JUST ONE KISS
" Dio, it's late " I huffed to myself reminding my incapable of sleep self that it's already 2:00 am and I'll have to wake up at 4:00 am . I kept moving , sleeping on my back then after a while turning on my stomach then again on my back ,I wanna sleep I really want to but here is the problem
(God)
I can't!
And I know I should because i need to make it on time to the airport, my flight is 6 in the morning so i have to be there before 6 am.
I know the reason in to why I can't sleep , it's the thought that I'm going to be tomorrow far away from home like in a totally different state, away from mum, Emma and Max, sonia too.
That's mainly why sleep can't find a way into my eyes .
I can't imagine life without Emma and max they are everything I've got beside mother and Sonia and it's hard okay ! it is hard to imagine going to another collage without them , we have been raised together since i was born , from LA days then they came here to fresno with us , the jackmens were always there with us .
we attended the same school together then emma and me followed max to his collage to be with him and that had always been the plan for them but not me i had other dreams .
Dreams that I had to follow .
I know that being in a new collage without them around me will be hard , it'll be so good damn hard .
No one will be there to comfort me and no partner in crime and definitely no Emma and max . My poor Emma will be so sad Because max will leave her alone this year . this is his last year .
This is all a thing and mum is another thing!
We've never been apart, like never!
It's hard for me to go that far away from her even if we're not always on the same page but still she is my mother and father at ones she's the only parent i've got .
Holly mosses!
Why am I having negative thoughts now ?
" Pullman here I'm coming ....alone " I whispered to myself,
But hey there is always a bright side . I'm going to my dream university
WSU .
I'm awaking my dream to life making them reality , Daddy's dream ! And for that i have to be happy and I actually am happy , this is my daddy's home town and i'll go there just for dad to make him proud , I'll be some day a famous writer just like what he used to call me
His famous author Rosie Hunter .
shia labeouf shouted in the back of my head
don't let your dreams be dreams ! just do it ..
so I have to act that way beside I'm going to be far away from mother's orders which means no more taking orders , I finally got the chance to decide things myself on my way and not just obey mother without even talking about it
Beside hey I will certainly meet people there , anyone and everyone maybe THE ONE why not? I've been waiting so long ..... too long for the right person since my last kiss... well my last kiss was my first one actually.
Trust me that the feeling of giving your first kiss to a guy that you no nothing about or even seen before literally equal losing your v card to a complete stranger ...okay not that much but still ,I mean for Christ sake !! I didn't even see his face .
From the day that mystery dude kissed me at year 10 I've been dying to know him , he is a very good kisser like the best
listen to that , as if you know a good kisser from a bad one , i thought smirking at myself
what could i possibly do ?, it was dark and i had to go back to school to bring my phone cause i forgot it in the chemistry lab , the school halls were dark and out of the blue i found his lips on mine , i can never forget how his lips tasted all i remember is how his ocean blue eyes where staring at my wide ones during the kiss that lasted ten seconds a maximum , it was like his eyes could see through me , after this kiss I thought that when I would reach the age of 17 or 18 that I would be dating hot boys like normal girls do but mother had to be involved as always.
' YOU NEED TO FREAKING SLEEP ROSABELLA , my inner goodness screamed in my ears giving me a wake up call .
.............
"Hey kid wake up sweaty...... it's me "a familiar voice of a man said
"sweety......rosy hey rosy please wake up "that man said begging I can't see his face but I know I heard this voice somehow before. I am standing in my room the old one we used to live in back at LA before my father's death...wait is that .. Him ... dad
"hey daddy I'm here "I said quietly. But he doesn't look he is talking to the eight year old me sleeping on the old bed. but i'm here i wanna touch my father , to feel his touch He shook the kid out of the bed lightly and hugged her really tight , I felt it like if he was hugging me the 19 year old me.
" I love you Rosy no matter what happened or going to happen I do love you rosy please remember that "daddy said. Sorrow and fear filling his eyes yet bravery took it's place there ,like he does not fear what's coming. He tugged the child's hair behind her ear ...my ear.
a shocked look took all over his face when he heard the front door of our house crash open and men voices filling the place and I could sense their foot steps coming toward us
"you bastardo hunter come down or we'll come up, where is she ? answer me john "one of the men said with a thick accent, Italian accent
"fine john we are going to fucking come up and drag your fucking ass down here cazzo and beat the shit out of you . where is the figlio di cagna, " another man said.
(Son of a bitch)
"I.......I love you kiddo I do .....all of it was just ....I am sorry rosabella I really am " he said , his eyes filled with tears .
"dad look at me , I am right behind you" my desperate soul kept saying those words . he forced the eight years old girl to hide under the table of her bedroom and placed a good bye kiss on her forehead and let go of her hand , the girl was too scared to fight back her father , the fear of losing her only father filling her eyes ." hey dad I'm here look at me .... don't go father .. I need you " I kept on screaming and repeating my words but he never turned around I am feeling the pressure starts to build in my stomach and i'm feeling breathless and tied . I wanna cry badly it's like if I'm out of breath . i wanna scream out load so that he could hear me out .....but nothing is coming out .
I felt some one hitting my face with something soft
"rose ...rose , rose , rosabella, c'mon rosabella"i hard Emma's voice call my name as soon as I did , my eyes fly opening wide with seat covering my forehead and my heart is beating out of my chest .
God why can't I be like normal girls .
When are they gonna stop .
I looked around me and it's Emma and max on top of me . of course as usual papa max pushed the cover off of me exposing my body in a pink soft PJ's . Shivers roll down my spine when I felt the cold air sneaking to my bones
Ugh !! I just hate how they wake me up .
"wake up you sleepy head "max said with his soft smile , his smile always bright my day
"what time is it ?" I asked them lazily feeling a bit dizzy from the exhausting memory I had in my sleep .
" it's only 5:15" Emma answered calmly playing with her nail like it's the most normal thing in the world right this moment
oh god ! no way that is happening to me and today out of all days to wake up late I mean I never wake up late or didn't hear my alarm going off .
So basically I only have 45 minutes to get ready . Wait no actually I have only 30 minutes because I have to be at least 5:45 there ...oh goodness
"what ! " i half screamed , I jumped out of bed heading to my bathroom very quickly and angry I mean how could they leave me sleeping this whole time
"Gatcha" I heard Emma says giggling and it made me stop in my track and roll my eyes
I fall every time in the same freaking trap
"Omg you should've seen your face .... Hilarious , it's still 4:05 I was just kidding "she said still laughing .
"of course you are " I said laughing at myself too .

Asher respond, "You knew I loved her, but you stole Lyra from me. She was my true mate, but she refused to marry me because you were soon to be the Alpha King! She never loved you.
