Chapter Seventeen

Rose's P.O.V.

I lay in bed, looking up to the boring white ceiling, watching the fan spin; and continue thinking about these things, until I hear my phone ding beside me. I look over to see my phone light up with a message notification.

I sit up, swinging my legs over the edge of my bed, disconnecting my phone from it's charger; looking through my notifications on the home screen. I see one in particular I smile at, immediately opening it fully.

Emilio:

good morning beautiful! i hope you had a good nights sleep. come downstairs for a surprise ;)

I jump out of bed, sprinting into my bathroom, freshening up.

I quickly brush my teeth, washing my face, and putting my hair up into a messy bun and walking into my closet.

I stay in my leggings, and throw on top Emilio's black hoodie he had given me awhile back.

I grab my phone, making my way downstairs. As I step out of my room, I immediately smell the gracious smell of eggs, bacon, and pancakes. I fully walk down the stairs, walking into the kitchen; and met with a clown.

"Ah!" The clown yells, scaring me as well, causing me to scream as if I was on the worlds most scariest rollercoaster.

"Ahhh! Get away from me!" I yell as I push the clown away, running out of my apartment, screaming at the top of my lungs.

As I'm running, I feel a pair of arms wrap around my waist, pulling me towards them.

"Flor, It's just me!" The person says, I don't pay attention to the words he says as I kick him where the sun doesn't shine.

"Mierda!" (Shit!) He screams as he lets go of me, crouching into a small ball, holding where I had kicked him; falling to the ground.

I run ahead, and slightly looking back, seeing Emilio on the floor.

A hand instantly comes to my mouth as I try to contain my laughs. I walk towards him, seeing him look up at me; pain filling his bright blue eyes.

"I'm so sorry Emilio, I didn't think it was you." I say sincerely, slightly giggling as I crouch down beside him.

"You owe me." He says weakly, still in much pain.

"Oh c'mon little boy, you can't catch me!" I giggle as I see one last glimpse of him smirking; then chasing after me, long forgetting his injury.

I run into my apartment, closing the door behind me to gain some time on him, running up the stairs. But as i'm halfway up, a strong pair of arms quickly whisk themselves around my small waist, pulling me into their chest.

I shriek, not thinking he could have caught up to me.

"I got you Princesa, you're just not fast enough." Emilio whispers as he swiftly turns me around, pushing me slightly into the wall.

I look up at him, his large figure towering over mine: causing him to tilt his neck down. I look into his warm blue eyes, finding myself getting lost within them. He pulls me closer, his lips meeting mine in a warm, gentle kiss.

I melt into his touch, the butterflies errupting in my stomach, and my heart pounding loudly against my chest.

I wrap one of my arms around his chest, and the other one instantly goes to his chest, feeling his steady, yet loud and pounding heart beat against the palms of my small hands.

I pull away slightly, breathing deeply, trying to regain my breath. Emilio looks at me with a goofy smile on his face, his lips now pinker and plumper than ever.
