98 Chapter 11: Winter, Childhood to Remember (1/2)
Rose relaxed on a cold beach with Jean in the outside Terrance. Both where quiet
”Allison?”
”Call me Rose, Jean,” she said sadly ”It's painful to be called Allison again.”
”I'm sorry” he nodded ”Rose…” the overly nervous Jean was sweetly cute.
”Jean, do you remember our first Concert together.”
”Yeah, he piano prodigy Jean and the angelic violinist Alli…Rose pair up for a concert.”
”I remember saying to you that, your piano playing was like watching a struggling fish.”
”yeah, and your violin playing had no depth.”
”Do you still play the piano.”
”Sometimes when I'm free, but not much after my father's business expanded. Not that I don't like working with him.”
”I take that you stopped hating your father.”
Jean nodded ”Rose your mother…”
”I know, to be honest, I've been thinking about going back.” She looked deeply at Jean ”Jean I have a 6-month-old baby.”
”…?!” Jean face was paled ”You mean you…”
”Yes, I gave birth to a baby boy named Winter” Jean was speechless ”That's why my mother is using you to convince me to come back” She leaned back into the bench ”She knows full well, that where I am at isn't safe.”
”I see” Jean leaned back too
Rose smiled ”I knew you'd understand”
”What do you plan to do?”
”I promised to stay with the family for four months, and now I have three months left. Once, it's over I plan to go back with my mother to England. My Father left a horse ranch they're before he died, So I'll settle and raise Winter there.”
”…..” Jean was quiet as it seemed like his handsome face wanted to say more. Rose closed her eyes as she stood up
”I'm still someone who supposed to be working so I'll get back to work.” Rose walked as she smiled and waved at Jean who responded with the same expression before getting lost into deep thought.
He remembered the day she got kidnapped, as they were both together. If it hadn't been for Rose, he would have been the one kidnapped. His today is possible, because of her.
”Miss Rose,” Rose turned around to see that it was June calling out to her ”Can we have a short chat?” he questioned
”I'd love to, But I have to work.”
”There are other people…”
”Sorry, But I insist on working,” Rose said politely before walking away with June following her. This didn't go unnoticed by Anthony or June's girlfriend
”You guys are coming in together?” his girlfriend
”We meet outside,” June said
”We only ran in each other ma'am,” Rose said, ”I have to get back to work now” Rose once again walked away quickly
When the party was over, Anna, Anise, and Anthony had left without Rose. She signed and smiled as she gave them a surprise that she had gotten home before them when they left first.
Winter has always been a good boy. Rose had laid next to her chubby-cheeked son that just stared at her with a smile. Rose had kept an Eye on Miss Meggs who was the babysitter, who seemed to be showing symptoms of pregnancy.
”How long have you and your lover been together?” Rose questioned suddenly brought the women's attention.
”Three… No, two years” Rose poked Winter's cheek ”Are you going to tell him?”
