Lucky Rose

Chapter 4

Seven's POV

No fucking lie, when Rose hugged me, my dick stood at full attention. I was so glad she backed a way when she did. I didn't want her to get the wrong idea. We hung out a lot since that night. I was glad she was warming up to me.

Graduation was only a month away. I had my grades. My GPA was 3.85. I have been able to maintain thanks to Rose honestly. She stayed up late nights with me FaceTiming and studying. Ashton dumbass couldn't do shit. She has been working a lot lately though. She did make her own money and didn't depend on me so much. Truth be told, she hasn't bitched about me spending time with Rose either. I honestly think she was cheating on me.

I was chilling at home when Ashton came in. She walked right past me. Didn't speak or look my way. I followed her to our bedroom.

"What's up with you?" I asked her. She ignored me. "I know you fucking hear me."

"What, Luck?" she asked.

"What you so agitated for?" I asked her. She had her back towards me and I turned her around to face me. I looked at her neck and she had hickies for days. "Really? So that's what we're doing now?" I said pointing at her neck.

"So I'm just supposed to lay around here while you're out screwing around on me?" she said with her voice cracking.

"Ash, I'm not screwing around on you. I'm here with you all day and fucking night unless I'm checking on my businesses. Other than that, I'm here!"

"And Rose?" she asked.

"Baby, I'm not fucking Rose! I have not fucked this girl ever!" She was pissing me off. All because she thinks I'm fucking Rose she's out here cheating on me. I walked away because had I stayed I would've hit her ass.

"So you're just gonna walk away!" she yelled following behind me.

Her birthday was tomorrow. I planned on proposing to her stupid ass. I grabbed her gift from my drawer and threw it at her.

"Happy birthday," I said looking at her. No lie I loved Ashton. That's why she's been around for so long. Not just for sex, but also because I loved her.

She opened it and started crying. Ain't no need in crying now.

"Luck, I'm so sorry baby," she cried. "I thought you were fucking with Rose."

"All you had to do was fucking ask me. I've been a hunnid with you from the jump! Why would I start lying now?! You better get away from me!"

I have never laid my hands on Ashton, and I wasn't about to start now. I know I shouldn't have gone to Rose, but I was way too pissed off at Ashton to stay at home.

Rose's POV

It was getting late and I had class at 9 in the morning. I laid across my bed with a cup of hot chocolate. KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK. I looked at the clock and it read 11:45. I got up, grabbed my bat, and headed for the door. I looked through the peephole and it was Dominic. What was he doing here so late?

"Hey," I said letting him in. "What's going on?"

"Ashton is cheating on me," he said taking a seat on the couch.

I knew Ashton from back in the day. We never really got alone. She was my bully. She used to tease me all the time and call me flowerbed because of my name. I honestly despised the girl.

"How do you know that?" I asked him.

"She came home with hickies all over her neck. I was gone propose to her tomorrow."

Now this was the Dominic I've gotten to know. He wasn't this dangerous monster everybody painted him to be. I ain't gone lie like my feelings for him isn't there, but I mean damn. If it wasn't for his girlfriend, he would be mine. And if it wasn't for what Demarcus did to me, I could give myself to him fully.

"I'm sorry, Nic," I said to him. I went to sit by him. He had slouched down on my couch. "What can I do to help?"

"Can I crash here tonight?" He asked.

I would've disagreed because the thought of a man under the same roof as me scared me, but because of the time spent with him, I'm not afraid anymore. "Yeah sure. Take the other bedroom."

He went out and grabbed a duffle bag. I guess he just knew I would agree to let him stay. I mean we've become great friends since we reconnected. He helps me through my anxiety. He's even helped me with my classes. And I've done the same for him. He was my friend, I'll do anything for him.

BANG!!! I jumped up. I noticed it was raining outside. That shit scared the hell outta me. I looked at the time and it was 3 in the morning. I walked into the kitchen, and I froze. I completely forgot Dominic was here. Here he is in my kitchen, with nothing but his boxers on. God this man was Adonis in the flesh.

I admit I was staring hard. Dominic made me feel things that I know I shouldn't feel. He gave me butterflies. He turned around and jumped.

"Damnit, Rose! You scared the fuck outta me!" he yelled. I couldn't stop staring at his chest.
