Chapter 130
“ I guess so . How does this even happen ? Like what if Max is just overreacting ? I admit that yes , there is a slight poll , but it’s nothin
feel about Blake . ” I sat across from Rocky and snuggled into a pillow .
“ This mating thing is no joke , Rose . People go crazy because it’s your one true love . I suggest you and Blake look at rohoming . Once Taylor and I finish thi bonding , we’re going to move into my place with mum . Maybe you and Blake can find somewhere new too
Maybe Rocky was right . Blake and I didn’t even share à room here .
“ Maybe you’re right . A new place could be a fresh start for us . ” I looked down at my cup .
Would a new place solve our Max problem ? He had just managed to get into the apartment without any issues , so what would stop him from entering out home . I just wanted him to understand that I didn’t want to be with him . I wanted him to stop this childish behavior and maybe just be my friend .
“ Rosy …. ” I looked up , and Rocky looked worried ,
“ You sure you’re okay ? ”
“ No , I’m not . But today is usually the day I’m not okay . Just had a few extra hurdles . ”
“ Well , you know Taylor , and I would still like to go out for drinks tonight if you’re up for it . ” He smiled at me . The true Rocky “ P’m here for you ” smile .
His contiguous smile made me laugh .
“ Yes , I would love to . We can’t miss our annual let’s get drunk day . ”
“ Can I join you ? ” Blake’s voice came from behind us .
I turned to find him looking at the cake on the counter .
“ Wow , he really is trying hard , huh ” he threw his jacket and tie on the barstool and came over to sit next to me .
“ How do you always know it’s not me ? ” He put his arm over my shoulder and tilted his head to the side .
“ I can’t explain it . But I know . My body knows it’s not you . You’re warm and fuzzy and make my insides all wobbly . As much as I get comfortable with Max , it’s not the same as how I am with you . Especially if he gets close to my mark . ” I looked up at Blake , and he had a smile on his face . His eyes were glassy and filled with love .
“ You don’t know how happy you make me . ” He brought his hand up and cupped my face .
“ Okay ! Time for me to go . I’ll see you guys for drinks tonight . ” Rocky got up and walked towards the door .
“ Rockz , hang on . I have to talk to you and Rosy , ” Blake called out and got up .
Rocky came back and sat next to me .
Blake walked over to his jacket and pulled out a piece of paper.
“ I have a proposal for you . Both of you . I think it’s time we get you a bodyguard , Angel . With Max just showing up whenever he wants , I need to know you’ll be okay when I’m not around . ”
“ I don’t have any more enemies . Now that Novo is dead , I’m sure I’ll be fine , so no need for a bodyguard I looked between Rocky and him .
someone that wanted revenge on me “ Unfortunately for you , I have enemies . More than you’ll be able to count . When you disappeared last week , I thou had taken you . That’s why I called Max . He’s good with finding supernatural stuff . Last week was a wake – up call for me , I was just lucky it was just a small gangster that took you My enemies are way more powerful and dangerous . I need to have someone that I can trust to keep an eye on you . So , Rocky , how would you like to do that job for me ? ” He turned towards Rocky and handed him the piece of paper .
“ Of course I’ll pay you for it . I understand it’s a full – time job , and you’ll have to quit your current job . So I make sure I’ll look after you . ”
Rocky opened the paper , and his laws dropped . He looked up at Blake and then down at the paper .
* Dude . Are you fuxking serious ?! Fusk , this is like twice the amount I would make in a year , ” he exclaimed .
“ I know . I can’t leave you at a disadvantage . You’ll be looking after my most prized possession . It would help if you had an incentive to make sure so , okay at all times . Besides , you are my brother – in – law . I gotta keep you on my side ” Blake laughed , and Rocky joined him .
“ Hey , hey ! Do I get a say in this ?! ” Rocky and Blake sobered up
looked at me .
“ No , ” they both said in unison .
“ We both know what a baby you can sometimes be , so I accept this job .
No
people’s dirty toilets ! ” Rocky started laughing again .
“ Well , Fuxk you both . I’m going ” I got up and started walking towards my
room .
A pair of arms wrapped around my waist and held me back .
“ Hey , let me go ” I struggled , trying to get free .
“ Rocky , could you please give the birthday girl and me some privacy ” Blake laughed .
“ Yes , Boss . ” Rocky saluted and started laughing . Ho
y
in
gave me a wink and walked out of the apartment , closing the door behind him .
I stopped struggling and sighed in defeat , knowing I couldn’t get away .
“ Don’t sigh , Angel . I have a little present for you , and I don’t think Rocky would have wanted to see that ” he chuckled , turning me around to look at him .
I crossed my arms and narrowed my eyes at him .
