RM , A Backstage Romance Book 2 In The Series

15 excited, nervous Rose

With both of their scheduals being what they were it was over a week before they were both free , well 10 days to be exact.

In that time Rose had finished designing the 3 sets of traditional tea ware she was going to display at the gallery and made one complete set which she loved , Tea pot handles were not the same as English tea pots , the handle stood out at an angle and you gripped it like a door handle , she loved the small texture she added which not only helped with grip but added to the aesthetics. The three sets were all designed to be in shade of light green , with highlights of white peoney flowers on one , white glazed ripple , and white rings .

The complete set shone on its stand , and she couldn't wait to finish the other two.

The alarm bleeping woke Rose with a start and she sat up holding her chest and breathing deeply.
'
'Woaw, that had been some dream ' she thought . Her body still tingled as her mind tried to hold on to the memory of the dream , but like most dreams and whispey smoke the images where fast disappearing and all she could remember was it had involved Rm , naked , and kisses...her body was still turned on despite the cold light of day now chasing the last vestiges of sleep away .

Rose's hand went from her chest to her breast , her nipples still hard , she gentle massaged them and thought about releasing her frustration , but just then a second alarm went off and her hand grabbed at the phone to shut it up once more...

It's today !!! She thought as she tumbled out of bed , excited and nervous she calculated 3 hours until she was meeting Rm .

She grabbed her clothes and a towel and practically skipped to the bathroom. She placed her clothes on a little dresser and turned the taps on high. Whilst the bath ran She went back in the kitchen and made herself a coffee

" Alexa " she said to the ai speaker on the kitchen side "play today's chart songs"

She rarely listened to anything other than classical now a days , but she was nervous and excited and needed something to help dispel the energy.

She carried the little speaker and placed it just outside the bathroom door and was humming along to herself as she added some if her favourite lavender bubble solution and swooshed it around .

Once it was ready she slowly slipped into the hot water and let her self completely relax.

Alexa " she said to the little device ," set an alarm for 20 minutes " and then let her head fall back and closed her eyes.

Blackpinks new song came on the radio and Rose sat up and started singing along , she'd been hearing it play all over the place lately, taxis , the mall...she would have been hard pressed to not have known the song.

Rose loved to sing...but it was for her own ears only , she new her limitations , she could carry a tune but was very far removed from being a singer, but that didn't stop her belting out songs if she knew them .

Relaxed in the scented bubbles alternating between singing and humming depending on wether she knew the song or not Rose started to relax , waking up frustrated , nervous excitement for the day and the morning coffee had had her bouncy until now , but now with music playing and the warmth of the bubbly water surrounding her she felt a familiar calm , usually reserved for just before she threw a piece of clay on the wheel.. she would be friendly but distant today , all thoughts of temtping Rm had left with the teenage Rose of the past. She was a grown up , respected in her field and usually a pretty decent person.

" One can't always get what one wants " she said out loud in a over the top British accent . She chuckled to herself and sat up .

Just then a song came over the speaker claiming to be this week's number 1.

The melody captured Rose so much she almost held her breath, was that JKs voice she could hear , she listened to the words ,

SHY GLANCES, SLY GLANCES
LONGING FROM THE SHADOW
DENIED CHANCES, STATIC ADVANCES
EVERYBODY SAYING NO

HEART BEATING ,SWEAT BEADING
AFRAID OF GETTING SEEN
BODY FLUSHING, CHEEKS BLUSHING

"Omg !! " she exclaimed out loud , they could have been talking about her ..or Rm ..the memory of Rm in her dream added to the words body flushing and Rose came over all hot and aroused..
She leant forward and turned the cold tap on for a few moments just as her 20 minute timer was announced.

Pulling herself together she washer her hair and shaved then got out completely ignoring the want of her body. Hadn't she just decided she was going to behave and be grown up responsible Rose today !?

Keeping up her inner telling off she wrapped a pink fluffy towel around herself and slightly more enthusiastically that normal brushed her teeth and wondered what to do with her hair.

Looking at the time once she was dressed she still had an hour and a half to go...she looked in the mirror with the wide tooth comb in one hand and a bottle of spray gel in another.." you'd think, " she told the reflection in the mirror " that an hour would be plenty of time to do some ones hair ..but not for you " she said pointing to her reflection.." just for once could you behave?" she asked.

Realising that most people would think she was a little bit crazy talking to herself she laughed then she combed and set about taming her curls.

Forty five minutes later , by some miracle her long curls were defined and not frizzy hanging low down her back, a bit if moisturiser on her face and mascara and she left it at that. She didn't want Rm to think she'd made an effort for him even though she had .

As she went to leave for her workshop she glanced over at the mirror, black wide legged ,high-waisted trousers matched with a green coloured body suit , she looked elegant she thought and the thought I wonder if Rm will like it was a thought she hurriedly pushed aside.

Grabbing her purse and a thick Angus knit shawl she slipped on a pair of blocky ankle boots and she was good to go.

Her previous calm was disrupted with a heart beat of nervous anticipation as she locked her door behind her .
