Rose

Rose stared at Tyler, shell-shocked. She’d dreamt of hearing those exact words for over a decade now. Tyler, in love with her. A dream come true. Only reality didn’t feel as right as the dreams. Thinking about it, she hadn’t daydreamed about being with Tyler for some time, her heart had been somewhere else. A flash of blue eyes invaded her mind. Ethan’s eyes. Georgiana’s eyes. Rose sobered up at once.

“How did Georgiana take the news?” Rose asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Georgiana?” Tyler seemed dumbfounded. “What does Georgiana have to do with any of this?”

“I’m just curious. After all the strings she pulled to organize your romantic gateway in France, she must’ve been pretty stone-faced when you dumped her.”

Tyler stared back at her in confusion.

“You did dump her, didn’t you?” Rose pressed.

The dark shadow that passed over his face was enough of an answer.

“This is exactly why it’ll never work,” Rose said, turning away.

“Rose, if this is about Georgiana, don’t worry. I can break up with her in a second.”

“So why haven’t you already?”

“Rose, it would’ve been awkward. We were in Paris, living in the same house—”

“And did you sleep with her while you were in Paris, living in the same house?”

Again, she could read the answer on his face.

“It didn’t m—”

“Don’t say it didn’t mean anything.”

Tyler stood silent, petrified in the middle of the living room.

“But Rose, I didn’t cheat on you. It’s not like we were together. If you give me a chance, I would—”

“It doesn’t matter if we were together or not, don’t you see?” Rose could hardly keep it together. Tyler’s declaration of love had thrown her off, and now he was making her so angry. Rose didn’t like how worked up she was getting. “You say you’re in love with me. You say you’ve spent six months thinking about me nonstop. But that didn’t stop you from sleeping with your girlfriend, and that’s the problem.”

“But we weren’t together,” Tyler protested.

“It’s irrelevant. Love should be enough for you not to want to fool around with whoever else is available.” Rose’s voice trembled. “You shouldn’t want to sleep with other people if you’re in love with me. Period.”

“You’re not being fair. Why can’t you give me another chance?”

“Because if you blew it, then we’d be over for good, and I don’t want that. Plus…” Rose hesitated just for a moment. “I’m kind of seeing someone else.”

“Who?” Tyler was suddenly cold.

“Ethan.”

The name took a moment to register, and Rose witnessed the shock in Tyler’s eyes when it did.

“Georgiana’s brother?” Tyler hissed. “Are you kidding me? He’s a bigger player than I am.”

“He’s not, at least not with me.”

Tyler snorted. “Why does he get a chance and I don’t?” His tone was bitter.

“Because if I break up with him, it’s just that: a breakup. If we broke up, I’d lose my best friend too, and I don’t want that to happen. Ever.”

“It’s not fair.” Tyler pouted. “I would never hurt you, Rose, you have to believe that.”

“Tyler.” Rose moved closer to him.
