The Middle (GxG) (Sequel to The Beginning)

Chapter 62

-ROSE'S P.O.V-

    Been 2 months of woken out if a dead sleep because of Zee. 3 am. Each time.
   I know she feels pain for Jamie. I know there is a twin thing. She can't lie when it comes to this. She has woken up screaming because her stomach hurt but it didn't.
   Her body is sore sometimes, not as much as I have seen for Jamie but I know they share pain. It scares me but I'm here for her. Like now.
   4 months away from the wedding, Jamie is almost always in pain. She gave up on keeping her hair. They made a debate on her strength for the honeymoon.
   I want to ask Zee. I want to ask her so bad but I have to wait. And I don't want to do it where it clashes with Jamie's happiness.
   Maybe the 4th of July? I mean, a month out from Jamie's but hey... ALL family will be there. Besides my mother. Or my dad.
   My mom will probably be working at the hospital. And they just restarted a tour in Iraq. So it will be me and Zee's family... maybe mine if she says yes.
   But on the forth. All her family will come down and I can ask in front if everyone. I already have a ring, which I have hidden in Jamie's old room. It's nothing fancy but I have been saving for a while... a little longer than when I asked Jamie if Zee actually would.
   But it was nearly 6. I had saved my babysitting money forever. I just hope she likes it.
   She curls close to me, her tears have stopped. "Can we sleep, Roro?"
    I lay us back gently, like I have done every single session, just hold her.
"Are you going to be okay?"
"Yeah, my stomach just hurt. I'm okay now." And I hate how easily she tries to brush it off her shoulder. Like I don't know twin thing isn't real.
   I go back to my thoughts as soon as I know she has fallen back asleep with her "I love you, baby"
   Prom is coming up. I don't know why our school has it scheduled weird. I want to ask her to prom but I'm not sure how.
   There is so much I want to do with and for this woman. But we have to get over this. We can.
   I'm fucking terrified for Jamie. I love her so much...she's my best friend. And I don't know if I can lose her.
   I don't think Zee can lose her. My thoughts race constantly. Until they slow. And sleep consumes me.

"Roro."
"NONO"
"Roro"
"NONO"
"Pleeeeaaase. I'm starving."
"You can drive."
"But I don't want to."
"But you can."
"But I'm safer if you do."
"That makes no sense."
"ROSE."
    Her tone of voice sends chills down my back. So easily pissed off lately.
"Fucking heard that. Fine. I'll go by myself."
"I'm sorrrryyyy."
"If you were sorry, you would be taking me for food."
   I take a deep breath before letting out a loud groan. She laughs at me.
"I love you."
"That doesn't get you out of driving."
    She climbs off of me. Her warmth... leaving me cold. I feel sad.
"Babe please?"
   I slowly get up and shake my head. "You know.. it's Sunday. I want to sleep more before school.."
"We can after we eat."
"Mm..."
"Food."
"You are food. A sexy slice of cake. Sweet delicious cake. With cream cheese icing."
"Did you work hard on that one?"
"I want to work hard on you."
"Roooo. Feed me first and then maybe."
"You can eat Master."
"Rose, I swear. If you don't get your ass up and we leave, Doghouse."
"Fucking hate that. I'm just trying to be affectionate."
"By being horny."
"Sometimes."
   I start getting ready. She never has actually 'Doghoused' me before. She can't sleep without me. And I can't without her.

"Why do you keep staring at me?"
"I don't know? Am I not allowed to look at my beautiful babygirl?"
   She hesitates. And a shade of red appears on her cheeks. That's what I thought. I smile to her.
   The rest of the meal is mostly silent, just small touches here and there. How can I not? She's beautiful.
   I'm ready to leave when she offers ice cream. Fuck I love ice cream.
"Why are you so nice today?"
"Because I've kept you up like every Friday night and Saturday morning."
    Twin thing. You won't admit it. But twin thing. And I know you can fucking hear me.
   
   She groans. "How the fuck can you eat so much ice cream?"
"I don't know." I burp and lick my lips.
"Better question, why do I see that as sexy?"
"That is a very, very good question, Zee. I can't answer it for you though, babygirl."
   I have no shame. I love ice cream.
"Can we go home? I wanna go to sleeep." I pout.
"Yeah, I'm tired now."
"Probably. I know how well you handle your sugar rushes."
"Hey. Fuck off."
"Not without you." I wink.
