Chapter 15: Rosies Deal (1/2)

'What's with this vibe? It's so awkward', Rex thought.

After staring at each other longer than normal, Rosie said, ”What are you standing around for, just sit down”

Rex snapped back to reality and nodded his head, they both sit on the corner of the restaurant where nobody near enough to hear their conversations or so they thought,

Adhara is following Rex like a real stalker, 'Is he meeting with this Rosie girl? Who is she? Well, I'm just suspicious about yesterday night event', She thought trying to lie to herself about the reason for following Rex.

Rosie and Rex sit in front of each other, they both still have this awkward silence covering them.

Rosie looks like she wanted to say something but it's stuck on her throat, so she looks down avoiding Rex's gaze.

Rex on the other hand is thinking about how should he ask the question, should he be direct or not.

Finding that they will get nowhere if Rex waits for Rosie to say something, Rex decided to ease the mood a bit.

”What class are you in? I thought you are in high school”, Rex asks trying to ease up the mood.

Hearing this, Rosie rebutted, ”I'm in class 1-B. What? You're saying I look like a minor?”, Rosie felt wrong when hearing Rex said that.

”I mean, you look young that's all”, Replied Rex while smiling wryly.

After saying that, the mood changes back into an awkward mood.

Rex observed Rosie who is still looking down, he noticed that Rosie is playing with her hands and Rex can see her fingers are trembling.

”Are you afraid of me?”, asks Rex.

Hearing this, Rosie didn't reply and stay silent.

Rex smiles and said, ”Don't worry it's a slip up of mine, It won't happen again”, Rex said. He looks at the menu trying to figure out what to order.

Rosie glance at Rex who is flipping the menu, 'Looking at him now, I still can't believe that he can turn into such monster'

After ordering, Rex asks, ”So, did you say anything to your parents? I'm sure I make quite a mark on your training room”, Rex asks half-jokingly.

Rosie lifts her head up and replied, ”I just said that there's a stray werewolf that breaks into the house, thankfully when they got there it left”, her voice was getting lower as she says this.

Hearing this Rex sigh in relief, ”You lie expecting me to give something in return, so what is it?”, If Rosie didn't want anything from him, she definitely wouldn't help to hide his identity.

”I want something from you but you have to answer my question first”, Rosie said while looking at Rex with a serious expression.

Rex with his confused look nodded his head,

”Are you on the side of Humanity? or Supernatural?”, Rosie asks while still looking at Rex with anticipation, her voice is whispering afraid of being heard.

Before Rex can answer she continues, ”If you are on the side of Humanity I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend but if you are on the side of Supernatural, I want you to kill me...”

Hearing this, Rex is splashed by a tide of confusion, His eyes widened in surprise.

'What the heck? Why is the request so in contrast with each other? Why did she want me to pretend to be her boyfriend or asking me to kill her? What's her reason?', Rex thought in his head.

Another silence covers both of them,

Rex is maintaining eye contact while thinking, after a minute or so, he has a guess of the reasoning behind Rosie.

”So your family wants you to be safe so they're going to marry you to the son of a high-ranking family with an asshole personality, You want to be with me to avoid that if I'm a good guy, but want me to end your life if I'm not a good guy. Am I close?”, Rex guess trying to uncover the reasoning behind Rosie.

Rosie smiles, ”Close, My family wants to marry me to a high-ranking family to raise our family ranks after knowing that I have average talent. I can only get into rank four Awakened in my lifetime.”, she explains with a smile on her face.

If someone looks at her smile, they might think that it is a sad smile but not Rex.

”But you knew my answer right”, Rex said after he came to a realization.

In the night when Rex transforms into a werewolf, Rex remembers that Rosie and he fight but he can't control his body. But when he's about to give the final blow, Rex tries so hard to control his body and jumped out of the window.

Rosie's smiles turn into a smirk, ”Yes, that night you jumped out of the window instead of finishing me”

Rex massages his forehead with a frown, ”Basically you're making me a scapegoat?”

Rosie nodded her head with giving Rex her most beautiful smile.

Looking at this Rex sigh, ”How do you know that I will comply with your terms?”

”Oh, My mouth suddenly felt itchy. Should I tell dad how monstrous you are that night? That would be problematic don't you think so?”, Rosie said with an evil smile plastered on her lips.

”You..!”, Rex points at Rosie but exhales a heavy breath to ease his anger, he then continues, ”You know that I can get rid of you right?”
