Blue Rose

Chapter 7

Stella

I plopped down in the couch of my room. My mind is racing in a full speed. He is looking for Rose? Oh my God!! What should I do now? I have to find out a way. The way I have reacted is the most stupid thing I have ever done! I shouldn't have reacted. He must have noticed that. Should I leave Seattle? Should I run again? Oh God! Where should I go now? I don't know how long I was sitting there. I shot back to reality by vibration of my phone. I looked at the screen, it's Samantha.

"Hey Sam!"

"Hey love! I am picking you up at 6.00. Right?"

"Hm..hmm..!??!!"

"You forgot idiot?"

"Forgot what?"

"We are going out today!!!"

"Oh yes, yes. I remember."

"Okay. See you."

"Bye."

I looked at my watch. It's 5.00 already. I have few works to do. I took some paper and run to the photocopy room. I place them in the machine and watch them to be copied. I was so lost that I haven't noticed when Thomas has entered the room. He tapped on my shoulder and I jumped off the chair, screaming.

"Whoa!!! Relax. Its me."

"Oh Thomas! I am so sorry."

"It's okay."

Thomas is my colleague. He works in the finance department and within the last months we have become friends. He has helped me out several times and he is a cute guy.

"So... What's up?"

"Nothing."

"What are you doing tomorrow? Do you have any plan?"

"Ah... No."

"Can I take out for a dinner?"

"Huh!?"

"A dinner, please?"

"Um...."

"Pleeease??" He made a puppy face, which make me laugh.

"Hahahaha! Okay."

"Awesome. I will text you the place."

"Okay."

"Okay. Bye." He left the room waving at me. I shake my head. I quickly took all the papers and head back to room. Samantha is here. I need to be quick.

After an hour, we are sitting in the club. Jake and Alex have joined us. We often come to this club in weekends but for last few weeks we all were busy in our works. Jake has brought us drinks and we are all sitting in a table in the corner. Jake is pursuing Alex for a dance but Alex has denied as usual. Jake turns to me,

"Hey Doll face please dance with me."

"Umm... What will get in return?"

"Whatever you want."

"Okay, let's go."

Jake pulled me through the crowd to the dance floor. I am not that good in dancing but Jake is fabulas. I don't know why Alex denied dancing with him. We start moving with sound slowly at first. After a few minutes both of us are dancing our heart off. I looked up at Samantha and Alex. They are talking but Alex is staring at us. Not us actually, he is watching Jake intently. I looked at Jake. He has noticed that too. I winked at him and move closer. At the very moment the song changed to 'Be my Lover' by Inna, that's good for our plan. We both start dancing with seducing moves. Jake placed his right hand on the back of me and I snaked my hands around his neck, moving side to side. When music become faster I turned and Jake placed his hand over my belly, pulled me back, crashing on his chest. I placed my hand over his. We start moving over hips with music; grooving with the music, pulling apart and coming back crashing into other, touching and rubbing with each other body. Half through the song and Alex was on the floor beside us. "Having fun?" He asked.

"Oh yeah!" I smirked

"Sammy wants to talk with you."

"Of course she wants." I laugh and head back to our table.

"Hey Sammy!"

"Hey! Alex threw you out of the dance floor?"

"He said that you wanna talk to me." We both burst into laugh. At first Alex doesn't want to dance but when he sees someone dancing with Jake he ultimately jump between them to dance with Jake. I don't know why he always refuses at the first. We ordered another drink.

"Both of us are already half drunk. We shouldn't drink more." I warn Samantha.

"Come on!! Its weekend." Samantha Whined

"Yeah I know. But one of should stay sober to drive back home."

"Don't worry. Jake is not drinking tonight, he will be driving. It's already decided honey."

"Really? Oh! Then let's get drunk. Cheers!!"

"Whoo whoo."

When Jake was struggling to get us inside the car, it was past midnight and all three of us were out of control. Opening the sun roof, me and Samantha stood on the backseat. The cold breeze hit our faces and our hairs are flowing. We start singing on the top of our voices. Alex rolled down the window and got out through it to join us. It was short drive but it takes us more than twenty minutes to reach apartment door from the garage. We were laughing, singing and rolling on floor while Jake was being mad and cursing us to hell.

As I plopped in Sammy's bed, suddenly the whole day flashed through my mind, reminding that I need to make a plan to move away from Seattle, far away from Edward and away from these loving friends. Tears start streaming down my cheeks. I rolled on my side to find out Sammy is struggling to get out of her dress. I got up and helped her out.

"Oh! Thanks Ella, My sweetheart." She pulled a t-shirt over her head and joined me in the bed. I moved towards her to hug her.

"I love you Sammy."

"Aw. I love you too." She singed. I couldn't hold myself anymore and burst into tears.

"Hey! Ella? What's wrong honey? What happen?" She asked worriedly.

"I need to leave Sammy. I have to run again"

"What? Leave? What are you talking about?"

"Today he said that he is looking for Rose. If I stay here he will find out. I don't wanna leave you guys. I love you so much. He has snatched away my family once and now again I will lose you guys for him."

"Shhhhh..... Nothing will happen like that. You don't worry. This time you got us. Nothing is gonna hurt you. Trust me honey. Now go to sleep. We will talk later." Sammy holds me tightly, run her fingers through my long hair. I gradually stopped crying and drifted in sound sleep.
