Pulling Heart Strings

Chapter 19

Stephen's pov.

I was sleeping deeply when suddenly my phone rang. I yawned and reached for my phone. I looked at the screen and saw Rose. Ughh I almost forgot. I answered.

,,Good morning." She said really happy. ,,Good morning" I said back. ,,I know you're still in bed. Go take a shower and come to my apartment as soon as possible." She said commanding. ,,But I don't wanna shower right now." I said stretching my legs. ,,I don't care. Take a shower and wear something decent." She said. I was about to say something but she hung up. I groaned.

I got out of bed and took of all the clothes I had on and hoped into the shower. After a warm shower I went to my closet and looked for something. I put on a black tee and a leather jacket. I gelled my hair back and went go her Apartment.

I stood at the front door and knocked. She opened the door in an instant. ,,Come in. I just have to put on my shoes." She said. I went in and sat on the sofa. She sat in front of me and closed her shoe straps. She then looked up from her shoe and smiled. I smiled back. After a while I'm seeing her happy.

,,So. Where are we going?" I asked curiously. ,,First we'll go and get something to drink for me and breakfast for you. I know you haven't had anything. And also you need strength for this day." She said with a mischievous grin.

,,Ok I guess. I hope I'll survive." I said smiling. She giggled and said ,,I'm not that bad. Trust me." I just sighed and nodded. Her giggled lightend up my mood.

,,Ok now come on." She said taking a little bag.

Rose's pov.

We took his car and drove to a café. We arrived there and I told him to order for the both of us.

,,So I'd like to order a hot chocolate, a cappuccino and pancakes." He said.
,,Oh you remembered that I don't like coffee?" I asked. He replied laughing ,,No I just orderd what came into my head first." ,,Oh ok." I said. ,,Haha. I'm just kidding. I obviously remember." He said smiling.

After some time the food arrived.  I could see the hunger in Stephen's face. He started gulping everything down. ,,Stephen. No need to rush. You have to feel the taste." I said shaking my head. ,,But I'm really hungry and also I'm slightly hungover from yesterday. I did drink." He said drinking his cappuccino.

,,Ya but still eat slowly. I have pills. Do you wanna have?" I asked. He just shook his head and finished the food. I still drank my cacao. I finished it and stood up to pay but Stephen stopped me and said ,,No wait. Sit down. I'll pay." ,,No you have to pay the whole shopping. So just let me pay this." I said.

,,No it's ok. I'll pay. It's not like I don't have enough money. So I'm gonna pay and no buts." He said getting up. I just smiled. I felt really bad but it was not easy to change his opinion.

We went into the car and drove to a shopping mall. I was really enjoying it. Actually I already forgave him yesterday but I wanted to have a reason to go shopping. With Stephen I could do it for free and as much as I want.

Stephen's pov.

We went to the first shop. She started looking at all the clothes that she found Interessting. She took some and gave it to me to hold them. But some clothes she wanted to try on. I sat on a chair.

She tried on this beautiful blue dress.
,,And? How does it look?" She said looking at herself in the mirror. ,,I think it's pretty." I said smiling. ,,Ya but let me try the others." She said getting into the dressing cabinet.

She changed into the next dress. A tight green white striped one. And damn she looked hot in that. ,,How does this one look?" She asked looking at herself. ,,I'd say it looks really good on you." I said. ,,Really? But my belly has this bumb down there." She said touching that little bumb.  I actually found it really cute. And I preferred it much more than having nothing at all. ,,Rose. That's what makes it cute. Take it." I said smiling at her. ,,Do you really think that? But nah let me try on the last outfit that I chose." She said again going into the dressing cabinet. I shook my head and laughed. So adorable she is.

This time she had a jeans and a tight shirt. ,,What about this one?" She asked consciously looking at herself. ,,God Rose. This one also looks good." I said slightly annoyed. 
,,Really? I look so fat in it." She asked turning her head to me. ,,No you don't." I said trying to assure her. She went in and changed into her normal outfit holding the three dresses she chose in her hand.

,,So which one should I take? So I'm obviously not gonna take the jeans it's too plain. So tell me which dress. The blue one or the green?" She asked me. ,,I think you should take.." I was about to say when she interrupted me saying ,,The blue one makes me look like a little child and the green one makes me look so fat. But I still like both of them. Oh god help me. Which one should I take?" She said really frustrated. I just rolled my eyes and was slightly pissed. But couldn't suppress a laughter.

,,Ok if you like both then take both."  I said. ,,But won't it be expensive? We still have two shops to go." She asked concerned. ,,Nah money is not the problem. Take them." I said smiling at her.

Her face lightend up. ,,Thanks a lot Stephen." She said and wrapped her arms around me. That's so sweet. She was so happy like a little child. I wrapped my arms around her and enjoyed the moment.
