Changing the CEO

Date

I wake up to him still soundly asleep. I quietly get out of bed and stretch. I feel a chill breeze all over. I'm naked.
I chuckle. I quickly run to the bathroom and begin to shower. I notice as I scrub my arms that I have bruises. My wrists are imprinted with Luke's hands. My upper arm has scratches.
Why didn't I feel pain?
I finished and get into a comfy jean and blue t-shirt. Luke is still asleep.
I sit in front of my mirror and begin to brush my wet hair. I see the bruises. It makes me feel good yet worried. Luke is very rough with me, but that's what he likes. But do I really want it like that every time?
"Meow!"
I jump and turn around. Louie is on top of Luke!
"No! Bad kitty," I rush to get him off but Luke wakes up. He chuckles and pets the cat.
"Hello buddy," Luke sits.
"Sorry, I didn't know he got in my room," I say.
Luke gently puts Louie down on the floor as he sits on the edge of the bed. "It is okay. I need to get up anyhow. What time is it?"
I check the clock on my west wall. "11:36."
Luke stands. "Darn, I got tired."
I chuckle as I look at his naked body. "I don't think so."
He looks down and rolls his eyes. "I guess not."
He pulls me in but hurts my arm. I yielp and he lets me go. "You okay?"
He looks down at my arm and sees the bruises. "Oh," he whispers.
I get my arm back and give him his underwear. "It's fine. It just hurts a bit."
He puts his underwear back and the morning wood is gone.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to do that," he says. I smile. "It's okay."
He gently gets my hand and kisses it. "Tell me when it hurts Rose. I don't want to hurt you on purpose," he says.
I nod. "Okay. I will."
He asks me if I can kiss him. I nod and wrap my arms around his waist.
I kiss him. His lips taste like me. I can smell my perfume on him. I love it.
"Meow!"
We pull away and look down. Louie looks angry. He is hungry.
"Let me fix you and the cat something to eat," I say.
Luke nods. "May I shower?"
"Sure."
I walk to the kitchen with the cat behind me.
"Don't worry Louie. I won't forget you," I say to him. He meows.
I give him food and get Luke's food ready.
Luke compliments me with breakfast. He continues to sip on coffee. "How about we go eat dinner again later?" he asks.
"Sure, where? I don't want to show up wearing jeans," I answer.
"Don't worry, you just wear something simple," he stands. "I need to go."
"Okay, see you later," I kiss his cheek.
He lightly smiles. "Bye."
....
I call Charlie and he tells me he is coming back.
"Is Dan the one then?" I ask.
He laughs. "Maybe. I really do miss him Rose. Like I never felt this way."
"Aww, my big bro is finally in love,"
"And you too?"
I stop walking. "Um, no. I mean-I like Luke a lot but I don't think I love him yet."
"Yet sister, but you are falling for him huh?"
I sigh and sit on the couch. "Maybe."
"Are things kind of the same then?"
"Yes. Just friends."
"Rose, you really need to know how you feel so you can tell Luke. I don't want you to get this love bug and then it hurting you."
"I'll be okay."
"Whatever you say, I'll text you late. Bye."
"Bye."
I hang up and look at the hour on the phone. Luke is coming in 30 minutes.
I run to my room and fix my white dress. It is like a sun summer dress. Hopefully I'm not underdressed. I put on my only pair of black heels and put my hair in a braid.
I apply some foundation and mascara with eyeliner. He said something simple. Hopefully he likes it. I put on my eyeglasses.
My phone rings again. It is Daniel.
"Hi?" I ask.
"Oh hey Rosalie," he says, "did I interrupt something?"
"No," why is he calling me?
"Okay, well, I got an extra ticket for the opera tonight. Not gonna lie, my date canceled and I know you would appreciate a good opera," he sounds a bit nervous.
Oh man, what do I do?
"Um, I don't know if I have anything to wear for the opera," I am trying to make up a good excuse.
"Oh alright, but something like black pants with a pretty blouse will do."
"Let me check and I get back to you," I quickly hang up and call Luke.
"Hello? I'm on my way-" I interrupt him.
"Daniel asked me out to the opera," I quickly say. "What do I say?"
"So he is asking you on a date?" Luke asks.
"I guess. Luke, I don't want to hurt him,"
"He is heartless,"
"No he isn't. He is nice to me,"
"Look Rose, I promised you he won't get hurt, trust me okay? Fine, he is nice so he won't get hurt."
I don't believe him but I know Luke isn't evil either.
"So do I say yes?" I ask.
"Yeah, let me get you something nice to wear. Tell him to pick you up in a hour."
I frown. "But what about us?"
"Trust me."
I sigh. "Okay."
...
Daniel is helping get out of the car. Luke got me a knee length red dress. I fix my eyeglasses as I wait for Daniel to come by.
I fix my coat and notice a lot of wealthy people. The women are so beautiful or elegant.
I feel out of place.
"We can go in," Daniel says.
He takes my arm but I squeak. "You okay?"he asks.
I nod. Thankfully the dress is long sleeve so he won't see my bruises.
"I'm sore. I started to work out,"
Daniel chuckles. "You are gonna disappear. You're perfect Rosalie."
I blush. He sounds so sincere. "Thanks. Let's go in."
The opera was lovely. It is my second time attending one. The first time was with my dad. However, he made me laugh throughout. He hated the opera but since I was in love with it; he took me.
Daniel and I are walking to my apartment.
"Thank you for coming with me," Daniel smiles. We get to my door. I get my keys and unlock the door.
"It was nice. Thank you," I say. I look at him and I jump a bit. He is way to close to me.
"I really enjoy your company Rosalie,"
I look down. "I'm not that boring huh?"
"Please, boring might have been the girl that canceled on me. I'm glad she did."
I look at his blue eyes. "Why did she cancel?"
He shrugs. "Califonia girls would rather see a pop concert than opera I think."
"Don't stereotype girls, she might have been busy."
He smiles. "Well who cares."
I open the door. "Night."
I am turning to say bye to him but he gets me and kisses me.
His lips are smushed into mine. I want to laugh. It feels like my 2nd grade kiss. It is so funny.
I pull away. I touch my lips and try not to laugh.
"I really like you," he says. I look at him as a step back a bit. His cheeks are pink and he seems vulnerable.
"Daniel, I don't-"
"I know," he says.
I frown a bit. "Then why are you trying to kiss me and stuff?"
"Stuff?" he chuckles. I look down. "You're handsome. I'm not gonna lie, you're hot but I'm not attracted to you," I say. I close my eyes; I am afraid of his reaction.

