Yours Forever.

Chapter 27

Rosie's POV :
It was 11th of December. The beginning of our winter break.

The time when cold breezes filled the air and made chills run down everybody's spine. People were seen wearing warm, baggy clothes and beanies and coffee and soup were the priority of that time. Going out seemed to be an awful idea as it was extremely cold so I always preferred staying inside my cosy blanket, wearing a sweater, beanie and socks, watching Netflix and talking to the love of my life.

The sweet essence of being with Luke just never let me feel how time passed by so fast. He always updated me with whatever he was doing and so did I. We texted the entire day and conversed on call at night.
His sweet 'I love yous' just made me forget the whole world and love him more and more everyday. Our hearts were conjoined together like two perfectly fitting puzzle pieces. I never knew that someone could be that special to me. He lighted up my world like a moonlight brightening a dark night. He was so close to me now and I knew he wanted to know everything about me but I was not the kind of person who would break my walls so easily.
It wasn't like that I didn't trust him, I trusted his love more than my own stupid brain but I just never wanted him to judge me by the past I had. I didn't want him to think anything bad about my family, or think that my bad past has turned me into a bad or witty person too.

My phone rang and I picked it up.
"Hey babe" It was Luke.
"Hi. I was just thinking abou-"
He cut me off
"Babe listen. Just come out of your front door and turn left, I'm right there waiting for you in my car. Just be quick I have something for you. And I know you're going to turn into a lecturer now so I'm disconnecting the call. Just be quick! I love you"
And call disconnected.
Wow! Now that was surprising. I wore my whole set of winter clothes and rushed outside. As I opened my front door, cold winter breezes just touched my face and gave me the feeling as if I had no face. It was all frozen outside. Snow and cold winds everywhere.

I proceeded outside and turned left. There it was, Luke's car. I rushed towards the car, opened the door and jumped inside it as the cold temperature of my surroundings nearly froze me to death.
"Feels like my princess is feeling cold, huh?" Luke chuckled.
"Yes, You have no idea. Well, why did you call me hear. Look, just be quick my mom will be here any minute."
I worriedly conveyed.
"I brought your birthday cake and your gift love. Surprise." He said with a huge grin on his lovely, pink lips.
"Aww thankyou. But there are still two days left babe. Why so early? And why did you bring the gift?"
"You wished me 10 minutes earlier than the original time right? Means 5 into 2 makes 10. So 2 days early. And this is a gift for the gift God gave me" He explained with a smile on his face. His smile just always made me fall for him all over again.
"Technically it does make sense,girl. You just take this. It's your favourite. Chocolate cake. And a shirt for you."
It lightened me up. Chocolate cake was one of my most favourite desserts. And he knew me so well. What was I gonna do without him.
"Luke, you are the best. I'm not just happy because you brought me this cake and this shirt. I'm delighted because you care so much" excitement filled in my eyes and happiness dripping clearly from my face.
"Seeing you happy made me more happy my Rose. I wrote a card for you too, will you do the honor to read it?"
"Why not love" I took the card out of the shopping bag and began reading it aloud.
"It must have been a rainy day when you were born. But it wasn't really rain, the sky was crying because it lost it's most beautiful angel."

A huge smile formed on my face and happiness began dripping from my face. I began getting goosebumps of excitement. I lifted my head up to see Luke. I was speechless. I had no words to say to him as nobody ever made me feel so special and important as he did.
As I looked up at him, he was already staring. His face turned into a smiley one.
"Did you like it babe?" He sounded excited.
"I absolutely love it Luke. Did you write this whole thing yourself?"
"You doubt my creativity skills? This is like the smallest piece of what I feel for you."
"Luke. I love you. Thankyo-" He cut me off.
"No thankyous babe. I love you was enough to let me know that I've suceeded in making my princess happy." He winked at me as he ended his sentence.
"You're the sweetest baby. Now I've got to go" I worriedly conveyed.
"I know baby. Just go." He smiled at me.
I hugged him and got out of the car. I informed him to let me know when he reaches home safely. I was always worried for him. He drived really fast and I didn't want him to get hurt in anyway. I feared that his rash driving might get him trouble one day and I wanted every harm or hurt to stay miles away from him.
I got inside my house and told mom that I bought that cake for my birthday 2 days early because the roads might be blocked because of heavy snow.

It was 12'o clock am, 13th December. My birthday. Luke was the first one who wished me. He stayed up with me till 3 am. He expressed everything he felt for me and how blessed that day was because I born to be his'. Luke told me that he wanted to be with me on my birthday but as it was Saturday and my dad was supposed to be at home, it was impossible for me to go out and meet Luke.
In the morning, my mom was the first one to wish me. I wore the shirt Luke gifted me and spent my entire day in that. I took pictures and send them to Luke, he was delighted to see me wearing it. It was a black shirt with pink flowers on it and I absolutely loved it. My dad didn't even remember that it was my birthday but I was used to of this phenomenon. He wished me in the noon.

Later that day in the evening, me and my family cut my birthday cake. That same cake Luke brought for me. The day passed by the same way.
I began noticing that Luke was always present there in every event of my life. My life felt so complete with him. But I didn't want to hide him from my family anymore. I loved him but I loved my family too. I would be lying if I said it never felt bad to betray my mother for him. I felt like I was getting off tracked. My grades were going down, my attention towards my family was lacking. But I didn't blame Luke for this as I knew he was going through the same thing.
My mother complained several times that I had stopped spending time with her. My siblings were annoyed by my ignorant behaviour. But at the same time, I couldn't stop myself from being with Luke.

One of my mother's friend, Mrs. Sam used to visit our place every once in a while since we shifted. She lived next door and was really close to my mom. She used to spend time with us since I was 12. She noticed that change in my behaviour and talked to my mother about it. She told her to keep an eye on me as I used my cell phone the whole day. I did nothing else than doing that, according to her.
My mom suspected that I was up to something really bad. But I wasn't.
I just loved somebody. Like, a lot.

I just hoped things would be better. But I knew that life was tough, achieving someone you really love is a matter of struggle. But life is a constant gain and loose. I just didn't want to loose anyone here.

So people around Rosie are scrutinising the variations in her behaviour. Hope she doesn't get caught in a way that she loses the love of her life.
