Lucky Rose

Chapter 21

Rose's POV

"Dominic, can I ask you a question." We we're laying in bed after a great love making session. I was laying on his chest. He was built just like the Game and I loved laying on his chest.

"Of course, baby. What's up?"

I never asked him about children. I wondered if he would be okay without having a family. I started to cry.

"Do you want children?" I asked him.

"I can't lie, Rose. Yeah I want children. I also know you can't have children. And before you ask, nawl I'm not gonna go make babies outside of you."

"Nic, be for real. As bad as you want children, you're gonna have some. You were so excited when you thought Ashton was pregnant."

"Like I said, Rose. Yes I want a family. I never said I didn't. But I also know what happened. We can't change the fact that you can't have children. I'm willing to compromise; if it meant that I was with you." I let it go after that. We just sat there and watched a movie until I fell asleep.

That conversation was about six months ago. Dominic and I have been doing good lately. I can't lie, I swear I miss my best friend. I'm so lonely. Dominic have been out working so much. I'm at home most of the time. After my classes I come straight home. I don't have to work because Dominic takes care of everything.

So here I am, at the house alone. I did something extremely stupid.

"Hello?"

"Can you meet me somewhere?"

"Sure; where?"

"Meet me Johnson's."

"Okay, cool."

I got up, took a shower, and I got dressed. I threw on a red crop top and some skinny jeans. I threw on the leopard Red Bottoms Dominic got me. I grabbed my keys and purse and I headed over to Johnson's.

Johnson's was a nice little soul food restaurant. I wanted to go to Mama Jo's, but I didn't want to risk Dominic finding out who I was meeting. I went in grabbed a booth and waited until she showed up.

"Hey, Rosy," Lisa said.

"Hey, Lisa," I responded. "Have a seat."

She took a seat. "What made you want to meet up?"

Before I could answer, the server came over. "Hey, my name is Emily. I'll be your server today. Can I get you anything to drink?"

"Yes ma'am. Can I get a Dr. Pepper, please?" I asked.

"Yes ma'am. And for you?"

"Yes, can I get a Sprite?" Lisa asked.

"Yes, I'll be right back," Emily said and walked off.

"Back to your question...I'm bored. Dominic doesn't let me work. I have no other friends besides you. Why would you do that to me?"

Emily came back with our drinks and asked for our order. I got the fried pork chops with onions and mushrooms on top. For my sides, I got loaded baked potato and steamed broccoli. Lisa got the fried chicken with macaroni and baked beans. Emily walked off again, and Lisa and I continued our conversation.

"Rose, you have no idea how sorry I am. I met Ralph at a club one night. What I thought was just a one night stand, it kept happening. After a while, we fell in love I guess. Once he found out that I was friends with you, I realized that he kept me around to get to Seven."

Lisa paused while Emily sat our good on the table. She refilled our drinks and she walked away.

"One day at the house, he walked in on us. He said that we were so sexy together and that he wanted me to keep fucking you so he could get more information on the traps. He offered me 350 thousand to keep doing it. He said once he was running the streets then he would have everything he need."

"Lisa, I'm worth more than 350 thousand. All you had to do was talk to me. I'm sorry for what I did to you. At the time, I was so angry with you. I felt betrayed. You were my best friend. I would have done anything for you."

"I know that, Rosy. You have no idea how much I hurt and beat myself up over what I did to you. There's been times I wanted to call you up but I couldn't because you weren't talking to me. I miss my best friend. I miss our dates and our sleepovers. What am I supposed to do without you?"

I knew how she was feeling. Shit gets rough when you're by yourself. I mean we went from being best friend to being lovers to being enemies. Trust and believe if we were to become friends again, nothing would be the same. I would never trust her that way again. And I most definitely wouldn't sleep with her.
