"Are you sure that I won't get any food poisoning?" Rose hesitated as Seth raised the spoon to her mouth - ready to feed her his cooking. Seth nodded. "You're the one who asked me to cook for you," he said. "Yes, but I just want to make sure," she said and stared on his cooking. It looked fine but was still unconvincing. 

"I've been cooking for you all morning," Seth told her and sounded a little dissapointed. Rose was still hesitating before she turned her eyes to him. He was doing that cute puppy eyes that was impossible to be resist. "Fine," she gave in and opened her mouth. Seth grinned and he feed her. Rose chewed his cooking slowly and didn't say anything.

"How is it?" Seth asked hopefully and beamed on her. Unfortunately for him, his soup was the worst soup that Rose ever tried. It was salty, atrocious and the taste was impossible to be described. But Seth was beaming on her with a hopeful expression until she didn't have the heart to say the truth. "It's good!" Rose lied and forced herself to swallow everything.

"Seriously?" Seth widened his eyes. Rose nodded and tried her best not to throw up. He smiled and stared on the soup. "You're the first person who ever said that. My sister tried my cooking once and she threw up right after she ate it," he said, looking into the bowl. "Wonder how it taste," he wondered and wanted to try his cooking.

"Don't!" Rose stopped him, raising both her hands. She seized the bowl from him. "You cooked this for me so you can't eat it," she said. Seth wrinkled his nose. "I just want to try a little bit. If you want more, I can make for you," he said and tried to reach for the bowl. "I'm hungry and I don't want to wait for another five hours," Rose lied again as she was afraid that Seth would know that his cooking tasted like a soap.

"You're such a buffalo," Seth sulked. "I just want to try my own cooking," he crossed his arms to his chest. Rose smiled innocently at him. Seth stared on her and said, "You said you're hungry so eat it," 

She stared on the bowl and recalled how it tasted. There's no way she would be stuffing more of it into her mouth. The taste was just unbearable. "I'm not hungry anymore but I don't want you to eat it. It's mine," she said. Seth was taken aback. "You're so weird," he stared on her like she's an alien.

Rose gave another innocent smile at him. "Oh and Lily's coming. She's worried about me so she's visiting me. Is that okay with you?" she asked. Seth nodded. "It's fine," he agreed. "Alan's coming too. We're going to watch some old classic movie for our class project,"

"Can we join in?" she asked, blinking her eyes. "Please.. My bedroom is so boring. At least, you have a TV,"

"You'll be sleeping halfway through the movie, Rose" he laughed. "You only like Freddy Krueger, don't you?"

"Still, it's more fun rather than sitting here, doing nothing," Rose curled her lips. "Please, please, please. I promise you that I won't be bothering you," she beseeched, shaking his arm. Seth sighed.

"Fine," he said boredly.

~~

"Rose!" Lily walked into her bedroom with a worried expression. Rose smiled at her and she was sitting on the bed. "I'm so worried about you. Are you okay?" Lily said and hugged her. Rose let her go and gave her an assuring smile. "I'm fine. I don't know why is everyone panicking like I'm going to die," she joked.

"It's not funny," Lily stressed her words. "I was so worried when you called. I thought you were going to kill yourself," . Rose laughed. "I might do that if he stayed in Paris for another few days," she said, half joking, half serious. "Seth's still angry at you? I can't believe Alex would do that to you," Lily asked and frowned as she mentioned Alex's name. 

Rose smiled. "No. He may look like a jerk and act like an angry monkey most of the time but he's a kid inside," she said in awe, recalling every single beautiful memories with a soul named Seth Larston.

Their funny first meet that involved spilling coffee, their first meet-the-parents session which ended up terribly. Then, their royal wedding even it was not how she hoped for a wedding. Their first movie night that showed Seth's true color. She missed their first dance, first night sleeping together, first date and many more precious memories that Rose would remember for the rest of her life.

