A New Kind of Love.

Part 2

Present , April 2019 New York
-
The loud yelling of Rosalie's voice wakes me up. Every fucking morning.

Rosalie and I decided to move to Manhattan, New York, when I got an offer to model. My dads big connections found their way to me and contracted me. I modeled for a bit but then decided to help out my dads Business in New York. Since he's all the way in California , I decided I could help him out here.

As for Rosalie she decided to go into cosmetology, we decided to move in together, her pay wasn't as high paying as mine so I told her to move in with me. Also , who doesn't want to live with their best friend?

" Rosalie why are you so loud it's a Saturday, it's 9 in the morning!!" I throw a pillow at her. I dig my face into my pillow in order to block out her loud yelling.

" Um your boyfriend is here? He's been here since 7am", I jump up from my bed. " Oh god, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I make my way to my restroom , brush my teeth and freshen up. " I tried to tell you but you were deep asleep", she follows behind me. " You should've tried harder", I slip on some leggings and a sweatshirt.

" What time did you get home last night?" She asks.

" Around 11. I had to do some paperwork and shit like that." I brush my hair back into a low pony tail.

" I mean at least your dad is someone important. My dad left when I was a baby- my mom is a trashy trailer hoe", Rosalie giggles after her last sentence. I look at her and smirk. " Girl-

" Robert is waiting for you Joanne. Tik tokkkk", she taps on her watch. " Oh yeah , I forgot about him", I roll my eyes.

I make my way over to the living room, I look over at my big window, letting all rays of sunlight enter my apartment . When I got this penthouse this is what I always imagined doing every day. Watching the view in the morning and before I went to sleep. It's beautiful every time. I feel warm hands slip under my sweatshirt on my waist and pull me in. Robert gently kisses my neck from behind.

" You look gorgeous", I turn around to look at him. " You're so corny", I chuckle.

Robert. I met him a year ago, Rosalie and I quickly became friends with him. It quickly blossomed into a beautiful friendship between us three. 4 months later, Robert and I began dating. I liked him I still do, but sometimes I wonder if maybe I just settled for him?

Deep down I've always known who my heart really belongs to. It's not fair to Robert, but at the same time we don't always get what we want at the end. I care for Robert , I like him , he's smart and thoughtful. And these 8 months of dating him have been great.

" What if I take you to bed right now?" He slips his hand inside my underwear, I bite my lip. " Do it", I whisper. We walk over to my room, he gently pushes me on the bed and pulls off my leggings. He gets in between my legs and I proceed to unbuckle his belt.

He leans in to kiss me passionately and slips off my sweatshirt, he pulls down his pants and slides his d-- inside me. I moan. He reaches in to kiss me. He grunts into my mouth as I moan into his.

Almost an hour later.

We lay next to each other, his arm wrapped around me. " Joanne?" He calls out my name softly. " Yes?"

"Do you ever want to get married?" He asks , I choke on my spit, in disbelief. " Yeah I would, would you?" I stumble over my words. " With you , yes", he turns his body to look at me. " I love you so much you don't understand Joanne. I want to spend my life with you; I couldn't bear seeing you with someone else other than me", he caresses my face.

"I do too", he kisses me on my forehead. " I hope we grow stronger, so one day we can spend the rest of our days together until we grow old", he pulls me in, I nervously laugh.

Married?

I cannot marry Robert, or anyone.

" Robert what time is it?" I ask him. " It's 10:20am", he looks at his phone. " Oh shit", I jump up and quickly change. " I have a coffee date-

Robert looks at me annoyed. I laugh.

With Rosalie. I have a coffee date with Rosalie", I roll my eyes smiling.

" You have fun babe, I'll head out in a bit", he reassures me. I sit on the bed next to him and give him a quick peck on the lips. I gather up my things and fix up my hair. " I'll see you", I wink at him.

Coffee date-

" He brought up marriage, Rosalie", I blankly stare at Rosalie . She chokes on her coffee and starts laughing. " Oh god- marriage? You have been together for what 7 months?" She throws her head back laughing.

" 8 actually-it's too soon and I don't even want to get married. I'm too young", I scoff. " Girl , if he's talking about marriage that means he's planning something very soon", she crosses her arms. I get nervous.

" Fuck you're so right", I fidget with my hands. I pick up my phone to scroll on instagram and try to get my mind off this. I see a picture of one of my old high school classmates. A group picture. I spot him. Sebastian.

" Night with my boys".

I nervously swallow. He's laughing, has a beer in his hand and looks happy. He looks so different, even though he's wearing a polo shirt you can see how built he is now, he's taller than all of them in the picture.

His messy hair is thrown back. His hazel eyes look brighter. He grew out a beard, scruffy beard. His bronze skin is illuminated by the flash of the phone,his pearly white smile brings out the sincerity in the picture.

Sebastian ,my one and only love. He's the reason why I don't and won't get married. If it's not with him it won't be with anyone.

" Hey what are you looking at?" Rosalie snatches my phone from my hand. " Hey! Give me back my phone", I attempt to grab my phone. " You're looking at Sebastian, oooo", Rosalie jokes. "You want to know something I heard about Sebas?" Rosalie hands me my phone. I become intrigued.

" What did you hear Rosalie", I roll my eyes. " I heard he was dating some girl for a couple months but then broke up with her.Supposedly one of his friends told me it was because he's still in love with some other girl", my heart drops knowing that he's loved someone else after me. I loudly sigh.

" What a- , I didn't think Sebastian was like th-

Rosalie interrupts me, " It's clearly you he's still in love with. It's been 6-7? years since you two broke it off and he's only dated one girl after you", I scoff.

" We don't know that, I never even heard about him after we broke it off", I feel defensive all of a sudden. " I'm friends with one of his close friends and that's what he told me", she shrugs her shoulders. " I doubt it's me, he's not one to be stuck on someone for that long", she laughs after I say.

" You're so clueless Joanne, Sebastian loved you more than life itself , I'm sure he still does", Rosalie insists.

" Anywho, my birthday is next Saturday would you like to go out for dinner in the afternoon that day?" I ask Rosalie trying to change the topic. " Um of course , I'm paying though- And don't try to argue with me on it", Rosalie raises her finger at me. I laugh. " Okay I won't", I giggle.
