Rose's P.O.V
I sip on my herbal tea as I look across the forest from his balcony, I see the ocean at far distant. the ocean reminds me of the new personality of his.. calm, quiet and hiding so many secrets..
he has been so different for the last few weeks. so calm, no sign of anger! it felt like he was a total different person. he wasn't angry or mad for even once, he didn't even shout at me. he wasn't acting bipolar, he wasn't terrifying rather he was very sweet and kind to me. I can count the moments when he didn't smile when I was around.. most of all, he didn't force me for anything.. but this quietness and goodness of his slowly started to horrify me. is it the calmness before the storm? or is it just him?!
I sign in confusion
but I know, somewhere deep inside of him, there's a beast hiding. a deadly beast whose anger fumes more than a volcano and destroys everything, who won't even think twice before killing himself let alone the others!
I tremble as I remember the way he beat himself weeks ago, no normal person can do that! he is mentally unstable and I'm sure of it. a maniac lies within him.
I put the cup on the railing and cross my hands over my chest in order to resist the coldness of the air and starts thinking again..
Sometimes he shows his drastic love to me and sometimes he beat me up like an animal and the next moment cries his heart out! and sometimes he hurt himself like he has no soul inside.. I just don't get it what kind of love is this! and I just don't understand this person! The way his mind works, how he sees things through! I just don't get it!
I gasp and close my eyes as I listen to footsteps approaching toward me
"Hi princess" I flinch as he hugs me from behind, spreading his aura in the air.. Fresh and woody..
"Hi" I whisper
He hides his face among my hair and nuzzles
"Did I left my princess for too long?" He questioned in a naughty way
I remain silent holding on to the railing tightly
Then he turns me around and in a blink, his lips are locked with mine as his hands travel around my waist, clenching my butt making me gasp loudly
He smiles in my lips and pulls away. Then he kisses both of my eyes and murmurs..
"You just don't have any idea how madly I'm in love with you" his green orbs are straight looking at mine.. So sharp, so intense
I lower my eyes. For some unknown reason, I just can't stare at his eyes for long.. But he grabs my chin and lifts up my face..
"Look at me" he commands and I slowly look him in the eye
"Please Rose, don't look away from me. It feels like you're ignoring me" he requested
I just nod my head in reply
"That's my girl.." And he kisses me all over my face along my neck and collar bone making me throw back my head
"I love it when you arch back for me" he said pulling away and I feel my cheeks becoming red
"We have a ball to attend this evening. I've already got you a dress. I hope you would like it" he says with a smile
Then He holds my hand and walks me inside the room. he claps twice and a lady walks in along a mannequin
My eyes get stuck to the royal blue mermaid dress. The top of the dress is rose-patterned with blue crystals, perhaps diamonds, the long flares are glittering, the sheer silk open cape sleeves are almost touching the floor.. It's so beautiful..his choice is really good. I've always loved whatever he'd ever picked for me.. Luckily his choice is not as weird as he is..
"The dress is amazing" I mutter uncontrollably
He smiles at my reaction
"I'm glad you liked it" he says happily not moving his eyes from me while I'm busy checking out the dress
I've been sitting in front of the big mirror of his room for the last one and a half hour. Some makeup artists and hairstylists are doing my makeover for the ball. They've curled my hair and tied in a messy bun. They let two small sections of my hair flowing each side of my face. They did my nails, fixed my dress.. They did my makeup as minimum as could but gave my eyes a bold look. And now, the final touch, a rosy nude lipstick is being put on..
"Mam, you are ready for the night" one of them said when they are finally done and I slowly stand on my feet..
"Is it really me?" I question myself looking at the mirror. They totally made me a different person.
Just then, a knock appears on the door and without my allowance, a person steps in and it can be none other than him..
Everyone leaves the room immediately and I feel him striding toward me.. I smell his intense manly perfume when he stands beside me, turns me to him and my heart skipped a beat!
Oh God he is looking so handsome!!..
I feel blushed! but I don't know why...I lower my eyes immediately
but right away, I frown..
Did I really just thought that!!
I gulp and dare to look at him once again, he is standing right before me with all his greek god features
Yes..I think I did
but this time, I couldn't take away my eyes from him. Both of our eyes stick on each other..
"Rose you're looking......" And he goes silent, so do I
He is wearing a blue Stuart Hughes suit, white shirt in with Stefano Ricci tie.. Rolex in hand, Tom Ford Custom in feet. Hair gelled back in an unmannered way and the sides are cropped.. His beard is trimmed perfectly in the medium stubble and his jawline is looking sharper than ever. His eyes are glowing so as his face.. In a word, Wow!
God knows for how long we kept staring at each other until he cleared his throat and uncomfortably scratching his forehead
"I forgot why I came here" he said cluelessly
"Oh God! Wait, let me think" he closes his eyes shrinking his brows together still scratching his forehead when I'm trying my best not to laugh loudly
This guy is really weird
"Oh, I got it.. I've bought you these" he says expending a box, opening it and I see a beautiful pair of ruby earring
"Here, let me help you" he leans to me and I start to feel drunk when his manly aroma tickles in my nose.. Why it has to be so good!!
I exhale in nervousness
He puts the earring on and kisses right below my ear sending butterflies underneath my skin
Then he walks to his closet and comes out with a shoebox. Then he makes me sit on the bed and get on his knees. He opens the box, takes the heels out and checks the parts where I can get hurt. Then I remember how mad he went when I wore heels for the first time and hurt myself. Worst things happened that night.
"I promise this won't hurt you. I customized them myself" he said before placing my feet on his thigh and slowly putting the shoes on.
"Try to walk in these and let me know if you feel any discomfort or pain" he says in concern
he expends his hand and I put mine on his, without any hesitation, and he closes them together making sure not to hurt me.. then I slowly stand on my feet and take a few steps.. I ensure him that they are perfectly comfortable but he keeps questioning again and again
"Calm down.. They are really comfortable" I said in a bit annoyance
"I just don't wanna have a chance of putting you in pain" he says cupping my face, looking into my eyes, making me drown into them where I find no lie..
He is really confusing, straight over my thinking! He is the one, who has always put me in pain and now he is saying he doesn't wanna have a chance of putting me in pain!! Which part of him should I believe!!
Then my inner heart screams making me surprised..
"Maybe Love would change him.. If I avoid whatever he hates, maybe he won't be mad anymore. Maybe love is the key to his good side.. He deserves a chance of being loved"
And then I realize, I just never tried to be good with him..
Then, my lips curve into a smile and his eyes open wide.. Maybe because he never saw me smiling at him before.. And he couldn't help without smiling back at me.. And it started to feel like an eternity..
