CHAPTER 91

Rose felt someone caress her cheek and she smiled because she knew it was Ermanno.

She opened her eyes and saw Ermanno.

"Hi hubby," said Rose.

"How are you?" Asked Ermanno.

"I am good. Had a little fever in the morning. But now I am good" said Rose and took his cheek in her hand and said "hubby you are warm. Come lay down with me for a while"

Ermanno smiled and agreed. 

He removed his shoes, suit jacket, ties and rolled up his sleeves and laid down beside her. 

She snuggled in Ermanno's chest and said "I love you"

"No you don't," said Ermanno. 

"Yes, I do. I just hate you too" said Rose.

Ermanno laughed and said "I want to take you out"

"Okay. Can we eat pizza out?" Asked Rose.

"Okay," said Ermanno.

"See. I love you when you do things like that. Do more things like that and I will always love you" said Rose.

"I'll not stop till you completely love me and I will continue doing that for the rest of my life," said Ermanno.

"What if life is too short?" Asked Rose.

"I'll take any life with you. Short or long" said Ermanno and kissed her forehead.

Rose had a sad smiled and a tear in her eye.

Ermanno helped Rose dress and Rose was making it very difficult for him to resist her but Ermanno controlled himself.

"Is it because I have a balloon of a stomach?" Asked Rose.

"Trust me, you look even sexier carrying my baby," said Ermanno helping her wear her jacket.

"Will you love it?" Asked Rose.

"Of course," said Ermanno.

"How?" Smirked Rose.

"Don't?" said Ermanno with a serious expression and took her hand in his and walked out of the room.

They both came down and saw Elisio and Sabrina talking well.... more like romancing.

"Aww.. cute," said Rose and Elisio and Sabrina looked at them.

"We are going out," said Ermanno.

Rose looked at Elisio and said "my hubby is taking me out for pizza. See, he is nice and listens to me, unlike you"

"Of course he will listen to you. You are his problem, not mine." Said Elisio.

Rose gasped and said "so you are calling mummy your problem. Mummy, he is calling you a problem"

Sabrina looked at Elisio and smiled and said "he can never say that. I trust him"

Elisio smiled back and said, "my perfect wife" then looked at Rose and said "you should learn a little from my Fiore. I know no one can be as perfect as her but you could learn a few tips"

Rose narrowed her eyes at Elisio and he, as usual, smirked back.

Sabrina and Ermanno looked at eachother and had a questionable look at their face.

Ermanno took Rose to the psychiatrist and Rose was beyond angry.

"You lied to me," said Rose.

"I didn't. I will take you out for pizza. But after you have a session with the doctor." Said Ermanno.

"I have a session? Aren't you coming in?" Asked Rose.

"No. Today it's just you" said Ermanno and then the doctor called Rose in.

Rose looked at Ermanno and said "you better get me extra pizza as a midnight snack too" 

Ermanno nodded and Rose went in.

Ermanno had informed the doctor about what Sabrina had said before coming in.

"Mrs Devonte, I was expecting you sooner but you stopped coming. I thought we made progress after our last session." Said the doctor.

"Yes, we did. You were so good that I am totally fine now." Said Rose.

"Really? But I heard you made a big scene some time back" said the doctor.

"It was nothing big. Let's just say it was lifting a big rock off my chest. Now that it's gone I am all good" said Rose.

"Hmm. That's good. How about we talk about your sister then? Tell me. Do you think of her often?" asked the doctor.

"Ya. Maybe. Sometimes"  said Rose.

"Which of the three is it?" Asked the doctor.

"She is my sister, of course, I think of her at times," said Rose.

"Do you talk to her?" Asked the doctor.

Rose looked at him with a hard expression and said "what the fuck do you want to ask? What do you want to prove?" 

"Nothing. It's a simple yes or no question" said the doctor calmly.

"No. I don't talk to my dead sister" said Rose with full anger and suddenly held her stomach and said "damn. Even my baby is pissed off of you" 

"Are you alright Mrs Devonte?" asked the doctor.

"Why don't you find out? Oh ya. I forgot, you are not a real doctor" said Rose and screamed Ermanno's name.

Ermanno badged in and asked what the problem was.

"Hubby it hurts. Take me to a real doctor" said Rose in discomfort.

"Ok," said Ermanno and held Rose and took her to his cars.

As soon as the car started Rose started laughing and said: "how did you like my acting, hubby?" 

"Rose," said Ermanno and parked the car in the sideway and said "Rose you were supposed to have a proper session with him. Why are you not cooperating?"

"I don't want to talk to a stranger about what I feel. Now don't be angry and ruin our date night" said Rose.

"Date? You think this is a date?" Asked Ermanno.

"Yes. It's not?" Asked Rose.

"Baby have you not gone on a date before?" Asked Ermanno.

"Y-yes.. m-many.. " said Rose looking away.

"Rose" called Ermanno.

"Vinci would take me to dates. But it was more in his apartment. We used to eat pizza, ice-cream and maybe see a movie. And we would mostly be making out or we would touch eachother or I would give him a..  "started Rose but Ermanno stoped her to not complete the sentence.

Ermanno sat in his car for a minute and then looked at Rose and said "Rose. Today let's have pizza and go back home. But soon I would like to take you on a real date" said Ermanno.

"What will happen on that date?" Asked Rose.

Ermanno smiled and said "you will know"

They both had dinner and as promised Ermanno got her extra as a midnight snack.