Rose awaken herself from her daydream and tapped Lily's lap. "Let's go. Alan and Seth is waiting for us," she stood up to her feet. "Alan and Seth?" Lily repeated, bewildering. Rose nodded and then she realised that she haven't told her about their plan. "We're going to watch some old movie. Seth's class project," she explained. "You don't mind, do you?"

Lily didn't say anything and she was hesitating. Rose held both her hands. "It'll be fine," she convinced her and pulled her up. Lily followed her best friend towards Seth's bedroom which is just infront of hers. "Wow, so his bedroom is just infront of yours?" Lily mused. 

Rose nodded and opened the door of his bedroom. "Cool, isn't it?" she smiled and pushed the door open. "We're here!" she screamed and walked into his bedroom with Lily holding her hand. Nothing changed since the last time she visited his bedroom. They found Alan and Seth at his study table and they looked busy.

"You shouldn't be shouting, Roseline. You're still sick," Seth frowned, turning his roller chair to face her. Rose looked at Lily. "I told you that everyone is acting like I'm going to die soon," she joked annoyingly. Alan laughed and turned his chair to face them. "Seth care about you. He's soft inside," Alan winked playfully at Seth. Rose blushed.

"Shut up," Seth hit his back. "Let's get started now and you, Rose," he pointed his finger at her. "Don't ever try to sit on the floor or you'll get cold," he instructed. "And if you need anything just poke me or something,"

"He loves you," Alan mouthed mutely behind him. Rose and Lily laughed. Seth turned his eyes sharply at him and shook his head. He stood up to his feet and motioned towards the TV while Alan skipped towards them. "Hi," he smiled at Lily and offered his hand. "I'm Alan Brooke. The hottest guy in school,"

Lily and Rose exchanged looks and Rose laughed. Lily took his hand. "Lily Downs," she told him her name. Alan nodded. "That's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl like you," he winked playfully and heading for a kiss on her hand. Luckily, Lily managed to pull her hand and beamed awkwardly at him. "Thanks," she said shortly and wiped her hand on her shirt.

"Guys, the movie's starting," Seth called for them and he was already sitting on the couch. Rose, Lily and Alan motioned towards him. When Alan was about to sit beside him, he shoved him away. "This is my wife's place," he said firmly and grabbed Rose's hand. "Sit here," he instructed and pulled Rose to sit beside him. Alan and Lily stared on them - bewildered by his action. 

"You're too attracted to me," Rose repeated his favorite words playfully and made Seth blushed. He cleared his throat. "I just don't want anyone to cry in my room because she's cold," he lied and put his arm behind her. Rose giggled and shook her head. He still wouldn't admit it. 

Alan tried to sit beside Rose but then she pushed him. "Lily need to sit beside me," Rose said and pulled Lily to sit beside her. He threw his hands up in the air. "Then, where should I sit?" he asked as the couch was full. Seth laughed. "On the floor," he teased and they laughed.

Alan curled his lips and sat on the floor. "Fine," he said and seized a cushion from Seth's hands. The movie went on and like Seth had warned, it was boring. The film is made during the 70s and Professor Gale was mean for making Seth and Alan to watch it. They tried their best to stay up and forced their mind and soul to watch the movie. 

After 2 hours, it finally ended and Rose was already asleep in Seth's arm. "That was fun," Seth said sarcastically. Alan rubbed his eyes. "Two hours of misery," he yawned and turned himself to face the people on the couch. "Hey, you're still awake," he said in a surprise tone when he saw that Lily wasn't sleeping. Rose was already snoring.

"Yeah. The movie kinda interesting," Lily said, wimbled with her fingers. Seth and Alan widened their eyes and exchanged looks. "Interesting? Seriously?" they said simultaneously. Lily nodded. "I love 70s clothes and that movie showed a lot of nice dresses," she told them the reason. Alan was taken aback. "Wow. Never thought that someone would love that kind of movie," he said, sounded impress. 

