Heirs Of The Lombardis

The One With The Flower Pot

The next morning,as Rosalie entered her office and placed her phone on the table, Someone bursted into the room, not bothering to even knock.

"Hey! What is this behavior?". She said. Rosalie's heart skipped a beat when she saw Kian standing in front of her, red in anger. She never saw him this angry before.

"Are you okay?". She asked, frozen at her place.

"Are YOU okay?". He glared at her.

"What.. do you mean?". Rosalie rubbed her hands together as beads of sweat formed on her forehead.

"You went on a date with Benji, right?". Kian asked.

"I did". She nodded. "Is that a problem?".

"He is my rival.. he used to be my rival in highschool and college.. he was always on a competition with me. You went on a DATE with him? Seriously?". He walked at her.

"It's my life, Kian.. did I ever questioned you about who you were dating?". Rosalie asked.

"I am dating no one". He replied.

"Like I'm gonna believe you". She chuckled sarcastically. "Listen up, Edwins! You shouldn't care who I date.. and he's YOUR rival, not mine".

"How could you team up with my enemies.. you were supposed to be on MY side". Kian's expressions softened.

"I never said I teamed up with him. You know very clearly that he treats me well. How his attitude is towards you and Vivian is none of my concern.. you both treat him the same way. Remember how you both burnt his highschool diploma without no reason?". She responded. "I really wanted to work on my love life, Kian. I took an initiative. He asked me and I agreed to try not to break his poor little heart and bring change in my OWN life too".

"What about me, Rose?". Tears filled his eyes.

At the meantime, Vivian entered the room.

"What about you?". Rosalie crossed her arms.

"I love you". He replied.

Rosalie was taken aback. Her eyes widened and she swallowed the lump in her throat. "Wh-what?".

"You heard me, Rose". Kian said.

"But.. but I thought..". Rosalie was trying to find some words. Her eyes darted between him and Vivian. ".. aren't you and Vivian together?".

"What!?". Kian was surprised. He looked back at Vivian who was as shocked as him.

"Have you lost your mind? He's always been in love with YOU, Rose". She said.

"But I heard..". Rosalie tried to process the situation. "You know what? Nevermind.. even if you love me or not.. I don't care.. you took too long to confess".

Kian was clearly hurt by what she said. "It was just a date.. it's not that something's going on between you two! I've been with you for Eleven years, Rosalie!".

"Why didn't you confessed before?".

"How did you got the idea that I and Vivian were together? Is it even possible?". Kian approached her and grabbed her wrist.

"I overheard part of your conversation.. which was a friendly conversation but I thought you two were romantically interested in each other. I was furious that you didn't told me so to get back at you both, I didn't cared asking for your advice before going out with him". Rosalie expertly mixed lies with the truth.

"Give me a chance?". Kian pleaded.

"Chance? Oh no, Kian.. I have to plan avoiding Benji today.. I have too much on my plate already". She pulled her hand away.

"Rose!?". Kian was very surprised.

"Love isn't for me, Kian.. I don't think I'll ever be able to love anyone else in my life". She bore his love deep in her heart and decided not to confess.

"Rose-".

"Don't ruin our years old friendship". She interrupted him.

"I loved you since I don't remember when and I thought you loved me too!". Kian started sobbing.

"Kian, I don't wanna talk right now..". She scoffed and left the office.

"Okay, I got Bianca's address". Adam stooped, placing his hands on his knees and taking a long breaths.

"You look like you ran from a lion". Venturo patted on his back.

"Lion? Oh no! I'm excited to meet Rhea..". Adam stood up straight.

"Don't tell me you have a crush on her without even seeing her". Venturo smiled.

"Well you can say that..". He scratched his neck.

Venturo laughed out loud. "You'll never change".

They were standing near the road, talking to each other when Adam noticed an ice cream truck at the opposite end of the road. "Venturo! Ice cream".

Venturo followed his gaze towards the ice cream truck. "Go get it.. chocolate for me".

Adam ran through the traffic like wind as Venturo stood at the same spot, rubbing his palms.

