Arks pov

Damn she looks good and obviously she still likes the way I look, she did say I had a pretty face. I always hated that work but coming from her it's a compliment. I still have a chance.

I walk across the large roof and find a large cooler and a bowl with a red punch of some type in. I fill my plastic cup and start to look around, I can feel rose behind me.

"what a surprise you found the alcohol first, its a real talent that radar of yours" she's angry and I can't blame her. Why does her sassy insults turn me on so much, its cute that she thinks her comments will get to me. I have a thick skin, she should know this.

"did you make it, it's good. Reminds me of that cocktail I drank off your body at that hotel In miami" my trousers feel uncomfortably tight as I recall that memory. Rose does her best to act unfazed by my comment but I can see by the way she clenches her thighs together that she remembers too.

"oh yeah I remember that's the night where I found you snorting Coke from the toilet seat. Yeah good memories" she rolls her pretty eyes and walks away.

"she's fiesty, she grew some balls" Chad laughs. He's right, shes defiantly stronger than before. I dont think she will take any shit from me.

"Ill just have to work extra hard"

"good luck with that ark, so what do you plan on doing about the boyfriend"

I look over at the blonde man, my suppossed competition. There's no way he can satisfy her like I can, but he makes her happy that's clear to see. Her face beams whenever she's near him, he's gonna be a problem.

2 years, it's been 2 years since I let her get away but it feels like a life time. I can't get over the fact that ludo knew how to get in touch with her this whole time. He watched me suffer, he could have ended this, me and rose could be together now if it wasn't for him. He's lucky he got away with just a busted lip, the only thing that stopped me knocking him out was rose. I know how much she cares for him, she would never have forgiven me. As mad as I am with him I need him on my side if I have any chance of getting rose back.

As much as I try i can't peel my Eyes offer, she's changed but she still looks so good. Her once platinum blonde hair is now honey blonde and cut into a long bob. Everything about her is more mature from her hair to the way she dresses. God she looks amazing in that floral playsuit, I would give anything to just rip it from her body. More than anything I want to feel her lips on mine, I want her to smile at me.

2 years, it's been 2 years since I enjoyed her body. I miss the way her eyes would shine when she looked at me, I could feel her love. I never felt alone, she was always there for me even when she wasn't in the same place.

Being in a band and spending your life touring can be lonely but with rose I felt complete. I saw a future, something I haven't seen for a long time.

Rose is trying her best not to look at me, she's avoiding me and I don't blame her. I betrayed her, the moment I let myself be tempted by drugs I screwed us over. Rose had done everything to keep me clean, to keep me happy. No one ever cared as much as she did, I still don't know why i did it.

I don't even remember most of that night, I just remember waking up to Maggie screaming at me. I didnt belive her when she told me I was married, I believed her less when she told me I had married a stripper.

I had gone straight to the airport so I could return to rose, I had to get to make her understand. I had been too late

Flashback

Ludo is turning into a boring old man and wants to drag me down with him. I may be in a commited relationship but that doesn't mean I can't have fun. Rose knows I party, she expects me to party. we have rules but there reasonable.

1. No cheating, kissing included
2. No drugs , weed included
3. No lying
4. Speak daily even if only for minutes

Being away from Rose is hard, every time she's visited has been great but when she leaves it kills me. I'm starting to count down the days until I see her again, I've never relied on someone like I do her. I hate feeling like I need her, I'm use to being my own man and only relying on myself. It's getting harder and harder to reject drugs when she's not here.

When she's here all my attention is on her on so I don't have time to miss drugs or the way they make me feel, she's better than any drug. I tried my best to get her to join the tour full time but she wouldn't leave her job, she wants to make her own money which I respect but I wish she could be here.

I step out of the limo and head towards the strip club, you would think after the amount of naked women we have seen over the years we would be bored of places like this but honestly it never gets old.  It's clear that everyone knows just how much money will get spent by us, we are treat like royalty and handed drinks before being whisked into the VIP room. I'm not sure how exclusive the room in as it's full of randy men splashing their cash. The musics loud it's obviously a party but what is being celebrated is a mystery. Gill the base player from another band, he barrels towards me and pulls me in for a hug.

"Man it's been years,what are you doing here" I ask

"It's my birthday so I flew all the guys out to celebrate"

"Big 60, happy birthday"

"40 you bastard, do I look 60"

I laugh, I was exaggerating a little but he does look older than his 40 years. The rock star lifestyle has not been kind to him.

"I heard you got married"

He nods "yeah it was either that or she was gonna leave"

Romantic I think to myself, I know no one should get married unless they really believe in what it means.

"I would marry Rose tomorrow" I say aloud.

"Really love struck are you"

"I guess I am, she's a good girl. The best even"

I take a seat and it's not long until a brunette starts to dance in front of me, she's hot but my minds on Rose. I realise that what I had said was how I really felt, I want to get married. I want to marry Rose.

"Champagne for everyone, I'm getting engaged" I scream , the crowd bursts into cheers. I can't celebrate without my best friend so I call Ludo and tell him he needs to get his ass to the club, he hesitantly agrees.

"So what's lilly like" gill asks as he drinks champagne from the bottle.

"Her names rose"

"She's too good for him" Robbii jokes as he punches my arm playfully, I punch him back but he's right she is so out of my league. Rose is kind, smart and sexy.

"My treat" gill says as he holds a small bag between his fingers.

I shake my head, "rule 2 no drugs"

Robbii laughs and helps himself to the coke, Gill looks appauled.

"She's given you rules and your not even married yet" gill laughs.

The more people that indulge in the coke the more I'm tempted I am to take a little. I know I won't stop at a little though that's the problem. I like to party but it's not the same as it was before rehab, I can't be free like I use to be. I could do what I want, take what I wanted and fuck the consequences but now I have Rose to take into consideration. I'm lucky that I have a second chance with her, I can't screw it up again.
