Chapter 11 Nice meeting you...?

ROSELYN JENSEN I gulp and try to calm myself even if my heart is drumming like hell. As if she wanted to come out from my chest and run away. "Get inside."-he said. I suddenly stumble and he grand my hand. When he pulled me up, my hand is in his shoulder. Our lips is just inch away. We are both surprised because of what happened. I took my poise to stood up again. This is embarrassing! "I m sorry. Thank you."-I said to him. "Are you okay? Did you sprain your ankle?" "No. I m okay. I m really clumsy and somehow full of bad lucks in life."-she said. "I can tell."-grandpa. I look at him and my eyes are begging for help. He smiled and take off his sunglasses in front of me for the first time. My eyes are wide open when I saw his blue blazing eyes. Just like me and the woman on the wall. It is a family picture of five people. His parents must be the two people who is sitting on the couch with him. And his grandparents are the two people standing in the back. His eyes is from her mother but his looks is the same as his father. They re like carbon copies. 'Just like what I have expected. His eyes is full of deep sorrow. Is it because of his ex-fiancée. He must have love her and it broke him when she leaves him alone. "Let s go in the dinning hall."-he said. He held mu hand for the first time and we followed his grandpa on their table. I gulp. The food is too much for three people. Even if I full myself to the fullest, this is still a lavish dinner. My goodness, rich people. "Let s eat."-he said. I speak. "I m sorry, Sir. But…can we pray for the moment?" "Okay. Lead then."-he said. I smiled. I lead the prayer and then we started to eat. "So when is the wedding?"-he said. I almost choke myself. They re both in a hurry!! But at least I can enroll this upcoming semester. I can only be late for a single semester only. I have finish the last semester in my sophomore year even mom is in comma. After thy I stop and work full-time. "What do you think?"-he said and look at me. "I knew that Sir Robert knew the real reason behind us. I will be giving the decision to the both of you." "All right then, I want the wedding to be held in a week in your birthday, Crimson." "No problem with me grandpa. Is it civil? That is a short time if we choose another theme of wedding." "I will call your godfather judge Benson Alas." CRIMSON LUCA I nodded and sip some wine. I look at her when I saw that she put the wine on the other side of the table and choose to drink water instead. "You didn t like the wine? Do you like champagne or white wine?"-I ask. She wiggled her head. "I have never taste wine myself. My late father and my mother had never tasted that either. I am good with any other drinks but not in alcoholic drinks. I m sorry."-she said. Grandpa s eyebrows arches. "Well disciplined. Good."-he said. I smiled. "Are we going to held the wedding in the garden?" "No. Let s use one of the cruise that owns by Luca Cruise enterprise."-he said. She almost choke herself again. She is surprised about the extreme preparation of our wedding. She look at me. "Is he serious?"-she whispered. "I am. Tomorrow, go to a fashion boutique and find a wedding clothes for the two of you. Cancel any important meetings you have tomorrow."-he said. "No problem grandpa. I will call Greg later on." "Good. The rest will be handle by the three wedding organizers that I will call tomorrow. The two of you should be ready by then. And you Ms. Jensen, resigned to your jobs and focus on the preparation of your wedding, did you hear me?"-grandpa. "Okay Sir. I understand." "Just call me grandpa. Make sure that you have no problems with your birth certificate for the faster registration of your marriage contract." "Don t worry Sir—I mean grandpa. There is no mistakes with my birth certificates or papers about me."-she said. Grandpa nodded. After the dinner, I told her that she can stay here now. I will ask people to bring her belongings here. "But—I need to pack my things on my own. I will also sale my appliances to have a money that I can put in my bank account."-she said. "Don t worry about that. Use this room until the wedding ceremony. Move in my room after that. Don t unpack your things here because you will stay in my room. Just do what you need to do tomorrow but remember that around 5pm, we will go in this boutique for fitting our clothes for the wedding." "Okay. Got it. Can I go to bed now? I need to go to bed early and process this whole thing."-she said. "No problem. Good night, Ms. Jensen—no I should call you sweetheart. Good night."-I repeated. "Okay…good night."