Me, Myself, And I

"She's mine"

Rose woke up the next morning, still tired from staying up late to text Gerald. She looked at her phone and saw 3 messages from Gerald saying, "Good morning beautiful."  "Have a wonderful day." "and in case no one told you, you look beautiful today, and everyday." Rose couldn't help but smile at his sweet texts, she wondered if he actually liked her.. Like love.. Rose shook that thought from her head knowing it was crazy to think that about a man that does one night stands and never stays. She looked at the time and saw it was 12:03 pm and she sighed, it was time to go by and get starbucks, and she was hoping the same creepy guy at the counter wasn't there today.

Getting dressed and doing her makeup she grabbed her keys and was out the door, when in her car she drove to starbucks and parked.. Bracing herself for whoever was at the counter at the moment. Rose finally got out of her car and locked the door, headin' inside and seeing one person she didn't want to see... She didn't know his name, but he always flirted with her and was just plain creepy. "Your original my love?" He asked while smiling, Rose scowled but nodded, he made the orginal that she wanted and bring it over to her, getting a bit close she looked away, trying to show that she was uncomfortable. 

"I like you, i kind of want you." She heard the man say and she whimpered. "Hey!" Rose heard a voice ring throughout the place, Rose looked over and saw Gerald, "That's my girlfriend what the hell are you doing?! She's mine." Gerald took Rose's hand and led her outside, Rose's heart was fluttering with the skin contact.  "Sorry about the hand holding." Gerald blushed and let go when they were outside. "Hey, you're okay, you basically saved me from rape." She smiled at him, kissing his cheek causing him to blush beat red. Gerald smiled at her and hugged her, "I'm glad we're friends, i'm glad you're not using me for my fame. It's nice to have someone i can talk to without having to do anything rather sexual. "

Rose hugged back, inhaling his scent, smelled like blueberry cigars and cologne. Rose couldn't admit she liked him more than what they were, so she decided to act like she was happy about being friends, as long as they were something. "I'm happy to be at service." Rose cracked a fake smile and Gerald raised an eyebrow at the smile, he didn't want to point out it was fake so he genuinely smiled back. Gerald then took her hand in his and said, "Wanna go to my house?i usually always have a surprise party, which get's boring but you could make it interesting."

Rose nodded a sure and followed along, his house wasn't that far, and even though he was famous, he  didn't have a car. Gerald's house was about 3 blocks away, and when they arrived they saw for once, no people, and they concluded that was because it was early in the day still. "Well, this is my place~" Gerald said as Rose let out a yawn due to being tired. "Oh, i know it's only," He looked at the clock, "4:30, but you can take a nap, just go to my room."

Rose nodded without intending to do so, Gerald led her there and she laid down, covering up with the blanket and extra sheet. "Don't worry, i'll be here when you wake up." Rose heard Gerald say as he covered the windows and shut off the light. "Sleep well." Gerald murmured as he left, shutting the door behind him. Rose smiled at the thought of how kind he was, but couldn't know if it was a trick, or if he actually wanted her in his life as a friend. "Might as well sleep on it." She thought out loud as she closed her eyes, falling asleep, eventually.
