Locked OOH; The Lost Volume

Locked Out Of Heaven - Chapter 19

If you love me, come on get involved..

The rumbling down the aisle made an intense expectation. Watching the ball roll down towards the pins.

1, 2, 3!

The ball hit all 10 pins. "Woo!!"
Everyone clapped watching me strut over back to our table. "Good job" Rosa kissed my cheek and stood up to go next.

She took her pink ball and stood in the middle of the alley. Her stance was in lock and the ball went rolling. No hesitation. Our eyes meet and I smile.  "I made a strike" she nodded to Phil as he pointed to the pins.

The pins fell and sure enough she made one. Phil was in awe. "What!? Are you serious?" Phil steps up and rosa pretends to brush of her shoulder.

"Rosa!?"

"Oh hi! I haven't seen you since I left"

They embraced each other into a hug. My eye was focused on the guy, trying to figure out who the hell he was.

"I know, you made a nice shot there"

"It's all in the wrist" she shrugged.

My eyes meet him and he stares back at me. Trying not to glare, he gave a nice wave.

"That's your boyfriend?" He ask quietly

"Oh, no. We..we're just friends. Nothing more"

He smiles and my heart breaks. The guy is good looking and looks very athletic, anyways probably way better than me. He takes her hand and pulls her a bit closer.

"Well if you're free, I'd like to take you out sometime."

"Yeah sure, anytime"

"How about Friday night? At 8?"

"Yeah, sure" she smiles at him heavenly and I'm furious. He leans down and kiss her cheek. Excusing myself to leave and go to the entrance. Anger is clouding me and it won't stop.

"Bruno, they're right."

"What!? How can you say that when you just told me you loved me?"

I crunch my fist and pace back and forth.  "Bruno calm down. I love you. I do with all my heart."

"Ok so what's the problem Rosa!?"

"I don't want to be the reason or even be mistaken for the reason of you stopping your career and falling off. Just for me? No!"

"Yes! Rosa don't leave me"

"Bruno let this be, it's best if we do. If you agree we can be friends, I promise we'll still see each other but I can't be around if you're going to be upset every time you look at me.

"Whatever, I agree. Now get out"

"Bruno?"

"I said get out!...right now"

"I'm getting out and I'm leaving"

"Where!?" I chuckled.

"Bruno you're angry with me, I get it but I'm leaving so I won't be a bur—"

"You're leaving because you want to!!"

"What's your problem?" Rosa steps back and I grabbed strands of my hair. I take a deep breath.
