CHAPTER (4)

Rosanna ran as fast as she could but they were still just mere feets behind her. She looked behind to see how far behind the two men actually were. She turned to find nobody. Maybe she had managed to leave them behind.

Or maybe not......

'BAM' she dashed into a man

The bald man and the albino looked at her with sheer menace on their faces.

'Who is gonna save you now, ha?' said the huge albino guy to her with a scary laugh pointing a gun at her.

'NO'

Rosanna woke up in one swift movement breaking her nightmare. She'd gotten used to these nightmares and she was now much better at breaking them. She didn't want to see the rest of it, she already knew how it was gonna end. It was going to end with the albino putting a bullet through her abdomen and her bleeding to death in the dark alley where she'd been.

'I need to do something about these nightmares.' She murmured.

'You are right; I don't think I'll be able to appreciate a scream for a wakeup call.' said Edward.

Shocked Rosanna let out a tiny squeak 'What are you doing in my room? Don't you have anything better to do at six in the morning?' she said looking at the clock on her bedside table.

How did he manage to look so fresh and relaxed at six?

He was dressed in a black suit. He looked like a very serious decent businessman; only his diabolic grin and unruly hair disrupted the image.

He walked to her queen size vintage bed and sat beside her, as Rosanna instinctively edged away from him.

'The answer to the first question has to wait but as for the 2nd question; well what better way to start the day then with a kiss from the woman I love.' Saying this he kissed her gently. As the kiss ended, looking at Rosanna Edward said

'Now if you are done spying on us you can come in and break the news to her.'

Confused; Rosanna looked up to find her father looking at Edward and her with the happiness of a man who has just won a lottery.

The kiss had been an act she realized feeling a little more than necessary hurt. Controlling her turmoil of emotions she gave a sunny smile and said 'Good morning daddy! I believe Edward charmed his way up to my room!'

'Very little charming skills required. I was more than happy to let him in your room. He won't be seeing you again till tomorrow noon.'

Rosanna shot both the men a quizzical look, asking for a better answer.

'Don't be so perplexed, honey. You won't be seeing him anytime sooner because the bride isn't allowed to see the groom before the wedding.'

'What?' Rosanna said her eyes going wide.

'We are getting married tomorrow at noon.' Edward said grinning.

'What?' her eyes went wider.

'I knew you were dreading the whole planning the wedding thing, so I told James that we should probably drop the whole idea of a huge society wedding and go for a small ceremony with very few guests at a place you love.'

'What?' Rosanna said not believing all this was happening.

'Don't worry about your wedding not being beautiful. I promise it's going be memorable. I've decide since this is the place where you grew up we'll have the wedding near the lake on our manor's ground. I have my people on the decorations and the setting up of the altar. Edward's assistant, Martha is taking care of the music food and the guests. All you have to do is choose a wedding dress. You wouldn't have to do this if you hadn't burnt your first wedding dress but on the bright side this is truly a fresh start. You know like the whole Craig episode never happened. Okay forget I said anything about you-know-who and get ready to go with Edward to the Davenport house. That's where he has arranged for the wedding dresses to be delivered so you can choose the dress of your choice.'
