BLACK ROSE

WHO ARE YOU?

In Williams apartment, Rose could not help but stare, it was just so beautiful, everything in the house spelt wealth, it was even bigger than David's House

"Wow Williams, who are you? You leave here? I mean this is so big" Rose was filled with awe of the aesthetic designs, and lilies and roses everywhere.

"wow, do you like lilies?"

"yes, they are my second favourite, roses will always be the first, come I'll answer in the room" he took her to his room upstairs, his room was another world on its own, the bed was big enough for 10 people to sleep comfortably, his room was pure masculine but it was beautiful, Rose sat on the big bed and rubbed the smooth sheets

"Wow, now I am scared" Rose said honestly, Williams came to seat beside her

"Why?" He asked a little bit concerned

"What if I don't meet the standard? I was never raised in a big house before or by rich parents, I have never tasted luxury this, this is just too much for me to comprehend, how did I end up falling in love with you?" She asked herself

"Listen Rose, you are more than enough for me and you don't have any standard to meet all you need to do is to trust me rose"

Rose sighed and cuddled close to Williams

"Okay, I trust you."

"Good girl, here we go. I was born in Europe in England, my parents were both wealthy, with my dad as the CEO and my mum as the managing director, the company went very high. I am also expected to follow their foot steps Rose, I I'm expected to marry for the sake of the family company, that way the company will continue to grow higher, then Tracy was betrothed to me but I just didn't like her she has huge anger issues and she too bossy and proud she's so not my type then I've been looking for ways to break up with her I have been looking for ways so I won't get into trouble with my dad, then one lucky Friday I caught Tracy with another guy in the act, I decided to let her be and kept her secret as long as she break up with me then I broke up with her the next day thinking I was free from her clutches and that of my father's. But cunning Tracy found away to get me into trouble and save her name, she told my father that I was the one who cheated and decided to break up with her and so my father punished me severely, my father have been looking for ways to bring us back together so the two companies can become one. Tracy got angry and decided to hurt you, but it backfired, because now the whole family knows who cheated on who, my father most especially was mortified, he was disappointed in Tracy, he didn't like what she did to you, he cut all ties with Tracy and her family. So here we are now"

"Why does he not like what Tracy and Dave did? That's what he wanted"

"Trust me my dad is not a fan of the media, when it comes to tarnishing his image, if the case and the students protest weren't dealt with early it would Call the world's attention, a competitive company wouldn't want that. He expected Tracy to know that "

"Is it only that day that your father beat you?"

"No, he does anytime I come in as second in position in class. Initially I wanted to be a footballer but my dad made me study business"

"Wow, I have always wanted to be a medical doctor or a social worker, but here i am studying music, it is my way" Rose smiled

"I have met you before Rose, before you knew me,"

He looked at her to see her expression, all he saw was her squinting and eye at him with disbelief

"In the dream? Because I have never been to England or London, before or Europe"

Williams laughed softly, "yeah, but I have been to Nigeria before, I have been to Ilorin before" he smiled, Rose laughed not because she doubted him but because of his pronunciation

"Ilorin? Really I don't believe you, okay if you said you have seen me before, tell me where you saw me?"

"In Beside a dam, I saw you in one of the bushes, I went for a nature stroll one day, and i saw you shouting at a tree, kicking the tree and hurting yourself and the tree. Then another day I saw you singing, I turned going to that place a hobby, one day i will see you sitting on tree alone probably thinking, or taking mango" he smiled to himself

"And you never approached me why?" She asked feeling embarrassed, those times she thought she was alone in the mini forest, she calls it.

"Well back then I thought our union will bring you harm, I mean you were just a young simple lady, and my world is different from your world i didn't want to bring you into my world at that age" he smiled

"But I am in your world now" she said still looking at him

"Hmm, you are no longer very young, but! You are still very innocent, like a flower a Rose flower, my Rossie, my little flower " he said gently caressing her cheeks,

"I am not a flower Willy, I am just a flower's name sake" she frowned playfully

"You are my flower" he bent over to her face level and placed a soft kiss on her lips, he planned to pull away immediately before he looses control, but he decided to test his Rose, he expected Rose to push him away, but she didn't, then his inner man took over and grabbed her lips with his mouth, he kissed her passionately, then he slid his tongue into her mouth, Rose flinched at the new feeling and sensations that crept into her bones. Williams felt her flinch then he pulled away, he looked at her face and found her trying to catch her breath, his face was filled with desire. He decided to tease his little flower

"Hmm your lips taste as sweet as a Rose" he imagined going into her, then he snapped out of his naughty thoughts when she hit his chest and hid her face away like a shy Rose flower.

"Erm I.. I .. don't want to miss curfew, I have to go now" she said and stood up with her bag pack, Williams grabbed her hands and pulled her into his embrace, then he kissed her forehead

"Stay with me Rose, I promise to always be here with you", Rose pulled away from his embrace and kissed his lips, a tear dropped from a side of her face, she didn't know why she was crying, she wished all was okay

"Rose this is not the right time. So it's better you go now before my inner man looses control and devour you. You are my little innocent flower after all I can't allow my inner man to devour you, you might not like it" he teased, Rose eyes widened, she felt her cheeks burn, she hit his chest hard and wiped her tear.

"You jerk, I have to go inner man And outer man" she teased.

"I'll drop you off, I can't risk my little innocent flower falling into the hands of wild beasts that crushes flowers" he frowned and carried her like a princess

"I can walk and stop calling me little flower" Rose flushed

" I know I just like to treat you like this because you are my Queen" She covered her face and thanked her stars that she wasn't a white lady or a fair black girls else He would have seen her face all flushed and red. Her face could hide it, but her cheek burned and her lips became slightly deep pink. Williams carried her all the way to the car

"Williams, this is too much" she said

He put her in the car and drove off.

Isabella changed her room from Tracy's room to another room, she has new roommates but she doesn't really mingle with them she preferred walking alone and thinking. She laid down on her bed thinking of what she had told Greg earlier, she closed her eyes in embarrassment, "what excuse will I say to him when next I see him now?" She asked herself. "Why on earth did I, argh" she rolled on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a while, little by little she fell into the world of confused dream, she thought she was Alice in the confused land
