Chapter 2

Dean pov

One reason I was looking for a place in LA to open a business was that two months ago my sister told me that Rose would be moving here. My friend and colleague agreed since he knows the market well here so we closed it. As Rose grew older, I was so attached to her. As soon as she started growing at seventeen I left for Florida to work there in various jobs. Every time I went back to our hometown to visit my family, Rose was there, reading, and spending time with Diana. I wanted to make a move but I always stopped, because she was a minor, but mainly because we lived in other cities. Rose deserved to go to college and study what she wanted. I would just be heavy. So I was patient. With my friend Seth we decided to join our savings and open a coffee bar after we knew the job. The only thing we didn't decide was the place. As soon as Diana told me that Rose had made a deal to publish her book and she would move to LA, I talked to Seth about having the coffee bar here. It was my opportunity and I would not miss it. Seth has friends here who can help whenever there is a business opportunity. Rose didn't leave me all night. We danced, drank, and had fun. Diana and the others immediately understood what was going on. I didn't mind at all so everyone understood who Rose belonged to. Sean in particular, but as soon as I found out he was gay I was relieved. But I also felt a little stupid that I envied him when he touched Rose. Rose couldn't stand the night for many hours and we both left for home. She paid for what we had drunk so far. She insisted because the party was for the book so we left it. Leaving the club, she tripped her and I grabbed her by the waist

"Easy there love," I tell her

"Sorry. I'm not used to drinking. How did you call me?" she asks me with questions but also tenderness in her eyes. I catch her from her waist and I hold her fastened on me.

"Love, why?"

"You don't know how many years I dreamed of calling me that," she tells me in her drunkenness. I smile

"And you don't know how long I waited to make you mine"

"How long?"

"Too long. And now I will not leave you" She smiles sweetly at me. I take her by the hand and we get in the taxi to go home. At home, I was thinking of putting her in my bed or Diana. Not that I will do something because she will not understand something but I want to feel her next to me. I helped her change and put on a T-shirt of my own.

"How do I look?" she asks me sweetly

"You look better than me" I lay her down and take off my clothes and I only wear sports shorts. I lie down next to her and look at her. She is looking at me too.

"Can you hold me?"

"Sure love. Come here" I say to her and open my hand. She rests her head on my chest.

"Dean?"

"Yes love"

"I don't know what I am for you and how you feel. But I want to tell you how I feel for you all these years" she says and she takes a deep breath

"I've been in love with you since I was a little girl. From the first day we played with Diana and you ruined our game," she says and we laughed.

"Maybe I wanted to make you look at me," I say and caress her hair

"You did more than that," she says

“For me, you are the world and the only woman who is stuck in my mind all these years. No matter how many women passed, only you remained in my mind and heart.”

“Really?”

"We will talk tomorrow. Sleep now. I will be here this morning and we will talk more” I say kissing her head

"OK Goodnight"

"Good night love" and in seconds I heard her light snoring. In my arms. Dreams can come true in the end.
