It was around 3:15 when Roseabella took her break. She got in the car and started blasting "Me, Myself, and I" by Beyoncé. She stopped at the nearest Chick-Fil-a by her brothers school. She got a Chicken sandwich with Chick-Fil-a sauce for her and for her brother she got chicken nuggets, they both got a medium lemonade.
I cant believe I feel for your schemes I'm smarter than that
So dumb and naïve to believe that with me you're a changed man
Foolish of me to compete when you cheat with loose women
It took me some time, but now I moved on
Because, I realized I got
"OMG my eardrums!!!! You sound like a dying chipmunk." Alex yells as he climbs in the front seat.
When he sits Roseabella shoves him that bag of chicken nuggets. Instantly a smile forms on Alex's' lips.
"You can sing all you want" He muffles with chicken nuggets stuffed in his mouth.
"Seatbelt!" Roseabella yells at her brother who looks like he hasn't eaten in years. "You're a barbaric mess. At least act civilized you're getting crumbs all over my seats."
10 minutes later
Tell grams that I'll try to come home early. There is supposed to be a storm and I do not want to be caught on the middle of it." Roseabella says while giving her brother a smooch on the side of his face.
4 hours later
Roseabella couldn't get off of work early and now it was pouring down. Leaving her job and entering the parking lot she runs into a man. The speed she was running at caused her to bounce off of the mans chest. Sure that she was going to fall she braced herself for impact. Which never came.
"Yes boss, I'll see you then." He said as he hung up the phone, turning around. as soon as he did he felt someone run into him. With his quick reflexes he reached out and grabbed the girl before she fell.
"Thanks" Roseabella says as she straightens her clothes. she looked at the stranger and her eyes couldn't help but wonder. The shirt he had on clung to his body because of the rain. And boy was he in good shape. The drenched shirt showed off every muscle on his upper torso. Before her eyes could wonder any lower she shook her head and her eyes shot up to look the man in his eyes.
"Are you ok?" The man asks
"Other than the drenched clothes, soggy socks, and how my hair is no longer straight but a curly mess, I'd say I'm a beautiful ray of sun shine." She said very sacasticly.
"Well seeing as your fine I'll be on my way." He said with a smirk. "My names Brandon by the way, incase you ever wanna tell the story of how a stranger saved you from an unexpected death."
Roseabella scoffs," If anything I'm the one who saved you. If it weren't for me you would've been washed away by the worst storm of the century. I believe thanks are in order."
"Yes they are, but only in your dream." Brandon says with a smirk. "I told you my name I do believe I should know the name of the girl who supposedly saved my life."
"I never asked for your name so that sounds like a personnel problem. Thanks for not letting me fall but I should really get going." Roseabella says while walking past Brandon.
"Wait!! Can I at least get your number." He yells after her.
Roseabella turns around and walks back to the man. She gives him her number and says" Now I really have to go. Bye Brandon."
Roseabella wasn't in a rush to get back home seeing as she hadn't forgot about that conversation that her grandmother wanted to have with her.
So instead of going straight there she just drove around. Unknowingly she drove to the shack of a house she used to live in along with her brother, though he was too young to remember .
She stayed at the front of the house for a while, looking at it now it wasn't really a shack, just a normal house, practically identical to the ones surrounding it.
A house but never a home.
She turned off her car and opened the car door. She was about to step out but then she saw a light turn on in the house. It was the attic the place where her bedroom was. The attic was truly the only space in the house that she liked.
The window to the attic was the highest , and every time there was a full moon the light of the moon would shine through. On those nights Roseabella would feel the safest. Even if the feeling was never long lived.
