Chapter 34 - 33 (1/2)

Ermanno woke up this morning with Rose placing small kisses on his neck, face and chest.

He opened his eyes and saw Rose smiling and looking at him.

”Good morning, hubby,” said Rose.

Ermanno looked at the time and saw it was 6:00 am.

”I don't get up this early. I wake up at 8.” Said Ermanno.

”That late?” Asked Rose.

”I am a night owl. Always have been. I work late and wake up late. Next time you disturb me in the morning I'll thow you out of the balcony. Now get out of my bed. And next time don't wake me up. I don't want to see you first thing in the morning” said Ermanno turning around and closing his eyes.

Rose slowly got out of bed and stood there looking at Ermanno. She then turned away and walked out of the bedroom and down the stairs and to the balcony.

She sat at the very end of the balcony and shed tears.

'i thought he liked me. So Sofia was always right. I do look ugly after wearing glasses.' though Rose and removed her glasses and looked at them.

She then wiped her tears and decided to wear contacts and dress up to look pretty.

She spent the morning choosing a dress. She changed four times and finally decided on a black sweater and very short mid-thigh skirt. And paired it with white sneakers. She did a little makeup and smiled satisfied with her look.

She went to the kitchen and was making breakfast when she heard Ermanno scream her name. She ran up to the room and saw a very angry Ermanno looking around the closet with Rose's clothes on the centre table that she tried earlier.

He looked at Rose and with anger said ”what the f.u.c.k Rose? What is this? Do you even know how to live in civilization? What are you an animal? I like everything organised and this mess is making me very angry. I will not withstand this. Next time do not make this kind of a mess. Understand?”

Rose nodded and said ”yes. Sorry”

Ermanno went to his side of the closet and removed a shirt and jeans and blazer and wore it and walked out of the closet while Rose organised her clothes.

She followed him down and saw Ermanno looking at the kitchen and saw a mess again.

He looked at Rose again and said ”this is disgusting. You are disgusting Rose. If you can't look good at least keep your surroundings good and clean. Learn to be a clean little girl or else you will be punished.”

Rose nodded and squeaked a sorry and went to the stove and served him breakfast.

While he ate she cleaned the kitchen holding back her tears.

Ermanno was having his tea when Rose went close to him and sat beside him hoping he would notice that she was wearing makeup and was not wearing glasses.

Ermanno ignored her and finished his tea watching his phone.

He got up from his chair and walked to the main area and picked his laptop and put it in his handbag and looked at Rose. Of course, he saw that she had tried to look her best this morning. And damn she looked cute as a button, he thought but of course, he was not going to tell her that.

”Goodbye,” said Ermanno and walked towards the entrance.

Rose went behind him and called his name and asked ”w-when will you be back?”
