Rick and Rose realized that everyone around them started to head inside. The weather started getting colder and soon they were the only ones present there. Sam approached them and asked them to come inside and they both agreed.
"Bye, see ya soon," said Rose to Rick feeling a little bit shy.
"Bye, Good night, take care" replied Rick.
"Good night" "Good night Sam"
"Night Rose"
[feel next the movement with simple piano music in the background]
Rose started to go inside and Rick kept on standing there watching her small figure going inside.
She turned around and saw Rick still standing there so she signaled him to come inside to which he assured her with his eyes that he was coming and she went inside. He saw her figure disappear. The movement felt like everything was happening in slow motion like time was running slowly around them. To add to the beauty of this movement he saw snow slowly falling on the ground. Nature was blessing them in its magical way.
"Sir what are you going to do now, tomorrow is our flight, we have to leave early in the morning" Sam informed Rick about their plan.
Rick decided to leave when he was trying to stay away from Rose. He thought of going back to his country and in that way, he will forget her and can stop those feelings from growing deeper, but now the story has taken a different turn, what he should do now? Rick was in deep thought, even if he stayed, was he ready for this chapter of life?
Does he love her or it's just an infatuation? A lot was going on in his mind.
While Rick was in dilemma Rose on the other hand was still at cloud nine. She was standing at her window and watching the view outside. She couldn't stop blushing and felt butterflies dancing in her stomach. Rose was in her dreamland in which Rick was her soulmate.
All those moments between her and Rick kept on displaying in her mind from that night when he first held her hand to those awkward movements between them to that kiss, that bathroom scene, and those words kept on ringing in her mind like she was watching a beautiful movie where Rose and Rick are the main characters of the movie.
She felt amazed by what she was feeling right now because all these feelings were foreign to her. In her whole life never had she felt something like this just by thinking about anyone.
She went to bed all smiling and blushing and dozed off to sleep.
.................
"Sir, are we going tomorrow, I think we should at least inform Miss Rose about our departure," said Sam
"No, we will stay for some more days," Rick said
"But sir young master said he needs you there, he sounded very stressed and Mr. Brown was also angry this morning"
"Don't worry about them, I'll handle it. Any update on Michael's"
"Yes sir, Adam said he warned them and they also agreed to stop their business but he is doubting them, something is fishy over there"
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
"Ask Adam to keep a knee eye on them if he sees something unusual, he knows what to do."
"Sure sir"
They went to their room after discussing some more matters.
The morning was as usual for others but it felt special to the two people, Rose and Rick.
Rose quickly got up and ran to freshen up. She dressed quickly, applied some lip balm, and added a little blush on her cheeks. She doesn't usually need anything nor likes to put on makeup but today it was different.
"God! I didn't even have any makeup with me, what type of girl I am?" Rose said feeling frustrated
She avoided wearing a cap today and decided to open her long black hair adding more beauty to her looks. Words can't describe her beauty.
Rick got up early and made a phone call to someone.
"Ray wake up it's already 6 in the morning," Rick said in his strict voice
"Hey bro you are not here so stop with your torturing early in the morning" he sounded sleepy
"Wake up Ray I need to tell you that I'm not coming today I'll be staying here for a little bit longer" Rick tried to be as polite as he can
"WWAAAAHHTTTT" "No you can't stay there anymore, please bro come back I can't survive in this world working all day" he pleaded
"You should start spending most of your time in the office, it would be better for your future, when I won't be there all the responsibilities will be on your shoulders" Rick tried to convince him
"We will see that in the future but right now my head will explode with that work that Father assigns me, I can't handle everything at this early age, please have some mercy on me"
"Well you are 25 and I don't think it's that early for you, you should start focusing on your career, you have everyone around you to help you"
While Rick was on the phone he heard a knock on the door, thinking that it must be Sam he opened the door and to his surprise it was Rose, standing outside his room looking as stunning as anyone can imagine but a little bit hesitant at the same time.
"Good morning, how are you Rick, I was going to have breakfast would you like to join?" asked Rose in her sweet voice
"Wait is there a girl with you" Asked Ray from the other side of the call, Rick snapped back to reality.
"F****" Rick cursed himself, now Ray would not leave him alone until he told him whose voice was that.
He quickly shut the door leaving Rose at the door, it was not intentional but what to say. The deed is done. He facepalmed.
"Ah... no, no that was room service" Rick tried to explain to Ray
"Well! I didn't know room service asks you to join them for breakfast" Ray said mockingly
"What are you talking about? She was here to inform me about the buffet" Rick tried to convince him
"Bro just cut the crap, I'm your little brother for god's sake" Ray was not going to buy anything, not especially when he heard Rose's voice clearly.
"Well now that you seem quite free to meddle in my life, let me call Dad and ask him to give you some big projects to work on" Rick knew his brother very well and how to shut his mouth and exactly what he thought had happened.
"Oh.. ooh bro why are you getting angry, I was just joking, stay as long as you want I won't call you back here." "I'll also tell Dad that you are busy there and will not be coming back anytime soon. No need to call him." Ray tried to butter his brother
"Well! Thank you for your service" Rick disconnected the call.
Rose left after watching that he was busy on a call with someone so she got to the cafeteria herself, Sam was also nowhere to be seen.
She sat on one of the seats and ordered some breakfast.
Soon Rick entered there and saw her sitting at a table alone, he felt guilty for his action and approached her.
"May I ?" he asked for her permission to sit next to her
"Sure," Rose asked him to sit.
"Sorry for my earlier action, I was on an important call, and because of that I got distracted," Rick said guilt evident in his voice.
"It's okay" she gave him a small smile.
Rick was in confusion is she mad at me or not?
"Are you not mad at me?" he asked
"What? No, I'm not. You were on a phone call so I just thought you needed some space so I came here by myself" Rose said feeling surprised. She felt a bit shy thinking about their movement from yesterday's event.
"I also wanted to have breakfast with you but you came earlier than I expected," Rick said
"Yeah, I got up early today, that's why". "shall we start?" she signaled him to start eating whatever she ordered.
"Yeah," Rick ordered more food for both of them and started eating.
"Where is Sam by the way?" Rose asked
"He's gone out for some work" replied Rick
"Oh.. okay" Rose replied and they completed their breakfast in silence, glancing at each other.
