. 

"Ringggg"

I looked over and saw a call coming from Sophia, "Hey Soph" I sniffled 

"Rose are you crying?" she asked concern.

 More tears fell out my eyes, "Mateo and I just had an argument over Devon" I explained to her

"Awww, I'm sorry. He shouldn't be arguing with you at this moment" she told me

"It was too much going on. Devon called and saw the pictures he then said I was a whore and Mateo yelled at him. I couldn't handle them arguing so I hung and he got mad at me because he feels like I haven't made it known to Devon we're over. But Sophia I didn't even know it was Devon, I would have declined the call" I told her 

I sat up and went to sit on his bed listening to Sophia, "He called you a whore? Ouuu that shrimp dick cheater! Who does he think he is to say that" she exploded 

"Rose, don't beat yourself up. I think Mateo misunderstood everything because you were so adamant on hanging up rather than letting him curse Devon out" she said in a sweet voice. 

Maybe she was right, we just need to communicate things better. "Thanks, I think I'm going to take a shower and destress from today" I told her hanging up and walking to his bathroom. 

....

Standing under the water, I heard the door open and thought Mateo was back. I turned off the shower and wrapped my towel around me and opened the bathroom door

"Where did you go?" I asked holding on the towel to my chest so it wouldn't drop 

"I went to down the hall and talked to Vinicius" he answered me not making eye contact

I bite lip not knowing what to say, its awkward now and I didn't like it. 

"I'm sorry about Devon. I texted him and told him off, he should get the hint that I'm never going back to him" I said as he looked at me

"Thank you but I'm sorry for yelling at you. It's been a stressful day and I could have handled that better" he replied taking his shirt off and laying on the bed. I know we were supposed to be having a serious conservation but I clenched my legs feeling my core grow wet. 

Watching him get shirtless did a number on me and I was attracted to his tattoos. I snapped out of it and closed the door to change, I had to get a hold of myself. We just had a semi-argument and I was drooling over his chest. 

I put on one of his T-shirts and underwear since I came here with nothing but the clothes I wore to the game. I stepped out and stood by the door nervous, he didnt speak much when he entered and I didn't know if he wanted me here anymore. 

"Why are you standing by the door" he asked taking his eyes off his phone

"Ummm, I didn't know if you needed space-"

"Come here Rose" he said cutting my words off. I quickly moved my feet and went to lay besides him. He wrapped his arms around me and ducked his face in my neck, "I am sorry for yelling" he whispered

"Its ok" I answered him

"How do you feel about everything" he asked looking up. Honestly the entire situation was stressful but being here with Mateo made me forget about it. 

"I was freaking out at first but then remembered that this is part of your life and I don't mind sharing it with" I told him running my fingers through his hair. 

Mateo smiled at me and hugged me tighter. He was laying on my chest like a baby and we fell asleep.
