The RoomMate - Chaelisa

Chapter 5

Rosé nodded her head, taking the offer of Lisa's hand and following her through to the kitchen.

"How do you like your coffee?" Lisa asked.

"One sugar and a drop of milk, literally."

"Okie dokes," the dark haired said, spinning around as the kettle clicked, signifying that it was ready.

Neither girl spoke as the coffee was being prepared but once Lisa handed Rosé her cup, she aimlessly wandered into the living room, sitting down in the middle of the sofa.

"You need two seats?" Lisa asked, following behind her, quirking an eyebrow.

Rosé simply shrugged her shoulders. Frowning to herself, Lisa wanted to see the smile that she only had seen a tiny bit, so being playful, sat down on the sofa, swinging her legs onto Rosé's lap and giggling quietly. All the strawberry haired girl did was glance down at the pair of legs that were rested on her. Seeing that her attempt had failed, Lisa went to turn the TV on, instantly putting on the first episode of Friends that she could find.

Whenever a funny bit came up, Lisa would heartedly laugh and subconsciously glance at Rosé to see if she smiled but to no avail - Her face stayed stoned.

Sensing the sadness in Rosé and her cup of coffee left untouched, Lisa decided to turn the episode off and put her attention onto Rosé. She took the coffee out of her hand and tipped in down the sink then sat cross-legged on the sofa this time, facing the girl with the beautiful dark brown eyes.

"You know, I got cheated on a few months ago it was after three years and when it happened, obviously I was devastated. How have I dealt with it? I cried a lot. I didn't eat. I questioned so many times as to why I wasn't good enough for her. I tired to change myself. Then after months of torture, I realised that what I was doing to myself wasn't going to get her back. So I moved here and since I got fired from my last job as I was too distracted in my 'situation', I put out a flyer for a roommate to help me with the rent. And now I've met you and I'm going to help you through it. I still don't know you that much but I can see from your eyes that you have many stories to tell and many ambitions I'm sure you can achieve. So listen to me Rosé with the most beautiful dark eyes I have ever seen in my entire life, I want you to smile your cutest smile for me and I promise, you'll get through this."

Lisa concluded her small speech and let her eyes settle on Rosé who Lisa hadn't noticed was now clinging onto her. A bare audible 'thank you' was just about heard slipping from the blondes lip as Lisa wrapped an arm around the Unnie's waist, holding her close.

"So, are you hungry?" Lisa asked as Rosé straightened herself up. Eagerly nodding, Lisa laughed to herself as she pulled her phone out.

"Is pizza okay?" The younger girl asked.

"Yeah, pizza's good but before we order, is it okay if I go back and get some of my stuff? Irene should be out by now," Rosé asked, feeling quite sad again.

"I'll go with you if you want, it'll be easier that way," Lisa offered.

After about twenty minutes, the two girls were standing in front of Rosé's old home. "Sorry about the mess, I promise I'll be quick," Rosé babbled, opening the door and wandering in, taking a sigh of relief when she noticed that Irene's jacket wasn't hanging up. Zooming around quickly, Rosé grabbed two large holdalls and filled one with most of her clothes (She didn't have many, just a lot of black stuff.) along with some of her necessities, then quickly stuffed the other with her many notebooks, art supplies, speakers and keepsake box.
