Summary When someone from their school in Portland recognises Rose

POV OC

1

"Woah- Rose is that you?"

From her spot in front of a rack of dresses, the seventeen year old whipped her head up from where she'd been admiring them. Her eyebrows furrow and a confused smirk creases her features. "Hey Daniel. Long time no see…"

I swagger over towards her and embrace her, noticing how tense she was. "Heh, Rose you seriously need to loosen up! Obviously you haven't had a man help you unwind, if you know what I mean." I send her a suggestive wink and Rose laughs a little and steps back, throwing a look over her shoulder.

I glance up to her line of sight to see a man in a leather duster striding over to us. With a smirk I crack my knuckles, stepping in front of Rose. As the man nears us, I ball my fists up but leave them hanging on my side. "So sweetheart, where've you been? You just suddenly disappeared on us at school."

Rose chuckles nervously, most likely because of the man's approach. He had a stern look on his face and his jaw was set. "Well, you know. I've been… around."

I turn my back on the long haired man approaching us and place an arm around her waist, settling my hand comfortably on her thigh. She seemed incredibly tense. I'd have to work out the kinks for her. Tracing patterns on her thigh I say, "C'mon baby I'll show you a good time. It doesn't matter if you moved schools. All that matters is you're here now sweetcheeks."

At my words she seemed to grow even tenser. I figure out why when an accented voice speaks up behind me. "Keep your hands off of her." He growled.

I feel Rose pinch my hand and she twirls out of my grip to stand next to the man. "Calm down comrade," she grins at him, nudging him with her shoulder lightly.

He remains impassive, a ghost of a frown on his lips. I step forward and pull Rose forcefully up against me, slightly surprised when she begins to struggle slightly. The man across from us narrows his eyes. "Kindly step away from the lady Sir."

I stare in astonishment when Rose easily steps out of my grasp, despite the iron grip I'd had. "Aww, you think I'm a lady?" she teases.

I see a flash of silver on the man's waist and I immediately grab Rose by the back of the collar and shove her into my chest, holding her in place with both arms wrapped around her. "This guy's dangerous Rose! I'm not letting you go off with him."

The brunette in my hold rolls her eyes, "Let go of me Daniel. You will seriously regret it if you don't."

With a harsh pinch to one of my nerves, Rose shrugs out of my hold. I hiss in pain but non the less reach my uninjured arm out to stop her from heading towards the foreign man. In a flash I see a bright light and a dull ringing enters my ears.

"Seriously Dimitri, I don't think you had to throw him that hard."

I groan my head swirling. An unfamiliar voice belonging neither to the man or Rose enters the conversation. "Is there a problem here?"

"This man was bothering the lady."

Immediately after those words were spoken, I felt two people grab me by the arms and heave me up from where I'd been flipped onto a rack of clothes. "Sir, I'm afraid we're going to have to escort you out."

"Thanks security!" Rose said.

My vision focuses enough for me to see the giant place a hand on her arm gently. "Roza, you are a magnet for trouble." He says, a soft, affectionate smile on his lips. I gape at them when Rose blushes and looks shyly down at the floor.

She glances back up to lock gazes with him. "You know me comrade."

I howl in outrage and weakly flail my arms as security continues to drag me out of the store. "That guys dangerous! Get her away from him!"

One of the guards look at me look I'd grown a second head. "And what exactly is so dangerous about a man taking his girlfriend shopping?"
