ROSE

40. Messing

When I took Rose to her class, I started to walk to my own. I honestly did not want to go to class at all but Rose was giving me the hope that my life will be better if I graduate so I wanted to graduate. I wanted to finish school and take her everywhere, make her happy and see her smile. I want to have her forever, I want to marry her, make her mine forever. Forever that doesn't end.

"Anthony," a female voice called from behind and I didn't have to turn to know who it was. I sighed, closing my eyes, really not in the mood for her.

I turned to face her and she didn't waste time before pulling me into a tight hug. "Lindsay," I tried to fake my best smile.

"I missed you." She smiled.

"Didn't I give you a closure last time, Lindsay?" I harshly said because I can't be nice anymore. I tried not only once or twice but several times to tell her that it is over between us but she just doesn't get it.

"What closure?" She played dumb, just like each time.

"Lindsay, now I have someone with me that I actually care about. I am not messing around anymore. Our business is done, over. I can not anymore." It took all the patient in me to keep my voice down and keep my anger controlled.

"You will come back." She smiled, leaning on me and I push her away gently.

"No, I will not."

"Rose?" She sarcastically said.

"Yes, Rose. I am done messing around with you." I tried to make it clear again in case she's too dumb to not understand it a thousand times I mentioned it. She smirked, shaking her head, not believing me. "I love Rose and I am not the person who cheats." Yes, Rose and I are not together yet but I am planning on being one day, she wants it slow and I am taking it slow with her. That doesn't mean that I will go mess around because I will not. It was fun with Lindsay while it lasted.

Her smirk went away when I mentioned the cheating part and I was kind of glad that I have this effect on her. I hope she just gets mad and leaves me alone. Her eyes were full of anger though but it only took her a couple of deep breathes that she took, to calm down.

"Fine, can we sit together and take a cup of tea before I leave for Paris?" She widely smiled.

"Sure."

"No, now." She insisted. "It's not like you really care about the class."

"I'm pretty sure it's someone random from the girls that he used to mess up with." Rita said.

Rita came over to spend the rest of the day with me since I told her I don't want to be around Anthony at the moment. Obviously, she wanted to know the reason so she told me to use her visit as an excuse of Anthony to leave us alone. Although, I wasn't mad at Anthony. I wasn't sure of who sent me this and why. Also, how did they get my number? I sighed.

"I'd tell him." She added, texting Tia back.

"No," I didn't want to tell him, at least not yet. I want to find out who it was first then I will think about telling him. Now, the question is how will I know.

"I honestly think you shouldn't even worry about it. Getting a message like that is just stupid." She said, her eyes still glued to her screen.

"Let the phone down and talk to me." I seriously said and she did as I said.

"I was texting Tia, she doesn't like how I'm ignoring her." She rolled her eyes. "Be grateful I'm spending basically every day with you and see her once in so long."
