NA. This Rose & Bella duo have a potty mouth. Be mindful.
I laugh, I've forgotten you called it Professor Fuckface. I used to defend him, but I'm definitely over that right now.
"He ambushed me Rose, wanted a damn explanation why I accepted the job. Can you imagine?" I'm almost yelling now. Rose was going swirling the pasta she was cooking and as soon as I'm done talking she speaks.
"I do see this as possible, since he was always a self righteous prick. This is not news Bella, maybe to you, but not me." I sigh, because she is right. "Did you tell him to fuck off?"
"I said, "fuck you Edward" I whisper.
"Good for you!" She claps. "Come eat some pasta, this will make you feel better" she tells me while serving me a dish. It is warm and it is comforting no doubt.
"Do you think I should be eating carbs right now? I'm definitely heavier than when I was in college and you know Lauren is really thin" this comes out naturally but also unconsciously.
Rose is annoyed. "Number 1, who the fuck cares if you're heavier, yes Bella, our bodies change when we get older, having the body of an eighteen year old and you're almost ten years older, so stop. Number 2, we are done comparing ourselves with other people, yes you look different but you're also wiser and you've grown a lot so that's the only thing that matters. Number 3, we do not talk about other people's body, you know this, so who cares how Lauren looks, that's not our issue. And lastly, since when do we care what Professor Fuckface thinks about your body? We're done with him." I'm impressed with how much she can speak, I've learned that from her but still it is impressive.
But I also feel guilty, because she's right, I can't go back to my 18 year old ways with one interaction, that would be a lot of therapy wasted, a lot of money wasted.
"You're right" I mumble while I eat my pasta.
"You're damn right I am right, sweetie" she laughs. "You've got to be kind to yourself, it's the only way this is going to work" I nod, she's also right about that. "I've got to Bells, I'm seeing Emmett for lunch, but we'll talk tonight, recap the rest of your day."
"But you were just cooking, are you not gonna eat that?" Because if Rose and I share something, is our terrible portion control.
"I felt like you were going to be needing some comfort lunch, so it was meant for you. See you later" she blows me a kiss while closing the door.
I sigh, Rose has always had this dynamic with me. Taking care of me and being my cheerleader. When we met back in college I was very intimidated by her beauty, I even thought she'd be bit bitchy, but I was wrong. She's been kind from the very start and nine years later we're still here, best friends and roommates.
Putting away the leftovers, I check the clock and I still have more than an hour left, maybe all I need is to take a small nap, as I lay on my couch I try to close my eyes but I'm haunted by memories of you.
NA. Thank you so much for your reviews, I'm so happy to see them. I'll update the next chapter tomorrow. Hope you have a lovely Saturday.
