SERIOUS by Belinda Louis (little red riding hood ebook free TXT) 📕

'Rosie Pie?" she looked at Rose with a creepy smile on her face. Flipping her precious lashes back and forth.

"Where's David?" she frowned. Hoping Rose would answer

"Oh um he stepped out" Rose couldn't get a hold of herselff. 'The Jessica Alba' is in the living room asking her a question. Rose couldn't even speak. Talk about speechless?

  "You need a wash & set A.S.A.P" She played around with Rose's hair picking a piece out of Rose's split ends

  "What?" Jessica took Rose's hands and purse.

"You are coming with me honey" Rushing to leave the suite. Jessica dashed out pulling Rose in a t-shirt dress and summer flats

***

Rose was in the limo looking outside the window.  Sitting there, thinking to herslef where in the heavens of christ is she going on a Saturday out with Jessica Alba? What if a paparazzi spots them and pictured of Rose goes viral. 

Suddenly the limo stopped at a hotel. Not a normal looking hotel just a very different looking builing. Rose sat there in the back of the limo watching Ms. Alba lurch at the driver. She looked down at her hands and carefully rubbed them together. 

"Oh come darling. Your not going to stay in here all day are you?" said Jessica watching Rose react to her question

"Oh As much as I'd want to. . " Rose joked. Jessica winked at the poor women. Nervous, Rose almost tripped on the edge of the sidewalk. Seperating themselves from the street. 

"Ms. Alba over here" said a doorman who seemed to be working at this offly awkward place. 

"Yea! See this is why I said use velvet red on the walls. If you want customers you have to give them something worth applealing to" she stated watching constructers paint walls as if there already tired of their job.

"What do you think?" she looked to Rose. Rose froze comepletly zoned out this universe. Forgetting the big bang ever existed. A sudden cough echoed in the building. A tall handsome man coming down the stairs adjusting his tie and roughly racing his beautiful fingers through his polished hair.

"You just can't let my men work in peace?" he asked grouping his hands together into a fist. He eyed Rose down staring at every single. . .ahem . .I mean every curve and posture Rose gave away allowing her body lanuage to say a lot about herself. He gained contol of his nasty mind and looked back at Jessica curiously watching like he killed a dog.

"What?" he asked

"Eric you can't just look at somebody like that. Say Hi" she frowned at him

"Right! Where are my manners? I'm Eric, Eric Gandy" suddenly the word splatted out mentally in Rose head. This hit Rose like never before. Jessica noticed the tension and jerked her hands in front of Rose's face and caught her interesting atttention.

"Before I almost poke your eye out. It would mean a lot if you'd say something?" an awkard silence filled the room. Eric giggled to Rose puzzled face. Clearly Rose has not gotten over the fact that she's surrounded by rich people.

"Rose-Rose Hernandez" she replied back. Clearly, litterally, and figuratively, Rose has never saw such handsome appearence Eric carried on him

Everyone caught on to the awkward situation filling the room with fear, peace, and a smell of fire.

"Oh my god. .fire!" everyone jerked down to the ground. One officer by the door yelling and shouting on his walkie-talkie warning other officers for help. Hearing the audible sound of his walkie-talkie, Jessica ran out leaving Rose behind.

"STOP. DROP. AND ROLL!" Warned the officer again.

"FUCK THAT! EVERY BODY GET OUT!" someone shouted out. A huge gas of flame tumbled down the ceiling. The smoke filled the air. A hand grabbed Rose. She looked back staring into Eric's percious eyes remembering the same exact resemblance David had. She blinked aggressively and ran out with Eric leading the way.

"Is everyone okay?" asked a fireman holding his helmet. Everyone nodded yes.Thank God everyone got out alive

"Shit. How the fuck am I going to explain this to him" said Eric with his hands on his hips pissed off due to the fact that his little building caught on fire

"Yes how will you explain this?" asked Jessica standing next to him close enough to whisper in his ear. Eric looked at her and didn't lose eye contact with Alba until Rose showed up. 

"Look, it's running late and Jess I have to ah-" Jessica cut her off and lead her to the limo. The driver escorted Rose to the car and slammed the door shut. How could have this fire started anyway? But Eric is David's brother and Eric has no clue about his relationship with Rose. Niether does Rose know about the relationship that lies between the family bloodline of Eric and David.

Rose watched Jessica and Eric argue from the window. They looked as if they were angry and pissed at each other. Something was wrong and Rose sensed it from the moment she stepped foot in the builing. Jessica stormed off away from Eric trailing to the other side of the limo to greet Rose. Eric's eyes slowly drifted from the ground to the car limo watching Rose from the car window. The limo began moving and still Eric watched the car sail away as if he truely missed someone he truely loves. His hands on his hips watching the limo. He kicked his feet against the cemented ground and bit his upper lip in fustration. He stood there wondering to himself, everything happened so fast. Everything came tumbling down and Eric looked upset. It was like he was depending on Jess and she just parted her way out. He finally turned around walking away talking to a fireman. Who could possibly know what the muted conversation was about.

