The welcome ceremony -2

But suddenly god knows what happened to Lucas, he looked away from her. Neither did he flashed a smile at her nor he even tried to approached towards her. Then Rose's face suddenly becomes pale. She didn't expected that reaction from him. Then she saw him he is choosing a random girl of her department. At that moment all her happiness seems to crash down in front of her. It did hurt her very much. She had never ever imagined that Lucas will choose another girl apart from her. Sometimes high expectations are not good for our heart.

But suddenly someone from behind tapped on her shoulder. When she turned around to see who the person is it was non other than Daniel Rossi who was standing there flashing her a big smile which she was just expecting from Lucas some moments ago.

"Hey, Rosaline...how are you? why are you standing here alone and where is your partner?"

"Ummm....I'm fine Daniel, thanks for your concern and what about your self? and I guess that I have no partner I mean till now no one has approached to me either."

"Ohhh...I thought Lucas might be your partner today. ok no problem. If no one is there then I'm here. What about me huh?"

"You mean you want to be my partner?"

"Yeah, seems like that...I mean if you are interested then only I would like to be your partner."

"O..ok then." She said because she also wanted to make Lucas jealous at that time.

"Let's get to the dance floor miss Rosaline." Daniel told her by extending his right hand towards her and resting his left hand on his back side like a civilized gentleman. Rose really did like his gesture. She felt it genuine and nothing seems to be odd to her. But she had no idea that Daniel has other intentions for her. After that holding her hand they both were headed towards the dance floor.

Now they are dancing on a slow motion romantic song, but to Rose nothing seems to be romantic for her because her crush is now dancing with another girl just in front of her and the most hurtful part is he even didn't glanced towards her for once. So she thought that she will also not looking at them.

But on the other side Lucas was fuming with anger. 'How dare he touch my girl....Damn it!!! I have to do something right now!' Lucas thought to himself.

Today Lucas was really looking forward to share his whole day with Rose. How can he slip away this offer from his own hand. He was very excited also but one phone call and all his happiness got crushed in front of his own eyes. His father just told him that there is a girl named Liana who seems to be the daughter of his father's one of the best business partner and also a very close friend. So he had no other options left for him at that time. So he decided to give a cold shoulder to Rose so that she will stop expecting anything from him only for today and also he had made up a plan that tomorrow he will ask her to forgive him and also will tell her his reasons.

But he never thought that Daniel will be come in between them once again. When Daniel was talking with her he watched their every moment from the dance floor. and the moment he saw them approaching the dance floor he suddenly turns around as if he didn't saw anything. But deep down he was burning from jealousy.

On the other side Rose was busy in dancing with Daniel but never she saw him romantically for once. Her mind only gets drifted towards the only person Lucas but that man didn't even looked at her or give her a glance. 'Ohh...god why did this person is so much complicated?' She thought.

But she again tried to focus on Daniel but unable to do it. But in between her thoughts she had never noticed that Daniel's hand is now traveling from her shoulder to downwards towards her flat belly.

Just he was going to touch her belly, at that exact time a strong grip of hand suddenly stopped Daniel.The atmosphere also turned stiff for a moment.

"How dare you touch her in the wrong way?" Lucas asked Daniel in a very calm yet threatening voice.

"What are you talking about? we are just dancing ok and touching is the part of the dance, don't you know that? How can someone able to dance with his partner when there is no touching is allowed?" Daniel said in a very innocent tone as if he did nothing wrong and Lucas is the one who is exaggerating the whole situation for nothing any particular reason.

"Ok...are you done now? then you may leave from here." Lucas said to Daniel in the same way.

"What !!! no way... don't break the rule Lucas. I'm not saying anything that doesn't mean you can do anything as you want. She is my partner today. She had choosen me and I have choosen her than who are you that poking your nose in between us?" Daniel told him in a very irritating way. Seriously Daniel never thought that again Lucas will interfere between Rose and him.

"I'm repeating last time Daniel and I am warning you, leave her otherwise you can't bear the consequences." He said in a very dengerously voice. If anyone will listen to him then he/she will be easily get frightened and also won't ever dare to deny him. Same thing happened with Rose. Whenever she saw Lucas in this condition she becomes easily frightened by him. But this time Daniel didn't listen to him.

"Listen Lucas, what are you doing here by the way? You can't leave your partner in the halfway. It's against the rule you know that very well, then why are you trying to steal my partner from me?" Daniel said this time in a very angry voice.

"You both please calm down. No need to fight over this silly matter you guys and Lucas don't you have to go to your partner? Why are you here with us? Please go back." Rose said in a very sad tone. She was really really very much disappointed on Lucas. She thought, 'why did he come now and I can't let him do whatever he wants.' Today he did really really hurt her. So she really didn't wanted to talk with Lucas for now. She was not in the mood.

Now Lucas realised that Rose may be got really scared of his behaviour towards Daniel. So his eyes instantly got softened and told her,

"What are you saying?... for god's sake Rose, just open your eyes. I have warned you many times that stay away from this guy as much as you can. Why don't you listen to me Rose. Let's go from here. No need to stay here any more." Lucas said in a very annoyed voice.

"No... Lucas she will not going with you any where. She is my partner so let her decide with whom today she wants to spend her time and you can't force her to take the decision." Daniel said him with a slight smirk on his face as if he knew that she will definitely choose him today." So Rose tell us whom will you choose as your partner?" Daniel asked her.

Rose was now in dilemma. She badly wanted Lucas but something tells her in her mind that not to choose Lucas but her heart was saying the opposite. Finally she choosed her answer,

"Lucas, thank you for your concern...but I don't need your advice. I know what I'm doing and my final decision is I want to be with Daniel because he choose me and as per the rules I have to spend the whole day with him. So please go back to your partner." Rose said to Lucas in a very cold voice. Now Daniel is smirking very widely as if he own the fight for the first time with Lucas and indeed it's also true. But little did he know that this happiness of winning the game is remained only for a second. In the next moment he saw that Lucas is holding Rose in a bridal style by scooping her up in his arms...
