The Monster's Rose

4

"The trouble is, you think you have time."

Roseanna

"You look beautiful...."

"I'm happy that we are finally together... I can't believe that you are here." The woman said turning towards the man she loves.

"Believe love... Believe I'm here with you... I'm not going to leave you again..."

"I will die if you leave me." There was an underneath strong promise when she said that.

"Ssh... Don't say those words. I don't feel good when they come from you." The man feared whenever he hear the word die from his lady's mouth.

"Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, I can't wait for another century."

"It's surreal that you waited for a century."

"I will be waiting if it is you, my love is real so as you."

"Hmm... You look handsome."

"I know the minute I smelled your arousal."

"Ugh!" the man laughed pulling the woman he is talking with close to him. He held her possessively and protectively as if she would fly away if he unwrapped his arms around her.

The woman leaned into him, inhaling his manly scent, she closed her eyes as she wanted to be in his arms like that forever.

"We are going to be late if we stay here." the man whispered slowly.

"Few minutes." The man hummed softly patting her neatly done hair. A sign of affection which he has never done to any woman.

"You are becoming warm and gentle day by day."

"Only for you, the monster fell in love with you. He wants to show his love."

"I love him too..."

"You better or else the monster will make you."

The woman giggled in response knowing the hidden meaning behind those words. She knew the monster would do anything to impress her, protect her, love her and hold her. Eventually, she would fall in love with him.

"I don't want anything to happen between us," the woman said.

"Hmm... I thought so much is going to happen between us, like we will get married, our kids, our kingdom and our love," he said but he is aware of what she is saying, he doesn't want to scare her. He is trying to console her nervousness and fear in her.

"You going to marry me?"

"Yes, mano ponia (my lady)."

"Oh."

"I will promise you that nothing is going to make us apart. I will protect you and promise a better future as a husband," the man said sincerely cupping the woman's face in his rough hands. Placing his forehead against her's. He promised to himself that if anything happens to her he would never leave anyone alone, he would haunt the person and kill him tearing his body limp by limp. He doesn't want any harm coming towards his lady... The lady he loved with all his heart and soul. She was his... His monster's forever love and eternity.

"We are going to face everything as one. I'm going to be there for you even if you like it or not," she said as a tear slipped from her right eye; a tear of joy and happiness she is feeling. The man took a sharp inhale as they are very foreign to him. He never loved a person and having someone saying all the words which hold great love and meaning is melting the monster inside him.

"Rose... Rose... Rose... Wake up Rose!" I was startled, I opened my eyes to see a scowling Kyra.

"What?" I ask grumpily turning away.

"Don't you have college to go to? You aren't waking up for the past twenty minutes. I have been trying to wake you up but you don't wake up at all. You are turning into Caspian," Kyra scolds pulling the blanket off me.

"Sorry Kyra, I was in a deep sleep."

"Get up and get ready. You will be late today."

"I don't have the first period." I removed the rest of the blanket and crossed my legs. I closed my eyes and tried to remember what I saw in my dreams. It felt so real, I can still hear their voices. I didn't see their faces, maybe I saw but I couldn't remember. Their voice is ringing in my mind. Who are they? Why did I see them in my dream? Why do I feel like there's so much meaning behind the dream?

"Rose your breakfast is on the kitchen aisle. Caspian left for the college, Hayes is going to be there. Ayren is out doing pack work. I will be leaving now." I nodded my head wrapping a hairband around my hair.

"Caspian left so early?" I ask her.

"Yup, he got a call from a girl and he went to pick her up I guess," she answers.

"Okay, I will meet him later." Kyra left the room.

I need to paint it before I forget it, I can't remember how they look like but I can paint their figures. The man is tall, far beyond what a normal human height is. The woman is tall but she only reached his shoulder blade. For a normal person like me, I would barely reach his chest.

I walked into my bathroom, I used the toilet to finish my morning duties. I brushed my teeth and took a shower before stepping out with a fresh pair of jeans and a grey sweatshirt. I put on my flip flops and searched for Milla.

"Milla, can you make me a cup of coffee," I ask politely when I found her in the kitchen.

"Regular one or?"

"Same but only one spoon of sugar."

"Okay." I took the breakfast plate Kyra said about and sat down.

"You are attending the pack meeting?" Milla asked.

"Pack meeting? There is a pack meeting today?" I ask her in surprise.

"You don't know? Strange everyone knows about this. Maybe you don't know because you weren't there yesterday night for dinner nor in the morning for breakfast."

"Hmm..."

"Ayren is taking good care of the pack in the absence of king and queen. I'm sure he is going to be a good leader," Milla said.

"True."

"Where is Hayes? Kyra said he was there."

"Allen was here with his kids, Hayes went out with them." I nod my head taking the coffee cup.

"Thank you."

"Where is your mate?" I ask her about Jay.

"He went with Ayren, Ayren was angry regarding something." She takes the seat beside me while I eat my food.

"Angry? Did something happen? Or did the rogues cross our pack borders?" I ask stopping eating.

"I'm not sure about that but seems like something happened. The witches are constantly using our pack border roads. Everyone thinks something is going on for sure as witches don't usually use the roads to travel," Milla said.

"Witches?"

"Yeah, one of them even flirted with Duke."

"Woah."

"Be careful when you are going to college, Jay isn't allowing me to go out alone," Milla said.

"Yeah."

"Aren't you attending the meeting?" Hayes asked.

"I will, I still have three hours. I will be there on time. I want to paint something, say the same thing to others. I don't want anyone to disturb me, don't enter my studio."

"Okay! But keep your phone with you," he said walking away.

I rubbed my face with my hands before going to the side where I kept the sheet that I'm going to use. I picked it up and carefully placed it on the wooden canvas.

I brought all the oil paints I need along with brushes and pencils. I want to do an oil painting of the dream. I want to use so many colours as I saw so many colours in my dream. It's a conversation between two lovers and I want it to be colourful and full of love.

The conversation held many promises and love. I don't know who they are but they seemed happy. For a moment I thought that was real but I know it's just another dream. I want that dream to live in my painting. I want to know what happened to them next. Did they marry? Did they have kids? Like nothing came in between them, right?
