Chapter Nine

After passing through all the security scans Lucy got to the final door and knocked on it

minutes later the door was opened to reveal Rose who had a faint smile on her lips

looking at Rose's state Lucy almost wailed it was like her heart was being pierced

she couldn't believe that Rose who was always strong and bold could turn this

she made a mental note to make sure the one responsible pays for this

" Good morning Lucy how are doing, " Rose asked smiling faintly

seeing Rose still so much for her even in this state Lucy almost burst out in tears but she managed to stop herself

" This isn't the right thing to do now," she thought

" morning Rose how are you holding up," Lucy asked

" am alive I guess " Rose replied non gallantly

hearing Rose's response Lucy felt a heart-wrenching pain not able to control herself anymore she pulled Rose into a tight hug

Rose was startled at first but she realized that Lucy was trying to make her feel better

after about God knows how long they finally separated

" let's go in," Rose said leading Lucy in

" coffee or tea," she asked

" coffee but I will make them myself I am not a visitor after all. what will you have " Lucy asked

" same " Rose replied

" Alright I'll be right back " Lucy replied

on getting to the kitchen Lucy was amazed at the neatness of the kitchen even though this was not her first time here she felt like the kitchen has not been used for about a week or so

then it occurred to her Rose might have not been cooking or eating something healthy since the Breakup

she decided to make bacon and eggs for Rose as she had eaten already

about fifteen to twenty minutes later

Lucy served the food on the dining table and perked to look at Rose she then found the latter staring into space

she felt bad seeing Rose like this it breaks her heart

Lucy went and hugged her from behind

" it's gonna be alright " she comforted

Rose looked up at Lucy and nodded

when they got to the dining table

Rose was surprised to see that Lucy made her favorite food

she muttered a thank you before eating the food slowly

Lucy who was sipping coffee beside Rose suddenly thought of something

" Why don't we go out today," she said

Rose wanted to reject her but seeing Lucy's eyes lighten up she couldn't so she just nodded at Lucy

who smiled wildly.