"Well, whatever it is, your simpleton friend here did enjoy the movie," Seth smiled, looking at the sleeping Rose. He turned his eyes to face them. "Thanks for coming. I gotta send this ungrateful princess to her bedroom. Are you leaving or you want to stay?" he asked them. Lily shook her head. "I'm leaving. Rose's asleep," she answered and stood up to her feet. "Me too," Alan said and yawned again. "I need to go on a date with my bed," 

Seth nodded and lifted Rose with his arms. "If you're hungry or what, just tell Mr Jameson outside," he said before he motioned out from his bedroom, heading towards Rose's bedroom. Alan and Lily nodded as they watched him leaving them behind. Alan turned his bright blue eyes to Lily. "You want to a grab a bite?" he asked, winking his eyes. 

"No thanks," Lily faked a smile and started to walk out from his bedroom. Alan was surprise as he never been rejected. "Come on. I know you're hungry. There's no need to be shy with me," he stood infront of her, hindering Lily from continuing her walk. "I told you. I'm not hungry. If you are, then why don't you go and eat," Lily said, trying to be nice even though she was piss. 

"Ookay then, Miss Lily. Why don't you accompany me? I hate eating alone," he said and tried to flirt again. "I'm busy," Lily shoved him out of the way and went out from the bedroom. She sped up her walking in attempt to escape from him. "Hey, wait up!" Alan called and he was chasing her. He didn't want to give up. 

"What do you want from me?" Lily turned herself facing him and put her hands on her waist. Alan ran his hand through his dirt-coloured hair. "I'm bored," he smiled innocently.

"So?"

"So, why don't we go out together? Just chilling out you know,"

"I told you I'm busy. I thought you have a date with your bed?"

"She could wait. A beautiful girl like you is way more important," 

Lily shrugged. "Alan Brooke, whatever you're trying to do, it's not working. I'm sorry," she rejected him and walked away from there. Alan was shock as he never been rejected before. The hottest guy in school, the one who has a similar face with Zac Efron just been rejected. "Wow," he said to himself as he watched her walking away from there and he could tell that she was piss.

Meanwhile, Seth placed Rose on her bed. He pulled the sheet to cover her body and sat on the bed next to her.  He stared on her as he had always love to watch her sleeping. He touched her forehead and she was still having a fever. The fact that she still refuse to eat anything made him worried about her. He would do anything just to see her get better. 

As he was stroking her hair, Rose squinted her eyes. "Morning, sleeping buffalo," Seth joked as he saw that Rose awakened. She pulled herself into a sitting position and rubbed her eyes. "Where's Lily?" she asked as she didn't see Lily anywhere near her. "She left," Seth told her. Rose nodded before she squeezed her forehead as she was having a headache. 

"Are you okay?" he asked concernly as he realised that she was hurting. "This is why you have to eat, Rose. I don't know what to do to make you eat," he gave in. Rose coughed. "I don't have any appetite," she said and her body started to feel weak again. Seth shook his head. "You're the most stubborn person I've ever met," he said before he realised that Rose was getting worser. "You need anything? Aspirin or something?" 

"I just had one before we watch the movie," she shook her head. "I need to laugh," she said. Seth wrinkled his nose. "Laugh?" he repeated. Rose nodded. "Yeah. Do something stupid like you always do," she requested. 

"I've never did something stupid. That's your thing, Rose,"

"Please....." Rose begged and faked a cough. "You want me to get better, don't you?" she said in a weak tone.

"What am I suppose to do?"

"Sing," she suggested. "I can't sing, simpleton. Stop requesting weird thing," Seth rejected immediately as he wouldn't sing for anyone. Rose patted his back. "Come on. Sing Twinkle, Twinkle Little Stars. That's my favorite song when I was a kid,"

"Are you crazy? I won't sing that stupid song!" Seth said. Rose blinked her eyes and made the cutest face that she could do as she knew Seth would fall for it. "No!" Seth shook his head and looked away from her. He knew that he could never reject her if he saw that face. She started to shake his arm. "Please...."

