Chapter Six

Lucy looked at Rose and noticed the latter was in a daze she then parted her

just then Rose snapped out of her daze to find Lucy giving her a questioning look

" what," she asked

" what were you thinking so deeply about uh " Lucy asked

" hmmm nothing important just some random thoughts " Rose replied

" hmmm " Lucy answered not believing her

" hmmm that reminds me how is your relationship with your boyfriend going, " Lucy asked curiously as Rose hardly talks about herself

" fine and why do you ask " Rose asked

" just curious you know " Lucy replied

" oh "

" oh ??? what's that about what's going on, " Lucy asked

" Hmm nothing new --- so when is Adam coming home, " Rose asked trying to change the subject

" Stop it Rose don't change the topic please tell me what's going on I care about you please tell me what's wrong alright " Lucy pleaded

" I ... " before Rose could utter a word she burst into tears seeing this Lucy was confused she always knew Rose as a strong person she never saw her this vulnerable so she was curious to know what happened. helplessly she pulled Rose into a tight hug and tried to calm her down

" shhh it's okay tell me what happened alright " Lucy whispered

after Rose had calmed down she spoke up

" I.... love him, Lucy I do," Rose said

" oh so it's about her boyfriend I wonder what's wrong this time, " Lucy thought

Lucy knew about Rose's boyfriend Tony Evans as Rose once told her that they were dating

she thought that the both of them were in love but who knows

" Alright calm down can you please tell me what exactly happened " Lucy whispered

" he told me that his first love and ex Lily bright had arrived back in the country and she's trying to get him back and..... " she stuttered

" and what, " Rose asked

" and he said he's considering going back to her " she replied

" what how dare he you guys have been together for a year now doesn't he even care about your feelings " Lucy ranted

" What happened next "

" he said he has not made up his mind yet and will inform me of his decision soonest," Rose said

" oh that's it doesn't be sad okay," Lucy said trying to lighten Rose's mood

just then Lucy phone rang glancing at the caller's ID she smiled

picking up she heard Adam's voice at the other end

" Hey sweetie I am home where are you," he asked

" darling do not worry I am with Rose and we are just nearby I will be back home soon " Lucy assured

"All Alright then don't be late I love you," Adam said

" yeah I won't love you more " Lucy replied

" okay see ya," Adam said and hung up

raising her head Lucy stared at Rose and saw that the latter was in a daze with a faint smile on her lips

she wondered what she was thinking and as she was not a mind reader she could only sigh

after about five minutes Rose came out of her daze and found Lucy staring at her curiously

" what " she bellowed

" what were you thinking, " Lucy asked

" hmmm random thoughts why are you still here '' Rose asked

" staying with you '' Lucy replied casually

" are you crazy don't tell me you want to keep Adam waiting," she asked.

" I need to make sure you are okay first before I head home right " Lucy replied

" Alright I am okay let's go," Rose said

" let's go " Lucy replied as they headed to their car.
