Chapter 10.
The next day Rosette called the Orphanage. A lady took the phone and Rosette explained to her that she might be interested in helping with the kids. The lady told her to come visit them the next day, just so she could see how it was. Rosette said yes and after the conversation, they hung up.
"So?" Chrono asked curiously
"I'm going there tomorrow" she replied "Then they'll give me some test time"
"Sounds good" he smiled "And don't worry about the kids though, you'll manage"
"I hope so, they at least can't be worse than you that's for sure" she grumbled, making Chrono get up from the couch and walk slowly towards her.
Her eyes widened and she backed away from him "Stop right there Mister" she growled "I'll get you back on whatever you're up to"
Chrono laughed and stopped right in front of her "I know you will" he pulled her into his arms and hugged her "You're too nervous" he whispered in her ear "Why should I do anything?"
"Because you always do" she whispered back "And I really hate it"
"That's the way you get your partners respect" he smirked "A good trick don't you think" he tightened his hold on her and leaned his forehead against hers "I learned that from my father many years ago"
"What a wise man your father was" she grumbled "I certainly hope your mother didn't let him get away with that"
"I think she hit him every time he did this" Chrono said and sweat dropped "He didn't do it so often" he kissed her forehead sweetly "A very wise man your father was" Rosette grinned.
"So? What now love? Wanna go for a walk?"
"Yes let us, I need some fresh air, but are you sure you should go outside while you're still sick?"
"Of course, I'm sorry I was in a bad mood yesterday" he tightened his hug further "And when you got angry at me, I became guilty for making you angry"
"It's okay" she whispered and hugged him back "Now let's go okay?" she pulled away and walked into the bedroom to change into something warmer. Chrono did the same, and when they were ready, they took a walk.
The sky was grey, but it didn't look like it would rain anytime soon. The couple walked hand in hand down the street.
In the middle of their walk, Rosette suddenly noticed a very familiar face in front of them "Oh no, not him" she grumbled, making Chrono look down at her questioningly "Hmm? Is something wrong?"
"Yes, that old guy over there is wrong" Rosette replied "He's the pervert from my old work"
"He is the one you have been complaining about every time you got home?" Chrono asked and took a closed look at the strange looking old man.
"Well if it isn't my little favourite Rosey" Elder called with a giant grin "I've missed you so terribly you know, it's no fun without you in the Café"
"Shut up you old perv" Rosette hissed
"Friendly as ever ey Rosey" Elder laughed "And who might the young boy be at your side? Is he your BF?"
Chrono smiled "I'm Chrono Oni" he introduced "Rosette and I have now lived together for one year"
"So you actually managed to tame the feisty temper of our Rose? Respect my boy" Elder grinned
"Well, it actually wasn't that easy either" Chrono replied "It took me about three or so weeks before I got her" he smiled down at a glaring Rosette.
"But you were lucky my boy" Elder smiled "Now, I think it's time for me to go on, goodbye my boy, Rosey"
She suddenly felt a hand on a much forbidden area "YOU DAMN PERVERT" she shrieked and hammered a fist hardly down onto the old man's skull.¨
"YOU WERE VERY LUCKY MY BOY" Elder shouted as he ran away full speed down the street.
Chrono hurrily wrapped his arms around Rosette to keep her from running after the old man "Chrono let me go, that damn perv deserves it" she snarled. Her ranting was interrupted by some warm lips on hers "Calm down Rosette" Chrono said "He's gone now"
"Lucky for him" she grumbled "I hate him"
"You hated me too; does that mean you like him?"
"Grrrr…" she slapped him hardly on his arm "I would never like him" she growled
"You said you would never like me either" he smirked "Do I have to be jealous? How many men did you say you hate?"
"Oh stop it" she grumbled and turned around and started to go on up the street. Chrono laughed "I just love it when you're like that" he said and followed her.
After a good long walk, they walked back home. The phone was ringing when they entered the door. Chrono was the one taking it. Rosette marched into the kitchen and put some dishes into the dishwasher.
She didn't know who Chrono was talking with, but she heard him apologize and say no many times. When he hung up he walked into the kitchen as well.
"Who was it?" she asked when she out the last plate into the dishwasher.
"Oh no one" he replied simply and headed for the living room
"Well it must have been someone" she commented "Now tell me"
"Nope, you won't tell me what Aion said either" he smirked "Now it's my turn"
"Fine, I don't even care who you were talking to then" she muttered and marched sullenly into the bathroom to take a shower. Chrono smiled triumphantly "Got ya"
All of a sudden, his laughs were interrupted by the doorbell. He walked out to open up.
Outside stood Satella with an angry frown, her frown disappeared as soon as she saw him though "I'm happy it's you Chrono" she said with a smile "I have to ask a favour of you darling"
"What kind of favour?" Chrono asked.
"Well… There is that one guy following me all the time and I thought when I find someone who can play my boyfriend, he'll stop" Satella said "Would you be the one? Please?"
"Uhm… I really wanted to help you, but I have something to do… I guess you'll have to find someone else" he replied with a smile and headed back inside.
Rosette had just exited the bathroom "Chrono, could you do me a favour?"
Chrono sweat dropped. What is it with girls and favours? "What is it love?" he asked.
"I want you to clean the apartment tomorrow while I'm gone, could you do that for me?"
"I'm sorry love, but I have something to do, I'll do it soon though okay?"
"What do you have to do then?" she asked suspiciously "
"I can't tell you that love" he said with a smile "I'll tell you soon though"
"If you say so" Rosette shrugged "Just remember it"
"Of course" he smiled and walked over to hug her "Did I ever lie to you?"
"I won't answer that" she grumbled, making the young man laugh.
