Chapter 12
I spend Sunday morning sleeping in a little. I didn’t want to leave until midday. The thought of getting out of bed and facing Vince gave me anxiety. After our little cuddling session in the kitchen, there were lots of eyes on us. Mrs Callum’s sister Mandy even cornered me and asked if something was going
I gave her the same reasoning I gave to Taylor and myself. I finally couldn’t take all the questioning anymore and ran upstairs when no one was watching. I hid in Taylor’s bedroom and didn’t realise when I passed out. Was Vince really talking about me last night? Was I that special someone? I shook my head and cleared my thoughts. It doesn’t matter! Let’s forget about all that.
Taylor was still sleeping so I quietly got into the shower. After washing up I felt a little better. I got dressed in an oversized sweater and some jeans and grabbed my things. It was 10 am and I had some time before I left. It was a gloomy day outside. As I got to the bottom of the stairs I could smell bacon cooking. My tummy did a happy flip. I left my bag at the door and walked into the kitchen. Mrs Callum was cooking the bacon and there were some pancakes as well.
“Good morning sunshine. Would you like some breakfast?” she asked when she saw me.
“Morning Mrs Callum. Yes, please! That smells amazing” I said and grabbed a glass for some orange juice. She pulled it 2 plates and plates bacon and
pancakes on the 2 plates and then made some eggs.

“So where did you disappear to last night? Vince and you became the hot topic just by the way” she said and laughed a little.
“Yeah and that’s why I disappeared. Too many questions and not enough people believing me”
She finished dishing the food and passed me a plate and grabbed the other one.
“You wanna come to join me at the table?” She asked and walked towards the dining area. I grabbed my food and drink and followed her.
She sat on one side and I sat opposite her. There wasn’t anyone else around.
“So then, is there something happening between you two?” She asked and I choked on my drink.
“No, Mrs Callum. It’s nothing like that. Vince was quite upset yesterday so when he needed comfort I was there for him. If I’m correct he was out with some girl on Friday night” I said and hoped that made my brain believe I hadn’t overheard Vince’s conversation.
“Ah right, that’s where he disappeared too then. For a second last night, I was so happy. I thought you two had finally gotten together. That would have been amazing sweetie. Vince does really admire you”
Admires me? Is that what they are calling it these days. I just smiled at Mrs Callum and started another topic.
We chatted away over our meal and Mrs Callum made me wish even more that I was her daughter. I couldn’t remember the last time my mother and I had shared a meal. Mrs Callum’s phone started ringing. She excused herself to take her call. Edward appeared and cleared our plates. I walked back into the kitchen and Edward was shaking a protein shake.
“Who’s that for Eddy?” I asked. Some he refused to call us by our nicknames we started to call him by a nickname.
“It’s for Master Vince. He’s in the gym working out and has a shake before breakfast” he said and started to walk out with the shake.
“Hey, Eddy. Can I take them to him? I’m about to leave so I can say bye as well” I walked up to him.
“Sure Miss Rosalie. You know your way?” I nodded and he handed me the cup.
I walked down the hall to the back of the house. Attached to the back where the pool was, Mr Callum had made a little gym. As I got closer I could hear music playing. I opened the door and there was Vince. He was doing pull-ups and had his back to me. The boy was fine! He didn’t have a shirt on and all his muscles were on show. I walked in and stood there watching him. He finished his last set and dropped to the ground. Damn even his ass was fine. He turned around and jumped a little when he saw me.
