Rose Hastington
5 months later..
I felt the cold wind hitting my face and it’s just the best feeling ever when you're riding your bicycle around. I really love the feeling of it. It’s refreshing and just perfect.
I parked my bike and locked it, I walked to the beach and just sat there admiring the view and the nice cold air. I smiled widely and I'm so happy that I can move on with life after 5 months moving here.
I've been contacting my girls continously. We've been talking continuosly and thank God they never mention about Max a bit. I'm so grateful to have a friend like them.
Luke often checked on me and just visited me, he never mention about Max too. Austin has been a really good friend lately and I told him that I don't need his help cause I decided to move to Brighton.
There's a cute guy that I met when I'm on my way to work, I met him because he's walking his black labrador. His dog apparently ran away and caught it in time by luring it some snacks.
We already dated 4 times and he's fun and understanding guy. He's like a complete package of perfect guy and don't forget that he's handsome. Oh.. his name is Kevin Doplez.
I put on my earphones on my ear and started playing Side to Side by Ariana Grande, the best music for chillin by the sea. Oh right! I have to buy some groceries, I have literally nothing on my fridge.
I listened to a couple of music and just enjoying the view, I even think that I wanted to move here for good but I remembered my family. I can't just move here, I don't want to be selfish.
I stood up and walked back to my bike, I have to go to back home first and take my car to go groceries shopping. I won't be able to carry so much stuff with a bicycle so the best way is that I have to take my car.
As I got home, I walked in and drank a warm water because it's so cold outside so I might get cold because of it. After drinking it, I walked to my car and go to the groceries shop.
As I drove there , I'm thinking what things should I get. Sugar? Salt? Oh! I wanted to bake some cupcakes, last time I make it. It’s not baked perfectly. I need to buy some ingredients for that. Kevin said he likes my mushroom soup so I'd love to make that again for him.
As I arrived at the market, my phone rang and it's Luke.
"Yes brother?" I answered.
"How are you doing?"
"I'm good, I'm groceries shopping now. I have a really empty fridge situation." I chuckled lightly.
"Typical Rose.”
"So what's up brother?"
"Just asking." He said in a nervous tone.
"I know you're up for something." I said as I take a cart inside the market.
"Just nothing.. I miss you. So your big brother is missing you.." I laughed hearing him said that he misses me. He rarely say that, he's a guy with pride. He never said something like this so straight forward before.
"Awww I miss you too Luke.. that's so sweet of you."
"Mom missed you.”
"I always call her every night Luke.” I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah whatever." He’s back to the old Luke again.
"So do you have anything to say again?" I asked.
"Nothing." I know there is something in his voice but I just can't ask him again. He will get annoy.
"Okay then.. bye Luky" I chuckled.
"Bye ugly." He ended the call and I put my phone back to my bag. I smiled and just strolled around. I need to buy some flour.. I wanted to make some new recipe these days and flour is my main ingredient. I'll just take the 5 kgs flour then.. let's see where are they..
I walked into the flour and baking section, I looked around to see where is the flour.. where is it ah! I smiled and walked to see the flour on the top of the shelf. I'm trying to reach it but damn my height is just not good for this. I looked for something to step on. I tried to reach it again and I got the corner of the package. I pulled it slowly until someone reach it for me. He pulled it and taking it down for me.
"Thank-" I looked up to thank the person but instead of thanking him. I looked at him with hate and hurt. How dare he showed up here again after what he did to me!
I don’t even bother to take the flour, I just turned my body pushing the trolley away.
"Rose." I heard he's calling my name. Seeing him again after months not seeing him still got my heart beating so fast. All my system were not functioning well when he's around. It's always been like that and until this second when I’m trying so hard to move on.
"Rose." He held my right arm and I pulled it away from his grip. I pushed the trolley again. I don't want to talk to him and he has to keep his promise about letting me go if he hurt me one more time.
"Rose, let's talk." He said in a firm tone and I just ignored him.
"Rose, listen to me." He stopped me again by pulling my arm and towering me with his height. I looked up to him.
"I don't want to hear it, go sleep around and continue that habit of yours!" I said coldly and looked straight into his blue eyes that shows hurt and sadness. My heart was made of steel now, I'm not going to cry for this bastard again.
"Rose, look I'm sorry.”
"Okay.. you can go." I said lightly like I'm mocking him. He hates when someone is disrespectful to him and now all I want is to make him mad.
"I'm sorry Rose." He stopped me again.
"Keep your promise Max, let me go. I’m moving on and you have to accept that!”
