Rosé enjoyed the feeling of being held in Lisa's arms. She felt safe. She didn't even know what made her tear up again, maybe it was the song, that was how she normally felt when she was forced to go along with Irene to one of her many parties. She always felt like an outsider, so why did she feel safe here with Lisa? Right person right time? Or maybe, just maybe, Rosé thought, her joke about being soulmates was true. Too distracted by her thoughts, Rosé hadn't realised that Lisa had again led her to her bedroom and was laying her back down, smoothing her hair out and pulling a blanket back over her.

"Listen, I don't know how much you've slept lately or eaten lately, but the bags under your eyes indicates that you haven't slept much which is understandable. Your head is also heating up a bit so I want you to sleep and rest, pretty girl. I need to go to the job centre. I don't want to leave you but it's compulsory for me to go if I want to get a job anytime soon," Lisa continued, gently stroking the blonde hair.

"I'll stop by the shop again and pick you up some soup and crackers, and I promise I'll be back as soon as I can. I'll even run and I never run," Rosé felt hot tears stinging her eyes again.

"Hey, don't cry, please don't cry," Lisa begged, rubbing circles on the shivering girls arm while still stroking her hair.

"I'm sorry," Rosé sniffed, "I just, I don't know why you're being so good to me, I've literally only known you for a couple of days but here you are looking after me and taking care of me,"

"It's because we're soulmates," Lisa whispered, fixing the pillow that Rosé's head was resting on, making shivers run down Rosé's back at the closeness of Lisa's breath on the back of her head.

"Thank you," Rosé mumbled, beads of sweat forming on her forehead and an overwhelming sense of dizziness over coming her body.

"I'll be back soon, I'll leave a glass of water on your cabinet," The girl with the warm brown eyes said, walking out of the room and returning with a glass of water. "I'll see you in a bit," And after planting a kiss on Rosé's temple, Lisa quickly left the apartment to run her errands and make it back as soon as she could to aid to the beauty she had become so fond of.

Within minutes of Lisa leaving, Rosé allowed the peaceful state of sleep to succumb her, while Lisa rushed around outside.

"Name?" The receptionist asked, glancing up from her magazine to Lisa.

"Eehh, Lalisa Manoban," She replied quickly.

"Fill in this form including your e-mail, mobile number, address and all of the required boxes below then hand it back in once you've finished," The receptionist said, mono tone.

Scribbling away, Lisa grabbed a pen and began filling in all of the required boxes, not giving herself a chance to proof read everything before practically chucking the paper at the receptionist and jogging down the street to the closest store she could find.
