A LITTLE TOUCH OF ROSE - EPISODE 34

Rosita’s standpoint

I was looking at Zed as we walked back to join the guys. We were late, so late Cedric came to barge on the doors and windows but it was a good thing we were already coming out. Okay, Zed was already outside so I remained inside. Then Cedric screamed about Zed getting his act together and telling me how he feels before he turns to Japan’s newest psychopath. When he left, I came out and we shared a good laugh.

Zed refrained himself from holding me as we walked back, simply because we weren’t suppose to be dating in public. His shirt on me was the only thing keeping him from snapping.

“Finally! You both arrive!” Odin exclaimed. The game had already started and that other guy was doing his job well. It’s a good thing Darra was still useful. “Where were you?” He asked Zed, glaring dagger at my boyfriend.

My boyfriend, so nice to pronounce.

“I was preoccupied,” Zed said with a nonchalant shrug. Odin turned his scolding eyes to me. I raised my hands up innocently.

“Don’t look at me, he is the one who wouldn’t let me go,” I said with a smirk. It took him… In fact, everyone paying attention in our team a minute to put two and two together. The shirt on me was the final confirmation.

“Oh my God,” Meena gasped, throwing her hands to her mouth.

“We did it, we really did it!” Alyssa squealed. And then, the shriek that was completely unnecessary. Before I could blink, my friends tackled me to the ground with a hug. I watched us fall backward in slow motion, the sincere happiness on their faces before my back hit the ground.

“Don’t let it out, secret, secret,” Odin as usual still had his thinking faculty in check. The girls all gasped before cupping their mouths and giggling.

“Oneesama, we are so happy for you,” Alyssa whispered.

“I’m so happy for me, I successfully played Cupid,” Hime cried.

“Mom is not going to kill me alone,” Sakura chirped.

“In your face, Sora!” Yuki shrieked.

“It’s about time!” Darra shouted. They all said it at the same time.

Sora, yeah, forgot about that one.

“You guys, we can do this in private, party at my cabin tonight,” Zed announced, saving both our asses for now.

“Yay!!!” I chuckled as their boyfriends started pulling them off me while the ones that didn’t have a boyfriend stood on their own. Zedekiah helped me up and was going to hold me to himself, but I smartly went to stand beside Odin. I wrapped my hands around his bicep as I swung giddily. Meena stood at his other side, right next to Yuki and they were whispering about my sex life not so quietly.

I rolled my eyes and turned my concentration to my sex-on-two legs friend, Terry. He was staring at me with a teasing grin. Once our eyes met, he wiggled his brows, drawing a growl from Zed who was watching us. Terry threw his head back and laughed, catching Ten’s attention. Ten leaned forward and whispered something and they continued to whisper for a while before bursting into laughter.

“I feel good!” Terry and Tenny burst into song out of nowhere, starling everyone as their voices was somehow louder than the noise. “I feel nice!
Ta la la la Rosa la…” See what they did there? They were doing it for me. I glared sheepishly at them. They sang another line and wiggled their brows. Alyssa started laughing, almost doubling over for she is Alyssa.

“When you scream it ooh ah, bam bam wow!” She sang too, almost like a black American chorister. Ten changed his posture to look like he was dancing with an invisible mike.

“Squish! Squash! Sweat it out!” They weren’t just confusing everyone, but making them laugh at the ridiculous behaviour. I rolled my eyes away, folding my arms as I tried to continue my blush. Out of nowhere, Yuki burst into laughter, followed by Hime and Sakura and before I knew it, my friends were laughing with the backstabbers. Let’s just say the game ended with many losing because we confused the players.

I rolled my eyes as I dropped the bowl of punch in the kitchen. The party was still on unfortunately because they didn’t let me change my mind and I had to deal with it and with everyone else. The music wasn’t that loud due to the fact that we were in camp, and I was grateful for that.

I left the kitchen and went to the bedroom Zed and I slept to frown upon the twins, Alvin and Cedric weighing the bed to see if it was weak enough for Zed and I to break it. I wasn’t surprise at all that they got to be friends so fast, they are birds of a feather. Idiots.

However, when I returned, they were playing rock paper scissors? I tilt my head in confusion. Alyssa came beside me with a cup in her hand and shrugged. “They are trying to see who would use the bed tonight so you and Zed would sleep on the floor.”

