Chapter 29

ROSE'S perspective

"Oh look who's back. I hope you had a good fuck last night!"

This was the first thing I heard when I walked back into my apartment. I was on a high from my time with Emelia, but once again, Kai had to speak his piece.

"Language." I warned, taking off my shoes. I had no time to listen to his bantering about my whereabouts.

"You spent the night..." I watched him look over at the clock. "It's one, you spent the entire morning with her."

I tried to avoid his shock, mainly because I couldn't tell if he approved of my "relationship" with Emelia or if he truly was not a fan of what we had going on. I wasn't seeking his blessing but he was all I had left. In a way I wanted to know his opinion because I'm falling for her. Maybe not hard, but I do like her.

A lot.

I turned away to walk to my room, doing my best to ignore his comments and my thoughts. "I'm going to take a shower."

"Good. You smell like sex and hamburgers."

I leaned against my door once I made it inside. Feeling exhausted yet completely floating in the clouds. I felt good. She had made me feel good. And if she truly meant what she had said, then I was making her feel good too. The feeling made me happy.

I peeled off my clothes and stepped into the shower, hating the fact that I had work and I couldn't just lounge around for the rest of the day. If it were up to me, I would've opted to stay with Emelia for a few more hours. It seems that was all I could need with her before I felt content again. I didn't realize how much my body gravitated towards her, how it craved her. And even if it was the small things, like her smiles or laughs. I loved it all.

Time seemed to pass while the warm water slid down my body. I washed my hair and lathered myself, thankful that it helped me wake up from my daydreaming.

I sat on my bed, beginning to moisturize my legs and arms before my phone started to vibrate. I had wanted it to be Emelia texting me, maybe just to check up on me or say a quick hello. I was surprised to find that it was from Erin.

Erin.
You can have her Rose's just know what's coming.

I scrunched my nose. Erin was acting out of character and it made me uncomfortable. I'm not sure what she expected. I was vulnerable after I slept with Emelia for the first time and she told me it was a mistake. Erin was a shoulder to cry on and I thanked her countlessly for her gestures. But I thought it was clear (even if it wasn't to myself) that I liked Emelia. There was something about her that pulled me closer, and even if I tried, I couldn't stay away.

I don't know why Erin's jealousy and possessive side popped out when I realized who I wanted.

And sure, it was wrong to play with both of them but I never committed myself. Emelia was my boss and she was someone I met on a dating app, our relationship would always be bumpy. But Erin had been my friend for years. Why now did she want me?

My thoughts carried me away and I was now running late. I rushed to get dressed and did my best at styling my hair.

"I'll grab some food on my way back. Go outside and read a book or study for finals. Do something other than bug me!" I laughed so he knew I was joking, in which her returned and told me to leave before I was even more late than I already was.

While driving, Erin's text only echoed louder throughout my head. It was almost creepy the way she worded it. I didn't believe she could do something dangerous, but then again she was showing me a side of her I hadn't seen before and it was quite alarming.
