Be Our Rose

Gay

The next day.

One of the guys asked for help with something, and I had to leave Rose with Fernando in the office, at the mafia, for a few minutes.

When I came back, I saw Lucas laying his head on Rose's shoulder and made sobbing sounds while Fernando sat on the table, seemingly irritated.

I can't say I was surprised, I just wasn't expecting him to be there.

"What happened here?"

I asked, entering the room.

"You tell me!"

Rose said angrily while Fernando didn't even look at me.

What did I do this time.

I even turned my head to see if there was someone behind me, but no, it was just me.

I looked at Rose, confused, not knowing what she was talking about or what I should say.

I tried jogging my memory, but nothing came out.

Rose gave me the look of disgust and rolled her eyes at me.

Lucas then took his head off Rose's shoulder and looked at me.

He had a black eye, bruises all over his face, and a busted lip.

I looked back at Rose.

"What happened?"

I asked again.

"YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, LEONARDO, HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO HIM!!"

She shouted at me.

What? I never did this, I don't even hit the guys that hard when I'm fighting at the boxing ring.

"You think I did this?"

All I got was a glare for her.

"Rose, I didn't do this,"

I said, and she just looked away in disgrace, I turned back at Lucas, and he smirked at me.

"You little..."

I was interrupted by Rose.

"The worst thing here is that you won't even own up to it,"

She spoke in a low tone.

"WHY WOULD I OWN UP TO SOMETHING I DIDN'T DO!!"

I stormed out of the room.

She didn't believe me.
None of them did not even my own brother.

And Lucas.. He was smirking at me the whole time.

He was framing me. He had planned all of this.

I don't know what he did to his face, but I know that he is trying to make Rose be against me. For her to hate me.

THAT SNAKE.

Rose had her arms wrapped around him, comforting him while his forcing out tears, crocodile tears.

I drove back home after a few minutes, knowing that Rose didn't want to see me face.

I went to my room, closed the door behind me, and lay on the bed.

I was deep in thought, thinking about revenge.

What if I actually do beat up that brat, and Rose can actually be angry at me for something I did do.

I might actually do that, but no.

I don't want Rose to be even more upset at me.

What did I even do to this guy?

Why is he doing this to me?

I don't even know the guy.

Maybe he wants Rose, that I will never allow, but that also doesn't make sense cause his not attacking Fernando. What's this guy's goal?

After 1 hour, someone walked into the room.

It was Rose, and by this time, I was sitting on the bed drinking my third bottle of alcohol which was like half empty or half full.

I was trying to get drunk, I didn't want to be sober.

"Leonardo."

She called softly and took a seat next to me.

"What do you want?"

"Why did you leave without informing me or Fernando? I was worried about you,"

She said.

"You didn't even believe me when I said I didn't hurt your friend, and now you were worried about me?"

I drank some of my alcohol while Rose stared at me, in shock.

I didn't dare look at her. Her eyes would make me warm up to her and basically forget all the things I wanted to say.

"And I didn't think you nor Fernando wanted to see my face,"

I added and was about to take another sip of my alcohol when she grabbed my hand and lowered it.

I side eyed her, feeling very frustrated and saw tears start to form in her eyes.

I didn't mean to make her cry, I just...

Well It doesn't matter what I wanted to do.

I turned, fully looking at her, and I wiped away one the tear which had rolled down to her cheek with my hand.

"Please, don't cry, I'm sorry."

I apologized and hugged her.

"I love you,"

She said, and I kissed her cheek.
She no longer shed tears after that.

Thank goodness.

Fernando would have killed me if Rose started crying, and now my cupcake is happy.

I laid on the bed again and let Rose lay her head on my chest.

"I knew that crying would work,"

She said all of a sudden.

I looked at her and found her already looking up at me.

"So you were not crying?"

"No, I had to fake cry. Do you know how hard it was to let a tear come out? "

I chuckled.

"You almost got me killed by Fernando,"

"I wouldn't let that happen to my sweet marshmallow,"

"Who said I was sweet? You haven't even tasted me yet. "

I grinned at her.

"I already know that you will be sweet,"

She flirted back, biting her lip.

I was about to reply when Fernando entered the room.

"So you guys are cuddling without me,"

He said dramatically.

"Yes, now leave."

"My own brother doesn't want me to spend time with my girlfriend. This is just sad."

He said and again very dramatically.

"Stop being dramatic and come over over here."

Rose said, stretching out her arms to Fernando, and he went on the other side, next to her.

Rose wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer to her.

"Are you happy now?"

She asked.

"Yes, I am."

He replied.

Well, at least I had Rose to myself for a few minutes. That's better than not having her at all.