“Huh?” I asked puzzledly. “Use the bed? As in…”

“Fuck a girl,” she giggled. What was really surprising me was that most of the guys were playing it, including Zed.

“But, don’t they need a girl to complete it? The last time I checked, Cedric doesn’t have a girlfriend,”

“Have he ever needed one to get laid? All he needs to do is go to the girl’s quarters and point at any girl he wants and he gets laid. He has that effect on people. Alvin on the other hand is hoping to get me,” she shook her head pitifully, “when would he ever learn that my heart belongs to someone else?”

“When will you ever learn that the someone doesn’t even know what love is?” I questioned back. I love Tennyson, but as much as I loved the goof, I knew he took the goof thing to a whole new level. It’s not like he doesn’t like her or love her in fact, he just has a very strange well of zoning every feeling to platonic. Even when it obviously wasn’t, he wouldn’t listen and convincing him had proven more impossible than anything I have ever faced.

Alyssa knew this, that is why she never gave up her love for him. She still had faith that one day he would acknowledge her. At first, I thought it was pointless, but seeing Zed and I, I knew there indeed was hope. She just needed some intervention like I did.

“Come on,” I took her free hand and pulled her out of the room to the other room where the girls were. The only guys with them was Darra who was getting a makeover, Isaac who was eating my sister’s face as she grind on him and… Who’s that?

“I was meaning to ask, I thought that cute one that follows Diamonds was going to come with us? You know, join the games?” I questioned everyone generally. Yuki snorted contemptuously.

“You didn’t hear? That bitch’s professional ass sister was found dead in a apartment with her older boyfriend who is one of Tokyo’s most wanted criminal. Just before that, a news was released where the bitch’s plans to kill her father and blame it on her mother was exposed along with many things. I knew Sena was a damn pretender and a cruel witch, but I didn’t know she was that bad. She and her boyfriend died, she by overdose and her boyfriend’s head was cracked open. One of his enemies got to them before the police did.” Yuki said hatefully.

I hummed as I sat on the bed, “she was fake?”

“Obviously,” Yuki snorted.

“She wasn’t,” Meena said sadly, “she was the sweetest person I’ve ever met…”

“You all are blind,” Yuki hissed, “I always said it from the beginning that Sena was fake. She was too good to be true and no one saw it from my view. I might be crazy, but I know a fake person when I see one. Once my guts tells me something, I know it is true. I knew it the moment I saw her, though I didn’t think that she was cruel to that extent.”

“Yes, Yuki, you are amazing, we get it,” Darra chuckled. Yuki smiled proudly and nodded.

“I’m just very good at detecting lies, just like I know Oneesama isn’t telling us her real last name and is keeping something huge from us,” she gave me a bored look but rolled her eyes and smiled. “Don’t worry, Oneesama, I won’t force you.” Everyone was looking at me curiously. I shrugged and smirked.

“I didn’t lie to anyone. I made it clear from the first day that my father and I quarrelled so I disowned myself. I took my half-sister’s last name, made that clear over a million times,” I ran my tongue over my lips as I maintained my smirk.

Well, there’s no need keeping it all in, right?

“My original last name is Fiero,” Their eyes flew wide, “yes, the twins are my older brothers,”

What? Thought I was going to tell them the truth?

“Wait, you are Timothy and Brayleigh Fiero’s mystery daughter!” Meena shouted, her eyes wider than the others. Alyssa giggled beside me. She knew as much as I did that if I should call my original last name, they would squeal the planet to destruction.

“Yeah, but you can’t tell anyone or dad would get mad. He wants me to be safe.” I warned.

“But, how are you related to Sakura?” Damn Yuki and her quick thinking.

“Her mother is my biological mother, she had me at a very young age, I don’t want to talk about it,” I murmured with fake sadness. It was the only way to get them off my back. “So, how come this camp thing still hold when that happened to Sora?” I asked to change the topic. Thankfully, they played along.

“To Sora, not us. What were they suppose to do? Throw away thousands of yen because someone’s criminal sister died? The issue is family and the least it can affect is her group, not ours. We would be there to show our ‘suppport’ at the funeral. Besides, everyone knows they never got along so Sora might not care as much as she ought to…”

“If there’s anything at all, she’ll be happy…” Hime interjected into Yuki’s statement.

