Sam thought to check over Rose so he knocked on her door, "Rose it's Sam, are you busy, should I come later??"
Just then Rose opened the door and welcomed him in.
"I'm sorry about Rick, you know he's always like this angry young man, but his heart is very soft. He just looks angry to avoid people around him".
Let me tell you something cause I think there is some chance of you and my friend getting together. Rose listened to him attentively.
"You know I never saw my friend caring for some girl as he cares for you. He always treated them like they didn't even exist around him, and if anyone tried to woo him with her wealth and beauty, he always got so angry and scared them away with his behavior. He is always surrounded by beauty maybe because of his good looks and attractive personality, they all try to impress him and keep on trying different tactics to be close to him, but he never spared them a single glance. I think he is trying to do the same with you."
"But you rose... I feel you are different, I think he cares for you and there is something special between you two. I know he can be a little unbearable sometimes but please be patient with him and I promise he'll be the best person you would ever meet".
"Thank you, Sam. I left all hope after this morning, but now listening to you I feel a little encouraged. I know he's a good person and my instincts tell me that he too likes me, after all, there's no one born who can resist Rose Parker." She winked at Sam.
"No doubt about that," Sam said to which both of them laughed.
"So, what's next what should I do, he has been avoiding me since yesterday. That's why I came to your room this morning to talk to him" Rose said while thinking what she should do next.
"But why is he avoiding you suddenly? I mean everything was fine until morning" asked Sam.
"t...t...that I don't have any idea of that" she lied, she didn't want to tell Sam about the kiss yet not until everything was fine between her and Rick.
"Well let me make some opportunity for you to talk to him" Sam tried to be the peacemaker.
"Okay Sam, thank you so much"
She stayed in her room for the following day waiting for Sam's signal, but there was nothing.
Rose called Sam for some updates but he said that Rick was not there, he had gone for a job interview. So, she called him to meet.
Actually, Rick immersed himself in work and didn't even talk to Sam. He always does this, runs away from feelings, and surrounds himself with files and only office work.

Rose and Sam both met in the cafeteria of the hotel it was small but nice. They sat on a chair table and ordered a cappuccino for themselves.
"So what's the plan?" Sam asked Rose, excited.
"What plan, I don't have any plan you said you would plan something" Rose replied
"At least you should have planned something we must be ready with plan B if plan A fails" retorted Sam in a dejected manner.
"Hmmm, I think you are right," Rose said while making a face as if she was planning something in her mind.
Just then their drinks arrived and they both started sipping while planning in their mind.
"IDEA IDEA" Rose shouted and other people looked in their direction. Sam also got frightened and spilled the cappuccino on the table and his hand as well.
"AAAOOUUCCHHH.... You burned my hand" cried Sam in pain.
"Sorry sorry I just got excited, here let me help you" Rose started cleaning his hand and shirt from her seat bending over the table.
Rick arrived at the cafeteria just at that moment and saw Rose cleaning Sam's hand and shirt with the tissue. She was holding his hand.
Rick's blood boiled watching this but he tried to stay calm and mind his own business. He ordered some food to be packed for himself.
It took a while for his food to arrive so he stayed there while ignoring the two present there.
Unaware of Rick's presence, Rose was busy cleaning. Sam was hissing in pain so Rose got up from her seat and came near Sam.
She took his hand in her, brought her mouth close to his hand, and started blowing from her lips. The scene looked intimate and the people around them were looking at them with admiration.
"Why can't you care for me like that girl caring for her partner, lucky guy"
"Awwww they look cute together maybe, they are newlyweds"
"He looks so much in love with her, look at how he's watching her"
Rick who was holding himself from acting recklessly lost his patience after watching the scene and the people's comments added fuel to the already burning fire.
Unaware of their surroundings Rose was helping Sam as he was his friend and also cause he got hurt because of her.
They were about to get up from their seats to go to the washroom for cleaning when Rick reached to them swiftly grabbed Rose's hand and took her out forcefully.
Sam watched Rick taking Rose with him and grinned. He licked his hand which was not paining at all.
Sam already saw Rick coming inside the cafeteria, when rose was cleaning his hand, he saw him balling his hand into a fist with anger, but then he controlled himself. So Sam decided to add fuel to this fire and acted as if he was in so much pain and just as he thought Rose helped him as a friend but from the other angle it looks a little different.
Rick took Rose to the back garden of the hotel and when he didn't stop Rose tried to free her hand from him.
"Rick leave my hand you are hurting me" Listening to her voice he lost her hand and she quickly retorted.
"What the hell do you think you are doing, I was helping Sam....." Rose shouted
"Just shut up" "why were you helping him hmmm, who do you think he is to you?" he was very angry
"He is my friend, and who are you to ask me this question?"
"You grabbed my hand in front of everyone and dragged me here without my permission, who do YOU think you are to me?"
"Do I owe you something? am I your salve or what?"
"What right do you have over me?? Tell me?" Rose just lost her mind over his behavior.
She let out all the frustration that she had been suffering since yesterday.
She can't get bullied like this. She is a princess and just because she never overreacts doesn't mean she can't.
Rick grabbed her arms from either side and pulled her toward him "Even if I don't have rights over you, you can't get close to anyone other than me, YOU ARE MINE AND NO ONE CAN COME NEAR YOU"
"NO ONE"
Yes! he is like that, if something belongs to him then no one can take it away from him and here it's not just a thing, we are talking about his love then how can he just sit and watch?
He is Possessive of his people.
