Rosy's POV:

It was 5 in the morning, my phone rang as I was getting ready to go to work. I looked up at the screen, but didn't recognize the number.

“Hello?” My voice came out as a soft whisper. After a while of no answer I decided to try again “Hello, who is this?”

“Uhh … hey Rose i-its me Zayn.” He seemed nervous. I hadn't talked to him after what happened last night.

“Zayn... how did you get my number?” I asked.

“From Harry...” Zayn stopped talking after mentioning Harry's name, I felt a sudden awkwardness before Zayn continued, “Well I was wondering if you will be working today?”

“Yes I should be leaving soon to work, why?” I asked.

“Oh nothing … I'll see you there! I gotta go, bye Rosy.” Zayn said and before I could respond he had hung up.

I wasn't sure what was going on, but after trying to figure it out I realized it was better to not know what was going on in that head of his. There were things I had learned about Zayn and one of them was that no matter how much anyone tried they would never understand those thoughts of his.

After changing into my uniform I headed downstairs. I always went into the kitchen to prepare something quickly for aunt Alexandra, but when I opened the kitchen door to my surprise aunt Alexandra was standing there drinking coffee.

I wasn't expecting her to be awake at this time, she usually left to work around 7 or sometimes didn't leave at all.

“Good morning aunt Alexandra.” I said with a smile on my face, not to my surprise she ignored me and didn't even turn to look at me. Her attention was on the pile of photographs on the table. During the past 10 years I had learned so much about her work, when she would leave her files or photographs I would have to clean up from the table I would take a look at them.

I was about to make her food when she got up and walked towards me, she walked around me observing me from head to toe.

“Hmm this could work... Rose I wont be eating breakfast this morning.” She went to the table in the center of the kitchen and picked up her phone. She pointed the phone towards me and took a picture.

I was completely confused, why would she need a picture of me? I looked at the time and realized that if I didn't leave soon I would be late.

I reached the coffee shop just in time, Bella was leaning against the door waiting for me to open. Calvin only trusted me with the keys to the coffee shop.

“Hey.” I said while opening the door, I realized that not once since she saw me walking towards the shop had she looked at me. She looked everywhere as if trying to avoid my gaze.

We began getting things set up, I tried making conversation here and there, but she would give me short answers. I was about to ask her what was wrong when she spoke.

“I know I'm being distant sorry it's just that I know you saw me with Harry last night..” She looked down at the floor.

“Bella you're like my sister and Harry and I were nothing exclusive so whatever happens between you two stays between you two. It has nothing to do with me okay so don't worry, I'm glad he makes you happy.” She came running towards me and gave me a tight hug.

Once it was 6:30 we opened up for the clients to start walking in. It was a very slow morning like usual. Bella and I spent most of the time talking and Calvin called to tell us he would be stopping by around 1.

“Hey...” a masculine voice said as I looked up to find Harry standing on the other side of the counter. I stepped back letting Harry talk to Bella, “Wait Rosy, can I talk to you?”