“Hime!” Meena shouted with wide eyes.

“Hime-chan, Sora is wicked, but she is not completely heartless. She hates her sister doesn’t mean she’ll be happy that she is dead, sad, but definitely not happy.” Yuki defended Sora and she was right. Sora was wicked, but her wickedness didn’t extend to death.

“Will she still compete for Gempire Fronter Challenge?”

“Normally, Sora ought not to, but knowing how obsess she is with kicking me off from the position as Gempire’s Heart and remaining the group fronter, I know Diamonds would be competing and Sora will surely rise to challenge me again,” Yuki said and laughed like it was the most ridiculous thing. “I don’t like being the winner, but if it means keeping Sora away from my boys, then so be it.”

The look on everyone’s faces was amusing. They were afraid, scared at how sudden Yuki’s aura changed and the deadly glint in her eyes flashed readily. This was the scary side I’ve heard so much about.

Well girl, you haven’t seen my mom’s.

“Yuki,” Darra called scoldingly, “are you getting angry again? What did we talk about?” He asked with a threatening tone. His eyes were still close from Titi previously applying eyeshadow to his eyelids, but his beautiful girly face and voice was as stern as the twins’ father.

Just like that, Yuki’s anger was replaced with fear and she gulped loudly and shook her head. “N…no, I not, sorry, Darra-kun, don’t be mad at me again,”

Wow, love is indeed crazy.

I would have laughed in the past, but doing that now just makes me an hypocrite. “Apologise to them,” he ordered. I’ve never heard Darra being so stern and mature before, but he was pulling it off to keep his psychopath girlfriend under control.

“Sumimasen, minasan, go yōsha kudasai.” She murmured with with head bowed with shame. (I’m sorry, everyone, please forgive me)

Deciding it was time to change the mood, I clapped my hands and squealed. “We have another love crisis, people!” That definitely picked their interest as within minutes, my crazy friends surrounded me wirh eyes almost popping out of their sockets from curiosity. Even Sakura who had been in a heated moment with Isaac left her make out to hear the gossip.

“Alyssa is in love with Tennyson, the youngest of the twin,” their eyes flew wide while Alyssa gasped. “She needs help because my stupid brother won’t see pass his platonic love theory.”

“Wait, are you talking about the same one we know? God of cuteness, Tennyson Fiero?” Sakura gushed out with eyes wide with awe.

“Mm hm,” I smirked, turning my gaze to blushing Alyssa. On cue, they all did too. Alyssa bit her lip shyly and shifted far from us. I watched everyone’s eyes lit up simultaneously.

4…3…2…

“Tell me everything! Now!”

Ah, the thunderous request.

I chuckled for the rest of the hour as they bombarded Alyssa with questions before turning Isaac to the object of questions to know how guys think. Darra wasn’t seen as a guy because he’s… Well, you know, Darra. The other guy escaped, but Isaac didn’t. They asked him to think like Tenny and tell them what they think they should do. Sakura just snorted throughout as she made it known that they were talking to a blockhead.

She was right.

When they saw that he wasn’t useful, Yuki and Meena went over to kidnap Odin Know-it-all. It didn’t take time for Odin to give them tips of what he thought would work and I was actually surprise of what came out of his mouth, how it made perfect sense. Tenny just needed to get madly jealous which was another impossible thing because Tenny never gets jealous, EVER.

Odin told us exactly what to do and we knew the perfect idiot to use. We all went to the living room where the guys had gathered to play games while dancing and swinging their drinks everywhere. They were already drunk. Odin and I simultaneously groaned, knowing we would have to take care of them again.

“Well, this better works,” Alyssa muttered. The thought of kissing Alvin wasn’t sitting well with my ecstatic friend.

“Wait, let me get to position,” I said before running over to the guys who were laughing over something Zedekiah said or maybe Tenny. It was the first time my favourite boys were getting along and the sight made my eyes water. I guess I was the reason they never got along.

“My boys,” I cooed, throwing myself over them with arms spread. I fell on Terry’s body since he was in the middle, but my hands spread out to the other two. My face was in his chest as I began to giggle.

“Are you drunk?” Terry chuckled.

“Fuck, no,” I straightened myself and sat on his laps, “I’m just happy to see you three getting along,”

“Yeah, sure,” Zed said sarcastically before I was removed from Terry’s laps and planted on his. He wrapped a possessive arms around my body and pulled me to his chest in absolute jealousy. “As long as they stay away from you, I’m good with them.”

