Chapter 37 - Chapter 36.

ROSE P.O.V.

"Thrilling, isn't it?" he sounded excited.

He stood motionless looking at me, waiting for me to say something, I tried but my mouth wouldn't respond. My arms stayed locked around his neck while my head spun uncomfortably.

"Roseline?" he called out, he was anxious now.

"I think I need to lie down," I gasped.

"Oh, sorry." He laughed quietly, as he opened his car door and cradled me inside like a small child.

"How do you feel now?" he asked as he entered the driver's seat. I didn't know how to reply when my head was spinning so crazily, so I replied with my eyes closed, "a bit dizzy."

Lorenzo started driving as he kept the speed reasonable, I had my eyes closed as the cool wind brushed past me. My dizziness was getting better as the minutes passed by.

"Open your eyes, Senõrita," he said quietly. I tried opening my eyes slowly and found him right in front of me, he had removed his seat belt and was looking at me.

"I think that wasn't a good idea." he mused, his gaze fixed on my lips, I just gave a slight nod.

I pulled his jacket off my shoulder and handed it to him.

"You can keep it-" he said.

"I don't want to have to explain my friends."

"Oh."

I hesitated, my hand on the door handle, trying to prolong the moment. I looked back at him one last time, he was leaning towards me, his pale, smooth face just inches away from mine.

"Sleep well," he said. His breath blew on my face, stunning me. It was the same exquisite smell that clung to his jacket. I blinked, thoroughly dazed, as he leaned away. I was unable to move until my brain started working again, then I stepped out of the car awkwardly. I thought I heard him chuckle, but the sound was too quiet for me to be certain.

I got inside the dorm gates, reached out for my room keys to unlock the door, and stepped inside. Grace wasn't coming today, since it was "valentine's day", she was with Zain, I had my room to myself plus I still have to read the book that Adrien had given me. Removing my sandals I took out the book from my bag and kept it over my study table. I went through the motions of getting ready for bed, it was too late 1'o clock at night but still, I wasn't feeling tired- my mind was filled with memories of Lorenzo. I dressed for bed swiftly and climbed under my blanket and then closed my eyes.

I'm in a dark alley, it's very cold here, I cannot see anything. I can hear someone- it sounds like a female voice. I can see her, far away from me, curled up into a ball. I cannot see what she is wearing due to the darkness.

"Hey?" I asked as I reached up to her, she slowly revealed her beauty. She was my mirror image, but more beautiful than me, she looks back at me with a beautiful green shimmer in her eyes.

"Beloved," she said, I frowned looking back at her.
