I clean up our place as I look around still thinking about what might happen.

(Will momoi be able to convince them..?)

I sighed and hoped he could. After an hour or so I finish up , looking at the clock and wondering if momoi is still with his parents.

Rose:  "I hope everything turns out okay."

I hear my phone buzzing and notice it vibrating on the couch. I run over to it , hoping that it's momoi calling. Once I see who it is, I pick up my phone and answer.

Rose:  "Hello."

Aki:   "Hey rose."

Rose:  "What happened?"

Aki:  "Well I was wondering if you'd like to go out somewhere today."

Rose:  "Oh, sure."

Aki:  "Great! I'll see you at the daventport building."

Rose:  "Wait what?"

He hangs up on me and I sit there confused.

Rose:  "I wonder what that was all
about."

I get read and leave a note on the fridge just incase Momoi gets home early. Still thinking about aki's weird behavior.

(Hm that was really odd...)

I walk upto the door and lock it while walking downstairs I look to see if I see any paparazzi. Thank god there were any. I took a cab to the daventport building and looked around to see if I saw aki.

Rose:  "Hm where is he?"

I wait for a few more minutes but still no sign of aki.

(Where could he be?)

I decide to walk around and search for him. Suddenly I feel someone's hand on my shoulder and I jump slightly, surprised.

Aki:  "Hey."

Rose:  "Don't scare me like that."

I sigh in relief when I notice it's aki
then smile at him.

Aki:  "Haha sorry."

He slips his left hand behind his head and rubs it slowly.

Rose:   "Its alright."

Aki:  "So are you ready?"

Rose:  "Ready for what?"

Aki:  "You'll see."

Rose:  "Huh?"

He walks in the building a gestures me to follow him. I do so and look around. Minutes passed by until we got to an elevator, we enter it and go to the top floor.

Aki:  " There's someone who wants to see you."

Rose:  "Who is it?"

Once we walk out of the elevator  he opens a door that's at the end of the hallway.

Aki:  "Your future sister in law."

Rose:  "W-Wait..! What??"

Aki:  "You heard me."

Rose:  "..."

(His parents didn't like me..what will his sister think of me...?)

Aki:  "Is something wrong?"

Rose:  "No..."

I looked down at the ground as I mumbled that word. I lied.

(What else can I do...?I don't want throw a bomb on him of emotions.)

I thought to myself as I stayed silent, suddenly a young woman with a velvet red colored dress walked up to us. My eyes wided as I looked at her. She was so beautiful. Her long, wavy, chocolate hair and stunning green eyes.

???:  "So I guess you're Rose."

She giggled slightly and examined me as she walked in circles around me.

Rose:   "Yes."

Aki:  "Rose meet Jessica, Momoi's sister."

I nod slightly only once then bow.

Rose:  "Nice to meet you Jessica."

She slips her fingers under my chin and lift up my head, making me look at her. I look at her warm smile and stay silent.

Rose:  "..."

Jessica:   "No need to be so formal with me."

She giggles once again as I stand up straight and smile at her.

Rose:  "Are you sure?"

Jessica:  "Yup and please call me Jess."

Rose:  "Okay."

She sits down and gestures to some seats infront of her. We both sit down and look at her.

Jessica:  "So you're the one my parents don't want for my Onii-chan."

(A/N:  onii-chan means big brother is Japanese for those who don't know :3 )

Rose:  "Yes..."

Jessica:  "Well my mother sent me to exam you. If I don't like you, you'll be separated from momoi."

Rose:  "..."

Aki:  "..."

A tear slipped from my left eye as the words she said stabbed me.

Jessica:  "What's this?"

She gets up and touched the tear that's on my cheek and smiles at me.

Rose:  "..."

Jessica:  "A tear? So you do care about him."

Rose:  "Of course I do."

Jessica:  "I see, so you do t want his money?"

Rose:  "No."

Jessica:  " What if he were to be poor out of nowhere, would you care?"

Rose:  "Yes."

Jessica:  " So you do love him for his money."

Rose:  "No, that's not what I meant."

Jessica:  "Oh really?"

Rose:  " I would care about his health and how he'd have to adjust to his new life as a poor man but I would be there by his side to help him. I don't care about his money. I just love him."

Jessica:  "Touching."

Rose:  "No..not touching...it's just honesty..."

Jessica:  " What we're to happen if I separate you two."

