"So where do we go from here?" Jake asked.
Rose and him were back in Jake's hotel room standing out on the balcony, away from everyone else.
Once the fight was over and things had calmed down, everyone went home. Jake invited Rose to hang out with him in his hotel room for a while. Once Rose checked with her parents (who weren't thrilled with the idea of her spending time with a boy in a hotel room) they let her go after she told him Jake's parents would be there.
Rose took Jakes hand and gave him a sad, but sincere smile.
"I would love to be your girlfriend...if that's what you're asking me, but do you think it would work? Your family hates me, your friends hate me, and well...the biggest obstacle would be the fact that you live in New York and I'm currently living in Honk Kong." Rose pointed out.
"Listen, I know it's going to be difficult but I've been through too much. When the huntsclan was destroyed, you lost your memory. I didn't. I remembered everything that happened between us and it hurt like hell not being able to talk to you about us. We have to make this work...and as for my family and friends hating you, where in the world did you get that idea from?"
"You mean they don't?" Rose asked.
Jake shook his head laughing gently, "Who could hate you?"
Rose shrugged.
"Rose, let's figure out a way to make this work. Please."
Rose thought for a moment.
"Dream charms. We could dream date." Rose said.
"Not enough, I want to hold you in my arms in reality, not just a dream."
Rose sighed in frustration, yes Jake was being stubborn, but she knew he was right. Dream dating would never compare to being with Jake in reality.
"I could move back to New York." Rose said.
"Um...isn't that a bit extreme?" Jake asked.
"No! My dad got a job offer in New York, I begged him not to take it because I was happy with my life here. Maybe it's not to late for him to take the job!" Rose exclaimed.
"That might work. If it doesn't I could move to Hong Kong."
"Now who's talking in extremes, plus, Your the American Dragon. That means you have to stay in America, and let's be serious, your grandpa would never allow that. Our only hope is if my dad can take this job." Rose said sadly. Jake agreed.
"Rose." He said bringing his face closer to hers..."Whatever happens, we still have tonight."
Rose smiled and leaned into Jake, connecting their lips together in a kiss. Their second kiss since they have seen each other again.
"What do you say we get outta here?" Jake asked.
"Sure!"
"Have you ever ridden on a dragon before?" Jake asked.
"Well, once when I was trying to slay one and I jumped on his back to-oh was that you?" Rose asked.
"I think so...but it's in the past babe." Jake said before turning into his dragon form.
"Hop on."
Rose got on Jake's back and Jake took off. Rose held onto his neck and smiled at the feeling of security she had when she was with Jake. They landed on a rooftop.
"Where are we?" Rose asked.
"Your place. Well, technically were on the roof of your place." Jake laughed.
"Why my place?"
"Honestly I couldn't think of anywhere else to go."
"Thats ok. This is romantic."
"Really?" Jake asked, confused as to how this could be romantic.
"The rooftop, the moon, the stars the nightsky, my love by my side. It's kind of cliche but still romantic." Rose sighed. She sat down and Jake sat beside her.
"I really hope I can move back to New York." Rose said.
"Me too." Jake whispered to her.
Rose kissed Jakes cheek and wrapped her arms around him.
"See what I mean?" Jake asked, "The real thing is so much better than a dream."
