Prologue- Grayson
2 1/2 Years Earlier
I just sat there.
All I could do is stare at my best friend who just told me the one piece of information I thought I would ever have to hear. How could I be so stupid? I thought that by waiting everything would come together in a few years and I would finally have my chance once things had settled and were less stressful.
"What the hell do you mean?" I said, just staring wide-eyed at Xander.
"I mean she has apparently been with this Nathan douchebag for 6 months without telling me and they also apparently are serious enough to decide that it's the best idea ever to move in together. Like what the fuck?" he yelled through gritted teeth that last bit just before tossing back the rest of his drink.
"I just don't get it though. This doesn't sound like her at all. What happened to focusing on her music, and where the hell did she even meet this guy?" I spoke my thoughts out loud in more of a whisper than anything but it seems that Xander still heard me.
Shaking his head in what could be disapproval? or disappointment? perhaps even disbelief he answered my questions while quoting her "She said that he was backstage of one her shows out in NYC and "just clicked" the moment they met. It sounds like a croc to me! I just didn't get a good feeling about this guy the entire time she was talking. I get that I am that crazy overprotective brother but this is something else I swear. My gut is telling me that he isn't a good guy for her. Even hearing his voice in the background gave me bad vibes."
Just listening to him ramble on about this guy is hard enough because Xan is one of those guys that typically likes everybody. So hearing him automatically not like him doesn't exactly sit well. Not to mention I have been completely and utterly in love with his sister for as long as I can remember, so hearing him say that she is in a serious enough relationship to want to move in with this guy makes my heartache. Not only that but it leaves me confused as to why. She has always been one to think things out completely and take her time, so the fact that she is moving in with some guy is bewildering to me. I knew I should have tol-
"GRAYSON!"
Clearing my head of my whirl-winding thoughts, "Sorry man, What did you say?"
He smirked over at me before he shook his head laughing at me. Fuck. I already know what he is going to say now and I groan out loud while internally hoping that he will let this one time go.
But of course. Xander being Xander he couldn't just pass up the opportunity to give me a hard time.
"You know, if you would have just admitted how feel about her a long time ago then this wouldn't be happening right now, " he gave me a stern look but I knew he wasn't actually upset with me. Just upset about the situation."Speaking of, what are you planning on doing now? Wasn't it the plan to tell her everything on her 21st birthday? What if they are still together?"
Letting out a sigh, all I could think of was that I will still be here for her. No matter what. And assuming that Xan was right about his gut feeling then this Nathan guy will mess up big time leaving her to fall. But before she hits the ground then I will be there to catch her. Being one of the top wide-receivers in the NFL has its perks, I NEVER drop the ball. So I will wait for my little Rose petal to spot me wide open. However long it takes.
"I will wait for her. And the moment he messes up even in the slightest then I will be right there. The first moment I get to have then I am taking it and I don't plan on letting go of her." I said with a determination in my voice. It's only a bump in the road but in the end, Rosalie Elizabeth White will be my girl!
She doesn't know it yet but one day she will become: Rosalie Danvers!
That's a promise.