“And as long as he don’t make you cry, then we are definitely good,” they chorused and groaned from talking at the same time. I let them start their argument, using that opportunity to change position to straddle him and wrapped my arms around his neck.

“Hello, gorgeous,” I purred. He entwined his fingers behind me before moving it down to palm my ass. I flinched a little but giggle and pressed our foreheads together.

“Did I tell you I hate this jeans and jacket you are wearing?”

“Yeah, even I would prefer it on your bedroom floor,” I purred again, brushing our lips together. “Who won the bet?”

“No one, I kicked everyone out. As much as I want to, I think it’s best we continue this when we get back home. The crowd here is too much, don’t need that yet.” He whispered huskily. I giggled again and ended the long wait. I teased him first by dragging my teeth on his bottom lip, sinking it down enough to sting.

He hissed with pleasure, tightening his grasp on my ass. I swept my tongue over the stinging area, slowly repeating the action before thrusting my tongue into his mouth. A groan of satisfaction rumbled in his chest at that. Fire spread from his tongue to mine and then to my cheekbones and down the veins of my cheeks to my neck. The hotness instantly reddened my neck and cheeks, I could feel it. The flame pushed to my stomach, causing it to do continuous somersaults and the surface of my skin started to tingle like something was buzzing at it thin skin hair. His entwined fingers buried deep into my ass, almost as if it was aiming for driving into my ass.

A groan of contentment left both our lips. We could certainly get use to this. A little growl rumble through his chest as he pressed me even tighter to his body, a closeness that made warmth spread across my entire body and melt me into his ever open arms.

The warmth changed from innocent to cruel as it heated up my core and made my heart jolt. Our kiss grew more intense as he dominated my mouth with his, sucking and biting and sweeping his tongue everywhere; lacing it up with mine.

“Mm,” I moaned softly, getting up on my knees to try and suppress the rising pressure between my legs. Keyword, “try”. His hands slid off my ass, up my hips and the side of my body until it stopped under my breasts.

“For fuck sake! Get a room!” Terry’s and Ten’s shout brought me back to the fact that we were not alone, at all. We needed air anyways, so we both pulled away from each other but let our foreheads remain on each other and eyes locked.

His lust filled eyes glistened so brightly and I knew mine was doing the same thing. A bit of his ash blonde hair was scattered across his eyes and I knew his hair was dishevelled from my fingers. A smile spread across my lips as he let out a cute sound, a childish boyish giggle.

“I love how amazing your eyes are, the changes and all,” I whispered. He responded with another kiss, pushing his face forward and pressing his lips on mine. A moan left my mouth as I tilt my head to deepen the kiss. It wasn’t like the first one, but it sure did take my breath away.

Zedekiah pulled away first, chest heaving from lack of oxygen. I wasn’t that affected by it, so my breathing was calmer. He pushed his head back and ran his fingers into his luscious blonde hair, a sight I never knew I enjoyed watching.

“I fucking love you, Jem,” I leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss on his lips before pulling back and sitting on his laps again. “Don’t you…”

“I do, but saying it out loud is weird,” I murmured. He heard me anyways and his laugh certainly sent butterflies AWOL in my stomach again. “I love your laugh,” I said with a admirable smile, “and I love you too.” I added, almost inaudibly. The green in his eyes lightened and the diamonds I had come to love began flickering in them, the brown thinning out. He was excited, that was the eyes.

“I know you won’t say it again, but fuck, yes!”

“Will you two stop ignoring us!” Tenny shouted, and he seemed irritated. Why…

The plan!

I jolt up from Zed’s thighs on instinct, startling them all. I chuckled nervously at my overreaction and sat down again, this time, not straddling him. Ten scoffed, he was indeed irritated.

“What’s his problem?” I mouthed to Terry. He inclined his head to the middle of the living room. As expected, Alyssa was dancing with Alvin and she was showing him her damn sexy whining and grinding skills.

Oh, she is good.

I could already see the boner on Alvin’s pants. The way his hands ran over her body was irritating her, but she hid it well. Ten scoffed and folded his arms, before whipping his head away from the scene. I quietly watched him begin to boil with jealousy I never knew he had.