-she said. She opens the door and rush inside. That made me smile. But Dina suddenly speak. She is holding a milk in her hand. She is giving me a meaningful smile. "You ve got a gorgeous wife here, Sir Crimson. Much more than Isabelle. I must say that your taste never change except the fact that you have pick a much better woman. I m talking about the personality, character or attitude. She is miles away from Isabelle s spoiled brat attitude. I m sorry."-she said. "No worries. Is that for her?"-I said and pointed the glass of milk in her hand. She nodded. She gave it to me and even wink on me. "Good night."-she said in meaningful tone. I just sigh and open the door. "Aahhh!"-she said. She covered her chest. She takes off her long sleeve clothes and she is wearing a tube-style bra. I close the door and walk closer. "Should I lend you my shirt? They will look like a dress on you but at least you can freshen up yourself before going to bed."-I said. "Thank you. But at least the first thing you should have done is to face backward or close your eyes. Did you even know that natural law of NO PEEKING?" "Oh, I forgot. Okay. I will put your milk here and I ll pick you a clothes to wear. Wait, your beautiful." "What?! You—" I catch the pillow that she threw and cast it back to bed. I turn back and walk away. I close the door and went to my room. 'What is this? It s hot. I feel hot. This is the first time that I felt this again after seeing a half naked woman. Goodness, what is happening? Crimson, don t act like a dumb. You are acting like a teenager for Pete s sake! I knock on the door after I took a shirt that she can wear. The door opens. "Here s my shirt and this hair blower. You can take a shower if you wanted."-I said. "Thank you. Anyway, I will go and unpack myself after I give my resignation letter to Starbucks and to that BPO company. After that I will go and pack my things. Just tell your men to be stand by and take my things all the way here. I will meet you on that boutique after."-she said. I nodded. "Okay. You said so."-I said. She smiled. "Good night then, Crimson."-she said. I smiled. "Of course. Good night."-I said. She closes the door. I went back in my room and take a short shower. "I will go to the hospital tomorrow and talk to Tristan and Franco. I have to ask some questions about my situation."-I mumbled. After taking a bath , I went to bed and sleep. I have a busy day tomorrow. ROSELYN JENSEN I look at my mother and finally change her clothes successfully. I took a deep breath and speak. "Mom, I m sorry if I had to do this. I can sacrifice myself in exchange of yours. I have to make sure that you will have a good medical treatment until the day you wake up and even your recovery process. You will have the best medical treatment because the man that I ll marry will be the next owner of this hospital. I m sorry mom, just scold me when you wake up okay?"-I mumbled and kiss her palm. "The wedding will be held on Saturday. It s a cruise themed wedding but we will be back on Sunday. I will visit you wearing my wedding dress before we will go to the port. I don t know what exactly will happen but I hope on my next wedding, you are there to walk me in the aisle. I really miss you mom. Please wake up soon, okay?"-I said. Doc Tristan ask me to go in his office. He look at me. "I will be the best man in your wedding, Ms. Jensen." "Huh? You and Crimson are best friends?" "Yes. Congratulations and best wishes. Actually, he ask me about you and your mother s situation. Before he talk to you, he already told the billing station to put the tab of your mother s bills on his name. I knew you re a good person so I m not against of you. But I have to warn you Roselyn."-he said. I look at him with a curious face. What did you mean by that doc?" "Crimson had face so may problems and troubles since he was a kid. The trauma of losing his parents in a car accident where he is also there. He was diagnosed with PTSD at age of 14. The tragic accident that he and his ex-fiancée had gives him a deep wound. His PTSD occurred once again. He is in a deep sorrow and I hope you can help me with this." "Do you want me to help him heal?" "Yes. A wife might help him realized that he is not unlucky at all. That his wealth is not the only thing that he have. What do you think of that?"-he said. "I ll try, but I won t promise. I may not be the one he needs to heal. But I will try."-I said. "Thank you. That is enough for me."-he said. I went to my apartment to make a farewell to my land lady and pack my things. Later on, I saw hi car waiting for me outside the apartment building. He waves at me. I smiled and run to him. "Ready?"-he said. I nodded. We get inside. When we are now inside the boutique. I have this thought. 'Am I not making a bad decision? Am I ready to be a wife in exchange of things that he can give? What if…?
