Rose's POV

A new day without my dad just feel strange, even though we don't spend much time together, I still know he loves me and would do anything to make me happy even if it meant quiting his job.

Brandon later came to join me on the bed, he slept on the couch at first, presently he is spooning me, i feel content, I wonder if he is aware of what his touch does to me. I can now hear him murmuring please don't leave me. I had to wake him. Brandon wake up, are you okay you were saying not to leave you. Are you OK. He said, yeah am good, he brushed it off and asked how was my night.I answered i was fine and I asked him about his he replied Best night of my life. I knew he was just trying to cheer me up, I just rolled my eyes this is not the first time we are spending the night together. I stood up to go do my business in the bathroom, by the time I came out, he looked refreshed. He probably used the guest bathroom he looked smoking hot, his hair was still dripping water, I quickly controlled myself from drooling. His face had a smirk plastered on it.

He gave me one his short and tee shirt to wear, I motioned for him to turn around and I wore the cloth, I was swimming in his cloth but it will have to do for now.

We were set to go downstairs for breakfast, when I got to the stairs I was welcomed with the smell of bacon, I love bacon.

When we arrived at the dinning table his dad was already set for work and was having his breakfast, Good morning Mr Rivers, Good morning to you too Rose, have told you severally to call me Mike, o just smiled. He told me my mum left early this morning, I nodded.

Brad and I settled to eat he had coffee with his food I had orange juice. In between our food Mike bade Brad and I goodbye. So when we finished eating we went to the sitting room and sat on the sofa, I asked him when he was going back to college, he said after my dad's funeral, I smiled and nodded. I was not attending school until Monday and today is just Thursday. So maybe later today I will gather the courage to go meet my mother at home because I still feel guilty of my father's death I told him. He rubbed his palm on my arm as a sign of affection and to assure me he is with me, so i lean into him and welcome his Warmth.

Brad's POV

On the the day of Evans funeral a lot of people were present, except my mum. I stood with Rose all through the process and consoled her, she is a pretty strong lady, she didnt cry at all, even her mother too. She definitely took after her mother, we left after everyone expressed their condolence, she told me to give her a few minutes to talk to her dad. By the time she came back she smiled at me and held my hand. When we got to her house I followed her to her room and decided to tell her about my mum and dad divorce. When I told her everything she adviced me to try to talk to my mum and hear her side of the story. I just nodded, she made me promise I'd think about it and I promised.
