I wore a black dress that accentuated my curves ,I have come to love my curves and big bosom so much over the years,I love the way Dave scowls at guys whenever they look at me, and a two inch heels to compliment the dress,I am a five foot eleven so I never wear pass a three inch heels, which kind of stuck for ever,Dave can be considered a big man,when I say big I mean easily six foot five and most of it muscles.
I am a very beautiful lady myself with honey coloured eyes and long curly blonde hair and my face adorn with freckles all over my nose bridge and my cheeks,I arrived at a restaurant that turned out to be a five star restaurant and I started getting worried momentarily because meals here are usually expensive,i made a mental note to say thank you to Dave,I love when my man spoils me with his money, when I got to our table but that didn't stop me from squealing inside.. I missed my baby so much. The waiter approached me to take me to our table but the happiness I felt started to recede because the back of the person sitting on the reserved table wasn't Dave.
Slowly,I walked up to the table and was momentarily stunned because the person I saw sitting was an older version of Dave,I was starting to get annoyed because Dave never told me about his family,I ask him but he always do something to make me forget momentarily. I know I was being quick to judge but the person I was looking at was literally Dave but older.i was brought back from my reverie when I heard his voice.
"Good afternoon Miss Peterson,I know it's obvious but let me introduce myself properly,I am George Roliden, the name Roliden sounded familiar,,I was about to greet him back when he waved his hand as a sign, telling me not to bother,there in that moment I knew things were not going to turn out well,he continued anyways.
"I know Dave was supposed to meet you here but he decided to send me instead as he has to attend an important meeting, boy was he rude! you would have noticed Dave does not look like an highschool teacher and that because he his not one, Dave is the COO of the Roliden Company and I was stunned.
The Roliden Company! yes, the Roliden Company has been a family business for up to a century and they deal with almost every scientific gadgets, Roliden has a Subsidiary company that deals with Female products and other services I am not familiar with.I felt like falling from my chair thanks to the waiter that decided to grace us with his presence at that moment
"My name is Chris,and I would be your server for tonight,what would you like to have Sir and Ma?
"I would like to have Sparkling water please he said,and you ma? Same thing he his having, I told the waiter, he left and came back shortly.I immediately took my water and gulped some down .
"I would not waste both our time and get straight to business,the Rolinden family has been an elite family for decades and it's only right if the sons and daughters are married to an elite family,Dave left because he wanted to see the outside world and we gave him three years to do that ,Dave is been made CEO today and he can't be seen with someone like you,no offense but you are an orphan who worked two jobs to be able to go through with highschool,and you immediately applied for college because Dave decided to sponsor you.
Everything he has been saying were hitting like a million knives piercing through my body and cutting through the most sensitive of my body part, unconsciously tears started rolling from my eyes remembering my parents and how they died,how I found out they left nothing for me except the house we live in which is still being lock up at my home town because it's the only memory I have left of them and I can't bear to sell it,the times I spent with Dave, giving my virginity to him and all I could do was sit like a dummy and listen to Dave's father remind of my deepest and darkest days.
"Hearing all this from me might make me feel like a mastermind, because you think Dave loves you so much.
I raised my head to look at him with a face that shows how? because really that was what I was thinking,and I heard his voice,the voice that I have come to love,that voice that I can't seem to do without,the deep timbre voice that shoots straight into my core and does things to me whenever he speaks.
"Rosé,"Dave is the only one that calls me that", I am sure you heard what dad said,I am sorry I didn't tell you about who i was,but I had to get out to the real world to see how things work and unfortunately you got involved with me,I just wanted to tell you that I don't love you because i already have a fiancee that I plan to marry by next month.i am sorry but you and I were just a fling,am sorry if I made you think you were more than that. A sum of seven hundred thousand dollars will be sent to your account for damages,I hope you have a nice life.
Fling? Damages? I scoffed bitterly,It felt like my chest was about to rip open,my breath started coming out short but I tried my best to calm down.i remembered all those times when he will pull me to his chest and whisper loving words to me,the time when we were caught making out on graduation day by Alicia and her minions who instead reported only me to the school management that I was forcing my self on Mr Dave, how he openly announced we were a couple,how he stood by me and insisted my certificate had no bad records on it or he will sue the School,how he compliment me Everytime I let my hair down.
The signs were there,Dave had an authoritative aura whenever he does anything,how the teachers at school never seem to argue with him?how he only comes to school on the days he has to lecture,the signs were all there!
Everything was just too much and I felt like I was going to die,I no longer cared about where I was and cried like I lost someone close to me,and I did lost a part of me, Dave was the love of my life,my confidant,I held my chest because the pain was too much for me it's funny but I love Dave more than I have ever loved anyone.
"The money has been transferred to your account,have a good life Rosie,I heard Dave's father said,he dropped a two hundred dollar bill on the table before he stood up and left.
This is not a movie,I muttered to myself,there has been cases of families that makes absurd decisions behind their children's back and everything happening is totally absurd, so I took my phone to call Dave.
"Rosie everything i said isn't going to change,I have made up my mind and I heard a beep,I tried calling him after that but the voice of the operator was all I was hearing, saying "The number you are trying to call does not exist".He called me Rosie for this first time?I thought bitterly.
I was feeling numb and tired when I stood up from my seat,I walked out of the hotel and started walking down to the bar I saw when coming in the cab. I drank until I dropped that night,shots after shots,all I remembered was calling my best friend Louisa to come pick me up before everything black out.
