Rose Hastington "Daddy!!" I hugged him really tight since I miss him so so much. "No happy birthday?" He asked and I chuckled. "Happy birthday daddy." I smiled. "Thankyou pumpkin." I kissed his cheek. "Hey sis." I turned to see Luke entering the dining room. "Hey." I hugged him briefly and smiled, I miss my family so much. We talked at the dining room for awhile until it's time for me to get ready for tonight. I walked up to my room and quickly jumped into the shower. After taking a shower, I quickly dried hair and moved on to make up. I curled my hair into big curls and bun my upper half. I looked myself to the mirror to check if I’m missing something or nod. My mom was the one who bought me this dress, it’s a dark blue halter neck dress. It's beautiful and elegant, I wore it and walked to my shoes cupboard to find my nude highheels. Suddenly someone knocked at the door and I told them to come inside. "Hey." I looked at the door and found Luke standing there. "Hey just come in." I said and he walked inside, he looked at me and smiled. "You look good." He said and I smiled. "You're not bad." I said and he rolled my eyes. "So what's up?" "Max is going to be there" I stopped as I put my bracelette. "How's your relationship with him?" I asked as I put on my earrings. I tried not to be affected by hearing Max’s name. "I don't talk to him." I turned to him disbelief. "Are you serious?" "He might be my best friend but blood is more thicker." He said and I smiled. "He hurted you.. so many times, I'm proud of you when you decided to move on." I looked at the mirror again and sighed. "Alex said he changes.” "He does but I still don't trust him.” "Just go back to usual Luke, it's between me and him so you don't need to have cold war with him." I said and he shook his head. "We have to give him a lesson Rose, don't be too kind." "Luke.. I'll be the one who will teach him a lesson so you both stop fighting." I said and he sighed. "He hurted you so much Rose.” "I know, just ignore him.” "I know he's trying to take you back." I looked at him and I nodded. "Are you going to give him a chance?" I seriously don't know how to answer that question because a big part of me doesn't want to give him a chance but my little heart want to give him one. "No.. for now." I said honestly and he nodded. "Let's go." He said and walked to the door. I followed him and we walked out together, I walked downstairs and the fact that my parents already go first so I have to go with Luke. I walked to he car first and he got in not long after that. We talked along the way, just catching up a lot of thing. I’m glad that he’s a lot more mature than he used to be. As soon as we got there, Luke gave this car key to the valet chauffer. Not long after that I've got a message from Janet that she's on her way. I'm excited to see my friends. I walked inside and felt the cold air con hitting my face and body. I linked my arm to Luke’s and we started to greet people that we knew along the way. It was fun to see people that I used to see. I miss working in New York. "Rose!" Janet hugged me. "Hey." I squealed and hugged her back tightly, I hugged Sky briefly. "So how are you doing?" She asked. "I'm good." I smiled. Suddenly the party started, the waiter started to bring champange and wine around. I took the champange and so was Janet. "Hey." I jumped as I felt someone holding my arm, I turned my head and saw Austin smiling at me. "You scared me asshole." I glared. "There there don't need to be mad, fiancè." He said that and I narrowed my eyes and he gave me an eye 'just act along'. "You know I don't like when you scared me." I smiled sweetly and he suddenly intertwined his hands with mine. He pulled me away far from my friends and everyone. "What is it?" "Wow you should thank me because Max almost walk towards you." He smirked and I looked at him disbelief. "What?" "Max was eyeing you from a distance and when I saw he walk towards you, I quickly get you so you should thank me.” "Whatever Austin.. so what's with you and Violet?" I asked. "Secret babe." He whispered to my ear and I shook my head. "Rose." I froze. I felt Austin's hand on my shoulder and secured me near. "Hello Max." Austin greeted and I looked at Max. "Portwalt." Max greeted back but in a cold tone, his eyes landed on Austin's hand that rest on my shoulder. "Can I talk to Rose for awhile?" "You mean my fiancè? Sorry dude.” "Just for awhile." Max Cesantio begged Austin everyone. Austin looked at me and I shook my head. "She doesn't want to." Austin said to Max "Let's just go to my parents." I took Austin’s hand and intertwined with his hand. I pulled Austin away from there. "Did you look at his face?" Austin asked and I looked at him weirdly. "What? Do I look like I care?" I bursted. "You still care Rose, it's all written on your face." Austin shook his head and I smacked his arm. "I'm not.” "You ran away from our marriage Rose. I mean yeah.. I already predict that but yeah.” "You already know that I will run away?" I asked him disbelief. "I know you will do something, you don't like me Rose." This guy is unbelievable! "So why do you need Violet's contact so much?" "It's a secret beautiful.” "She just broke up with her long term boyfriend, don't even think about hitting on her just now." I warned and he smirked. "Chill Rose." He chuckled and I glared at him. Suddenly because of the coldness, I wanted to go to the toilet. I drank so much water at home and now my bladder already full. I told Austin that I'll be going to the toilet, he nodded and I walked away. I went to the toilet and rubbed my hands together because it's so cold. I walked out from the toilet and walked back to the ballroom. Suddenly someone put a blazer on me and I turned around. "You're cold, wear it" He said and I quickly took off his blazer off me and pushed it back to him. "I don't need it.” "You're cold, your lips are dry." He put it back on me and again I pushed it towards him again. "I'm sorry Rose." I looked up to him. "Don't appear in front of my eyes again." I said coldly when I turned around, he backhugged me suddenly. My heart starts to betray me.
