Song for this chapter is "Work From Home" by Fifth Harmony because I know some of the readers love them.

Gisele POV:

Things between Rose and I have been a little awkward. Every time I see her I keep picturing her with a crown on her head. I don't know how to act around her, which is completely silly because we've been friends for so long. I didn't ask her any questions after she told me that she will be the Queen of France, but I had so many.

I had missed school for three days, but now my mom was forcing me to go. Rose stayed with me for the first two until her mom forced her to go.

Also, I still have the stitches in and won't be able to get them removed until next week. The only good part about that is that I can't participate in P.E. until the stitches are removed. For now I had my hair pulled into a bun to cover them up.

Rose is going to be picking me up to take me to school today. She has been a little cautious around me. I think she is afraid that I'll start to treat her differently. I was still getting used to the fact that the girl I've been in love with for years is going to be a queen. However, I was not going to let this get between us. She's still the same Rose that I first fell in love with.

Today, I decided to make Rose a strawberry smoothie since she loves those. Hopefully, she would understand I was okay with the whole ordeal. I admit, when I first found out, I was a complete bitch. I can't imagine how scared Rose was to tell me and I feel terrible for how I reacted.

Nico had gotten me a Buche de Noel from a small French bakery, per my request, and also a single red rose. He thought he was getting it for me, but it was actually for Rose. She loves Buche de Noels, and I thought the getting her a single rose would be a nice touch.

The door bell rang and I sprang up out of the kitchen chair to go answer it.

There stood Rose. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail and she had no makeup on. She wore a simple T-shirt and jeans, but my God, she was beautiful.

"Hi," she said.

"Hi," I replied, cheerfully.

I looked around to make sure my mom wasn't around. She wasn't she so I quickly gave Rose a kiss on her cheek causing her cheeks to turn a light shade of pink.

I grab her hand and pulled her inside. We didn't have much time before school, but I wanted to give her the surprise.

"I have a surprise for you," I said as I led her to the kitchen.

"What is it?"

I decided to show her rather than tell. We reached the kitchen where I had her drink, food, and rose set out on the kitchen counter. Her face lit up once she saw it. She looked at me and immediately latched her lips onto mine. I guess she liked the surprise.

"Thank you so much," she said against my lips.

I smiled at her.

"We better get going," I suggested. She nodded her head. I grabbed my backpack and her rose while she grabbed her smoothie and food.

I gave her the rose once we got into the car.

"Rose for my rose."

She giggled at my cheesy line, "you're so fucking cute, Giselle."

Now it was my turn for my cheeks to heat up. I grabbed her hand that wasn't on the wheel and intertwined our fingers.

"Rose, I want you to know that I'm really okay with all of this."
