"When is Rose coming?" Dad asked me when he started the barbecue.
"She let me know an hour ago that she would be a bit later. No idea how much later though."
"We will keep some aside for her." He assured me.
I took a seat at the terrace table next too Megan. "Ready for tomorrow?" I asked her.
She turned her head slowly towards me, a huge grin on her face "what do you think?"
"Stupid question uh?"
Megan rolled her eyes and nodded. "Is Rose staying over?"
"Yeah, she is."
"Iris is staying at Deans place; he's dropping her of tomorrow morning before he goes too Brandon."
"Megan, you don't need to feel obliged to like them."
She shook her head "I know. I like them both, I do think that Iris is a bit too wild for me. But I like her."
"They have matching tattoos about her being wild."
"They have?"
I nodded "Rose has "she keeps me wild" and Iris had "she keeps me safe."
"That is so right for them."
"It is, although I don't know Iris that wel yet."
We talked about her work for the next 20 minutes, till dad started putting the meat on the table. Megan went inside to help mom to bring out the side-dishes. They came back and we started eating.
"Look who I found in front of the house!" Justin said loudly when he and Ivy stepped outside on the terrace. Rose trailing behind them. Everyone greeted her and she did her tour around the table giving mom, dad, and Megan a kiss. She took a seat next to me and bent closer to give me a kiss on the cheek too. She smiled at me, but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Hungry?" I asked her and she nodded.
My dad put some meat on her plate, and I gave her some side-dishes. Justin was like most of the time taking most of the attention. But I don't mind, I never did. When I was done, I pushed my plate away and placed my arm behind Rose on the back of her seat. I glanced towards her, she was very quiet tonight, and she didn't eat that much. She kept playing with the food. Justin noticed it too and frowned at me asking silently if I knew what was going on. I shook my head and shrugged my shoulders.
Rose stood up after a while excusing herself to go to the bathroom.
"What is going on?" Justin asked out loud this time.
"I really don't know. She was earlier not like this." I said.
"Maybe something happened at work. Or she had a really busy day, and she is just tired." Megan suggested.
