As she strolled down the stairs of her apartments, Rose hummed softly to herself. It had been such a good night. Not even because nothing bad happened, but because great things were happening. She got to gossip with Misa, watch Hiro waste his whole paycheck, eat Stefano's amazing dip, hang out with Guillermo, become reunited with Seth. Tonight was going just perfect. And it would continue to be perfect. Guillermo and her would sleep in her room, after a hasty cleaing off the bed, and do... what Rose's and Guillermo's did when they were alone, Seth would sleep on the pull out couch. Hell, she might try to even get him a job at the shop.
She wondered what they were talking about. Solving the worlds problems, that was the joke her Mother made whenever men were left to talk. Unless the worlds problems could be solved wit h skate boards and hotwiring, Rose doubted it. Unlocking her and Guillermo's mailboxes, she grabbed the heaping pile of mail, that the two had collected.
What had that kiss been about? She'd have to watch herself a bit better, quite letting her guard down. Lest Mallory's prediction came true... But it wouldn't. Rose didn't believe in love, and if she was wrong about that, she certainly didn't want anything to do with it.
Yes, that she was sure of.
Opening the door, she held up the mail. "The mailman must hate us... I'll just put this on the counter, okay?" She said, too distracted to access anything.

"She sure is something," said the visitor, taking a long swig of alcohol. "She always has been. Something I mean. Sensitive, deep down too. You wouldn't know it. Bet she's a fucking cat in the sack... guess you would know that though... She really seems to like you. Well, don't get use to it. She always does."
Guillermo's insides boiled. He sounded devious and angry. He was goading him.
"Alejandro, take it from me. I know from experience. She seems real sweet and cuddly now. But soon she'll get bored, and then she'll drop you in the trash like yesterday's newspaper. Poof, you'll be gone. But you know what? I'll still be here. The faithful and loving friend. You'll be gone like Poof, and I'll be right here. So why not just leave with your dignity? Go mow a lawn or something..."
Seth laughed, and Guillermo felt a rage roaring inside of him. A burning desire to make this guy bleed out his skin just as white as his prejudices.
"Oh, I know you won't. It won't make a difference. All I need is time. And I gotta tell you, after six years, you learn to be pretty fucking patient. Don't bother tattling. I'm the contrite and redeemed childhood friend. You're just the guy she's fucking..."
That hit Guillermo like a dagger.
But she's my friend too.
Yeah, the friend she gets to bang when she's bored, another part of his mind murmured
That's not how it is though.
That's exactly how it is.
Rose means more to me than that. A lot more.
"But by all means, if you want to hit me, do it. I'd love for it. I'm begging for it."
Seth's anger was contagious. Guillermo was aching to throw a punch and wipe the stupid smirk from the guy's face. Why was he so hated by this fucker?
It hit him.
"You're jealous."
He sat forward, gazing at Seth through narrowed eyes.
"That's kinda sick, you know that? You come here and make me mad and glare at me instead of telling the girl how you feel about her."
The door clicked and opened, Rose coming in with a stack of mail.
"The mailman must hate us... I'll just put this on the counter, okay?"
He nodded distractedly.
Seth's eyes glinted maliciously.
Someone was going down. |

 DOWN DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND[/font] S U G A R WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING[/i][/center][/size][/color][/font] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/size][/font][/color] After Seth's pretty little speech, Guillermo was quiet. It was a slight disappointment that he didn't hit him, but oh well. It was only a matter of time. "You're jealous." Seth looked as if he had been struck in the face. "That's kinda sick, you know that? You come here and make me mad and glare at me instead of telling the girl how you feel about her."
Why that dirty, flithy, greasy-
"The mailman must hate us... I'll just put this on the counter, okay?"
Instantly, he put on a genuine-looking smile, as if he and Guillermo had been having a merry little chat. Rose made her way into the kitchen, and the chipper face turned into a snarl. He wanted Guillermo to know he'd pay for what he just said to him. No one disrespected him. No one. Staring right into his shit colored eyes, he yelled to Rose in the kitchen. "Hey Rosie, Baby? Mind getting me another beer?"
He needed to goad this shit stain. Do it discreetly, but still. He smirked at Guillermo, trying to get a rise out of him. Mouthing the word 'spik' at him, his cool blue eyes glittered with anticipation. C'mon, hit me. Do it. I dare you. Rose would see the Monster Guillermo was. He had seen his type before. The Quiet, dangerous kind. She was far too good of a girl for that. She was too good for Guillermo.
Standing up, he went to greet Rose, wrapping his arms around her in a backwards hug. "Missed you Rosie." He muttered, smelling her hair discreetly.