Luke's Point of View
..
I am petting Louie on the couch. I didn't leave Rose's place after she left with Daniel. I want to surprise her and do her hard again.
I hear the door open and stand to hug her.
But then I hear Daniel's voice. Shit. I hide behind the couch.
Rose opens the door. "night."
I look over and see him kissing her! Fuck him. What the hell? He got the balls to make a move on her. Rose pulls away.
"I really like you," Daniel says.
"Daniel, I don't-"
"I know," he says.
"Then why are you trying to kiss me and stuff?" Rose asks.
"Stuff?" he chuckles.
"You're handsome. I'm not gonna lie, you're hot but I'm not attracted to you," Rose says. Both walk into the apartment. Crap, what the hell do I do?
"So how does that work?" Daniel asks.
I quickly get my phone and text Rose.
Get him out! I'm here.

Her phone rings but she ignores it.
"I think you're very handsome but-"
I take a peek and see him getting closer to her. "So not even a thought of me with you?"
I see Rose clearly getting nervous. "W-what do you mean?"
I send her another text. She doesn't get the damn phone!
He gets her by the waist and kisses her again. She is just standing there I can't get that mad though. It is my fault. I told her to go with him.
I look away. I can't stand it. But I can't screw the plan up.
I hear a thump and look up again. Rose is pinned against the wall. Daniel has her pressed against him. Okay that's it.
I spot Louie and start to signal him to come. He follows me lead and meow.
"Sorry buddy," I say. I pull his tail and he scratches me and meows loudly.
"Louie!" Rose yells. She runs to him and gets him.
"What happened?" Daniel asks. But I don't hear the answer. I run quickly to Rose's room.
I call her.
"What?" she asks.
"Whoa, attitude. I'm in your room."
"What the hell?" she asks.
Then hangs up.
I might be in trouble.
