The Dandelion Motel

Dante's Apology

Leon and Rosaline sleep in the same bed. They just lie down and look at each other. None of them wanted to speak or close their eyes. They both just kept that position.

"Are we going to keep this up until morning?" ask Leon.

"I'm going to sleep now" answered Rosaline and turned her back to the man.

"Don't turn your back on me, I don't like it!" said Leon while pulling the woman's body until her position became supine. And immediately Leon positioned his body on top of his body.

Leon looked at Rosaline seriously. "I want to ask you something very important."

"W-what?" asked the woman in a loud voice even though she was actually nervous in her heart.

"When are you gonna let me do it?"

"Do what?" the woman pretended not to understand Leon's question.

"Do this." With a sudden Leon pierced his lover's body to leave no distance of 1 inch and made Rosaline blink her eyes in shock. The woman's cheeks met in red, her eyes powerless to reply to Leon's gaze. Rosaline just fell silent, she did not know what to answer.

He already knew that sooner or later Leon must have asked for it, and up to when should he have avoided and rejected it? While he himself often can hardly control himself and wants it too.

"Honestly I can't control myself anymore, being around you like this is driving me crazy."

Leon is the type of person who always talks as is even impressed bluntly. He doesn't like complicated things.

"I'll ask you one more time. If I wanted it now, would you allow it? If 'Yes' I won't stop here, if 'no' I'm forced to hold it until you really allow it." asked the man in a serious tone and a washed-up look.

Rosaline shook her head slowly. There was disappointment in Leon's eyes but he still appreciated his lover's decision.

Leon returned to his original position while the woman was silent for a moment while staring at the ceiling. The man still looked at his lover fixedly. Rosaline then turned around and ventured to briefly kiss Leon's forehead, cheeks then her lips very gently.

"I'm sorry, Leon. I'm not ready to fulfill your wishes at this time." said Rosaline filled with guilt.

Leon hugged Rosaline and stroked the woman's head slowly.

"You didn't make a mistake. You're such a good woman, I almost forced you. I'm sorry." And then Leon kissed the woman's head.

Rosaline's heart rippled, she felt really guilty towards Leon. But on the one hand he still feels afraid also to keep his principles. Although Rosaline did not know until when she could keep him because every time he was near the man she felt weak and made him really captivated.

They both eventually fell asleep. Leon rested the woman's head with his arms and hugged her, as did Rosaline. The woman immersed her body in the thick body of her lover.

Today Rosaline dressed up neatly, she had a lunchbox in her hand and a gift.

"Yakk, you're not ready yet? Let's get ready now or we'll be late." grunts Rosaline at Dante who is still cool lying down while playing her phone.

"Wouldn't you go to the washroom again? Free, I won't want to see us." said Dante desperately.

Rosaline's face turned sad. Her mother always refused her visit. They last met after the trial.

"Don't be sad too long, live your life joyfully because that's what you always wanted. Forget that you still have a mother because she will only be a burden in your life. Promise me never to visit mom here even if you miss mom."

It was her mother's last words after the court ruled on her 10-year prison sentence for the accident that led to her husband's death.

Although her mother always refused to meet, Rosaline and Dante never stopped visiting her in between their free time.

"Are you really not coming? It's mom's birthday. Even if you don't want to see us, at least this food box gets to her" Rosaline said with teary eyes.

"All right, all right, let's go." she replied. Dante is indeed a very fad and naughty sister, but he will not bear to see his brother sad after all he also misses his mother very much.

They started greeting the prison staff. "you guys? Why are you still here?" abugn.

Rosaline and Dante threw gazes at each other and tried to understand the purpose of the field officer's question.

"Don't you know your mother's been released?" he added.

"When?" search Rosaline.

"Let's see." the clerk grabbed the notebook on his desk and began to open it sheet by sheet.

"2 months ago." obviously.

They came out of the washcloth with sad faces, especially Rosaline. His condition really doesn't look all right.

For 9 years Nancy refused to see Rosaline and Dante, and never once returned the letters they wrote to her. Now even after getting clemency for his good behavior in prison he actually decided to disappear from his children's lives.

This time it was Dante who took the helm. "Let's go to the beach." invite him to break the silence that had been lingering in the car. Rosaline only gave him a quick glance without commenting.

Now the brothers are sitting on the beach with a view towards the open sea.

"Did you remember, you and mom used to bring us here?" dante asked, trying to reminisce.

"Mm." Mmm." Rosaline assented with a nanar gaze towards the waves chasing each other.

"I know we have a lot of bad memories. The beren***k has ended our peaceful life. Dad died, mom went to jail, then sister had to sacrifice her teen years to work hard to support me and grandma. But now I'm bringing you here to remember our good times with mom and dad" he said suddenly.

"Are you going to be okay?" rosaline asked with a sad face.

"I'm sure you'll be fine, brother. Give me some time, when I'm ready, she'll meet us."

"Did you miss mom? I miss him so much" he said again.

"How is it, my sister has been taking care of me and taking care of me more than a mother can. So I never felt like I was losing my affection." Dante tried to comfort his brother. Though it cannot be denied in his heart he also misses his mother very much.

"Especially the hobby of nagging my sister makes me feel like a mother's care." he sneered.

"Chhhh, stop calling me mom! I'm not that old." Rosaline's snort indicates her mood has begun to improve.

"From now on you don't think about me anymore, I'll try to learn to be an adult and let you be happy. Forgive me for bothering you so much, forgive me for always asking and demanding. Sorry for all my childish sikaf all this time. I'm sorry, brother." his words floated and his tears fell.

Rosaline sighed before finally hugging her sister.