In the kitchen, Rose set down the pile of mail, completely unaware of what was occurring in her living room. Her mind was more focused on finding her pack of cigarette's. Her purse maybe? Which one? Oh dear.... Instead of fretting about it too much, she pulled a new pack out of her freezer, packing it on the heel of her hand. From the living room, she heard Seth's voice call out to her. "Hey Rosie, Baby? Mind getting me another beer?"
She laughed, rolling her eyes. "What am I? The Beer Bitch?" Rose yelled back, slightly muffled by her lighting her cigarette. She opened the fridge calling out to them. "Guillermo? You want another one?" Again, without waiting for an answer, she grabbed another for him. If he wasn't finished with his, she could always have it, after all. It was weird for her sip off his. Girlfriend-y.
Heading back out to the living room, she was cut off by Seth, who hugged her from behind. She placed his beer in his hand, as he muttered into her ear. "Missed you Rosie."
She chuckled, patting his arm with her now free hand. "Don't get weepy on me Seth, you know crying creeps me out." It was true, even if she did laugh at it. The saying: There is no crying in baseball... well that was the motto for the life of Rose. Continuing on to the living room, breaking his grasp, she sat on the couch, and looked at Guillermo's face. He looked... upset. "¿Qué pasa?" She knew it bugged Seth, when she spoke Spanish. But it was such an instinctual thing, she barely thought about it.

Spik.
The word hung silently in the air, soaring to hit him in the face.
"Hey Rosie, Baby? Mind getting me another beer?"
He was dead.
He'd murder that fucking gringo. Come on, just try him. He'd be on his face in an alleyway, crying for his prison cell again.
NO ONE, especially not honkies like Seth, could call him that.
Guillermo was on his feet in seconds, but Seth was flouncing into the protection of Rose. He hugged her from behind, earning a horrific glare from Guillermo.
"What am I? The Beer Bitch? Guillermo? You want another one?"
He didn't hear her, sitting back down and holding his head in his hands, trying to clear it. He made his heart rate return to normal and breathed slowly.
"Missed you Rosie."
His head snapped up as he heard the whisper into Rose's ear.
It was meant to be heard and he felt unreasonably betrayed when she giggled.
"Don't get weepy on me Seth, you know crying creeps me out."
She sat beside him again. He looked into her confused blue eyes.
"¿Qué pasa?"
"Yo- Nada, sólo tengo un dolor de cabeza." He glanced up at Seth. Surely he couldn't speak Spanish. Even if he could, it was nice to rub this in his face.
"Te ves caliente, te he dicho eso?" One eyebrow went up as he gave a somewhat sly smile. |

DOWN DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND [/font] S U G A R WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING[/i][/center][/size][/color][/font] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/size][/font][/color] She flounced away, dismissing him almost instantly with a quick little "Don't get weepy on me Seth, you know crying creeps me out." before sitting right back down next to Guillermo. They began speaking Spanish, with Seth only understanding 'Whats up'. Would he tattle like a bitch? It didn't seem so as he was smiling.
Wait. Seth knew that smile. WAS HE FLIRTING WITH HER? Right in front of him? BASTARD! Seth would kill him. He'd stab him in his stupid, foreigner, face. Chop him up in little pieces, and send him back to WHATEVER village the fucker came from.
Seth had to stop this! Clearing his throat loudly, he stood up, staring at them. "Rose? Mind if I get a smoke?" Seth was trying to be patient, but damn, this guy was good. And their was no way Seth could get away with throwing the first punch. Maybe if he just got into his face? But what about? Rose would take Guillermo's side if he didn't go about this right.
But Seth was determined. He had waited, so long. He had dealt with every agonizing letter. Every X and O. IT WAS NOT ALL FOR NOTHING! Even if Rose didn't realize it, she loved Seth. And if she didn't, she would. He'd make sure of it.

"Yo- Nada, sólo tengo un dolor de cabeza." She gave him a concerned look, her head cocking to the side. His eyes glanced up at Seth, probably wondering if Seth could understand him, before adding on: "Te ves caliente, te he dicho eso?"
She tried to hold back the blush, glancing over at Seth conscientiously. "Guillermo, pórtate bien." Her lips said later, but her eyes glanced at him impatiently. No one could deny that Rose was attracted to Guillermo, not even Rose herself. And she was excellent at denying obvious truths. Her hand rested on his leg, half tempted to tell Seth to make himself comfortable while Guillermo and Rose went to go -insert excuse-. But no, that would be rude. "Si usted piensa que me veo bien ahora, esperar hasta más tarde. Pero sea paciente. Acaba de venir aquí."
Her head spun back over to Seth, who spoke with an edge of discontent. "Rose? Mind if I get a smoke?"
She smiled at him, figuring him to be annoyed with the Spanish. "Yeah, Hon, they're on the counter. Help yourself." She looked at Guillermo, whispering quietly. "He doesn't like when he can't understand whats going on. Makes him anxious. We should keep it English..."
After all, Rose didn't want Guillermo to think Seth was a jerk or anything.

