Do I Have A Choice?
She also said something about the news last week. What news? Rune's ears immediately perked up.
Wait a minute ... What happened last week to make Helene worry about Rose?
Rune remembered that it was when he saw Rose crying on the balcony and her attitude became strange. She became very sad and even drank so much that she got drunk. What actually happened last week?
Oh... the mystery.
Rune was tempted to go to the bathroom and check the news on the internet involving Rose Fournier.
Ahh .. there was no need to rush, wasn't it? Rose had already told him that tonight she would tell Rune all about herself.
"You don't have to worry about me," said Rose, laughing out loud. "I'm happy. Rune is always there for me, and he's a nice guy. I'm very lucky. to have him in my life."
While she was talking, a waiter came and poured more champagne into their empty glasses. Rose distracted them by asking her friends to toast again.
"Come on .. let's toast to our friendship ..." when she raised her glass, Rune suddenly touched Rose's arm and shook his head softly.
Rose frowned, not understanding why Rune seemed to want to prevent her from drinking. Rose decided to ask the man, "What's wrong?"
"You said you wouldn't drink more than two glasses," whispered the man. "You gave me permission to do whatever it takes to keep you from drinking again."
"Oh, really?" Rose pursed her lips. "I don't remember ..."
"I recorded it. You can hear it yourself," said Rune. He took out his cell phone and played Rose's voice he recorded when they just arrived at the lounge.
Rose's countenance suddenly changed when she heard the recording. She looked at Rune with a displeased face. "I want to drink, and you can't stop me."
"You have given me the right to stop you at all costs," said Rune. "If you drink the third glass, I'll kiss you."
GULP.
Rose swallowed hard. Her three friends looked at each other and smiled. They thought the scene between Rose and Rune was quite adorable. They suspected that these two people were used to this scene, since their 'bickering' looked so natural.
"You wouldn't dare," challenged Rose.
Nonchalantly, she lifted her glass, which was already filled with champagne, and was about to drink it. However, before the glass touched her lips, a large hand had taken the glass away from her hand and placed it on the table.
A moment later, the hand had grabbed the back of her head and supported it as Rune landed a passionate kiss on Rose's lips.
Suddenly there were awkward coughing sounds from the people present in the lounge, followed by a muffled cry.
The waiter who had seen Rune holding Rose's hand previously, came with a tray of ice cream for all of them and witnessed how the respectable young Master from the Schneider family was kissing a 'man' so passionately.
Uff ... so it's true, Rune Schneider liked men and women at the same time, she thought. She tried to act like nothing happened and served ice cream calmly in front of all the guests.
Rose, who didn't expect that Rune would really kiss her, was completely taken aback, and her reaction was too late. As her mind went back to work, she stared at the man with round eyes.
"You ... you ..." She couldn't continue her words. Rose felt taken advantage of by Rune by kissing her in front of her friends. This made the girl unable to get angry.
Her friends would be suspicious if she slapped Rune for kissing her, because they thought she and Rune were real lovers and had even lived together.
Of course, in their minds, Rose and Rune were used to kissing, and even sleeping together. So, if Rose suddenly got angry at him for kissing her, they would wonder if Rose and Rune's relationship was real or just an act.
"You told me that I am allowed do anything to prevent you from getting drunk. Your limit tonight is only two glasses, and you've crossed it .." said Rune with a smile. His face looked beaming with happiness.
Ahh .. Rose's lips were so soft. He felt like he wanted to kiss her for a long, long time. Unfortunately, they were in a public place, and Rose's friends were around them.
Besides, he was a bit worried that if he kissed Rose longer, he might be overcome by lust, which would only make him suffer.
Imagine, what if he got aroused but couldn't vent his desire? It certainly would be torturous.
"Ughh .. you were just taking advantage of my words," scolded Rose, pursing her lips.
"I don't care. You told me I am allowed to do everything I can to keep you from drinking," Rune replied. "And I have the recording to prove that you asked for it yourself."
"Ufff ..." Rose wanted to argue, but she didn't know what to say. The girl realized that Rune was right.
"Now, it's up to you, Honey. If you drink another glass, that means I'll kiss you one more time. If you drink two more glasses, I'll kiss you two more times ..." said Rune with a chuckle. "I'm only carrying out your orders."
"Ahahahaha .. you guys are so cute and adorable," commented Peter while winking at Rune. "I think it's the first time I've seen anyone make Rose at a loss for words."
"Ah .. really?" asked Rune happily. He was delighted to hear Peter's words. This meant they supported his relationship with Rose.
Rune was sure they must know about Rose's past relationship with Leon. So if they thought that Rune did suit Rose perfectly, it must mean they believe Rune was better than Leon for Rose.
Because his heart was very happy, Rune took his glass of champagne and downed it in one go.
"You can't drink," he said as he watched Rose's hand quietly reached her glass. The young man winked. "I'll kiss you again."
Being threatened like that, Rose finally gave in. She waved her hand at the waiter and asked for a mocktail that didn't contain alcohol.
"Ahh .. you are an obedient girl," said Rune, stroking Rose's hair, while the girl rolled her eyes.
The same waiter who caught Rune holding Rose's hand earlier, then saw him kissing the girl who was disguised as a man, now witnessing the intimate sight of Rune stroking the man's hair affectionately, when the waiter came to bring the mocktail that Rose ordered.
Gosh.. Young Master Rune acts more affectionate and loving toward a male partner than a female partner. Ahh .. maybe actually he is not bisexual, but gay. Well .. that must be it, she thought to herself.
With that in mind, she then exited the lounge. When her coworkers asked again why her expression looked strange, the waiter just sighed.
"It seems that Young Master Rune likes men ..." replied the waiter, glancing at the lounge she had just left.
"Oh, really?" Her friend also looked shocked. They knew that the Schneider family was very reclusive. However, they were never known to be involved in a same-sex relationship before. This would be the first.
They had seen the 'man' whom Young Master Rune brought here as his date and had to admit that the man was extremely good looking. Young Master had a really good taste, they thought.
Meanwhile, dinner went really well. Rose didn't dare to order any more champagne or cocktail. She kept her mind alert and didn't want to risk being kissed again.
"Have you been to Medion?" Helene asked Rune when they were enjoying their ice cream.
"Medion?" Rune shook his head. "Why should I?"
"That's Rose's homeland. I think you should at least visit her country and see where she came from. It is really nice place," said Helene.
"Oh... I will soon," Rune glanced at Rose with a smile. "Rose said she will take me to see her family."
Rose forced a smile and nodded. "That's right. We will go see my family next month."
Helene pressed her lips when she heard Rose's words. "Next month? You mean... you will come to the wedding?"
Rose shrugged. "Do I have a choice?"
