ROSE P.O.V
"Wait why did you get fired?" I ask.
Katie gulps, "Well ever since that magazine got out this morning the press has been following me around like dogs, asking all sorts of questions. "What's your best friend's name?" "Are you a model?" "What's your connection to Eric Carter?" "Are you two dating?" "How did you meet?" She says mockingly.
"I was working and they wouldn't go away until I threw a couple of cd's at their cameras and accidentally hit a customer" she admits and takes another swing of beer.
I feel Alex's gaze on me as I look at Katie shockingly.
"Don't glare at me, I didn't expect for this to happen" I snap at him, walking to the kitchen and taking the beer from Katie, drinking it.
"I'm going to change my clothes...at least I can burn this uniform" Katie mumbles walking up the stairs.
"No more alcohol, Rose you've had enough" Alex orders.
"No MorE AlcOhoL rOsE" I mock."Shut up I don't care" I take another swing of beer.
He huffs and walks over slowly to me and I walk to the other side of the counter taking another swig.
He moves to fast before I can run he has me stuck in a corner. His eyes silently daring me to open my mouth. I suddenly have to urge to take off his shirt my hand twitches but I restrain.
"I gave you plenty of chances Rose Winter" he growls while moving closer. He takes the bottle from me setting it on the counter. I can feel his body heat bouncing off him. "Now explain why you wore that dress" he says.
Did I hear him right? He was mad because of a dress? A laugh escapes my mouth he glares as I go into a fit of laughter.
His hands grabs my bare stomach and sets me on the counter, then he pushes me toward him so that our bodies are touching.
His lips go to my ear "I'm going to change that laughter into you moaning my name in a second if you don't stop" He whispers his voice even more deeper than before. I gasp at his words I want to challenge him...make him squirm but he sounds like he means what he said. I can't look at him so I look down. The silence is deafening, I just know he is smirking I flush.
I open my mouth then close it. Why does this man always leave me speechless? I bit my lip. He touches my bottom lip with his finger "Don't do that" he commands leaving the kitchen and going to sit on the couch.
"Answer the door it's Eric" Katie yell from upstairs. Someone's at the door I didn't even hear a knock? I got up to see but Alex already turns the knob and there stood a very happy Eric, hiding behind him is Mya.
"Who wants to go clubbing again? I got drinks so we can get pre-drunk" he says happily till he sees Alex standing there.
"Did I say club? I meant I brought drinks to celebrate Katie's promotion" He says nervously. Alex lets them in and closes to the door. "She got fired" I state taking the drinks into the kitchen anyway.
"Well fuck it then, I brought drinks to stay inside and wallow in our sorrows" he explains. They all sit on the couch.
I motion for Mya to come in the kitchen . She has on a pink dress with pink flats, her honey color hair in loose waves. "Holy shit why am I just seeing this?" Eric says holding up the magazine.
"You have a beautiful home" compliments Mya.
"Thank you".
"Ahh the honey bun stealer" Eric laughs.
"What?" I ask Eric.
"You decided to steal a honey bun from across the street" he laughs.
Katie comes downstairs in grey sweatpants and a black tee.
"Yup not to mention your crying fit"
"he's SeXy bUt hE mEaN anD tells mE wHat tO do" she mocks in my voice.
I stop and put the drinks in the refrigerator I can feel myself blushing not looking at anyone.
Alex smirks.
"You had a panic attack about someone getting to you-" Eric explains not before he stole a look at Katie.
She stares him down as if to say 'shut your mouth'.
It got quiet and I take out a bottle and drink it. Mya senses the tension in the room and makes her way over to Katie.
"We spoke on the phone the other day I'm Mya" she says.
"I'm Katie, Rose's roommate and best friend" Katie replies.
