C2 Innocent Love

“Mom!”

"Here, my girl.” My mom, Mrs. Lilly, is working on my birthday party. She’s a beautiful and stunningly growing woman. We’re very similar, with a face not in our thoughts. She hates the Parker family, which means Ronald's family.

My mom is an entrepreneur. She loves flowers; that’s why she started a business with her own perfume. When I was a child, my mind was always curious about flowers, and here I’m thinking of taking one step further in the perfume business, but my dad says you need to complete your studies first.

"Mom, I told you I wanted a simple party, but this is...” There is so much decoration and so many guests. I told my mom I wanted just my friends, but she invited me to the whole college. She doesn't like to show off, but it’s her love for me.

“This is what? Oh, come on, my girl, it’s not a big deal, and it's better for you to take it as a habit because.” Oh, there she is again, giving me lectures on parties and class society.

Blah blah

"Lilly, you’re talking with walls.” My mom stops talking with my dad’s voice. She narrows her eyes on me and raises her brows.

"Dad, please don't, and by the way, where’s my gift?” Dad came forward and kissed my head. His warm smell of love is always pure and blessed.

“Happy birthday, my little Rosee Posee. This is for you.” Oh, my god.

“Dad I don’t. I can’t thank you.” He gave me my own car. Seriously. My feet start bouncing.

"Carter, you can’t. She needs to learn.”

“Mom, I know how to drive. Dad already taught me.” Mom never knows that dad gave me secret lessons about the car. Here, she was shocked.

“Carter, you’re giving her so much.” She grabbed my car keys, but my dad snatched them from her and gave them back. Without listening to them, I ran to where my car was standing. It’s a beautiful BMW.

“Dad!” I shouted with full force, and both looked at my side.

“I love you.” Both smile, and I know Mom is faking because she knows how much she loves me.

Later, when night came, my party was already blowing. Music, dance, food, and, of course, drinks. My friends and colleagues are here, but Jessie and Ronald never came. My eyes are always on the door. There are so many wishes and gifts, and the best gift goes to my friend Annie.

She is my best friend. When I started school, she was with me, and now we’re in college. She’s like my family.

After I said goodbye to all my friends, I took two plates of cake and sent a message to Jessie.

Me: Cake I want to eat.

Jessie- Hell Yes! God, you’re my saver.

Me: Coming to open your window.

It’s our secret that in the late nights she came into my room or I went there. Sometimes we study and sometimes we do other stuff, and dad knows about me and Jessie. Like mom, he never stops us. But when Ronald came, it was a different thing for us. He spent nights in my arms. We talked and kissed, but he never took the next step. I want him, but there’s now nothing between us.

It’s early winter, but the cold wind is giving me shivers. I stumbled with plates while climbing. I knocked on the window, and she opened the glass. But before she took my hands, she snatched the plates from my hands.

“Hey, it’s not fair.” But she was gone.

“Help yourself.” She whispers aloud. It’s dark in her house, and everyone is sleeping. Ronald is sleeping.

“You missed my party.” She stops while eating.

“You know, Mrs. Laura, I hate her. She tries to control our lives, and she’s doing very well with Ronald, and he’s very dumb because he’s blind.” Her hate showed on her face. There’s everything wrong.

“It’s fine. But I missed you both.” While she eats, I sit in bed and try to call Ronald, but he never picks up. It’s my birthday, and I’m still waiting for my wish from Ronald. Hate or love, but he’s my first love. But today he’s not around, and I know he’s gone with friends for some fun or with girls.

I stop calling him and sit. But wait, and just wait. Every second is heavy for me. He never came home. My eyes are on the door, but nothing.

After that, I left Jessie while eating. When I was walking toward my home, someone grabbed me by the elbow and stopped me. When I turn, Ronald is standing there. But he’s bleeding. His eyes swallow, and blood comes from his mouth.

“Ron. What happened? You’re..bleeding.” He hissed with pain when my hand landed on his cheek. God, he’s swallowed with bruises.

“It’s nothing; I just fight.” He takes a step back from me, and the warm, swallowing feeling from his cheek left.

“You’re hurt.”

“You’re hurting me more.” It’s nothing in comparison to the pain that you gave me. The pain of watching you kiss someone and the pain of watching you have sex in front of my eyes, and when I called, you asked me where you were, and you just lied.

“Here, happy birthday, Rose.” He never called me Rose. It hurts.

“Thank you.”

“I... I saw you from the window. You’re looking happy without me.” Never. Open your eyes, please.

"Yeah, it’s my birthday, and you know my mom.” Before I finished, he grabbed my face between his hands and rested his head against my head.

“It’s hurting that you’re ignoring me and leaving me alone. Don’t put distance between us. Don’t kill me with your hate.” Why does it hurt? I can’t handle his pain.

“I love you, my Rosee Posee. I can’t live without you. Let’s go somewhere else where just you and me. I promised you I would never regret it.” A single tear fell on earth. The tears of pain. He never understands that it’s difficult to forget about that night.

Suddenly something happened, and it happened so suddenly that Ronald fell to earth.

“How dare you touch my daughter with your dirty hands?”
