Red Strings 🧶 (A Rosénali Story)

xx

Denali's POV:
I let her hand rest on my palm and she shivered.
"Is my hand cold?" I asked.
"No... quite the opposite." She replied, still avoiding eye contact with me.
I took my red string and loosely wrapped it around her right pinkie.

"My mum used to tell me that someone with a red string can help give another a hint about their soulmate."
I stopped and felt Rosé's hand flinch.
"Is something wrong? Did you get a hint?"
"No... well- I don't thin so. It felt like electricity shocked my pinkie, but then I felt really cold. Like ice cold."

"Maybe it's just a myth."
"Have you found your soulmate Denali?"
"No, but I went on a date with Symone last week."
"Did you feel anything?"
"No... there was no chemistry. I didn't feel anything!" I frowned and laid on the floor.
"Maybe I could help you find chemistry..."

Rosé straddled me and softly kissed me on my nose.
"W-what Rosé! What was that for?" I stammered.
"I was just teasing." Said Rosé as she stood up. She smirked and softly chuckled to herself.

Rosé's POV:
Denali stood up too and pushed me against the door and kissed me passionately. I felt heat exude from my body.

Her hands traced on my skin and under my shirt until she reached my back and tugged on my bra strap.

She let go.

"That's how you tease." Said Denali with a smirk as she walked off to her books.

I stood at the door in shock. I never knew Denali could be so forward and the kiss... was everything. I had never craved for something as simple as someone's touch.

"You do realise I just cheated on Andrew again right?" I said as I walked towards Denali.
"Yeah... you started it!" Said Denali as she held up her hands looking quite baffled.
"I'm not complaining though..." I said.

We locked eyes and I could read her thoughts.
She felt guilty for kissing me, but she wanted me.

"I should go." Said Denali as she approached the door. "Tell me how everything goes with Andrew." I stepped to the side and Denali walked out of my room.

After Denali left, I heard a series of 'ooooohs' and 'aaaaahs' from my sisters.
"You guys are in love with each other, aren't you?" Said Jan smiling.
"What would make you think that?" I scoffed.
"Please- you guys are obsessed with each other. It doesn't take a psychic to know." Said Lagoona, who was scrolling on her phone.

I didn't like Denali and she didn't like me. It was just platonic, friendly and flirty jokes... right?

Denali's POV:
I was more confused than ever. I really liked Rosé and I had NO idea why. I liked Symone as a friend, but it was clear she had a crush on me.
I didn't know what to do so I decided to tell Liv and Utica.

I sat near the lake and took in the scenery until I heard footsteps behind me.
Utica and Liv hand in hand approached me and sat next to me on the bench.

"Is something wrong Denali?" Asked Liv.
"I need to tell you guys something."
"What's wrong?" Asked Utica.

"Rosé kissed me."