Seth sighed and flickered his eyes at Rose. She was still wearing that puppy eyes. He wondered if she had put some kind of magic on him until it was so hard to reject her stupid request. He thought for a moment before he finally lost to her. "Fine," he said. Rose clapped her hands and waited for him to sing. 

Twinkle, twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are,

"Stop!" Rose said. "You're singing like a lifeless person. You need to smile cheerfully and at least, do some movement," she demanded. Seth took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. He faked a smile and he sing again.

Twinkle, twinkle little star,

How I wonder what you are,

Up above the world so high,

Like a diamond in the sky.

"Yeay! Go Seth!" Rose chirped and clapped her hands excitedly. "Satisfied?" Seth asked boredly and he had never felt this dumb. She nodded. "I'm feeling much better! Thanks," she said before she bit her lips. "But I'm still bored," she said. 

"Gosh, what do you want now?" Seth said, exasperating. Rose silent herself for a second before she finally knew what she really want. "Can I ask you something?" she asked in a serious tone. Seth nodded. "If it doesn't involve any stupid question then you can," he said.

She smiled and looked down. "That night, you were so frustrated when you saw Alex kissing me. And you said that you started to..." she blushed and couldn't continue her words. Seth looked away and loosen his tie. "Hmm?" he asked, pretending like he didn't remember anything from that night.

"Did you mean everything that you said?" Rose asked slowly and was hoping that he would answer her question. She'd been thinking about it since the moment he told her that he started to love her. Seth silent himself for a second, making her heart to skip a beat.

"I mean it," Seth said looking into her eyes. "Every word," he admitted and Rose blushed even more. He chuckled when he realised that she was blushing. "You're blushing," he grinned. Rose tapped her cheeks. "I'm not," she lied and hoped that she didn't blush that much. Seth shook his head while laughing. "You're too cute," he joked.

"I know I am," Rose bragged and was smiling brightly. Seth took her hand and leaned closer to kiss her. His heart was beating fast and he could feel the heat radiating from her body. Her breathing rate increased as his lips was just inches from hers. This is something that he'd been craving for since he fell in love with her. He put his hand on her neck and smiled when he saw that Rose closed her eyes, waiting for his lips to brush hers.

Suddenly, the door is pushed open and a girl, with a red hair walked into her room. She cleared her throat when she realised what they were doing. "Hey,"

Seth pulled himself away from Rose and turned himself facing her. "Lexie?" Seth said and his eyes widened. Rose sighed as their time together was interupted again yet they've came so close for a kiss. She flickered her eyes to the girl. She has dark red long hair and a light blue eyes. She didn't look familiar and certainly she's not a maid as she was wearing a stylish clothes.

"Hello, brother," she chirped and Seth ran towards her. Rose who was even more puzzle sat on the bed and watched Seth hugged her. "Brother?" she thought to herself. Seth laughed and was still hugging her tightly. "Oh my God! Why didn't you tell us that you're coming back?" Seth chirped and Rose had never seen him so happy.

"Surprise!" she chirped before she pinched both Seth's cheeks. "How are you, little brother? I miss you a lot," she said. "I miss you too, Lexie. Mother and Father know you're here?" Seth asked, wrapping his arm around her. The girl called Lexie shook her head. "I was heading for you first," she said before she turned her eyes to Rose. "Didn't know that you're busy," she smirked playfully.

Rose looked down shyly and began to regret that she was letting him to kiss her. Luckily, Lexie didn't caught them in action. Seth faked a chuckle and rubbed the back of his neck. "Er - this is Rose," he said, pointing at her. "Rose, this is my sister Liana,"

Rose raised a hand and smiled at her. 

"Hey, call my Lexie," she said warmly and waved at her. She looked at Seth. "So, she's the lucky Cinderella?" Lexie nudged him. Seth laughed and looked down. "Yeah, she's the Cinderella," he joked and slightly blushing. Who wouldn't be shy if your own sister caught you in action? Rose laughed awkwardly. Lexie motioned towards her and sat next to her on the bed. "What happened to you? It's pale," she asked.