“What does she think she is doing playing with that…that…that… Whore,” Terry and I exchanged stunned look. We have both never heard him speak with so much venom, let alone with jealousy mixed in it. Tenny was impossible to make jealous, but he was at the moment which meant three things: Alyssa never gave him a reason to be jealous, he may have been jealous over her other times before but either in private or he was better at suppressing his feelings than we thought and he has always seen Alvin as a rival.

It was more of the last. Ten saw Alvin as a big threat, a giant one to what he wants but doesn’t know he wants. He envied Alvin and not just in that moment. With how angry he was, it probably meant it has been for a while and Alyssa was why. Alvin have never made his interest in her a secret.

“Wow,” Terry smirked, “they look good together, don’t you think, bro?”

“They don’t,” he hissed, “he is going to fuck and dump her and then Sparkle Princess will be heartbroken. How are you guys calm about this?”

“Because they just started dating yesterday?” I offered innocently, “so it’s not really our business.”

Oh my God!

Terry almost choked on nothing at the look Ten made. I’d never seen him like that before, so sad and broken hearted. It was like my words shot an arrow into his glass heart and shattered it. “They are dating now?” He asked with a whimper, “why? He’s not good enough for her. As her brothers and friends, we ought to…”

“Let her make her own decisions because she is an adult,” Zed cut in rudely, “leave my sister alone, Ten. You are always driving all the guys that might like her away, even if you won’t admit that you do it for the reasons we know you do it. What do you want her to be, a nun?”

“I am protecting her…”

“From what?” Zed snapped. He was either taking it seriously or he caught up on what I was doing. “From happiness and a chance of romance? From a great opportunity of wild sex and bliss?…” Tenny growled, almost in an animalistic way, “don’t growl at me or scream that you are right with your actions because you know you are not. Have you thought about how loneliness makes her feel?”

“She isn’t lonely, she has me,” he snapped back.

“You are not her boyfriend and will never be,” wow, Zedekiah was doing my job for me and honestly, he was handling it better than I could.

“She doesn’t need a boyfriend, especially him. She has me!”

“Tenny, that is selfishness and you are no different from him, you sleep around…”

“I’ve only been with ten girls all my life,” he hissed in a whisper.

“Yeah, but you slept with three of them four times and the rest twice,” Terry pointed out.

“Nothing compare to Alvin’s wall of conquest!” He yelled out, the music swallowing his scream from others. Zedekiah squeezed my thigh, making me know he knew what I wanted to do.

“Let her be, you are not her boyfriend but her non blood related brother, you can’t tell her what to do. I’m her cousin and I don’t control her, so why should you?”

“Because I care about her more than you do and she is fucking mine!”

Zed smirked calmly, “I thought she was your little sister?”

Ten rolled his confuse eyes around before biting down on his lips nervously. “She is…”

“And as a brother, don’t you want her to be happy?”

“I do, but…”

“You don’t want her to because you know that you cannot make her happy like she wants to because you know you are in self-denial, like I was.” Zed pushed further.

“No, I am not an idiot like you…”

“So you’re a fool then,” he interjected, still speaking calmly as he drew a circle on my thigh. Terry and I were trying hard to suppress our laugh.

“I am not, I don’t have anything to deny like you.” Ten scoffed.

“Okay, so you admit that Alvin can make her happy and give her everything you can’t,” he smiled.

“No,” Ten spat angrily, “he can’t because she can only be happy with me,”

Wow, is it hot in here?

Zed chuckled darkly and leaned back relaxedly in the couch before cracking his neck sinisterly. “That’s not what she thinks,” he inclined his head over to Alyssa. I turned my gaze to them and they were in a heated make out. From how she was kissing him, Alyssa had truly fallen for Alvin’s charm. She was kissing him back with hunger and complete lust.

Uh oh.

“What the…” Ten said angrily. I turned my gaze back to see him on his feet, body trembling with rage. I’d never seen him that angry before… Okay, I have, mostly on Zed’s account.

“Jealousy, thy name is Tennyson,” Zedekiah said, stretching his hand out to Ten with a mock smile. Terry finally let the laugh out, but mine came out in giggles.

Ten ignored us and watched them, eyeing Alvin like a wolf to a prey. When they broke the kiss and he actually kissed south and attacked her neck with it, that was when all hell broke.

Note, never test Tenny’s patient.
