Rose [S.M]

Rising star

We are back in New York City. Not for long though but still, it felt good to sleep in my own bed last night. And most importantly, to see Ali and Oo.. Kenneth again. Now that it looks like Liz permanently moved in at her boyfriends apartment and me in a different city almost everyday, Ali felt lonely. So, our superhero Kenneth took some extra days off from work and flew to New York to surprise her. That is the type of guy, you should date.

I am running through the house, in blind panic because I cannot find my phone (again). That thing is stuck on my hand almost every second of the day but when I need it, it's gone. But the thing is that the car that supposed to bring me to Madison Square Garden should be here any moment now and I cannot leave the house without my phone. Andrew will freak out if I do not pick up my phone. No joke.

"Alissa, have you seen my phone?." I yell as I pick up the pillows from the couch and throw them away.

"Jesus."- Alissa mumbles with her mouth full of food "who is going to clean this up, Missy?."

"Instead of complaining, you could help me look for it."

"I believe that Ken has your phone."- Excuse me? I stop with what I am doing and look over my shoulder at her. "Well, I am assume that he is calling with your phone because I don't know who else has Shawn's his phone number."

"He is doing what?."

"He is in the kitchen." That motherfucker...

"Brace yourself babe." Ali yells to Kenneth as I storm to the kitchen. I don't mind (well, it's weird but Kenneth has done weirder things) that he is calling Shawn but what bothers me is that I have been looking for that thing for over 20 minutes, running around like a mad woman and he had it all along.

"Kenneth Bakker."- I raise my voice as I look at him as he sits on one of the bar stools with my phone attached to his ear.

He hold his hand up for me to stop talking "Shawn honey, hold up for a second."- he says with the biggest smile on his face as he stares at me "Rose, haven't you learned that it's impolite to interrupt someone while they are on the phone."

I give him a dumbfounded look as I hold my hand out for him to give my phone back. I need to save my energy for today. It's going to be one long ass day so, I need all the help I can get.
"Listen babe, I have to call you back later. Rose demands for me to give her phone back." Kenneth listen to what Shawn says on the other side of the line and laughs softly.

"Alright, See you later dude." He says as he hands me the phone.

"Thank you very much." I look to the phone and see that the call is connected for 13 minutes. Jesus Christ. What the hell did they talked about for 13 minutes?

R: "I see that you guys had a lot to talk about."

S: "Hi sweetheart."- he says in a soft, sweet voice. Followed by a low chuckle. Wait? He called me sweetheart. That probably means that Andrew isn't with him. He never really calls me any nicknames when other people are around. Especially not when Andrew is with him. So, my next question is: where is Andrew? "Just some manly talks. How was your morning?."

"Believe me, you don't want to know."- I can rant about it forever. "Where are you by the way?." In the background, you can hear a door open and the city noises become more noticeable but it disappears again after a couple of seconds.

"Well, you probably hear your bell ringing in 3,2,1."- the loud buzz of the intercom system echoes through the apartment "I am in front of your apartment building, in case you hadn't figured that out yet."

"You should really consider a career as illusionist." I say sarcastically as I grab my bag.

"Okay miss smartypants, hurry up. We don't have all day." And he hangs up the phone. Rude.