Adam bought to ice creams and turned around, grinning at Venturo. He smiled back. But Adam's smile faded away when he looked above Venturo's head. "Oh no!". The ice creams fell from his hands and he ran at Venturo.

Before ge could reach there, A flower pot resting at the edge of the balcony above fell and hit Venturo on his head.

"VENTURO!". Adam shouted.

He fell on the ground unconscious.

"Jesus!". Adam exclaimed and approached him taking his head in his lap. "Venturo? Open your eyes".

People surrounded him.

"Call an ambulance". A man said.

"Rosalie has turned into a cold-hearted bitch". Kian said as he sat with Vivian in his office.

"She'll be fine". Vivian consoled him.

Meanwhile, Nurse Fred came inside with a knock. "Umm, mind telling where Doctor Rosalie is?".

"She's in the ward, looking after the Train Crash victims". Vivian replied.

"Okay". Fred nodded and closed the door.

Rosalie was making small talk with the patients when Fred walked at her.

"Doctor Rosalie".

"What is it?". She turned around.

"We need you in the emergency.. a guy got hit on the head by a flower pot and there's no bleeding.. he's not conscious". Fred said.

"Jesus! Let's go". She rushed out of the ward.

"What's the condition?". Rosalie hung her stethoscope in around her neck, as she stepped inside the ICU.

The other doctor filled her in with details. "He lost consciousness as soon as he got hit. There's not sign of any bleeding, we suspect internal bleeding. There's a small hump on his head".

"Hmm". She approached the patient lying on the stretcher.

It was Venturo. She was mesmerized to see his handsomeness. His perfect jawline caught her attention immediately and the long, thick eyelashes were worth noticing. "Damn". She whispered as her cheeks flushed.

The other doctor made her come back to reality. "Are you okay?".

She looked at him. "Y-yeah". Rosalie wore gloves and mask and started inspecting him.

After a while, Rosalie came out of the ICU.

"Doctor?". Adam ran at her. "Is my buddy okay?".

"Yes.. he's perfectly fine. I'm surprised there was no bleeding although we thought there might be some internal bleeding.. but he's all good now. He'll come back to his senses in a while and then you can meet him". She smiled.

"Will you keep him at the hospital or let him go?". Adam questioned.

"48 hours.. if no signs of internal bleeding occur, you can take him afterwards..". Rosalie replied.

"Thank you so much". Adam said thankfully.

She nodded and left for lunch.

At Dusk, Venturo came back to his senses.

Adam was allowed to see him. "I was freaking worried!". He said as soon as he entered.

"Hey you!". Venturo smiled at him.

"I didn't thought you'll be this week that you will land in the hospital bed by getting hit by a.. POT!". Adam pecked on his forehead and sat on the small couch nearby. "I mean, you're a Vampire!".

"Shh". Venturo shushed him. "What was the doctor saying?".

"She said you have to stay here for two days". Adam replied. "She thinks you might be bleeding internally.. these humans are so dumb!".

"How do you know?".

"We're Vampires! We don't have blood running in our veins". Adam chuckled.

"Oh". Venturo gave a nod.

"How do you feel?". Adam asked.

"I'm fine.. there's this headache..". He replied.

"I'm sure you'll be fine when you see the doctor! She is HOT! Really Really Hot". Adam said.

"O..kay? And you have a crush on her?". Venturo chuckled.

"Umm, no?". Adam shook his head. "She's not my type".

"Hmm". Venturo smiled.

The door opened and Rosalie stepped in with a big smile on her face. "Howdy, Boys". She greeted.

Venturo looked at her. His eyes widened. "Whoa!".

"Told you". Adam whispered and stood up. "Doctor!". "How is your buddy doing?". She took his file and read it.

"He's doing good now, but he has a headache". Adam replied.

"Ofcourse he does.. I mean, getting hit on the head by a pot!". She chuckled and went closer to Venturo.

He was still staring at her with wide opened eyes.

Checking his temperature, she nodded. "You were supposed to have a fever but you don't".

Venturo was about to look away when he noticed something. "Blue eyes, dimpled cheeks and chin, smiles just like... Oh My God, is this Rhea?". He talked to himself.
