My Baby’s Daddy Is Mr CEO

Chapter 27

“Okay, I think that is all,” Rosie said as she locked the door and climbed down the threshold to Sammy who was waiting in the car.

She got into the front seat beside him and sighed. “You know I could have used your help on the inside,” Rosie grumbled

“Oh, I had no idea, you should have called out to me then,” Sammy replied in his defense.

“Really? I should have called you before you would know that I would need your help, you were supposed to know,” Rosie argued.

“Okay, calm down, you already brought everything now, so why are you so upset?” Sammy queried.

He wondered why she was always aggressive and hostile. Was she like this with everyone or was it just him?

Rosie sighed, “Yeah, you are right, I am sorry.”

Sammy hummed and ignited the car, then he matched the accelerator and they were off to the highway.

Rosie could see that he was still upset with her; she understood why he had to be. She was always lashing out on him, even when he was not at fault or when it was nothing worth getting angry about.

“Look Sam, I am really sorry, it’s just that I have this anger management issue and it always seems to be triggered when I am around you.” She confessed.

“But why? What have I done?” Sammy asked and turned to her.

“Nothing, I … I just can’t explain it,” she replied and sighed, then relaxed her head on the seat’s head foam.

“Hmm… that is weird, maybe we should work on that then, we could start by getting to know each other better. What do you think of dinner together?”

Rosie smiled. “Well that is not a bad idea, we could do that but not tonight, I have to stay with Arianna at the hospital tonight.”

“Yeah… sure, I also have plans for tonight so we can do it some other time.” Sammy replied.

“Really? What plans do you have?” Rosie queried.

“Oh, I have a date,” Sammy replied softly.

“Oh,” Rosie muttered in disappointment and looked out of her side of the window. She guessed that he had someone in his life, so he was not interested in her after all.

“Yeah, a date with my laptop, Oliver missed a day at work so I have a lot of work to handle tonight,” Sammy added and Rosie`s face brightened up.

“I see, a date with your laptop, silly.” She muttered and chuckled.

“Did you think I meant a date with… like a partner?”

“Honestly… yes!” she replied and laughed.

“Hmm… I wish, but unfortunately… relationships don’t work out for me,” he confessed.

“Huh? Why? I mean why not?” Rosie queried.

Sammy sighed; he did not know if it was a good idea to talk to her about this, no one apart from Oliver knew that much about him.

“Well, it is nothing much, just that I have not found the person who understands me and accepts me for who I am,” He replied

Rosie giggled. “Well, you are quite a difficult man to understand, don’t get me wrong, it is not a bad thing but you just need to be open to people, I am sure that would help them understand you.”

“Hmm… you sound like my mom,” Sammy said and laughed softly.

“Your mom, tell me about her…”

“Oh, well she is a nice woman, she is strong and caring. She and my dad live in Paris.”

“Paris? That is quite far away,” Rosie interrupted

“True, well things are a bit complicated, but they are better over there.”

“Okay, so do you have siblings?” Rosie queried.

“Yes I do, two brothers who happen to be twins and a sister.” He replied

“Wow, that is a cool family you got there.”

“Yeah, I guess… what about yours?”

Rosie was silent for a while, and then a drop of tear rolled down her eye.

“Rose, are you okay?” Sammy asked when he noticed she was crying. His eyes left the road and darted to her.

“Yeah I am fine; it is just that… you see, I don’t have a family.” She confessed.

“What? That makes no sense, you have to have a family, I mean, no one comes out of nowhere.” Sammy said and pulled over.

“You are right, but all I know is that my mom left me on the streets and fled when I was just three, I don’t know what her reasons were and I don’t care to know. I was found and taken in by an NGO, a sort of motherless babies home.

But when I was ten, they couldn’t take care of me again. They sent me to live with a certain couple. At first they were nice to me, the man in particular was very nice to me. However, at a point his wife got jealous of me, she accused me of things which I couldn’t even think of at that age.

And so she threw me out of the house. I have been surviving on my own since then; I have met a lot of people since then, most of whom should not be trusted. A lot of people have hurt me in the past, and that contributed to my lack of trust in humanity, at least until I met Aria in high school.

I saved her from this bully back then and we became best of friends. I have done a lot of terrible things in my life Sam, things I had to do to survive, I regret all that but unfortunately, you can never get away from your past, it is always a part of you,” Rosie stated as the tears flowed freely down her eyes.

“No, please don’t cry,” Sammy said and pulled her closer to his chest. “It doesn’t matter what you have gone through in the past and things you have done, but you still have your future, you have friends and that’s all that matters. You should make a good future with that, you have a second chance to amend your mistakes as long as you are breathing, so please don’t feel bad,” he consoled

Sammy could not help but feel her pain; he knew the kind of burden it was to her, because he had been in a similar situation.

Rosie finally stopped crying and sat upright; she brought out a handkerchief from her purse and dried her tears.

“You are right; I should not cry over the past, it is just so tragic that I can’t resist crying. That is why I don’t tell people about my past, only Aria knows all this, but I suddenly feel better after telling you, thank you.” She smiled

“You are welcome, now we better get to that hospital or my boss is definitely going to skin me alive,” He said and they laughed.

He got the car moving again and they remained silent. A lot of thought was surging through Rosie`s mind like waves, she wondered what had come over her. Why does she always act strange around Sammy? She is a kind of badass who can keep her emotions away, but with Sammy, she feels vulnerable.

Maybe that is why she was always hostile to him, she was afraid of letting her guard down or he would awaken feelings in her that she had buried away, she was afraid that she might fall in love again, something she had vowed never to do, her primary goal whether in relationship or business was money! But it looks like that perspective is changing now.
