As soon as Rose woke up, she discovered that Aiden wasn't by her side. She sighed as she stood up.
“I didn't even get to tell him happy birthday," She thought. She quickly went into her room to get herself and Liam ready for school. After they were done, they went down to eat.
“So Liam, have you made any friends yet?" He nodded his head happily.
“Yes. Ruben and Ruby, they are twins. Ruben is cool while Ruby is loud but she's kinda cool too" He chatted. Rose chuckled beside him.
“I'm Glad you're having fun" Liam smiled at her before turning his attention back to his food. Andrea sighed.
“I can't wait to be out of school, this constant waking up in the morning isn't for me" Emily grinned.
“You've seen nothing yet, College is much worse"
“That's not true, in college you don't have class every period. Like for example, I might not have class early in the morning and I want that" Emily shook her head.
“Trust me, it's more stressful than you think" She turned to Rose and Liam and saw that their plates had been wiped clean
“It seems you guys were hungry today because you don't normally finish your food. Eat up, Andrea, don't waste their time" Andrea quickly munched down her remaining bacon before getting up.
“Let's go, Steven is here already" Rose nodded then helped Liam pack his things before they left.
“Awwn, it's so cute that you want to do something special for him on his birthday. What do you have in mind?" Claire questioned as they sat down in class, waiting for the teacher.
“I don't know what to do, I was thinking you guys could help me" Andrea thought over it for a while.
“Well, my brother doesn't like extravagant things so spending some quality time with you would be enough for him" Rose nodded.
“That's what I thought too. I was thinking you guys could follow me to the mall to help me pick out something to wear, I just realized I don't really have much" Claire chuckled.
“Don't worry about clothes, Andrea and I have got you covered. Just think of how you'll celebrate his birthday with him" Rose nodded and began thinking.
After Claire and Andrea worked their magic on Rose, she stood up from the dresser and glanced at herself in the mirror. Her skin tight peach gown hugged her in all the right places and brought out the rosiness of her skin. Her black hair flowed down to her waist as it glittered like diamond and to top it all up, some accessories and a black stiletto heels. She felt beautiful and she looked beautiful, right now she knew she looked more beautiful than Brianna.
“Oh my God, my Rose looks so beautiful," Claire gushed as she took her some photos. Rose smiled at her before turning to Liam who had been sitting there, watching her.
“What do you think?"
“You always look beautiful sis" Rose bent down and hugged him before turning to Andrea.
“What time do you think Aiden would be back?"
“Even before he started working, he normally came back late on his birthday so I think you should visit him at the company and drag his ass out" Rose nodded.
“That's what I was thinking too but there's one problem".
“If you're talking about transportation, I've got you covered. Steven is on his way" Rose ran to hug Andrea.
“Thanks alot"
“Hey! What about me?" Claire frowned. Rose giggled before hugging her.
As Rose walked into the company, this time she didn't need to walk to the receptionist so she just walked straight to the elevator and no one seemed to be stopping her, she guessed Aiden must have passed out an order.
As she got closer to his office door, nervousness began to creep in. She greeted the secretary before taking a deep breath then opening the door. What she first heard were sets of laughter from a boy and a girl. Brianna was sitting down on Aiden's desk as they both laughed over something. Rose was about to turn around and just leave when Aiden caught sight of her.
“Rose?" He stared at her with so many emotions, she couldn't even identify one. She shifted from one feet to another out of Embarrassment.
“I'm sorry for disturbing you guys, I'll leave now" She quickly walked out the door before Aiden could say anything. Aiden quickly stood up from his chair and ran after her.
“Rose, wait, where are you going?" Rose halted in her steps, took a deep breath before turning to Aiden.
“Happy birthday, I dressed up like this for you and I wanted us to do something special today but you seem to be having a lot of fun already so I'll be leaving now" Aiden hugged Rose from behind as soon as she turned away.
“I'm sorry, I didn't know you wanted to spend my birthday with me, I would have stayed at home today and I would rather spend time with you than anyone else" She sighed before turning to him.
“What is Brianna doing here?"
“She came to wish me a happy birthday"
“Aiden, I'm not comfortable seeing you guys together. I don't want to come off as possessive or clingy but I don't like it"
“There's nothing to Worry about Rose, I promise"
“There is Aiden, I compare myself to her with every chance I get, even when I was getting ready today, I also compared myself to her. I don't know why her presence affects me so much but it does. I'm sorry, I didn't want to be like this on your birthday, I don't even know why I feel this way but...."
“But nothing Rose, don't worry about Brianna, she's not a threat. I love you"
“How is she not a threat? She was your first love"
“She's a lesbian!".....
