Chapter Sixty-six
? Rose ?
Richard POV
” Thank you for the food” Rose said as the waiter carry away our plates
” You are welcome,I can see that you really enjoy the food” I said teasing her, she started blushing immediately
That is what I like about her, so innocent how I wish that I met her first
” Are you okay?” She ask because of the way I was lost staring at her beautiful face, I quickly drop my eye from her, I guess I was making her uncomfortable, I have never behave like this toward any woman, why now and it has to be my my childhood friend girlfriend
” Am sorry I was lost in my taught” I said
” Oh, so what do you want to discuss with me about” she ask me
I actually had nothing to discuss with her, I just wanted to spend time with her, I have been carving to see her face and hear her voice this past two weeks, I can’t just stop myself
I tried,this was the main reason I gave her a month off to get my mind off her but yet I have develop feeling’s for my friend girlfriend
” Richard.. Richard, you are spacing out again, what’s wrong” she ask with a concern expression
I must have look stupid ” desert?” That was the only thing I could say, she look at me with a confused expression
” What?”
” Let me order for desert” I said trying to call the waiter but she stop me
” Am full, I don’t think I have a stomach for desert ” she said rubbing her stomach
” Are you sure” I ask her, I wanted to spend more thing with her without making it obvious
” Yes, my baby and I are full” she said
” I can see that” I said smiling at her
” So about..”
I immediately cut her off ” I wanted to discuss about the coming anniversary of the company and ask for your opinion” I rush out and say
it seems weird if I tell her that I just wanted to take her out on a lunch, she is my friend girlfriend and it will seem weird, so I can up with another way of spending time with her by telling her that I had something to discuss with her
*********
we had done talking about the coming anniversary which is not even near, I said that to keep her talking, she was too smart for her own good
” Oh my God, I forgot to call Alex” she said reminding me I once again that she is dating my friend, she immediately reach for her phone
” $h|t, I forgot my phone at the office, Alex must be worried” she said
” Let’s go and get it then” I said, I can’t help but to think how lucky Alex is, for once in my life I wanted a woman but she belong to another
I stretch out my hand to help her get up from the chair, she Started blushing I very happy that I sees to make her blush
She slowly put her hand in my own, her hand fit perfectly with my ” shall we?” I ask
” Yes please” she said as I walk with her to the door, i open the door for her
As we where walking towards my car, I notice how Rose constantly stare at the ice-cream shop beside the restaurant we came out from
” Do you want one” I ask her
” Yes, my baby is craving for it” she said absent minding with her pouting mouth, making me to laugh as how cute she looks, she started blushing again once she realized what she said
” Let’s go and get one for the baby” I said taking hold of her hand once more,

This is the fifth ice-cream I have taken, the flavor was too good, I wanted to request for another but Richard said it was not good for me
I mange to conceive him to give me one again, Richard pay for the ice-cream and we left the ice-cream shop and started walking towards Richard car
” You don’t need to follow me ,I will go and get it myself” I said to Richard again, he has done a enough for me
” Rose am taking you” he said as he took hold of my hand once more taking me towards his car, seems to like holding me I notice
I was busy still licking my ice-cream with my other hand that was free, that I didn’t notice that Richard has stop moving, I until I hear Alex voice
” What the f-__-k is this!” Alex voice thundered his eye was staring at the hand Richard was holding me with
I quickly remove my hand from Richard, as if I was caught doing something bad
“Alex…how” I wanted to ask him how he found us, I was surprised to see him here, did he came looking for me, but the look that he gave me made me to shut my mouth, he was glaring at Richard and I
His body was vibrating with anger, I was confused why is he so angry
” What the f-__-k are you doing with my girl” he shout at Richard looking furious
” Alex…. please..I ”
” Shut the f-__-k up” he shouted at me as I want to talk making to flinch with fear, Richard quickly reach out to hold me on my shoulder
” Don’t talk to her like that” Richard said defending me, but he was making Alex more angry
” Get your f-__-king hands off my woman ” he said trying to control himself cause he might loose it any moment, I didn’t even realize that Richard had put his hand on me ,I quickly move away from Richard
” Alex, man calm down” Richard tried reasoning with him
I was too shock to say anything,I don’t even know why he is like this
” You are asking me to calm down, what the f-__-k are doing with my woman, you bastard” he said pushing Richard on his chest
I can see that Richard is beginning to lose his cool too, people passing by were beginning to stare at us because of the way Alex was shouting
” Calm the f-__-k down, you are scaring her” Richard said pushing Alex back, the more Richard show concern for me the more it makes Alex mad
” Are you sleeping with him” Alex said staring at me,I gasp with shock that he could accuse me of such thing,
” I would never ….do… that to you” I tried saying as I tried to control myself not to cry, what have gotten into him how could he accuse me of such a thing with his friend
” Alex! what the f-__-k is wrong with you” Richard shout at him
” Rose come here” Alex said as he want me to come over to him, I slowly walk over to him
He grab me on my hand pulling me beside him to prove a point
” stay away from my woman” he said as he drag me to the car, Richard wanted to do something because of the way Alex was manhandling but I pleaded with him with my eye not to do anything it might anger Alex more
