Rose Mortimer:

The school day passed like normal, lunch was a little weird because Kendyn and I kept stealing glances. I think Carrie caught on to something but I didn't want my brothers too.

I was making my way to my car to go home since I didn't have anything last period I was nearly there before I got stopped by Bryan.

"Rose wait up!" he called out catching up with me. I took a deep breath, turning around to face him.

"What the fuck do you want now?" I sighed out aggravated.

"I want us to talk, I just wanted to say-" he started but my eyes caught sight of a familiar pair of brown eyes.

That smile...

"Rose, are you listening?" Bryan snapped me out of my trance waving his hands in front of my face. I blinked rapidly but my eyes were still looking out for Kendyn's.

"Are you serious? Him!" Bryan yelled turning his head and saw where my eyes were drawn to.

I brought my attention back to Bryan's face that looked very mad. That look in his eyes brought back some bad memories. I turned my head to look for Kendyn again, he saw the panicked look I held in my eyes he started to make his way towards us. Bryan was coming close to me and was saying things that my mind couldn't process at this moment. I tried fiddling with my keys to open the car door but I wasn't that lucky, I dropped them.

"Is there a problem here?" once I heard his voice my body relaxed and I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in.

Kendyn stepped In front of me in a protective manner and crossed his arms over his chest making his muscles bulge giving him a scary look. I never realised how much muscle he had until now, he was wearing a wife beater his tattooed arms were showed off as well as those toned muscles.

"No, there is no problem. We were just... talking." Bryan spoke through gritted teeth, glaring at Kendyn then his eyes landed on me.

"This isn't over, we still need to talk." he glared once more at the both of us before he left in a different direction. When he came out of sight or at least in a safe distance away Kendyn turned to me taking me in his arms.

"Are you ok?" I held on to him tighter and nodded my head.

"Mi Rosa you are shaking." he pointed out pulling away holding me by my shoulders.

I didn't realise that I was that shook up. I know that Bryan wouldn't physically hurt me but that look in his eyes when he saw that I was looking at Kendyn got me in a hell of a state.

" I'm fine, just gonna head off home now." I bent down to pick up my keys when they were snatched out of my hands.

"I'm not letting you drive in that state. Get in the car, I'm driving," he stated blankly.

The car ride was done in silence but not an awkward one. I glanced to see his hands firmly grip the steering wheel and his jaw clench.

"It's weird not to see you drive a manly car."  I giggled while he looked at me confused.

"What do you mean Mi Rosa?" he turned his head slightly before watching the road again.

"I mean you are driving the definition of a girly car, you usually drive big imposing 'manly' cars, that isn't a baby blue colour and has the reputation of being the head cheerleader's car." once it clicked his deep, rich laugh resonated in the car.

"It's the man that makes that car 'manly' like you say not the other way around baby."

Baby... I think I just died and was sent to a heavenly place.
