Healing Love

Chapter 6

Rose Marie's P.O.V.

What on earth did just happen? Suddenly it was as if everyone in the room disappeared and it was just Freddie and me. He was holding my hands and staring at me smiling. He had an expression I had never seen before, he looked like an angel. I didn't want him to notice that inside I was melting for him. After what seemed like ages I finally realized I started to shake, why he make me so nervous. It must have been his beauty, Freddie was such a beautiful man and he made me feel so... what was the word for it? So complete, so in love ? I don't really know, I've never been in love before so I couldn't tell but if this wasn't love then I don't know what it is. He cupped my face with both of his hands and I unconsciously closed my eyes and I felt him lean forward, then he let go of my face and I opened my eyes. He looked down embarrassed and he blushed slightly and half spoke.

"Rosie... I'm... I'm so-" he was interrupted by Chrissie pulling my arm.

"Rose come with me, I want a picture with you" she guided me near the couch and I watched as Freddie disappeared in the in the small crowd that began to surround him.

"You ready girls?I've got the camera" Brian said as he held the camera in front of his face.

"Yes, Rose you better look as precious as you already are" said Chrissie and gave a smile to the camera.

"I've got it" said Brian "Rosie could you take one of me with Chrissie and the kids?" he asked.

"Sure Badger" I joked. He laughed and passed me the camera. I needed to act as normal as possible but I didn't know if could, I still couldn't get off my mind that scene with Freddie.

Freddie's P.O.V

You're an idiot Freddie. If you were gonna do it, why regret it in the last minute? You were already there, now she probably thinks you're an asshole and you'll never see her again. Congratulations, you ruined it. I keep arguing with myself and I couldn't focus on what Roger was telling me. For a second I got back to reality and I sad Rosie happy taking pictures with the guys and I could tell she was having fun but that didn't mean anything, she could always act as if nothing happened because she is a sweetheart that wouldn't spoil a party. I still thought that as soon as the party was over she would say 'Freddie I'm going back home and I won't be working with you anymore' that thought was killing me, I tried to meet with Rose Marie's eyes, her eyes looking at mine was gonna be the answer to my doubt. And so I did, I caught her eyes while she was dancing with Veronica but as soon as her eyes met mine she looked away very quickly. My heart broke into a million pieces. As the party went on Rosie kept avoiding my eyes, I wouldn't say she ignored me, she would talk to me sometimes but she didn't make any eye contact with me the whole time. About at 4 A.M. in the morning the Deacons and the Mays were starting to leave. Rosie and I said goodbye to them and then Rosie lifted drunken Debbie from the floor and helped her lay on the couch and then cover her with a blanked.

"We should help Roger too" she said looking down avoiding my eyes again.

"Sure, I'll get the feet" I volunteered and she nodded.

We lifted a passed out Roger from the floor and we put him in the other couch across from Debbie.

"Why do you think Dominique got mad at Roger?" she asked me as she helped Roger lay on his side in case he wanted to puke.

"I don't know she just slammed the door of her room and has been there for about an hour but I don't think she knows about Roger and Debbie" I Shrugged.

"Are you sure?" she asked confused.

"Yeah, I know Dom from many years and I know that if she knew the truth she would've mopped the floor with Debbie's hair right away"