"I am so sorry" Alba said taking a glass of Moscato. 

"We will be all clean and freshned up when we get to my place. But for some reason for an attractive women you are very anti-social" she stated, placing the glass of wine down and watching her driver from the rear view.

"It's alright. And yea I'm not much of a talker" she stated making sure Jessica understood the kind of person she is.

"You remind me of my niece Annabelle" she said looking at Rose and placing her hands on her leg "It's like everytime I see her, I see you. Like you are the future Annabelle. Sometimes I wonder if you two could be the same you know. Only if you knew" she continued

" You think so" Rose didn't know what else to say "Of course I think so" Jessica implied "I don't know what I would do without her" she looked out the window this time placing her hand on the window class "I've been tired and stressed lately and she's the reason why I'm still doing my career. Let's face it, Josh is no help. He was, but then the more popularity got in the way, I lost him between the flash bulbs of the pretty cameras" she looked down taking another gulp of wine. Rose placed her hands on Jessica's shoulder reminding her that she understands how Jessica feels.

"I miss him. I love him. And no one will ever understand what that feels like" Rose felt emotional to the thought of Josh's career. She felt bad for Jessica and the first day Rose and Josh met about the big surprise he was gogin to get her. Rose came to a conclusion that their relationship may end before they know it.

"People out there are begging for a life like this. They should just have a bootcamp or something for the famous world preparing them for torture. Then, they can judge" Alba looked back at Rose and rested her head on Rose's shoulder gaining comfort in. 

Matt Bomer from White Collar as Eric Gandy. 

Quick Note: Umm In real life I'm pretty sure David Gandy has only a sister not a brother, but in the book he has Eric as a brother.

 David noticed a note taped to the door.

    It's Jessica. I'm out with the Princess :*

David smiled at Jessica's awkward little kissy face drawing. Nevertheless, despite the thought that David doesn't know about the accident that happened, he turned on the TV listening to a reporter on the televison. The reporter held on to his hoodie and spoke on the mic agressively trying to get a hold of the difficult object shaking in his hands. The man lost control and his hoodie flew off.

"Aha wow some strong winds here" said the reporter "This just in: An under construction builing caught mysteriously on fire. Sources say police is investigating the scene a.s.a.p, also luckly no was killed. Everyone evacuated as soon as possible before anything can harm anyone" she reporter ending his brief report on the fire "Back to you Ryan" he smiled at the television.

"That's odd" David made his eyebrows touch each other and walked into the bedroom and collasped to the bed. His eyes began to drift slowly to sleep. His mind, body, and humble soul released the negative energy that caused him pain. His eyes filled with darkness leading to a shadow of light. David began dreaming

THE DREAM_

   David was at the scene of the fire and spotted Rose standing there with Jessica. He couldnt't say a thing coming out of his utterless mouth.  She was to deaf to understand. David tried to warn her, but then he saw Josh arguing with a salesman in another white shadow gaining his attention. Josh verbally attacked the poor man and knocked his belongings out of his hands. David ran to the never ending shadow as it began to fade away. A huge explosion echoed in his sleep and David turned around, shocked with an expressionless face watching Rose inside the builing holding a man's hand. He became slightly jealous due to the fact that this guy a little better than him. Afraid she'll leave David for the other guy. Coughing, David grabbed Rose's hand but he wasn't touching her. As if his dream was similar to the Patrick Swayze film Ghost.He reached for her hands again, and again, and again. Clearly your no help David.

David looked back at another gleaming yellow light slowly appearing in his broad and blurry vision.

"Who's there?" David hoped for a response but nothing came up

"I SAID WHO'S THERE?" He yelled echoing in the black background. It was like as if he was standing in a tunnel all by himelf, lonely, sad, and a miserable drunk

Sometimes I wonder where did I go wrong with you kid

A tall man in a plaid grey and black shirt with a buck fifty on his face. The man had a belt in his hand. David was in the scene of the night he attacked his dad. Tell me you didn't see this coming

Suddenly the setting changed around him. The ghostly image of Rose's body at the scene of the fire went away. It was just David, his mother, his brother Eric and his abusie dad.

Frank grabbed the gun in his drawer and placed it against his wife Lenora. David's mother. Little David ran towards the kitcken knife set neatly stacked in a wooden case on the counter. David grabbed a perfect sharped butcher knife and jumped on his father an attacked him.

"Noonononono" David screamed hearing himself disengage in his dream. David felt the hands of a women grab him by the waist and kissed him on the lips. He was suddenly face to face with his ex-girlfriend Suzy.

"I'll never forget you. Remember that" she said softly rubbing her thumb on his lips. She walked away picking up her luggage and walked out into the water and melting into the sunser. That's awkward why is she walking into the water. David ran after her and jumped over Suzy as David appeared in a room. His hotel suite. A replica atleast.

"Daddie" said a little girl
