Chapter 4.
They had waited for about fifteen minutes and still no sign of the new one.
Margarita's son had come a few seconds earlier. He was a brown haired young man with a moustache.
Rosette was the most impatient of them all "When is the damn dolt gonna be here?" she grumbled and felt an arm around her "Calm down love, I'm sure he or she is going to be here soon" Chrono smiled
As he finished that sentence, a big black car came around the corner and stopped behind the truck. A woman with long red/brown hair stepped out. She was only a few years older than Rosette. The woman had a very stern face.
"There she is" Chrono whispered in Rosette's ear "And she looks thrilled to see us waiting for her"
"Stop joking around" she scolded "She could hear you"
He gave her a quick kiss on her lips "Do I care?"
"Stop it, let's just get this over with" she hissed and started walking over to the woman "Hi, I'm Rosette Christopher, welcome here" she smiled "We will help you with your furniture"
The woman threw a short glance at the blonde "I see" she replied and took a closer look at the people around her and then at the house "This isn't exactly what I had expected"
"It might not look good on the outside, but I can assure you it's nice on the inside" Rosette said with a smile
"Nice? I don't want it to look nice, I want it to look perfect" she hissed "Now get in with my furniture so I can rest, I have had a hard day until now"
The driver of the truck bowed formally and opened the back of the big truck. Margarita's son was a great help. Chrono only helped with the smaller stuff like chairs and boxes. Margarita's son and the truck driver took the tables and closets.
The new one commanded them all around "Be careful with that you dolt, it has been very expensive" she hissed when they almost dropped a table.
Rosette glared after the woman "How dare she behave like that? We're helping her and she doesn't even give us a thanks"
Chrono appeared behind her, he had heard what she said "Maybe she is thankful, she just doesn't know how to show it" he smiled and took the box from her.
"Isn't that hard to show" she grumbled and took another box.
When they were almost done, the truck driver accidentally dropped a chair that he was about to reach out to Chrono. The woman immediately was at him "NOW SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE YOU IDIOT, CAN'T YOU BE MORE CAREFUL? YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT ONE" she barked.
"Easy now" Chrono said "Nothing happened, the chair is okay"
"There is a scratch there" she replied and pointed at a little scratch on the leg of the chair "So it's not okay darling" then she again turned her attention towards the driver "You're still going to pay for that"
Rosette hurried over to them "What happened? We could hear her even on tenth floor" she said
Chrono draped an arm around her and pulled her closer "We just dropped her precious chair love, nothing serious" he smiled
"Are we almost done? I wanna get away from that crazy bi-… I mean strange woman" Rosette threw a look at said woman "She didn't even tell us her name"
"Let's ask her then" Chrono smiled and pulled her with him over to the new one "May we ask what your name is?" he asked directly.
The new one looked back at him "I guess you may" she replied "My name is Satella Harvenheit… and who might you be?" she was giving him her beautiful eyes.
Chrono pulled Rosette even closer to him "I'm Chrono Oni, this is my girlfriend Rosette… we're your neighbours" he introduced; Rosette noticed the twitch of Satella's eyebrows when he said the word girlfriend.
"Nice to meet you"
The truck driver walked over to them "We're done" he announced happily and relieved. Satella glared at him "I hope you didn't break anything"
"No Miss" he replied and hurried off to his truck "Bye everyone" he called, before starting the engine and driving off.
Margarita and her son went home as well and the landlord turned back too, to his stamps.
"So Satella, we'll leave you alone so you can unpack your stuff" Chrono smiled "See ya"
Satella didn't answer, she just glared at the young blonde that had Chrono's arm draped around her shoulder. Chrono was whispering something in her ear and Rosette was slapping him on his arm for that, only making the young man laugh.
When the pair came back into their apartment, Rosette let herself drop onto the couch "She doesn't like anybody else than herself" she grumbled.
Chrono sat down beside her and pulled her down into sleep-mode position "She is a stranger among people that know each other… maybe she is just a little shy" he smiled and kissed the top of her head. She placed her head on his chest "A little shy? Shy people don't just start yelling at people" she grumbled "She is more a snob"
Chrono chuckled "You don't like her?"
"Absolutely not… but she seems to like you though" she lift her head and looked at him.
"Of course she does" he smirked "What female on this planet doesn't like the handsome Chrono Oni?"
"You're hopeless" she grumbled and let her head fall back down. Chrono stroked her cheek "I know" he whispered and closed his eyes. Before long, they had both fallen asleep.
Chrono was the first to wake up after a few hours. There was knocking on the door.
He yawned and smiled down at the sleeping girl beside him. He stroked her cheek lovingly and whispered "Rosette, there is someone at the door love"
She stirred and opened her eyes "What?" she replied wearily "just a few more minutes" she slurred and snuggled closer to the warmth of Chrono.
He chuckled and lift her head so he could kiss her "No more sleeping love, we have a guest that is trying to come in" he whispered "And we better open up, before our guest breaks our door"
She yawned and got up "Who comes now?" she asked annoyed, she was sleeping so well.
"I'll go open up" Chrono smiled and left the room. Rosette listened to his steps until he stopped at the front door.
After a while, he came back inside, followed by none other than their new neighbour.
Rosette got up from the couch "Hello Satella" she greeted with a forced smile "What can we do for you?"
Satella let her eyes travel around the room "I am here so you can invite me for dinner" she simply replied "I just can't understand how it could take you so long to open the door"
"W-What? Dinner?" the blonde burst "But we didn't-" Of course we invite you for dinner Satella" Chrono interrupted her "I'm sorry it took so long to open up, we were both sleeping" he explained with a smile "We will start making dinner soon, how about you come back in about a half an hour, then it will be ready"
"Good enough for me, I'll see you later then" Satella said and exited the apartment again.
Rosette glared at Chrono after he had closed the door "How can you just invite her for dinner?" she asked "She invited herself, she is intruding our privacy" (Or what is it called -.-) she growled "She is as unfriendly as can be"
Chrono walked over and hugged her "Maybe she hasn't got any food or any oven" he smiled "Let's be nice to her okay?"
"Okay, but only if she is nice too" she grumbled.
"That's my girl" he whispered "Let's start making dinner"
