Luke's Point of View
India has been great. Most of the great part is Nayda. I've seen her in a beautiful traditional attire. She has showed me her family side. She loves everyone even if her aunts disapprove of her not being married. They are still stuck in the old ways but Nayda explained it is the western ways. Her family is good. They don't dislike girls being born but they do believe it is their duty to be married and be mothers.
"Do you think you ever get married?" I ask.
She smiles. We are at a park with two of her little cousins. They are happily playing in the swings.
"Maybe, but if I do, I hope it is by my choice,"
"Does your father have possible husbands waiting for you?"
She nods. "They are good men and I know them but I don't feel attracted to them."
I kind of feel relief. She still likes me.
"So anyways, what did Daniel say about Rose?" She asks.
"What do you mean?"
"Luke you said you saw her but you talked to Daniel, did you guys talk about her?"
"No, I just went to do business. She was just there,"
Nayda smirks. "Sure okay, and then you like me?"
I nod. She blushes. "Cool."
"Nana!" Jasmine comes by running, "a boy fell! His bone!"
I run towards the small crowd of children. A young man is there trying to calm everyone down.
"My leg! Baba!" I see the boy in pain. I see his leg has been twisted.
"Help sir! This is my brother," the young man says. I nod. "I'm Luke, I need to carry you okay?"
The boy cries but nods. I pick him up. Nayda bumps into me and tells me to take him to the nearest house.
"At the jews house," the boy's brother says, "Mr. Stan, his home is like a library."
"Run and I follow,"
I arrive to Mr. Stan's home sore and sweaty. Nayda comes by with her cousins and asks to take care of them.
"Oh boy, his leg miss," Mr. Stan says as he comes in with a first kid aid.
"Take the girls. This isn't going to get prettier," she says.
I nod and we wait in the kitchen.
"Is the boy gonna be okay?" Jasmine asks. She is the oldest, 10 years old. She takes her little sister and pets her hair. "Nana is gonna heal him. Remember she is a doctor in America."
I nod. "She is the best. You guys just pray he is going to be better."
...Turns out, the boy's father didn't want Nayda to treat him so they took him to the hospital.
We arrive to Ralph's home.
"Is she okay? I hear what happen," he asks. I wait till I see Nayda go into a room with the girls.
"The boy's father refused her service,"
Ralph nods. "Typical."
"I've seen women doctors, why did he act-"
"Let me put this in a way you can relate, would you rather get surgery by a doctor who barely got their license or a doctor with 20 years of experience?"
I guess I get it. Nayda is still young. She has been practicing medicine for only 3 years.
"Being a woman was merely the excuse, trust me," Ralph pats my arm and leaves.
I wait for Nayda in the back yard.
She sits next to me in the stairs. "I hope the boy can walk again," she whispers.
"He will, thanks to you,"
She looks at me. "Can I ask something different from our conversation?"
"Sure,"
"If Rose would have forgiven you, would you take her back?"Rosalie's Point of View
Daniel is helping me move into Shayla's place. She insisted for me to go with her; I told her about my dilemma with Daniel and she asked if I wanted to move in with her.
"Is this it?" Daniel asks. I look at my-well my old empty apartment. "Yeah, gonna miss this place."
"But you need people around you missy," Shayla comes in. She takes the small box I had in my hands. I smile at her. "Let's go."
Shayla and I take the rest of the day to fix my things. Her place is way nicer than mine. She even has an extra room available. "If your brother wants to stay over," she smiles.
"I will tell him, so how about food? I'm starving,"
"Sweet Daniel said he was going to bring us some,"
"You think I should have told him the real reason why I said no to him?"
"Rose, you are the only one who can make that decision. I am very happy to have a roommate,"
Daniel comes in with food. It smells like Mexican food.
"Enjoy my ladies," Daniel winks at me. I am lucky to have him.
.....I stay over Daniel's place for tonight only. He needs my help with a project for Gordon's.
"So I am going to tell you this because I am invited and you are my girlfriend and-"
I stand, "what is it?"
He looks at me. "Luke send me an invitation for a charity event at a local hospital. It is to help children and it will be great publicity for the company,"
I sigh. Seriously, why does he have to come back into my life?
I feel Daniel hug me from behind. "You don't have to go, but I want to know what you think," he whispers. I touch his hands. "It will be good if you go," I turn around, "but if you really want be there I will go. We don't have to be with him and besides he doesn't work with you."
He smiles. "Of course." We kiss. His lips play with mine and his tongue pokes mine. He has lately been very passionate. We haven't been together since the other night.
"I want you Rosalie,"
I bite my lip. "Okay."
He attacks my neck. I jump as his teeth bite into my skin. It hurts but then I feel tingly down there.
"I didn't know you like it rough," he whispers in my ear.
"I-I don't I just-" he kisses me to shut up. His arms wrap around my waist and I feel him getting big.
It feels good to be with him. I pull back and take off my sweater. He takes off his button down shirt and removes his belt. I take off my shoes and turn around placing my hands on his desk.
"Nice," I feel his manhood against me. He takes off my bra and kisses my back. His lips brush all the way down to my bottom. He stops. "Ready?"
"Yes."
....The night goes smoothly and I fall asleep in his strong arms.
Coming up:
I recognize the woman with Luke. She is the doctor who attended him when I took him to the hospital. She looks like a royal Indian woman. Her dress moves as she is walking towards me. Luke is behind her.
"Miss Rose?" She smiles at me.
I start to get nervous. "H-Hey hi miss doctor lady,"
Oh man, I am so stupid.
"I'm Dr. Holmes Remember?"
I nod. Luke arrives at her side. His tuxedo is matching the red color of her dress.
Daniel soon catches up to me and wraps his arm around me. "Hello Dr. Holmes, how are you?"
She smiles. "Very well, I am glad you did come Daniel. This is such am important cause for this hospital."
"Anything to help the community," Daniel sounds so respectful.
I am just looking at Dr. Holmes. She is so beautiful. Is she with him? As a girlfriend? Are they just friends?
"Miss Rose, are you feeling well? Do you need medical assistance?"
I shake my head. "No, no I need to go to the bathroom." I walk out of the situation. My stomach feels like it dropped to the floor. My throat feels dry. Why cant I just get over it? He did.
