The Rose

Chewie

Sarah

I'm so happy that it all worked out for Lizzie. I hope that he will treat her right; otherwise I will kick his ass and Lizzie knows it. I entered the café and spotted Lizzie with mr. Bossman. I waved at her and she got this huge smile on her face and ran up tp me

    - I'm so happy, you have no idea Sarah. I 'm so happy, that I can hardly breath

    - I see that. Now, go on; introduce me to your man

She takes my hand and lead me to the table. He begins to stand while Lizzie introduces him.

    - Sarah, this is...

    - David?

    - Chewie?

    - David what... What are you doing here? Your name isn't Johnson?

I can't breath. I'm getting a panicattack. Lizzie takes my hands and turn me against her

    - Sarah! Hey, look at me. Breath! Shh; 1,2,3,4 good breath; nice and easy. You're good?

I close my eyes while nodding my head

    - How do you two know eachother?

    _ Chewie?

    - Don't call me that David. Is he here?

David's looking at me nodding. Once again I'm out of breath. Lizzie takes my hands and help me one more time. David asks Lizzie how long we have known eathother.

    - About 6 years give or take I think; why?

    - How old is Theodore?

I look at David with wide eyes

    - How do you know about my son?

    - Sarah! How old?

I look at him. I can't get myself to tell him. I don't need to; I can see it in his eyes.

    - I'm an uncle?

I nod while my tears are starting to run down my cheeks. Lizzie looks confused.

    - What's going on? Sarah, look at me. Please answer me

I took at big breath and looked at Lizzie

    - David used to live next door to me. He's the reason I met... Daniel. David moved away, but as you know I was still with Him. But your name wasn't Johnson?

I said as I look at David

    - Mom remarried and we took his name

Suddenly I hear a laugh I know all to well. My whole body  tense up and the tears had a life of their own. I looked at David who just nodds. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I whisper

    - David! He doesn't know about Theodore; please! Please don't say anything?

    - He has a right to know

    - Please David!

David nods and I begin to walk away, as I could hear Daniel come closer

    - I'll be at the studio. Love you

I said to Lizzie and kissed her cheek. I almost ran out of the café. My whole body was trembling. Why was he here; of all places in the world he has to be here? I need to dance! I ran to the gym and looked around for the studio. It took me 10 seconds. As I entered the studio, I took out my phone and found my anger playlist. I put it on shuffle and Little Mix Salute came on as the first one. It was perfect.

Lizzie's POV

I was still a bit confused when Sarah left. I turned around when Danny returned.

    -So; where is this friend of yours?

    - You just missed her. She had to run

    - To bad; maybe I can catch her later. You two seem rather close rather quickly?

Without noticing David was standing right next to me, with his hands on my back while stroking it. I felt my face turning a slight red.

    - I mean finally! you have no idea how long I have had to listen to his rambling. Miss Weston this, miss Weston that. It was just on and on and...

    - DANIEL!

    - Daniel? As in "Daniel"?

I looked at David who just looked back. Finally I got myself caught up to speed. Damn my blond hair. I turned towards Daniel once again.

    - What do you mean "as in Daniel"? 

    - Nothing Danny. Just heard a lot about you.

    - Bragging about me already cuz?

    - Not even close dear cousin

    - Whatever, I'm gonna go, get some tail. See you two lovebirds later.

He said as he turned around to walk away. I turned to look at David.

    - Well I wasn't exspecting that.

David looked down at my hands as he took them and started to caress them.

    - Me neither. This doesn't interfere with "us" does it?

    - What? Why would it?

    - Because of their history

    - No it doesn't interfere with us. I wouldn't allow it! Neither will Sarah by the way

I smiled at him. He cupped my face with his hand. I closed my eyes as I lean into his hand. Before I knew it his lips were on mine. Electricity running through my body. Fireworks going of in my stomach. I took me a few seconds before I began kissing him back; but as I did a moan escaped from his lips. His hand was now on the back of my head, holding me close and I took a grip on his shirt trying to bring him closer. As I was about to grant his tongue acces, someone dropped a cup on the floor and we let go of eachother; both out of breath. He looked deep into my eyes as he was stroking me cheek.

    - That was all I've dreamed of and so much more

All I could do was smile and nod my head. David removed a tear I didn't know was falling down my cheek. 

    - Baby, why are you crying?

    - Happy tears. I promise

We smiled at eachother before he stole one more kiss.  He put his forehead against mine and whispered

    - Let me see you tonight

    - Okay

Was all I could say as I gazed into his beautiful blue eyes.  He smiled at me. I loved that smile; This time I kissed him, which made him more eager to hold me close. I smiled into the kiss and he loosened  his grip, but he didn't let go.

    - I have to go and find Sarah.

    - I will walk you to the elevator

    - Okay

He took my hand and merged our fingers. I couldn't help looking up at his face when we walked to the elevator. He looked down at me and I couldn't help my blush and became a bit embarressed. We stopped walking and he yet again began carressing my cheek.

    - You have nothing to be  embarressed about. I'm yours to look at.

Before I could answer he kissed me. And it was good! I think I'm in love
