Chapter 10: The Date?

Roselia gasped when she saw an amazing garden.
"Wow! I didn't think there was such a place back here...?"

"Ah. Barmeck has been taking care of this place most of his time while I was working... It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Qui... It is." Roselia answered then she softly touched a flower's petals.

"How long do you think Nathan is still out there...?"

"Not sure..." Lee answered as he peeked out the door. Roselia was walking around the room of the garden, she spotted a pot full of carnations.
"So many carnations..." She said then she softly touched a white carnation. She heard a door close, then when she turned, Lee was gone.
Maybe he went to go check if Nathan is gone... She thought then kneeled down and sniffed the flowers.

"Is Nathan gone?"

"Yeah. He left minutes ago when you came out..." Barmeck said then Lee sighed.
"Talk about compettion..."

"It's your fault. And I do remember saying that you might have to face other guys who like her, now didn't I?" Barmeck asked then Lee laughed.
"So that's it huh...? Fine then. I guess I'm left with no choice but to fight that pop idol." Lee said then he went into the back.
"Miss Roselia? Nathan's gone."

"Eh? Oh that's great."

"I get the feeling he might come back to the shop, so how about you come follow me into town?" Lee asked then Roselia blinked.
"...Are you asking me out on a date?" She asked then Lee's cheeks turned light pink.
"EH? Oh no! Please don't take this the wrong way, I was just asking if you wanted to hang out! N-n-not on a d-d-date!" Lee flustered then Roselia giggled.

"Hmm? What?"

"I'm sorry if I laughed... But I never met a boy who would stutter nervously at a girl. This is the first time I've ever a boy who's like that." Roselia said then Lee smiled then held his hand out.
"So? Do you wanna go?"

Roselia looked at his hand then nodded.
"Sure."

In town, Lee took Roselia shopping.

"Ummm..." Roselia began as she was inside the dressing room.
"Is it really okay for you to do this...?"

"It's fine. Besides, we can't let Nathan find you." Lee answered then Roselia came out of the dressing room, where a pretty dress and high heels.

"You look beautiful. Here. Put these on." Lee said as he handed Roselia a wig and sunglasses.

"Okay..." She said as she tied her hair and put the wig on then the sunglasses.

"There. Now no one will tell that it's you." Lee said as Roselia was looking in the mirror. Once Lee paid for the outfit, Roselia was looking around.

"Miss Roselia...? You're going to get lost if you don't stay close. Here."
He grabbed her hand then Roselia blushed and looked at him. As they were walking, Roselia looked at Lee.
I've never noticed that Lee was so... Handsome... I guess ever since I've been depress about being my ex that I forgot that there are other guys that could be the right one for me...

"Oh no..."

What is it Lee?" Roselia asked then she choked on air when she saw Nathan on stage.
"Okay! This last song goes out to a very special lady of mine, and I do hope she hears it."

What is he doing here...?" Roselia asked hiding behind Lee.

This is for you, Roselia!" Nathan said then he cued the band.

As I close my eyes our lips are getting closer
To a distance where they almost touch "I'm afraid I want to eat you"
Won't you let me hear more of that beautiful voice?
A poison needle pulled by a thread "Tell me where you'd like to be stabbed"

I am a butterfly trapped in love
The fragrance of the musk so strong it's unpleasant
Your gentleness entwining like a spider's thread
This isn't love but why is it that
I want to try holding you just once

I am a butterfly trapped in love
Today, the birth of something new
But, a rose is somewhat sly
No butterfly will stay at just one flower
This isn't love but why is it that
I want to try believing your lies

An ephemeral life, a fleeting love, I have nothing left to lose now
Even though I know I shouldn't do this, I am playing a game of cat's cradle with this thread

Even as you hold me tonight,
I still cannot tell you
"Don't make me so uselessly happy with your innocent smiles"
As well as tomorrow, as well as the day after that, I want to be held by you

I am a butterfly trapped in love
I pretend to not notice the remnants of those other girls
Even if I cannot meet with you, even if you're just playing around, I'm glad
This isn't love yet why is it that
I feel bitter when you throw me away

I am a butterfly trapped in love
No matter how much pain I am in I cannot move
To the point I even voiced it
I am trifled by you
This isn't love, this isn't love
It's just that I fancy you

If this is what you call 'pain', then I don't hate it
But 'pain' and 'spite' are not the same
Even though I know I shouldn't do this, I am tightrope walking on a thread

I have fallen though I've already made it across
No matter where I go hell awaits
But this is fine I prefer this than to be alone
I will chase after you Where ever we fall I will follow/chase your scent

Two traps have been set up 'musk' and the 'spider's web'
Still alone, still alone. Whilst knowing nothing, you draw me in...

The song ended then everyone cheered. Nathan bowed then when he spotted Lee in the crowd, he gasped.
"Hey!" Nathan shouted then he made his way through the crowd and finally caught up to Lee.
"You... You were one of the workers in that flower shop... Where's Roselia?" Nathan asked then Roselia peeked from behind then Nathan gasped.
"Oh! I'm sorry. Are you out on a date with this lovely lady?" Nathan asked then Roselia looked around then pointed at herself.

"Yes you." Nathan answered then laughed softly.

I guess Nathan doesn't know that I'm wearing this disguise...

"I'll let you two love birds enjoy your date. As long as you're not with Roselia, I couldn't care less on what you do. Ciao!" Nathan said as he left. Roselia and Lee sighed then they laughed.

"That was so close! He almost recognized you!"

"But he didn't! So we got off the hook."

"Well, with the pesky singer gone, how about we continue our 'date'?" Lee asked then Roselia blushed. She smiled then nodded.