"Oh, nothing. Just a fever," Rose lied and smiled. She is delighted as Lexie seemed to accept her in the family, unlike Queen Carla. Up close, Rose noticed that she has similar blue eyes with Seth and they do look like siblings except that her hair is in red. "Cool hair," Rose praised truthfully. She never did meet someone who has a red hair so she's excited.

Lexie giggled and tucked a strand behind her ear. "Thanks. You're the second person who thinks so. The first is me," she said, smiling. She turned her face towards Seth. "I like your wife here. No wonder you were too eager to kiss her," she winked. "We were just talking, Lexie," Seth lied and turned his eyes to Rose. "Isn't it, Rose?" he widened his eyes.

"Yeah, we were just talking," Rose bit her lips and looked down. Lexie smiled and shook her head. "I still can't believe that my brother got married first before me," she mused and took her hand. "Don't worry, your secret's safe with me,"

"Lexie, you gotta go and meet them. I'm sure they've been missing you too. Especially grandma. She never stop talking about you," Seth said in his attempt to end the awkward conversation. Lexie nodded. "You're probably right and I know that you guys want some time to be alone," she stood up to her feet. "Have fun!" she winked at Rose and motioned towards the door. 

"She's pretty," Lexie whispered to Seth and patted his shoulder. Seth smiled. "Thanks," he grinned proudly. Lexie went out from the bedroom, leaving Seth and Rose alone again in the bedroom.

"So..." Seth started and stared on Rose. "Your head is still spinning?" he asked, trying to break the awkwardness between them. Rose shook her head. "I'm fine," she smiled before she paused, trying to think of something. "I think you should go and meet your parents with Lexie," she suggested.

"Right," Seth agreed and turned the door knob. Before he went out from the bedroom, he turned himself to face her with his hand on the knob. "Take care of yourself," he smiled genuinely and his eyes were as bright as the sun. Rose nodded, smiled back and her husband went out from her bedroom.

For the first time, she's proud to be Roseline Larston.

~~ 

"What happened to your hair?" Queen Carla asked as she was surprise to see how much her daughter had changed. Lexie smiled and giggled innocently. "This is a new style, Mom. Even Seth's wife said it's nice," she winked. Carla shook her head. "You will never change, don't you? And when did you meet Rose?" she raised her eyebrow.

"Just now. Seth introduced me to her. She seems nice. You're lucky, Seth," Lexie said and flickered her eyes to her brother. "Yes, she is," Carla agreed even though she'd never liked Rose. "Liana, what's your plan after this?" she asked her. Lexie silent herself for a second, thinking. "For now, I don't have any plans yet," she said.

"Why don't you go to college? Rather than wasting your time doing nothing," King Edward suggested. Lexie shook her head. "I told you that studying isn't my thing, Dad," she grinned. King Edward sighed. "Right," he gave in to his only daughter, knowing that she wouldn't change her mind.

Even though Liana and Seth are siblings but they're very different. Seth has always been an obedient child while Liana is a rebel and a stubborn person. She's the hardest person to be convinced and she barely listened to any of her parents words. She was never the princess type and never behave like one since she was a child.

Whenever she had her princess lesson, she would try her best to escape from it. After she graduated from high school, Lexie made her decission to travel around the world as it had always been her ultimate dream. Now, at the age of 23, she returned back to Andorra.

"Seth?" Rose cracked open his bedroom door and popped her head into it. "Seth Larston slash Monkey?" she called again. "I'm in here, simpleton slash buffalo," she heard his voice replying her. Rose smiled. "Can I come in?" she asked even though she would still come in even if he say no.

"Is that even a question? You will still come in even if I say no," Seth said as he already knew her behaviour too well. Rose giggled before she went into his bedroom with a jacket wrapping her body. She was feeling cold and bored so she visited him. Rose found him, sitting on the bed, reading a book. "Hi," she said to him, waving her hand.

