Love written in the stars

Rose, she was as beautiful as the rose flower itself, her eyes were big, brown and beautiful, they glowed as I stared. " what do you see when you look into my eyes?" she asked " I see your love" I replied, pulling her into a tight embrace. Rose was the girl I wanted to spend eternity with, to love and to cherish. " You promise to forever be by my side, through sickness or in pain?" she asked, pulling away. she trotted to the swing and sat down. The breeze was sweet. I plucked a white rose and tucked it on her long blonde hair. " You're gorgeous" I said. She smiled, her smile was sweet and charming. Suddenly her smile faded and she frowned. " why do you love me? why?" she sobbed " I can't even give you a child and still you're loving and caring Dave... " she added, wiping the tears with the back of her hands. I knew it was not her fault that she couldn't give me a child. It was just normal. we were still young and could continue with the therapy but the fact that she was always guilty. she felt like it was her responsibility to bring forth a child into this world. I frowned and lifted her chin. " you're not at fault my love. cheer up okay?" she smiled, I wiped the traces of tears on her eyes and embraced her " everything will be alright okay... " she nodded, I felt reassured. The ice cream man strode towards us, carrying two ice creams. " good day Sir " he greeted " good day " I said " it's hot out here today " " it is indeed" he chuckled and gave us the ice cream. " I love vanilla ice cream " Rose bumbled. " you do?" the ice cream man clapped. " I knew it!" I bought forth a few notes from my pocket and gave him, he declined. " someone paid for the ice cream, she said you were adorable together and that's why she bought you the ice cream." I gazed at him, he didn't seem like an evil man at all. " I insist" "okay" he picked the notes and walked away. we watched him until he disappeared. " so kind of her" Rose licked the ice cream. " it's good " " very delicious " Suddenly, Rose fell to the ground. she couldn't breathe, she was having an allergic reaction. The ice cream had strawberries in it. " help call the ambulance... help" I screamed, shouting for help. **** Rose awoke, she was weak and fragile. she stared at the ceiling. " what happened?" " the ice cream it..." " it's okay" she smiled. " I am okay now just look at me" I excused myself and walked out of the ward. Sonia was standing, gazing at me. " Dave why are you still here?" she asked, rolling her eyes. " Excuse me?" " Mum has been worrying about you and you're just here with that witch?" " don't you ever speak such malicious words again" Sonia was my adopted sister, she was just stressed and always made my life difficult. I wondered what she wanted from my life. " I am calling my mum right now" she added. I looked up " go ahead and call her" I stormed inside the ward. Rose was sleeping soundly. I smiled. " Dave" she woke up " no Rose, you need to sleep okay?" she nodded like a little obedient child. Sonia dashed inside with my mother, she was furious and she quickly strode towards the rose and pulled her long hair. Rose woke up, surprised. " Mrs Smith" tears cascaded down her cheeks. I felt my heart ache. " you gold digger. how much money do you want to leave my son alone? how much " " enough " I shouted " mum it's enough " I stormed out of the ward. The streets were crowded. I walked through the crowd. **** Rose pov The day was amazing, I wiped the counter and tables. The sweet aroma of the sweet delicacies cooked by Chef Dale filled the entire room. The room was decorated with red balloons and red flowers. " happy valentine Rose" Chef Dale greeted and handed me a muffin, I picked up and took a huge bite " mhh delicious. happy valentine day Dad." I said. Dave had decided to cut all ties with his wealthy family and live with me as husband and wife. I couldn't help but feel sad when I saw him suffer, he wasn't used to my lifestyle. he wasn't used to a hard life of poverty. My dad and I worked at our small cafeteria and my mum worked in the industry. she loved it there. Dave entered the cafeteria and I giggled. he had eye bags and he resembled a lazy panda. " didn't you sleep at night?" " yup" of course he was used to a comfortable bed, fluffy pillows and blankets... how would he be comfortable in such a small bed with a thin mattress. " Go back home Dave" I joked to him, knowing he wouldn't allow it. " what's for breakfast?" " scrambled eggs" I said and served him. Sonia walked inside the cafeteria. my heart skipped a beat, every time this woman comes in, she carries problems with her. Dave jolted up and faced her. " what do you want?" he shouted " I want to tell you this good news Dave, I found my family and they are really rich." " so what am I supposed to do?" " Divorce Rose and Marry me Dave." I clenched my hands into tight fists. she was interested in Dave romantically. Now I understand why she was always against our love. " I love you Dave" " Leave me alone" Dave yelled " I don't love you" he added. Sonia wiped her tears and ran away. **** Daves pov " Come on Rose" The water was so cold but I enjoyed swimming. Rose watched me from the river bank, giggling. " join me" she smiled and waved. " nope I'll just bask in the sun " " what a contrast the sun is scorching and yet the water is still as cold as ice." " Dave, a kid raised with a silver spoon in his mouth..." she teased.
