Chapter 19.
Work was hell. Little Sheda was driving the young blonde insane, and the other children hadn't got anything better to do, than to do it all worse. They thought Sheda was cool. They even came up with the great idea to imitate Sheda. When she did something the others thought was funny, they did the same thing, no matter what it was.
When Sheda told Rosette she didn't want cereals for breakfast and wanted muffins instead, the others wanted the same.
Sheda was all in all the born politician. Joshua couldn't help but laugh when the little girl commanded everyone around, so they could get what they wanted.
Rosette was relieved every time she got home. She plopped onto the couch and lay there till Chrono called her. She would then tell him everything that had happened during the day. She scolded him every time he laughed at her.
"When I come home I can give you a massage, love" he laughed once, before they hung up. In her opinion that wouldn't be too bad.
She had just hung up, when a loud knocking echoed through the apartment. She got up from the couch and walked out to open the door.
Hello Rosette" Aion smiled and gave the blonde a hug. Then he entered the apartment without her saying anything "Uhm... hi Aion"
"So how's it going?" he asked and let himself fall onto the couch where she had been sitting just a few minutes earlier.
"Uhm, fine... what about you?"
"I'm simply great" he grinned and patted the place next to her. She sat down and looked at him. He looked back at her with serious eyes and said "You don't like Satella do you?"
Rosette faked a smile "It's not that I hate her... but I'm sure we will never be friends" she replied.
Aion nodded and then looked thoughtful "I will take her here when Chrono comes home... then we can have a little double date... and I will take no no as an answer" he got up and stretched. Rosette's eyes widened "Aion, I don't think me and Satella will be able to-"
"I said no no" he cut her off "A double date it will be"
Rosette sighed frustrated "Did you come up with that idea?" she asked.
He shook his head "No, it was my little honeymuffin's idea" he replied "Don't forget to tell Chrono about it... now; I have to go now... I have an appointment with the doctor and Satella said she wanted to drive me there"
"How is your illness?" she asked, suddenly worried about him. He smiled at her though "Don't you worry about that, I just need some stronger medicine that's all"
"Aion... how did you and Satella get together anyway? What did she do to you?"
Aion chuckled "She did nothing... it was simply faith... She was there, I was there, we met on the stage and sang "Time of my Life" together..." Aion told her "Then we came closer and closer... till we at last found a little place outside on the balcony"
Rosette didn't like where this was going.
"I told her how beautiful she was and then our lips met" he looked so happy "I had no opportunity to get a drive home, she was a little drunk and so was I to be honest... so she simply took me with her home and showed me her apartment... and maybe a little more than that"
Rosette had been right, she hated where this had gone.
Aion took a look at the watch "Oh my, it's late already... I better hurry or else I'll be late"
He said bye and headed for the door. Rosette got up and followed him "Bye Aion" she grumbled and glared at the opposite door.
"Bye bye" he called back before he walked down the stairs out of her sight.
She locked the door and growled curses upon curses on the rich snob. She took a look out the window and sighed "How can I ever get rid of that irritating woman?" she grumbled and crossed her arms over her chest.
The next day she had trouble with Sheda again. The little girl wanted to make experiments and had taken a whole bunch of different things to run tests on.
Her little companions helped her of course and so, one soon was red from top till toe with ketchup. A second had his face all painted black. A third had drunk from about five bottles of alcohol and was now dead drunk and puking all over the place. And so it went on and on and on...
In the end Rosette, Leon and Mrs. Jean had had enough and told the little girl to stop testing and start playing something instead. Sheda had grinned at them "Okay" she had replied and run away to her other friends.
Rosette walked into Joshua's room. The boy hadn't been feeling that well and had to stay in bed. She smiled at him when she entered his room "Hey Josh... How are you?" she asked and sat down on the edge of the bed. Joshua smiled back up at her "A little better" he said, and then coughed.
She stayed with him for a while until he fell asleep. She stroked his blonde hair and then got up and left.
