His Rose

Bed buddies

Rose's POV: 

Silence followed after I have finished spilling everything to Diana. It took me almost three hours to explain everything because she kept interrupting me with comments, even called me a dumb bitch a couple of times. 

She stared at me, sipping on her liquor as her eyes squinted at me. 

"Are you going to say anything or you're just going to stare at me like a lunatic?" I asked. 

"You, little miss Rosie are in love with mister gangster Jack and you're scared. Not of him because based on what you've told me so far he would never hurt you intentionally, but you're afraid of his lifestyle and what it means for your future because you've always wanted the white picket fence house life and babies but you're thinking being with Jack you won't have that because you would rather die before bringing a child into this world.  And I know you're trying to suppress your feelings for him but sweetie you're not only hurting yourself but him as well. You need to grow some balls and just go for it. And I doubt Jack can't keep his own family safe, I mean have you seen the size of this man? It's like literally talking to a tattooed mountain! " 

It was my turn to stare at her, mouth gaping. It's always baffling to me how Diana knew exactly what was going on in my head, and how she expressed it so easily. I didn't even know I felt that way until she pointed it out. And suddenly, everything made sense somehow. 

"I mean, what the hell you just psychoanalysed your best friend, girl you gotta do me next!" a voice came out of nowhere, scaring us half to death. I screamed in fright and accidently poured all my wine on my shirt and sweatpants. 

"Jamal you doofus! Were you listening this whole time? That is an invasion of privacy I cannot believe you right now" I whined. Diana chuckled. 

"Aw I'm sorry princess I didn't mean to I came out here for a phone call and I overheard your little friend's explanation and I honestly want her to analyse my life as well" he innocently said. 

I shook my head, Jamal was too cute and nice for me to be mad at him. "Come, have a seat and a drink. I'll go change quickly and we'll listen to your life story" I giggled, the alcohol slowly kicking in. 

I got up and headed inside, only to bump into Lee. Lee and I haven't had a proper conversation ever. And so imagine my surprise when he spoke these words to me. 

"Why is Jamal alone with Diana outside?" My eyes widened. "I uh, well I have to go change because I spilled wine all over myself. And Jamal just wanted to join our little therapy session is all, really. You can join in as well you know? The more the merrier as they say" I rambled. 

He eyed me stiffly before he nodded, and walked outside. My drunk self totally thinks Lee has a tiny crush on Diana. 

I shrugged and hopped on the staircase and up to my room. I went straight to my bathroom and stripped out of my smelly clothes and drunkenly washed my body in the shower before stepping out. I had forgotten to bring a towel, but it's my room who's going to see me naked. 

I wish I had brought a towel, because sitting on my bed was Jack. And as soon as his eyes landed on me, they narrowed. My hands quickly reacted and covered myself up just as he stood up. He walked towards the door first, and closed it. He turned towards me, glaring at me. 

"Your door was wide open" he growled. I hiccuped, the heat rushing to my face. 

"If anyone ever saw you like this, I would kill them with my bare hands" he promised as he advanced towards me. I gulped, my eyes darting around the room to find something to cover myself with. My mind went blank as he stood an inch away from me. 

He inhaled and I noticed his clenched fists turn whiter by the second. 

"You have no idea how much you're driving me insane. You are so clueless and naive and defenseless and it makes me crazy because all it makes me want to do is protect you and keep you to myself, safe where no human being can ever hurt you. At the same time I want to  fuck you so hard you won't be able to walk without remembering me. I want you to scream my name so loud so that the whole world knows you're mine and only mine. I want to mark your skin, leave my print on every single inch of you so that no man would ever dare lay his hands on you" he snarled and my breath got caught in my throat. With every word, my mind sobered up a bit more but I was still tipsy. 

He closed his eyes and turned around, taking off his hoodie and handing it to me. I took it and hastily put it on, thankful for my petite frame as the material nearly reached my knees. 

"Jack" I whispered. He turns and stares, waiting for me to speak. I take a step forward, my head barely reaching his chest. I look up at him and smile softly. 

"I want to be yours and only yours. I don't want anybody else. I thought I was scared of the way you live, but I now know that if I'm by your side nothing could ever hurt me" I say, my hand on his cheek. His eyes, a swirl of jade and onyx usually guarded and hidden behind a wall of indifference or rage, were clear for the first time. Jack bent down, his lips reaching mine in a passionate kiss. He inhaled, and the room started to get really hot. We took our time, our tongues dancing together in a never ending dance. Soon enough, we were on my bed with Jack on top of me. 

"As much as I want to fuck you right here right now, you're drunk" he said suddenly, pulling away. I pouted- "I'm sobering up you know"

He smirked, caressing down my left thigh. "You also have your friend waiting downstairs. Go, but tonight you're sleeping in my bed" he winked before getting off of me and exiting my room. 

"What the hell just happened?" I asked my empty room. I giggled and quickly got up, putting my undies and a random pair of black leggings and some fuzzy socks before going back downstairs. 

"Well well well, you little vixen. Y'all kissed or something didn't you?" Jamal asked as soon as I walked towards them. My face flushed as I sat down next to Diana and hid my face in her shoulder. 

"Shut up" I mumbled to which he just laughed. We spent the next hour talking about random things, mostly it was Jamal talking while Diana and I laughed. Lee sat facing Diana and I, he kept quiet the whole time until Diana's phone rang. As soon as she looked at the caller ID, she paled. 

Lee was the first to speak. "What's wrong Diana?"

"N-nothing, I just uh I'll be right back I gotta take this" she stammers before walking back in the house. My gut tells me something's off, but I won't pressure her tonight about it. Lee however, follows her back in. Jamal and I take two shots of bourbon giggling loudly to ourselves. 

"Hey Rose, I gotta go okay? I'll call you tomorrow or something babe" Diana says in a scratchy voice. I frown, standing up to walk towards her. 

"Are you okay? Why do you sound like you're about to cry?" I question. She shakes her head quickly. "I'm fine really, I'm just tired. Bye Jamal it was nice meeting you" she says before kissing my cheek and walking out the door. 

I go inside the house only to find Lee glaring at her car through the window. His eyes followed her until she was out of sight. 

"Rose, come upstairs" Jack's voice rang out before I could ask Lee what was wrong. 

I meet Jack in his room, and his mouth is on mine before I could utter a word. 

"You drank some more" he stated pulling away. I nodded giggling and he rolled his eyes, but a small smile was gracing his face. 

"C'mon, it's time to put your little alcoholic ass to bed" he sighed and directed me towards his bed.  

I laid there, my mind going haywire. I'm actually in bed with Jack. He turned off the lights and I heard some shuffling before he laid next to me. He brought me closer to him, and I put my head on his chest. He kissed my forehead and I mumbled goodnight and before I knew it, I was out like a light.
