Chapter 10

Vincent's P.O.V

I stood up from my chair ready to follow her, too excited to be near her.

" You must remember your promise, Vince" Mario reminded me, looking at me which I nodded my head to him in response and went to finally meet rose.

As I proceed towards the changing room, my heart started to beat hard in my chest, which is actually so surprising as it has never happened before. Never in my life I felt nervous just because of a girl. So, there's one thing for sure, that rose is changing me.

Pulling the door opened, the first thing that greeted my eyes was rose sitting at the corner of the room with her head in her arms, she looks fragile and innocent which makes me want to protect her from every danger, but despite of the door creaking she didn't even looked up to see who's now with her in the room, it seems like she's too caught up with her own thoughts.

Finally looking up, she saw me at the door, and as soon as I saw those hazel eyes of her, I felt myself getting drawn into them. I walked up to her and took my time drinking in her beauty, still finding it surreal that there will come a day that I will feel like this towards a girl.

Too occupied looking at the beauty in front of me, she suddenly looked down, probably feeling embarrassed, which made me frown, my queen should never feel embarrassed by her own beauty, I said to myself. Lifting her chin up so that I can look at her face more properly, when she suddenly stepped back creating a distance between us which started to piss me.

"Wh..what do you w..want?" She questioned slightly stammering.

What the hell... she's scared and I didn't even do anything yet... I wonder to myself.

Having no control over my mouth, "You, I want you rose," I let out, like a complete idiot.

Good job, Vince you just scared her even more, and you're wondering why she's scared of you when you didn't even do anything, can't you freaking see?, no normal person would come out of blue and say that they want a complete stranger to be their wife. My inner self says.

"Excuse me?" She spoke seconds after digesting my words.

"You can't just come here and say that you want me, cause lemme tell you, it won't happen or maybe it will happen but in your dreams." She blurted out, making my eyes widened a little bit, and it looked like little rose didn't like to be controlled. I said to myself, amused at her outburst.

A sigh escaped from my lips, as for the first time, Vincent De Costello was failing to think of what to do.

Making my mind up, I grabbed her arm gently and strode out of the room. I have to be quick, I say to myself as she followed me out of the room towards the parking lot.

Reaching my car, I halted causing her to bump at my back "ouchh" she said in her little voice, making me turn to look at her to see her rubbing her forehead.

I quickly apologized clearly feeling guilty and she quickly replied saying it's fine.

"Get in" I said to her, which she of course refused, as I expected it. So after a while, I finally made her agree and went to one of my restaurants.

Reaching the restaurant, while we went inside to discuss what I want from her, I didn't fail to notice how rose was feeling uncomfortable.

After ordering our food, she wasted no time to ask what I want from her and I, of course went directly to the point as I no longer can wait for her to be my wife.

Upon hearing my words, her eyes went wide as if she couldn't believe what I just said.

This is going to be a long talk, I mumbled to myself, mentally and preparing myself.

Now it's time to lie to her and as much as I wanted our relationship to be built on honesty, there's nothing that I can do, my hands are both tied up and if I really want her to be safe and alive, I have to take the risk even if it means her hating me at the end.
