Vivian got her phone out and called the man she had told to appear.
"Where the hell are you... what you can't come, Arthur threatened you " She instantly hung up her phone when she heard Arthur's name.
Her body and face hurt after being brutally beaten by Rose. Vivian cursed as she got up from the floor Rose had thrown her.
"You might have jumped this one, but I still have a few more under my sleeves"
As they moved to the dancing space, Arthur asked Rose if she knew how to dance.
"I had a part-time job at a training club, so I used to practice with some students after "
"You always surprise me with your hidden talents " Arthur complimented.
His hand held her waist as the other hand met hers.
They moved step by step across the hall, other guests left leaving the spotlight on them.
Her shoulders moved smoothly with the flowing with the music, making her look gentle and gracefully as she danced.
Arthur felt her move in his arms, feeling the music with her body. She looked like a professional dancer. The white dress had completed the scene making everything perfect.
Her blue eyes were fixed on his, smiling as she moved.
Everybody was captivated by their dance, they moved so gracefully that it looked so beautiful.
Rose in white with Arthur in black.
It was the perfect couple for the evening.
The music came to a stop as Arthur led Rose to rest her feet.
The guest applauded as they left the hall.
Arthur leads her to a seat as he helped her get her feet free from the heels she was wearing.
"Do they hurt? " he asked
"No, they don't, am just tired "
Her pregnancy had depleted her energy level.
"Why don't we say good night to my parents and head home " Arthur suggested.
"Will it be okay if we do? "
"It's okay, they know your condition," he said
They said their goodbyes and left the dinner.
She fell asleep in his arms as they were driven back home.
He carried her into the house since she was sleeping.
He placed her on the bed.
"How many times have I carried you to bed? " he mumbled.
"And how many times have I undressed you ?" he asked again.
Rose who was now half-asleep smiled, feeling his hands pull off the dress.
"I know you like it " she muttered
Arthur was caught off guard by her statement-making his face turn red.
She opened her eyes and stared at his now embarrassed face.
" Why are you quiet now ? " she got up sitting upright.
"Thought you were asleep? "
"I was but you woke me up with your grumbling "
Arthur continued to pull off the dress that was now at her feet. Not looking up to meet her eyes.
She laughed making him laugh at himself too.
"Why did you leave the dinner early, I looked for you but they said you already left " Alex complained.
Ralph didn't say anything but continued to read patient's cases.
"I know you are angry for not being with you at the dinner, but those people are family friends that I take long to see that when I do am excited to be with them "
"I left food for you, warm it, and have some," He said.
"Ralph don't be angry please " she begged.
"Am not angry, I know that was your world you had to be excited. I just wanted to be involved in it, introducing me to them so I could know where I stand in your life. But you seemed to forget that during the dinner that I had to even leave alone "
Alex felt guilt, she had only shown him to her parents but not her friends. He had seemed to be fine alone that she didn't mind leaving him alone. But now he was hurt because she didn't really think about his feelings.
"Am sorry if I hurt your feelings " she apologized, hugging his back.
He felt her warm body against hers, as her soft voice whispered in his ear.
He turned around and stared back at her.
"Forget it, I don't want you feeling bad after having fun with your friends "
"Then am I forgiven ?"
"You are forgiven "he smiled
" How did you see my parents after meeting them ?" Alex asked.
"Your father seemed to like me since I was a doctor, and your mother loved me after she found out I was Rose's brother so I liked them both "
"Thanks that makes me happy " She kissed him.
Tiptoeing so she could reach his lips since he was taller than her.
His bent and carried her, Alex wrapped her legs around his waist and kissed him again.
"I love it when you carry me like this," she said.
"Then I will start doing it every day "
Their lips met again, growing more intense each second, as their bodies became hot.
He moved towards the bed, his lips not leaving hers. Crashing them both onto it.
"Help me with the zip," she said between kisses.
His hand pulled it down, as the dress fell off exposing her already hot body. She pulled down his pants as he removed his shirt.
Kissing her again, tasting the alcohol in her breath.
"What are you waiting for? " she asked pulling down the only thing that was between his hungry brother and her flower.
Silencing her with his lips he guided his member into, she moaned as her hands left his body and grabbed his hair pulling on to whenever he moved into her.
He was a wild one in bed and she knew it. She always felt excited whenever they made love.
Alex felt loved and adored by him during those moments.
He always said he didn't know how but his body had proved otherwise.
Rose was all over the news the next morning, showing how gracefully she had looked and enjoyed the dinner party at her future in-law's mansion.
The pictures showed her dance with Arthur, giving a speech, and chatting with the Ramon family members.
"You looked beautiful butterfly," Arthur said as he watched the news.
" It was all your doing, so the credit goes to you"
She finished her favorite yogurt and watched the news with him.
She really looked glamorous.
"I always wished to appear on the news, dressed elegantly with a beautiful smile and it came true," she said.
"Did I make it come true? "
"No you didn't, it was my hard work that made me reach here " Rose objected.
Arthur frowned.
"I worked so hard that you were able to love and respect my personality "
"Your right butterfly, I loved you for working hard even when the world was cruel to you, never giving up. You walked into that room with a scared face but still had the determination to save your mother. Fighting of the dark shadow of your father and moving on. Your amazing and am happy I fell in love with you "
She smiled and said "I did pass through a lot some I can't even begin to tell you. But I promise to tell you when am ready "
"I won't push your butterfly, I will wait until your ready "
Arthur had some dark secrets too, Secrets that haunted him when he tried to remember. They reminded him of his dark rebellious days.
