I own Garrett, Rosalyn, Mason, Lily and Tommy.
Hope you enjoy the chapter...
Garrett had been lying on his bed and thinking, mostly about the mistake that Rosalyn was making with Tommy. He knew that it shouldn't be bothering him, but he couldn't bear for her to get hurt. All he could do now was wait and hope that Tommy didn't lay a finger on her tonight. The sound of the door shutting was followed by the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Garrett sat up from his bed and saw his younger sister walk past the doorway.
"Lily." He caught her attention.
"What's up?" she asked as she peered around the doorway.
"Did he turn up?" Garrett asked.
"If you mean Tommy, then yes, he did." Lily nodded.
"She went with him then?" the young man raised a brow.
"Yeah, she did." His sister replied.
"Where's he taking her?" Garrett asked.
"Probably some fancy restaurant." Lily shrugged.
"Here's your bracelet. You left it in the car." He told her.
"Thanks, I thought I'd lost it." Lily smiled and took the bracelet.
"No problem." Garrett replied as he walked out of the room.
At the restaurant:
"This is amazing." Rosalyn grinned at the food in front of her.
"Glad you like it." Tommy grinned back at her.
"I like having an excuse to dress up." Rosalyn shrugged.
"You look beautiful." Tommy said as he kissed her hand.
"Thanks. You're looking great too. I saw your workout last week. It was intense." she told him.
"It's worth it. I'm going to be greater than my dad." Tommy said.
"I can believe that." the blonde nodded.
"How else would I get a hot girl like you?" he asked and gave a smirk.
Rosalyn ate her food and listened as Tommy talked, mostly about himself. She didn't really care, as she just sat eyeing how handsome he looked in his slate coloured button down shirt and dark jeans. Hie green eyes looked so alive when he smiled. It was easy for the young woman to get lost in them. She sipped her drink and decided to ask the question that was on her mind.
"So, why did you ask me out?" Rosalyn asked him.
"Because you're hot. I like your attitude." he replied,
"Thanks." she blushed.
"Would you mind if I did something" Tommy asked her.
"Like what?" the blonde asked.
"Like this..." he replied and leaned in to kiss her lips.
She smiled as they broke apart. Tommy continued to eat his food, while Rosalyn savoured the taste of his lips on hers.
Cody was watching a football game on TV with Mason. He turned as he saw his eldest son walking down the stairs. Garrett nodded at his father and brother, heading into the kitchen. He grabbed his jacket and car keys and went out to his car. The young man turned the engine on and pulled out of the driveway, going in the direction of the DiBiase house. He had to make sure that Rosalyn was safe and well.
Ted answered the door when the doorbell rang. He looked surprised to see Garrett, but gestured for him to come in and led him into the living area. Garrett took a seat on the couch beside Ted and let out a sigh. The older man frowned as he sensed that something was bothering Garrett this evening. Deep down, he knew that it was probably to do with Rosalyn.
"Is something wrong?" he asked the young man.
"I just needed to think…" Garrett replied and shook his head a little.
"You know you're welcome here anytime." Ted smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Thanks." He nodded and smiled.
"I'm waiting up for Rosalyn." Ted told Garrett.
"Are you worried?" the young man asked.
"Should I be?" Ted frowned.
"You know what Tommy's like." Garrett shrugged.
"I also know that Rosalyn is a smart girl. She won't be forced into anything." Ted replied.
"I know." Garrett nodded.
"That should be her now." Ted said as the sound of a car door was heard.
He was right, because a couple of minutes later the blonde walked into the room with a smile on her face. She looked confused and a little annoyed to see that Garrett was there too. He smiled and took in her appearance. She wore a teal coloured dress and gold wedge heels. Her blonde hair was in its natural wavy state and she wore minimal make-up. Ted hugged her and went upstairs to bed, telling Garrett to let himself out when he was ready.
"What are you doing here?" Rosalyn asked once they were alone.
"I came to see if you were alright." Garrett replied.
"Well, now you can see." She replied and twirled around in front of him.
"Rosalyn…" he sighed.
"What?" she asked as she squared up to him.
"It's only because I care." Garrett told her.
"Yeah, well Tommy cares about me now." Rosalyn shrugged.
"How can you be so sure?" Garrett asked her.
"Because he kissed me." She replied.
"You can tell that he cares just by a kiss?" the young man looked unconvinced.
"Yes." She replied and folded her arms.
"How many guys have you kissed?" he asked her.
"None of your business." Rosalyn frowned.
"I thought so." He shook his head.
"Thought what?" she asked him.
"You haven't had a proper kiss." Garrett replied.
"I did tonight." She said.
"Did your heart beat faster? Did you feel your knees go weak?" he asked her.
Rosalyn just shook her head and looked at the ground. Garrett didn't know what possessed him, but he lifted her chin and pressed his lips to hers. She didn't push him away or break the kiss. She moved her hands to rest on his chest as he stroked her blonde hair. All of a sudden they broke apart. Garrett didn't know what to say or do now, while Rosalyn looked completely shocked by what had just happened. She pushed him and wiped her mouth with her hand.
"You kissed me!" she hissed.
"I'm sorry, I don't know why I did that." Garrett shook his head.
"I think you should go now." Rosalyn said, pointing to the door.
"I will. I'm glad you're ok." He said.
"Goodbye Garrett." The blonde replied.
"Goodnight Rosalyn." He replied as he walked out of the door.
When he made his way back into his own house, Lily was waiting up for him. She was a little too wise sometimes. She obviously knew that Garrett had been concerned about Rosalyn. The brunette shook her head as he walked into the room. He frowned at his little sister as she scrolled through her cell phone messages. Garrett took a seat beside his sister and waited for her to say what she was going to say.
"You did it again, didn't you?" Lily asked him.
"Did what?" Garrett asked her.
"Pissed her off." Lily frowned.
"Did she tell you that?" he asked his sister.
"In her message to thank me, she wrote something about you being a complete idiot." Lily confirmed.
"I can't seem to do anything right by her." He shrugged.
"You made it a whole lot worse." She told him.
"How?" he frowned.
"She sent me a message saying that idiots like you make her see that losing her virginity to Tommy will be the right thing to do." Lily sighed.
"She said that?" Garrett frowned.
"Read it." Lily said as she handed him the phone.
"Oh jeez…" he sighed.