Rose's cheeks flushed a light pink.
"Guillermo, pórtate bien."
"Tal vez no quiero que se comporten."
His grin became even more giddy as he spotted the absolute rage in Seth's eyes. Her hand was on his leg and the skin under her hand burned from her cold hands
"Si usted piensa que me veo bien ahora, esperar hasta más tarde. Pero sea paciente. Acaba de venir aquí."
"No puedo esperar. Te quiero ahora-"
"Rose? Mind if I get a smoke?" Seth butted in, very obviously uncomfortable.
Rose smiled at him. Guillermo just appeared to be vaguely interested. "Yeah, Hon, they're on the counter. Help yourself."
She leaned over to whisper to him.
"He doesn't like when he can't understand whats going on. Makes him anxious. We should keep it English..."
"Wouldn't speaking English make him even more uncomfortable if we were talking about the same thing as we just were? Quiero llevarte a casa esta noche, señorita. Usted es demasiado bella como para dormir sola," he breathed right back at her, brushing the hair out of his eyes.
God, he loved being Mexican. |

DOWN DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND [/font] S U G A R WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING[/i][/center][/size][/color][/font] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/size][/font][/color] As he left to get a cigarette, he imagined various ways he could kill Guillermo. He could wait until winter, let an icicle 'accidentally' fall on him. He could screw with the breaks of his car. He could break into his house and suffocate him with a pillow while he sleeps.
No, no.
He wanted to watch the life drain from this bastards eyes. The whispering was the worse, as the hairs stood up from the back of his neck. "Wouldn't speaking English make him even more uncomfortable if we were talking about the same thing as we just were? SPANISH SPANISH SPANISH!"
Lighting the stove to light his cigarette, he tried to think of a way to stop this agony. He needed to be quick. Seth couldn't take this purgatory any longer! Staring at the stove, the flame licking around so temptingly, his heart stop. Yes. A moment of pain to stop whatever was happening in the living room.
He put his hand in the flame, letting out a variety of obscenities, before removing it. Take that Guillermo. See if she'd be so keen to listen to your fucking sweet nothings now. Damn this hurt. But it was worth it. Definitely worth it. Falling to his knees, he held his hand like it was a new born infant, trying not to let tears well up in his eyes.
No, crying creeped his Rose out. He could handle this.

Guillermo was doing his best to make this as hard as possible. His refusal to behave, his tempting, smooth, voice. "Wouldn't speaking English make him even more uncomfortable if we were talking about the same thing as we just were? Quiero llevarte a casa esta noche, señorita. Usted es demasiado bella como para dormir sola," If Rose would allow herself to swoon, that would have been the moment she did. Already she could feel her resolve melting away like a child's Popsicle in the middle of July.
Seth was a big boy. He could handle being alone, even if it was just for a little while. They could go, return, and he'd be none the wiser. Nuzzling up to Guillermo's face, she smirked and purred. "Diablillo" A soft laugh came from her, nipping his ear. Yeah, she was pretty sure Seth would be alrigh-
Obscenities.
Snapping up, her blue eyes went from 'seduced' to 'fearful' in the matter of a second. "Seth?" She called, already on her feet and rushing to the kitchen. "OH GOD!" She gasped, dropping to her knee and turning off the still lit stove. "What did you do?" Arm around him, she looked at his burned hand, which was already shining with the makings of a blister. "Guillermo, there is some aloe and a first aide in my bathroom, can you get it for me?"
Pushing her hair out of her face, she gave Seth a sympathetic look, wondering how the hell he managed that.

