Chapter $ 5
Why are you being so nice and welcoming ? I mean I understood the whole helping the damsel in distress but wating to marry me holes in my life , that’s going overboard ”
He chuckled “ fix and fill the holes in your life aye ? Oh , there’s a hole hetween your legs I do want to fill actually . What’s to say I’m riet dung in for Jee that ? ” He got even more closely with every word he said . There was a cheeky smirk playing on his face .”
His words dawned on me and I felt my cheeks heat up .
“ Is that what you want ? ” I whispered .
He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled my flush against his chest .
“ I want you . All of you . Your past , your present and your future . You are beautiful Rosalie and I wish I could show you how beautiful through my eyes . To have an unfortunate past but I don’t define you by that . I define you by your present and in the present , I see a very smart , successful , independent and sassy woman whom I want to call my wife . I assure you my family feel the same way . So please , stop with the whole I’m a hookers daughter and beSeve when I say I want a future with you ”
I felt tears forming in the corner of my eye . His words were making my insides mushy and I really wanted to believe him .
“ Forgive me for being sceptical . My past has given me wounds that have taught me not to believe words but actions . ” I knew I sounded like an absolute jerk for saying that but it was the reality of my life . I had believed in Vince and he was someone I had known for a very long time . I hardly knew Blake .
Blake let go of me and took a step back .
“ That’s why we are here Rosy , so I can show you I’m not lying . Hopefully , I succeed . Anyway , this is your room , settle in and freshen up . I’m in the room to your left as you walk out . Let me know if you need anything ”
He turned around and walked out . I felt shit ! He was being so sweet and sincere and I was being a bitch ! I just didn’t understand why he was so adamact that he wanted to marry me .
He kept referring back to his parent’s relationship . They had met twice before marriage and the love between them ignited for the rest of their life . Was it that simple ? To just fall in love with someone ?
He had never said he was in love with me , though his actions some days made me question it .
I opened my bag and grabbed my toiletries and a plain knee – length dress . While I was here , for even the shortest amount of time , I was at least going to try and fit in . After seeing Blake’s mum , I felt underdressed !
The balcony door was open and a slight breeze made the curtains fluttered . The balcony overlooked the backyard of the Cooper Mansion . There was a gorgeous pool with a pool house on one side and an entertainment area on the other side . There was even a projection screen set up in the entertainment
area .
The pool was surrounded by a massive lawn with the lawn ending at what I would describe being a forest . Tall pine trees arched around the lawn with the ~ mansion nestled in the middle . Huntly was a seaside town like Mariners Bay but it sat at the end of the bay that was shared by main other towns . It was the
town that had the best of both the sea and the forest .

I walked over to the door to close it when my eyes landed on a large dog walking past the pool house towards the forest . I had never seen a dog that big before . It looked like a husky on steroids .
Suddenly a loud howl erupted from the forest startling me . I gasped and the dog looked up towards me . Did it hear me ?! It tilted his head to one side and stared at me . Its eyes held me captive . From the distance , I couldn’t make out the colour but the fact that it was staring directly at me gave me goosebumps .
Another howl erupted and echoed through the forest . The dog looked towards the forest and I took the opportunity to quickly close the door and shut the curtains . Weird shit . My heart was racing and my mind didn’t want to believe what I had just seen . Was that a dog or a wolf ?! Neither animal should be that big right ?
I picked up my things and walked into the bathroom . Maybe a shower would help me recover from what I had seen .
