" I've never been to country Z it seems more populated than country X"said Rosaline looking outside the window as Reinald drove the car and the car stops at a mall.
Rosaline picks a lot of things and then she also gets herself a laptop and some other necessities Louis didn't get for her. Rosaline comes out of the mall looking a lot better and puts the things in the car.
"It's true about shopping for women it brightens their mood"said Reinald.
"You have a sense of humor "said Rosaline.
"You too Missy "said Reinald.
Rosaline suddenly felt free and comforting with Reinald, unlike the king of hell. Rosaline enjoyed getting to see the town and her cheeks looked a bit rosy. Reinald smiles and remembered what Louis says.
"She looks pale and get outside for some air"
Reinald clicks his tongue and felt like laughing at the two of them all he had to do was sit back and watch the show display before their very eyes.
Rosaline comes back home to the lonely mansion and feels a little happier. "I feel a lot happier, thank you Reinald"she said going upstairs to her room with her things. Reinald helped her too. "You didn't have to do that for me I can do it myself, you can go do your thing"said Rosaline, taking the bags from him and then Reinald goes back to his spot in the garden reading a book. Rosaline felt like she was in the old days and suddenly felt sad she bursts into tears and wipes her eyes.
"I'll try to get back on my feet one day and I'll get revenge on the people who killed you"said Rosaline and she mixes some colors and starts painting on the canvas.
She gives the painting to Reinald and he smiles and praises her work.
"Your talent is as beautiful as you"said
Reinald she has painted him in the garden.
"It's quite a masterpiece"said Reinald.
"It's a little gift from me to you"said Rosaline her cheeks had turned a little bit pink.
Days and weeks passed and Rosaline painted a lot of her childhood memories and kept them in her room.
She thinks about Louis and everything that happened in a while, she had stayed a month in his house she wondered what use she was to him. She tried to remember how Louis looked like all she could remember was those eyes that would make her fall into a trance.
Rosaline comes downstairs and looked outside as it rained, "What's the matter?"Reinald asked.
"Um nothing much it rains a lot these days I've been thinking?"said Rosaline
"Thinking about what?" Reinald asked.
"Well about Mr Grey, and that man I saw him torture in the basement that night"said Rosaline.
"Is he a-
"There are some things that you're not supposed to know, just leave it as it is, or you should ask Master Grey yourself"said Reinald.
"I saw him kill five men in front of me apart from that.....what is he?"said Rosaline.
"It's not my place to tell you that Missy"said Reinald.
"I just want to know so I could try to understand him better"said Rosaline.
"I seem to be the center of attention these days "came a familiar voice.
Rosaline pauses and turns around and then she sees Louis behind her looking more handsome than the last time, maybe he got a haircut he was looking at her with his face ashen.
"M...M...Mr Grey "said Rosaline stuttering.
"You seem to pry so much in my affairs "said Louis.
"I don't need you to understand me I just need you to do as I say "said Louis.
Rosaline goes upstairs to her room and closes the door. "Master Grey welcome "said Reinald.
"She looks brighter than before "said Louis going upstairs to his room. He takes off his shirt and then he looks at the red stain on his shirt.
His abdomen was bandaged, and the wound has reopened he sighed and opens the cupboard bringing out a first aid kit and applying some alcohol his body has some scars.
Rosaline felt a sense of fear when she saw Louis she was suddenly reminded of her temporary stay in the mansion she looked at the painting in her room and lies down on the bed curling up.
Louis sits down in the dinning and then sees no sign of Rosaline.
"Is my presence that intimidating?"
Louis asked.
"For people like her the answer is a yes, she's doesn't seem like a problem to me"said Reinald.
"She's not to you"said Louis as he starts eating.
"True she seems more like a solution to me Master Grey"said Reinald implying that he wasn't the one having feelings towards someone who's life he destroyed.
That night Rosaline felt really hungry in her room she looks towards the door and then she changes her mind.
"No I won't go" she said to herself.
But her body was faster than her thoughts she flung the door open and then made her way to the kitchen she didn't bother turning on the lights and then she searches the fridge for something to eat, she finds some take out and and then heats it up and starts eating it.
"Mmmhmm...."she said eating in the dim lit kitchen. When the someone turns on the kitchen lights. Rosaline jolts and starts shaking as she stops herself from screaming her lungs out. There at the door was Louis with an annoyed look.
"I thought it was wild beast"he said his facial expression was not too scary this time especially when one of his brows furrowed.
"What are you doing here?" She said and regretted saying it immediately she finished her sentence.
"Damm what's wrong with me?" She said in her heart.
"I'm supposed to ask you that, it's my house"said Louis.
"I'm sorry I keep disappointing Mr Grey"she said to him without looking at him directly.
"I don't get what you're so afraid of Missy I'm not a demon"he said.
"I-
"Enjoy your meal" said Louis looking disappointed and walks out of the kitchen. Rosaline was surprised at what she just sensed on him. It was loneliness, Rosaline wondered what he was going through. She leaves the food in the kitchen and then heats up some milk she looks at him sitting outside he had eye bags which showed that he had problem sleeping.
" Mmmm Mr Grey I heated up some milk for you"she stuttering approaching him.
"I don't need it"he said immediately.
"I saw you had problem sleeping I thought it would help"she said standing her ground.
Louis glares at her " I said I don't need it" he said.
"Go back to sleep and leave me alone"
Rosaline felt rejected and leaves his presence she drops the milk in the kitchen and runs upstairs.
"You're such an idiot Little Miss too good shoes" said Rosaline.
Louis goes to the kitchen and sees the glass of milk in the counter, his face downcast and he drinks it all up and washes the glass cup.
The next morning
Louis was having breakfast when Rosaline comes downstairs for breakfast with a new style. Louis' Adam apple rolled slightly and he was dazed a little.
She had transformed into a beautiful fairy her polished red nails were attractive and her hairstyle and her sleeved top that has turtle neck with black pants and golden shoes. Rosaline was a real beauty like a model she looked rather flashy that morning with the rings she wore on her fingers like a noble woman looking mature.
"You never let me down"said Reinald as he clicks his tongue and looks at Louis who was eating like nothing happened.
Rosaline didn't bother to look at him and started eating her meal.
Louis stands up and leaves her presence. Reinald smelled the enimity between the two and shakes his head.
"The two of you seem rather moody this morning" he said. Rosaline says nothing and then when she was done she goes to the garden and then starts painting again. Louis was sipping tea looking at Rosaline through the french window painting quietly in the garden. She's so immersed in her work these days she filled the room with different art works. Louis says nothing and then continues staring.
" You stares are going to burn her soon, your eyes are selling you out"said Reinald.
Louis gives him a glare and then walks away, "She should stay away from me as well " Said Louis.
"Now I see why they say love burns" said Reinald chuckling.