Rose:  "I'd do whatever I can to be with him....and I know he'd do the same...so we won't be separated for too long."

Jessica:  "Are you scared of losing him?"

Rose:  "I'm terrified of losing him...he's my everything now..."

Jessica:  "It seem like you truly love him."

Rose:  "You believe me?"

Jessica:   "Yes."

Aki:  " Rose is very honest and sweet."

Jessica:  "I see."

Rose:   "Thank you."

Jessica:  "You don't seem like one of those gold digging divas."

We both giggled lowly. She then turned her gaze over to aki.

Jessica:   "Aki."

Aki:  " Yes Jess?"

Jessica:  " Has momoi changed?"

Aki:   "Yes, he seems happier now but other then that he's stubborn."

Jessica:  "That's good."

She's smiles at me and extends her hand towards me.

Jessica:  "You pass."

Rose:   "I-I...pass..?"

Jessica:  "Yup, I approve of you."

I look at her hand and know she wants to shake hands but instead I hug her tightly which leaves her is shock. She slowly hugs back after a couple of seconds.

Rose:  "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

Jessica:  "Someone's happy."

She saids in a cheerful tone and I blush lightly, letting her go.

Rose:  "S-Sorry."

Jessica:  "It's alright anego!"

(A/N:   Anego mean big sis in Japanese :3 )

She then hugs me and I hug back a bit surprised.

Jessica:  " Well since I approve of you I'll be able to convince my father to like you but my mother is a tuff one."

Rose:  "Oh."

Jessica:  " But you two will be fine. Where's my onii-chan by the way?"

Rose:  " With your parents."

Jessica:  "Why?"

Rose:  "To convince them to put back the shop."

Jessica:  " Aki's shop???"

Aki:  "..."

Rose:  "Yup...."

Jessica:  "I love that place! They can't do that to my onii-chan or my
aki-kun!"

Rose:  "Aki-kun?"

I looked over to aki who was blushing a bit.

Aki:  "umm."

Jessica:  "Oh yea that's right you don't know."

Rose:  "Don't  know what?"

Jessica:  "Aki and I are dating."

(WHAT!?!? 0.0)

She kisses his cheek and holds his hand.

Aki:  "I thought they couldn't know."

Rose:  "...."

Jessica:  "My parents and momoi will know soon Aki-kun. It doesn't have to be a secret anymore."

Aki:  "Good because it was hard to not be able to kiss you when you came to the shop."

Jessica:  "Well we couldn't let momoi know could we?"

They smile at eachother then kiss.

(Aweeeee)

Jessica:  "You didn't tell me about what my parents did though. We have much to discuss and you get it back."

Aki:  "I know...and thanks."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 months later

Aki got his shop back almost a month and a half ago and his relationship with Jessica has been revealed to everyone. Momoi's parents were convinced to accept me  thanks to Jessica, but his mother doesn't really like me that much.

I was at the shop baking. I finished up a  few cheesecakes and cookies, cleaning up my work area as I feel some warm hands cover my eyes.

???:  "Hello."

I smile recognizing Momoi's voice.

Rose:  "It's me."

Momoi:  "huh?"

Rose:  "I was wondering if after all this time you'd like to meet."

Momoi let go of me and sighed as he knew the song.

Momoi:  "Oh god no..."

Rose:  "To go overrrrrrrr everything."

Momoi:   "Rose no stoppppp."

Rose:  "Why should I?"

Momoi:  "Because that song is annoying..."

Rose:  "Well I like it."

Momoi:  "..."

Rose:  "So..."

Momoi:  "So...?"

Rose:  "So hello from this outsideeeeeee I must've called a thousand timesssssss."

Momoi:  "Stopppp calling."

He kisses me so I can stay quiet and I kiss back. He pulls back slowly and smirks slightly.

Rose:  "..."

I stay quiet and look away as I try to hide my reddish cheeks from him. He then hugs me while kissing softly and lovingly my cheek.

Momoi:  "Are you excited for tomorrow?"

Rose:  "Maybe."

Momoi:  "What do you mean by "maybe"  , it's our wedding."

Rose:  " It is!?!?"

I act as if I forgot to see his reaction.

Momoi:  "You forgot!?!"

Rose:  " Nah I'm just messing with you."

Momoi:  " Well that wasn't really funny...."

Rose:  "Love ya."

Momoi:  "Mhmm..."