Leon waited outside the door for her "Hello there" he said.
"Hi" she replied back.
"I want to ask if you are interested in a nice evening with me and some friends?"
She sighed frustrated "Listen Leon... I have a boyfriend and am not interested in you... could you please just leave me alone?"
Leon looked taken aback "How can you resist me? No one else ever could"
"That's because of that enormous ego of yours" she grumbled and side stepped around him to walk outside. He followed her though "So if I change, then you would say yes?"
"Grrrr..." she turned around and bonked him hardly on his head "I SAID NO DAMMIT, NOW BUG OFF OR I'LL HIT YOU EVEN HARDER"
Leon scrambled off from the angry blonde in a hurry and stayed away from her the rest of the day.
"You shouldn't shout like that in front of a six year old" Sheda said from behind the blonde "It isn't very polite"
"GO PLAY SOMETHING" Sheda hurried off, not wanting to anger the blonde more than she was.
When Rosette got home that afternoon, Chrono didn't call like he always did. She waited for it, but nothing happened "That is strange... is he too busy today?" she wondered and walked into the kitchen to make some dinner.
"Now what should I eat today?" she thought and looked through the fridge.
She didn't notice the dark shadow in the living room.
She found some tomatoes, but they had already something white and furry covering their surface "Yuck" she grimaced and threw them away. She found a cucumber and started cutting it into slices.
The shadow moved closer to her, but she still didn't notice.
She gasped in horror and half surprise when something suddenly wrapped itself around her waist and pulled her closer to a warm surface and she suddenly heard the words "Hello love" being whispered into her ear.
"CHRONO!!! How dare you sneak up on me like that???" she growled and hit him on his head. He laughed and nuzzled her neck lovingly "I missed you" he whispered. She sighed and narrowed her eyes at him over her shoulder "Why are you home so early anyway? I thought you first would be home tomorrow"
"I missed you too much?" he smiled and looked at her with his innocent ruby eyes. She narrowed her eyes "You could at least have called me..." she grumbled "But I think I missed you too"
"Only you think?" he pouted "Here I even went and bought you something nice and that's all I get?"
She rolled her eyes and pecked his lips "Stop pouting already" she grumbled. He grinned, then pulled her into the living room, sat on the couch with her and then placed a giant and heavy bag on her lap. She looked at him questioningly, but he only smiled and said "Open"
She shrugged and started pulling something out of the bag. It was full of beautiful figures and stuff. She grimaced as she looked at him "It isn't from the apartment or house of that friend of yours is it?"
Chrono chuckled "No, I found it in an antique shop"
"That's good" she smiled and continued to pull out stuff. When she was done she asked him "Where are we going to place all those things?"
"Somewhere" he simply replied "But that wasn't all I had for you" he slid his hand into his pocket and pulled a little box out of it "I hope you'll like it... I saw these and thought this would be perfect for you"
She took the box and slowly opened it. Inside was a pair of beautiful earrings. They were shaped like roses and were made of red crystal. She noticed though, that she didn't have holes in her ears though "I can't wear them love" she told him.
He smiled "We go out and fix this problem tomorrow... Do you at least like them?"
"Yes I do... Thank you very much Chrono" she said and leaned against him. He kissed her cheek and sighed.
"Was it hard?" she asked softly "He was your friend after all"
"Only a little... we lost contact after an incident once..."
"What incident?" she asked and looked at him.
"Not now... I'm tired" he grinned and yawned widely "Sleep?"
"Okay... tell me tomorrow?"
"Sure" he pulled her closer and gave her a long sweet kiss. When they lay in bed, Chrono draped an arm over her and pulled her closer "I really missed you" he whispered. She giggled "It was only a week"
"I don't care" he pouted and tucked her face under his chin "I still missed you" then he sighed and soon fell into a deep slumber. Rosette lay awake for a while, thinking about that stupid double date. It didn't take long for her to fall asleep as well though.
AN: So mushy... but I need some happiness in my life...
