Ermanno had his eyes closed but felt small kisses behind his neck.
"Get up hubby. It's 8 am. The birds are planning for lunch and the world has already completed half of its daily chores." Whispered Rose from behind him.
"First, didn't I tell you to not wake me up? Second, why are whispering from behind?" Asked Ermanno.
"First, you told me to not wake you up early. It's 8 am now. And second, you said you didn't want to see my face first thing in the morning so I am waking you from behind" said Rose.
Ermanno smiled at her cuteness.
"Are you smiling hubby?" Asked Rose.
Ermanno got out of the bed and picked his sweats and wore them. He looked for his t-shirt and saw Rose wearing his shirt and smiling at him.
"Why are you wearing my t-shirt?" Asked Ermanno.
"Cause it smells like you," said Rose and pulled the shirt to her nose and smelled it.
Ermanno placed his knee on the bed and moved his hand over her feet and pulled her towards him.
Rose laughed and Ermanno leaned down to her face and said "you think this all is funny little girl? I told you I will throw you out of the balcony if you wake me up. Didn't I?"
Rose giggled and said "yep. But you can't really throw me out"
Ermanno smirked and threw her on his shoulder and walked out of the room and down the stairs.
"Ermanno you can't be serious. We live in the 65 floors for god sake. My brain will fly out if I will be thrown from here." Said Rose."You should have thought about it before little girl," said Ermanno.
He turned towards the balcony that's when Rose spotted Vincenzo looking at them with wide eyes and open mouth.
"Vinci, my hero. Save me from this villain of a husband who is going to throw me out of the balcony" screamed Rose.
Ermanno stopped walking and turned to see Vincenzo standing the living room.
Vincenzo raised his eyebrows and said "fuck bro. How badly did you beat her ass up? It's turning blue for fuck sake"
Ermanno looked at what Vincenzo was seeing.
Rose's shirt had risen and her ass was in full display.
Ermanno dropped Rose to her feet and she ran to Vincenzo and circled her hands around his waist and said "oh Vinci save me"
Ermanno rolled his eyes and said "Rose come here"
Rose went behind Vincenzo and held his jacket and said "no. You were serious about throwing me out of the balcony."
"Well I warned you," said Ermanno.
"Are you kidding me?" Asked Vincenzo to Ermanno.
"You know what forget it. By the way, what are you doing here?" Asked Ermanno.
"I came to say goodbye. I am leaving to New York" said Vincenzo and turned to Rose and said "I'll see you soon in New York" and Rose smiled and said "if I am alive by then"
"Don't say that. And if he misbehaves or harms you let me know" said Vincenzo.
"And what the fuck would you do?" Asked Ermanno.
"I'll tell Sabrina mummy," said Vincenzo.
Ermanno rolled his eyes again and walked away from them to the kitchen to get some water. He definitely was looking at them whisper to eachother while drinking from his water bottle.
"Did he hurt you again?" Asked Vincenzo."No. Just was verbally abusing and today wanted to throw me out of the balcony," said Rose.
"He wouldn't have." Said Vincenzo.
"What if he had?" Asked Rose.
"Trust me he wouldn't have. I know him. Now give me a hug goodbye. I'll see you soon" said Vincenzo and Rose hugged him and Ermanno squeezed the water bottle and squashed it.
Vincenzo looked back at Ermanno and said "bye bro" and looked at Rose and said "take care. And remember I am only a phone call away".Rose went up to her tippy toes and kissed his cheek and said goodbye.
Vincenzo left the apartment and Rose looked at the furious Ermanno.
Rose smiled wide and walked to Ermanno and he slapped her hard and she fell on the floor.
Rose looked up at Ermanno with tears in her eyes.
"You fucking whore. Both you sisters are whores. Am I not enough that you fucking want my brother too? Didn't I tell you to stop flirting with him? Next time I will fucking hurt you so bad that you will need to go to the ER. Understand?" Said Ermanno and stormed out of the room and walked up to his bedroom.
Rose held her hand on her cheek and stood up.
She turned around to see Vincenzo standing at the entrance.
"Vinci" called Rose.
"I forgot my helmet. Rose are you okay?" said Vincenzo and was about to approach her but she stopped him and said "please leave Vinci" and turned around to go to the kitchen.
Vincenzo stood there seeing Rose silently cry in the kitchen.He took his helmet and stormed out of the apartment banging the door close.
Rose turned to look at the entrance and smirked.
'now you will be on my side Vinci'. Thought Rose.
Ermanno walked down the stairs dressed in his suit and looked at Rose one last time and walked out of the apartment."Asshole" cursed Rose and walked to her bedroom. She showered and dressed in jeans and a crop top and looked at herself in the mirror.
"Bloody hell" cursed Rose again and saw a swelling getting formed around her cheek.
Rose smiled and said to herself "someone should see this"
She picked her phone and called Sabina.
"Hello," said Sabina.
"Hi. Is this a good time to call you or are you busy?" Asked Rose.
"Oh god don't be formal Rose. You can call me anytime. Tell me what's in your mind?" Asked Sabina.
"Actually it's a bit embarrassing. You see, my periods are due soon and I can't go out as for Ermanno's instructions and I don't know anyone who can help me with this. The maids don't even speak English and I just don't know... " Said Rose and Sabina laughed and said "how about we hang out today and I'll take you out for shopping and lunch and you can buy everything you want"
"Oh, you are a saviour. Thank you so much." Said Rose.
"Okay then I'll pick you by noon," said Sabina and they both said goodbye and hung the phone.
Rose was seated in the dining area when she heard the doorbell.Rose looked into the CCTV monitor and saw it was Sabina.
Rose wore large sunglasses and opened the door.
Sabina was shocked to see Rose in sunglasses.
Sabina walked into the apartment and asked: "what's with the sunglasses?"
"I..ahh. I am ready to go so.," said Rose.
Sabina went close to Rose and removed her glasses and gasped.
"Oh dear. You are bruising. Please don't tell me you fell" said Sabina.
Rose didn't say anything and just hugged Sabina and started crying.
"Rose don't cry dear. Come sit" said Sabina and pulled her to sit on the couch.
"Now tell me what happened. Did Ermanno hit you?" Asked Sabina.
"He only married me to hurt me. I didn't want to marry him. And now I don't know what to do" cried, Rose.
Sabina consoled her and told her to have patience.
They both ended up spending the day together and Rose bought the required things from the pharmacy and a few more things from the mall.
Sabina was fun and Rose and her clicked well.
Listening to Rose talk about how Ermanno called her a whore though she was a virgin when she married made Sabina mad. Sabina didn't like that he would even curse Sofia who was dead.
"Please don't say this to anyone." Said Rose and Sabina only smiled at her.
Rose knew very well Sabina will definitely tell this to Sabrina.
