Chapter 16 – Rose

Everything is going well until Andrew shows up. His outfit is a bit complicated to understand, so I told Violet I’ll take care of it. I told her that before I went and slept with him, and now I regret making that decision.

I swallow my pride and anger and make my way to his green room to check up on him.

I open the door and see him dressed in the design I made for him. The pain shoots straight to my heart. He looks absolutely irresistible.

Before I can have a rational thought, Andrew is on me. His lips are on mine, and his tongue is looking for an entry to explore my mouth. I try to resist, but the feeling is so overwhelmingly good that my defenses all collapse, and I’m already wrapping my hands around his neck.

Mistake. Mistake. Mistake. Mistake. My head is screaming and begging for me to stop, but I have lost all control over my body. I always knew it was dangerous to get close to him. There is no hope now that I’m in too deep. All I can do is accept the crushing consequences of my actions. Why is love always the source of my downfall?

When Andrew lets go of me, I wipe my lips of his taste, and I’m too frazzled to know what to do with myself. I busy myself with getting him ready for the show because I’m not letting him or anyone, even myself, sabotage the most important night of my life.

I can feel the anger wafting off him, but my mind is already on auto-pilot. Just get this over with, I tell myself to calm down. I get a hold of my senses until I see Andrew’s knuckles crusting with dried blood. The bolt of pain that shoots through me when he pulls his hand out of mine refuses to go, even long after he has left the room. He won’t let me near him and rightfully so, but I can’t put the image of his bruised hand out of my mind. I let my knees buckle momentarily after he leaves me standing alone in the green room then follow him to the backstage because there is no more time left to waste.

My show is on now, and I let the organized chaos overtake me, checking on models and designs for the final time, and biting my nails as the models walk onto the ramp. I try hard to see people’s reaction to the designs from my spot backstage, but it’s a struggle with all the bright lights illuminating the aisle.

Finally, Andrew is on. “Rose, you’ll accompany Andrew when he goes for the second time as the introduction for the designer,” Violet says in my ear, and I nod.

I know I have reached my limit of hurting Andrew. I take solace in knowing that the show is going well, but it fails to placate me this time. My eyes are locked on Andrew’s hands as he walks in front of me until we reach the end of the ramp.