"Hi," Seth said and his eyes were still on the book. Rose curled her lips as she felt like she was ignored. "What are you doing here?" Seth asked. She smiled and wimbled with her fingers. "My bedroom is so cold and I remember that yours is always warm," she said and Seth ignored her.

She sulked and sat on the sofa. She rubbed her hands together and shivered so Seth would feel pity at her. "It's so cold," she shivered, acting like she was going to die because of the coldness. Seth chuckled. "Come here. My bed's warm," he invited as he knew that she was trying to get his attention. Rose smiled. "Seriously? But your sister might come in again," she said, recalling everything that happened that evening.

"So? You're my wife, right?" Seth wrinkled his nose, grinning. Butterflies fluttered in his stomach everytime he said that. Rose thought for a moment before she realised that he was true. "Okay. If you insist," she agreed and climbed onto his bed. His bed was warm and she was so comfortable on it. "You're right. It's so good," she chirped and lay on the bed. She pulled the cover to her neck. "Thanks," she said honestly.

"Since when did you learn how to say thank you?" Seth joked and made her smile. Then, he silent himself for a second. "Simpleton," he called for her. Rose nodded. "What?" she asked and waited for him to speak. Seth pulled a deep breath and tried to calm himself. "I need to tell you something," he said and his eyes caught her sleepy eyes. 

Rose nodded.

He looked away, staring on the wall as he spoke. "I know this sound ridiculous and doesn't make any sense. And you'll probably laugh at this because you always laugh at everything. But I really gotta say this as I can't hide this any longer from you," he paused to take a deep breath.

"I have to admit that I care about you and I know, I've promised you that I'll divorce you so you can be happy but when I think back, I just realise how much I need you in my life. It's kills me, you know? Being around you yet I know that I have to let you go later," he spit everything out but then Rose didn't respond.

"Rose?" he asked and turned his eyes to her. He sighed and smiled when he saw that she was already asleep with her thumb in her mouth. He bit his lips in frustration and closed his eyes as he knew that she didn't hear everything that he was saying. "Rose Larston, you're killing me," he muttered, half joking. He leaned closer to her and slipped his arm under her waist. 

"I need you more than anyone in my life," he muttered and hugged her tightly. He breathed in the scent of her soft hair and wished this kind of moment would never end. But no matter how much he craved for her, he realised that one day he'll have to let her go. She deserved much more than this. 

Suddenly, his bedroom door is swung open angrily and his mother showed up. This time she was wearing an angry expression that he couldn't read it. "Seth!" she shouted and she was shock to see them sleeping together. Seth shook her body to wake Rose up. She squinted her eyes before she saw Queen Carla with her hands on her waist. They're so dead.

"What are you doing here, Mother?" Seth asked in a serious tone. He didn't seem happy to see his mother. "This is my bedroom and you're invading it," he added, looking sharply at her. Rose looked down and her hands were trembling as she is scared.

"How dare you speak to me in that language, Crown Prince!" Queen Carla ranted and she was holding a newspaper in her left hand. "You're embarrassing me. No, not just me! But the whole country!" 

"What do you mean?" he asked, bewildering. "Rose's my wife. I have every rights to her and we could do anything that we want. You have no rights to forbid me, Mother," he protested.

Queen Carla sighed and ran a hand through her thick brown hair. "Princess Rose, leave us both," she said firmly and was looking away. Rose nodded hastily and climbed off from the bed. She looked at Seth for a second before rushed out from his bedroom.

As Rose shut the door close, Carla took a deep breath before she gazed on her only son, the heir to the throne. "I can't believe that you did this to me, Seth. I always thought you were an obedient child," she said in a very dissapointed tone. She couldn't believe that Seth would embarras his own family.

Seth motioned to her. "What did I do? Why're you so angry at me?" he asked, puzzling and he knew that this has nothing to do with him sleeping with Rose.

Queen Carla shrugged before she threw the newspaper to his body.
