If Death Wasn’t A Thing | COMPLETED

Chapter eleven

Melody caressed Rose’s cheek as she stared at the sleeping beauty before her in awe. Her perfectly shaped face seeming peaceful, the glorious morning sun beams radiating on her tanned natural skin, just so prefect.

As she was too caught up in her little world the door swung open revealing a light brown haired Asian woman a bit shorter then the two girls. Her hair tied in a pony tail as her bangs hanged lose, “Good morning my beautiful daughter!” the woman shouted causing Melody to almost fall out of the bed.

“mẹ?” she mumbled rubbing her eyes in hopes it was a dream. But the clicking sound her heels made against the tiled floor sounded otherwise. Turning back to Rose she lightly smiled at the half awake girl throwing the blanket over her head.

“In the fresh darling.” the woman chimed with excitement. “Who is in there with you?” she questioned walking around the bed to the other side.

“No one.” Melody spoke pulling the blanket out of her mother’s hand.

“tôi già không mù.” the woman hissed before pulling the blanket out of Melody’s hand exposing the green eyes girl. Studying the shocked girl the older Asian woman tilted her head to the side before poking her cheek to confirm she was real.

“mẹ!!” Melody whined glaring at her.

“What? cô ấy đẹp and real.” cupping her chin between her two fingers she turned Rose’s head to side, left and right. Lowering herself towards the girl the woman stared into her eyes for a few seconds, standing up straight she gave her daughter an okay sign with her left hand. “sự lựa chọn tốt!” she said with a bright smile.

Shaking her head Melody tore her gaze back to her girlfriend, confusion filled her face mostly because she didn’t understand a single word the woman said. Taking her attention back to her mother she snapped her fingers, “She can’t understand us you know.” Melody said.

Nodding her head the Asian woman understood, “Teach her our language before you get married then.” she stated with a hopeful smile on her face.

“mẹ! chúng tôi sẽ không kết hôn, chúng tôi chỉ mới bắt đầu hẹn hò!” Melody partly shouted narrowing her eyes at the woman.

“tôi nhìn thấy tương lai.” her mother gave her toothy grin wiggling her eyebrows.

“mẹ...” Melody sighed running her fingers through her hair, her mother was just too much but she had grown to like it sometimes.

Ignoring her daughter Mrs. Tune sat on the bed on Rose’s side. “Hello I am her mother, Mrs. Jennie Tune.” the woman introduced stretching out her hand towards the girl.

Rose blinked a couple of times before taking her hand in hers, giving her a firm handshake. “Rose LaSalle.” she spoke withdrawing her hand and sat up straight giving the woman more place to seat.

“French?”

“Oui!” she spoke with a wide smile.

“Enchanté de faire votre connaissance.”

Rose a bit taken back furrowed her eyebrows staring at the woman. “je ne savais pas que tu pouvais parler français.” she said smiling.

The woman giggled nodding her head, “vous seriez surpris du nombre de langues que je parle.” taking a glimpse at her confused daughter Mrs. Tune rolled her eyes. “contrairement à ma fille ici ne veut jamais apprendre.” she mumbled earning a laugh from Rose.

Crossing her arms Melody complained. “I don’t know what you just said but I know you telling her lies mom.” she stated staring between the two women who simply giggled.

“elle va apprendre.” Rose assured the woman placing her hand in Melody’s that earned a huge smile from the mother.

“And you will too.” she spoke smiling. “How old are you Rose.” she questioned changing the topic of the conversation.

“Twenty five.”

Humming the woman crossed her arms like her daughter before. “You know I gave birth to Melody when I was twenty two. Three years over the age but I know Melody will keep up.” the woman explained with a wink thrown at Rose, the girl blushed and looked at her hands.

“Mom please, No!” Melody opposed.

“Her dad was twenty seven. So get her pregnant when she is twenty and you’ll be twenty seven as well, prefect age don’t you say Rose?” Mrs. Tune spoke on despite her daughter’s protest.

“We just started dating mom!” Melody hissed speaking for her embarrassed girlfriend.

“So?”

“You’re already planning for grandchildren two years from now!”

Smiling at her daughter devilishly she chuckled, “Or this year, it is possible.”

Shaking her head Melody gave up there was no point in arguing with her mother, her gaze fell on the ceiling. “Where is bố?” she asked her mother.

Standing up from the bed she walked around the bed towards the door. “I forgot about him he is in the hallway waiting. You have a tendancy of sleeping naked, I was trying to make sure.” she explained.

Rose snapped her head in her direction and she didn’t deny it, all she did was shrug and avoid eye contact.

“em yêu đi vào cô gái nhỏ của chúng ta có bạn gái!” Mrs. Tune shouted loud enough for the whole hospital to hear.

Shaking her head Melody sighed in frustration, “mẹ!”

It hadn’t taken long before the door open. Popping his head into the room he stared at Melody, “Girlfriend?” her father asked, his wife beside him hummed and pointed towards Rose.

“Hello.” Rose whispered as she waved at the father.

“Hello!” Mr. Tune greeted her with enthusiasm. Fully entering the room he walked up to his wife where his height shadowed hers. Crossing his arms he leaned close to her ear, “cô ấy đẹp.” he mumbled.

Nodding her head agreeing with her husband she studied the girl again, the girl was truly beautiful no lie there.

Taking his attention back on his daughter’s girlfriend the dark haired Asian man smiled at Rose. “Nice to meet you. When is the wedding?” he asked.

“bố!” Melody shouted narrowing her eyes at him.

Turning to his daughter he sighed. “bạn cần kết hôn với cô ấy trước khi ai đó đánh cắp cô ấy.” the man urged encouraging her while the wife agreed with head nods and a smile.

Jumping out of bed Rose wore her shoes the family still having a stare down. Once her shoes were on she stood and cleared her throat, “It was nice meeting you all but I have to go get ready for work.” she apologized making her way to the door.

“What do you do?” Mrs. Tune asked before she could leave.

“I’m a doctor here.”

“So young and smart.” the Asian woman mumbled studying Rose as her arms were crossed in front of her chest, she definitely was a good match. Blushing Rose stared at her feet before mouthing a small thank you.

“cưới cô ấy!” Mr. Tune shouted looking at his daughter.

“bố!” Melody whined. Jumping out of bed she rushed over to Rose stopping her before she could leave the girl kissed her on the lips.

It was short lived but it was enough to make the girl smile. “Have a nice day.” Melody mumbled taking a step back.

“See you later?” Rose asked smiling at Melody, with a nod Melody agreed. Smiling even wider Rose wanted to kiss her again but her parents eyes on them made her freeze, she almost forgot they were watching with smiles.

Placing a peck on her cheek instead Rose smiled before walking out the door.

“And again, Marry her!” her father and mother said once again as his daughter turned to them. Melody giggled shaking her head she fully closed the door. “bố! mẹ!” she whined walking to her bed, it was going to be a long day for her.
