Locked OOH; The Lost Volume

Locked Out Of Heaven - Chapter 11

<<Yesterday>>

"Bruno I told you. She loves you. I know both of you are having complications and what you did was fucked up but deep down inside she loves you"

Bruno played with his ring on his index finger. He sighed

"I know but then again. It's Rosa. I understand she might love me but I don't think she'll want to be with me after what happened. I want her so badly though and she doesn't understand that being her friend just hurts. There's no benefit of happiness when I'm just her friend"

"Tell her that".

"It's not that easy Gia"

"Anything worth having doesn't come easy".

"Look, can you put yourself in my shoes!?" Bruno glared.

"I've already been there" Gia responded calmly, examining Bruno's facial expression. Gia saw the pain and she felt it.

Bruno sniffed and covered his face. Silence kept still and rung through their ears. Gia shook her head and grabbed Bruno's hand. "Look, if I were in your shoes. I would tell her how I feel. I know it's not easy but if you really want her. You have to fight for her".

"Maybe I should just let her-"

Bzzzst

Bruno's phone began to buzz on the oak glass coffee table. The phone screen lit up with a familiar face with the name 'Rosa' above it.

"Answer it idiot!" Gia said

"Hello..."

--------

I climbed over her small frame that sunk into the bed. I kissed her lips as our body heat collided. "Hmph, stop it" Rosa groaned and I couldn't help but smile. "Good morning".

Rosa blinked her eyelids and look at me shyly.

"Uhh morning" she replied.
"How'd you sleep?"

"Great, I uh slept like a baby". She laughed

I smiled and kissed her passionately, circling my tongue around in her mouth My breath becoming uneven made me kiss her harder and her hands roam onto my waist.

"I love you" I slipped out.

Ding

I parted my lips from hers and Rosa smiled and grabbed my shirt pulling me closer to her. "You shouldn't have stopped" she whispered and I grinned.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Banging echoed through the condo as if it was empty.

"Coming.." Rosa said. I grabbed her hand and pulled her into my arms. "I got it.."

I walked into the living and swung the door open-not checking the peep hole or even asking who it was-and I regretted it.

--------------

<<An Hour Before>>

"Bruno's with Rosa. He went over there yesterday night. She called him right after Gia talked to him about their 'relationship'." July quoted with her fingers and rolled her eyes.

"Are you kidding me?" Asked Paige

"from what I heard from Gia, no." July replied

Paige stammered and gathered up her purse and keys. "Why?" July asked.

Paige swung her bag over her shoulder. "Because, he was with me yesterday afternoon. We kissed. He's mine and I refuse to let this bitch take him away from me after SHE left him." Paige yelled and slammed the door behind her.

-----------

"Paige?" I was shocked to see her.

"Rosa here?" She hissed out her name.

"Yes, and may she help you with something?" I nearly whispered feeling tension rise as I felt Rosa approaching behind me. "Why are you in her house?" Paige asked.

"Excuse me" I replied. Paige pushed me out the doorway and invited herself in. "I don't recall saying you could come in.." Rosa spat and Paige just snickered.

"I just want to tell you face to face, how stupid you are to choose a guy over your bestfriend. Who does that? Oh right, you." Paige laughed.

"Ok, let's get this straight before I put your ass in check. One, I'm long gone from your 'best friend'." Rosa quoted with her fingers "..once you get that through your jagged ass head, you'll stop saying stupid shit that'll get you fucked up. Two, as a decent women I expect you to at least invite me out for a cup of coffee to tell me face to face, what's on your mind. Finally, I don't got time for your childish games Paige. I know you well enough and it's ok to be jealous".

Rosa took a deep breath and Paige glared at her as if her eyes were knifes.

"Please exit my home and have a good day" Rosa said leading Paige back to the the door. "I guess the kissed we shared yesterday didn't mean anything" Paige's last words hit me. "I ..what?" I stuttered.

The door shut and Rosa looked back at me, hurt. I could see her eyes nearly watering.

"Rosa I .."

"We can't..." Rosa said almost inaudibly. "..can't be together or friends. Last night should've never happened. It was a mistake".

"Don't you dare say that!" I raised my shaky voice.

"I just did" Rosa replied.

I grabbed her hand and she pushed me away. "Get off me"

"Rosa! She kissed me. I haven't kissed her"

"I don't care, leave me alone" she said. I pushed her against the wall and gripped her shoulders.

"No! Rosa and I'm not about to let you go!" I shouted and Rosa wiggled in my grasp.

"Get the hell off me! I hate you! Fuck you! You lying, cheating piece of -"

"ROSA!" I yelled and hugged her tightly. " please, just listen to me." I said calmly.

"You kissed her and then you come over and you-"

"No! No no. She kissed me. I was trying to talk to her about you and how badly I really want you, I can't lose you again. I guess she was upset and tried to change my mind and then she kissed me".

"Why would you even go near her again if you're trying to be with me?"

"I don't know".

"Bruno, I can't be going through this with you. I've already taking enough from you and now I just feel stupid".

"I'm sorry, I truly am. Can we just forget this and please move forward".

"Please Rosa.."

Rosa sighed and looked at me in the eyes. "This is me forgetting the past, but if you dare bring it around me again then I'm done."

"I promise I won't".

Rosa kissed me. "I love you too".
-------

I paced out to my car, hurt but not shedding a single tear. I pulled out my phone.

"Hello? Gia? You wouldn't believe what Rosa said about you..."

" I'll be over in a sec"...
