Rose Hastington

Currently we're on a meeting with Mr. Boston. He's really nice and funny. He joked a lot with us and even introduce his son Jeremy Boston to us. Jeremy just graduated from business college and he's moving to New York.

Mr. Boston asked Alex , Luke and Max to help him a little bit and they agree. I bet Jeremy will be like these Gold Lifes , he got the face , tall and just.. you know..

Mr. Boston agree to have the deal with us and thank God because we need him.

"Thankyou Mr. Boston" Alex said and we all shake hands him

"You're welcome.. I'm glad to have a deal with you guys , I don't trust people easily but I trust all of you" Jacob Boston said

"Jeremy will move around next month , please help him" He added and we all nodded

"Can I have your phone number?" He suddenly asked me in front of everyone. I looked at him quite shock , he gave his phone to me

"Jeremy.. Rose already have a boyfriend" Jacob said and I turned to him. Say what?!?

"You do?" Jeremy asked me and I shook my head

"Oh boy.. do I have to play an over protective brother now?" Luke blurted and it got everybody laughing except Max. He just looked at me with a blank expression. I gave my phone number to Jeremy and shake his hand one last time before we go

"Thank God he accept it" Alex said as the lift door close

"Yeah" Luke nodded

"He's quite a catch" Alex said and I chuckled

"Dude" Luke smacked Max's shoulder and he just turned to Luke and raised his eyebrows

"You've been so quite" Luke said

"Hungry" Max answered shortly

"Let's eat something , lunch time now" Luke suggested

"Pick Angel before someone hit on her" Alex said and I chuckled lightly

"Chill.. she wore the wedding ring so no worries" I said

"Still Rose , still the fact that she's the Hollywood Princess. Dang it! When we're dealing I'm quite anxious to leave her alone" Alex said and we walked out from the lift.

We walked to the cafe beside Mr. Boston's building to pick Angel up. Alex walked first because he's already anxious

"Alex is just whip big time" Luke commented

"One day you will be like that" I smacked his arn and at the same time I saw Angel sitting with a guy inside the cafe. Alex walked in and giving the guy a big glare. I chuckled looking at that and Alex taking Angel out.

"Let's eat there" Max suddenly let out his voice after all this time he stay silent. I followed where his hand pointing , it's the same restaurant that I want to eat beside the Eiffel Tower.

He looked at me and smile , I can't hide my happiness. He still remember

"Okay" I said

"Alex! You're hurting me!" Angel hissed and I turned to them

"I swear Angel , next time no more leaving you alone" Alex said and Angel pouted

"What happen?" Luke asked

"The ugly guy is hitting on her.. she ignored him but still.." Boys and his possessiveness

"Come let's go" We walked to the zebra cross

"Alex!" Angel hissed and I turned to her to see Alex put his hand on her waist tightly

"What?"

"Oh I'll book another room tonight!" She threatened

"I'll block your credit card this second" Alex smirked and she hissed annoy

"You're unbelievable"

"Of course , how am I going to sleep if you're not there?"

"Hug the pillow" She said coldly

We all crossed the road and walked to the restaurant. Alex and Angel walked first and Luke is busy with phone. I walked on the back with Max but we're not talking

"Thanks" I said

"Uh?" He turned to me not understanding why I say thanks to him

"You pick the right restaurant"

"I just remember you love that so yeah" He said and smiled awkwardly

"Let's go to the Eiffel Tower after checking into the hotel , still up to it?" I asked

"Of course" He smiled and I nodded

Entering the restaurant and we sit on the window so we can see the view of the streets. I sit beside Angel and Alex is across her. Max is across me and Luke sit beside me.

"Rose.." Someone called me and I looked around. My eyes widen , I can't believe that I met Ashton in Paris. I smiled and stand up to hug him.

"Hey , how are you?" I asked cheerly

"I'm good" He hugged me too , after that he looked at the others weirdly. Ashton know the 7 Gold Lifes of course.

"Luke , Alex and Max" He looked at Max

"Hey" They all greeted cooly

"This is Angel , Alex's wife" I introduced her to him and Angel just smiled

"It's good to see you" He said

"Yeah , it's been a really long time" I nodded , suddenly Ashton looked at somewhere and I followed his eyes. He's looking at Max

"Are you two already married?" He blurted and my eyes widen. Max too

"No" I said honestly and Ashton raised his eyebrows

"Change the subject Searan" Max answered and he looked away

"Sorry" He said and I just smiled awkwardly

"Give me your number will you.. I lost yours" Ashton said and I gave him quickly

"You're here for work?" I asked and he nodded

"Yeah.. I'll go back to Miami tonight" After that we just say our goodbyes , I walked back to my chair. Looking at Max but he only stare blankly to the table. I know he hates Ashton will all his heart. He hates it but this is the first time I saw he's controling himself.

He never get this calm..

If he heard Ashton's name , he can be mad. If he met Ashton , he wanted to kill him. The fact that we both not together made him.. just.. you know

Ashton will think that I pick Max than him but I didn't end up with Max..

Suddenly the food came and we all eat. We were talking to each other but not Max , he just nods and listen to our conversation but not respondig anything. Little did he know , I watch him all the time.

I know what he thinks.. I know what he feels.. I know..

From that point.. I know , my love for him is just too strong. By seeing his eyes I know that he's hurt inside..

Max , how about you try a little harder?
