12 As a brother

" ELENA " Lia screamed she was very angry that little girl had messed up all her plans but she will not give up.

" Yes, madam. " Elena came running from the kitchen when she heard her.

Turning around Lia walked towards the old woman " Listen to me carefully Elena tell your daughter to leave my son alone. "

Elena looked at the woman Infront of her confused was she talking about Rosa " Excuse me madam are you talking about Rosa? "

" Yes. I'm talking about her that brat she is trying to seduce my son but I won't let her have him. " after saying this words Lia turned around to leave but she stopped and turned around " I want her to be out of her by the end of the summer " then she left

Rosa heard everything when she saw that Lia was leaving she ran back to the house she felt ashamed of herself her behaviour led to her mother being put in an embarrassing situation like this.

She had always looked at Leo as the big brother that she never had he was always kind and thoughtful towards her it seemed that she forgot herself no matter how Leo was good to her they will never be equal, whipping her tears she went to the bathroom to wash her face she didn't want her mother to worry about her she has enough problems already.

....

after the dinner Rosa helped her mother by washing the dishes Elena noticed that her daughter was silent most of the time that was unusual for Rosa she would always laugh and joke around as they eat dinner.

" Rosa come here. " her mother said

taking a sit Infront of her mother Rosa knew what her mother will speak to her about.

" Rosa my dear I want to speak to you about something but I don't want you to understand me wrong. " Elena placed her hand on Rosa's hand, Rosa nodded her head.

taking a deep breath Elena started to speak " Rosa do you have any feelings for Leonardo? I mean it's normal in this age to have feelings towards meals. " pausing for a while she smiled at her daughter gently " you know you can tell anything about as always I will listen to you without any judgements. "

" Mom Leo is like a brother to me. " Rosa spoke to see her mother smile.

" I know my dear but what I meant is.. " Rosa interrupted her mother she was feeling extremely shy to talk with her mother about these things.

" Mom I understand what you mean and I assure you that is nothing of this sort. "

" You are a good girl Rose. " her mother said she kissed the top of her head.

....

Rosa was drying her hair when her cell phone started to vibrate looking at the caller ID she immediately answered: " why haven't you been answering my calls " a deep voice was heard from the other side of the line.

Biting her lower lip Rosa felt a bit guilty she avoided answering his calls today because of what she had heard " I didn't hear it " she replied

" Rosa did something happened after I left. " he knew her for a long time now he could tell when she is laying.

" Nothing happened Leo you worry too much " she tried to not make him suspect anything if he would know it will be a big problem.

" Alright. did you eat your dinner? " Rosa had a habit of skipping meals which always led her to have a stomachs

Leo heard her laugh before she answered " Yes. what about you? "

" I did. I have to go now. good night Rosa " Leo said before he hangs up.