"Diablillo" Rose said quietly, her face inches from his.
God, she was sexy.
His heartbeat quickened and nearly stopped.
A string of curse words echoed from the kitchen.
Rose jumped up like Wonder Woman on a mission calling her friend's name.
"Seth? OH GOD! What did you do?"
Guillermo sat on the couch still, stunned.
Why that little shit.
"Guillermo, there is some aloe and a first aide in my bathroom, can you get it for me?"
He got up and went to the bathroom and returned with what she asked for.
He looked down at the guy she had her arms around and felt a genuine loathing deep inside him. What a bastard.
Seth had done it on purpose, he knew it. The issue was that he couldn't prove it to Rose. And Seth knew that. He made sure that Seth could see his icy stare as he handed Rose the first aid kit. |

DOWN DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND [/font] S U G A R WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING[/i][/center][/size][/color][/font] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/size][/font][/color] His plan worked perfectly. He had Rose's undivided attention. "What did you do?" He looked at her, wincing pathetically, playing it up, soaking in all the concern in her voice like a sponge. "Guillermo, there is some aloe and a first aide in my bathroom, can you get it for me?"
Seth explained, thinking off the top of his head. "Sorry, I was lighting my cigarette, and got distracted..." That sounded feasible. It also offered him a great deal of pleasure that Guillermo was fetching things for him. Like a dog. Like a House boy. With Rose absorbed in his injured hand, he took the opportunity to stare at Guillermo smugly.
"Thanks Guillermo, you're a pal." It was very difficult to control the laughter wanting to pour out of him. Instead, he let it speak for him. Oh, you're quite right Guillermo, this was on purpose. See what I'll do to make sure I get what I want. Do you really want to do this little dance? Because I've only just begun, bitch. Go on, try to tell her your suspicions. Go on, try to convince her somebody willingly put their hand on top of a lit gas stove. "I can be so clumsy sometimes...."
She'll think your crazy.
A little chuckle escaped, but he effectively turned it into a cough before it could be detected.

"Sorry, I was lighting my cigarette, and got distracted..." Rose rolled her eyes. It was like having an infant in the house. Worse, an infant who could reach things in high places. Taking the aloe and the first aid kit from Guillermo, she began cleaning his wound, completely oblivious still of what was going down between Guillermo and Seth. To her, Seth was accident prone. "Thanks Guillermo, you're a pal. I can be so clumsy sometimes...."
"Don't apologize. It was an accident." Rose said, completely absorbed in what she was doing. The wound clean, she rubbed some aloe on his hand gingerly. Finally, she wrapped it in gauze, latching it with a bobby pin. "Though, you could try and be a bit careful. It isn't like you've got insurance or anything." She handed him her lipstick stained cigarette, taking a new one and lighting it carefully.
She gave Guillermo a sheepishly apologetic look, but not all around surprised. Rose gave him a gentle punch in the arm, lightening the mood as she headed back to the living room, mistaking his shock and disbelief for concern.
She knew it would come soon, where Seth asked if he could stay. It was a scary thought, as he could be... well, he was dear to her... but... DAMN, he could be a mood killer. Especially on his down days. Those could be straight up exhausting. At some point, she'd have to pull Guillermo aside and explain everything.

"Sorry, I was lighting my cigarette, and got distracted...Thanks Guillermo, you're a pal. I can be so clumsy sometimes...."
Seth's eyes laughed, despite the somber tone.
Guillermo glared back over Rose's shoulder.
Pal, my ass.
"Don't apologize. It was an accident."
She said, then sounding a bit like a mother scolding a child,
"Though, you could try and be a bit careful. It isn't like you've got insurance or anything."
He felt as if there was a type of analogy to go along with what was happening here.
Rose was like the mom. Fun, but she didn't take your shit.
He was like the step-dad. Just cuz he was screwin' mom.
And Seth was like the bratty kid that he had to be nice to.
The mom thought her kid was sweet and precious.
Be mean to the kid and you lose the girl. Complain about the kid and you lose the girl. She had to catch him in the act.
He caught Rose's apologetic gaze and he shrugged. No big deal.
Except it was.
She just didn't know it yet. |

DOWN DOWN IN AN EARLIER ROUND [/font] S U G A R WE'RE GOING DOWN SWINGING[/i][/center][/size][/color][/font] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [/size][/font][/color] Seth was going to say something clever to Guillermo, when Rose walked away. But he got distracted... by her walking away. What a sight that was. He didn't try to hide it either. Oh no, he wanted Guillermo to see. When she vanished into the living room, he smiled at Guillermo. "Mmm. Isn't that something?" He asked in a soft voice, licking his lips. "I'm sorry, i didn't interrupt something, did I?" In a mock contrite voice, he followed his love out to the living room, smiling at her sprawled out body.
God, she was sexy.
Given the time of his imprisonment, Seth was still dealing with that pesky virginity thing. It made her all the more tantalizing. "Rosie? I have been meaning to ask you... I mean. I feel embarrassed. But-" He sat down next to her, giving her his most earnest eyes. "My Father is on my ass, and won't let me live with him and Ma because of the whole jail thing. So I was wondering... what do you think about me moving in here with you?"
His smile was hopeful, innocent. He had all but forgotten Guillermo's presence, staring at her face. She was perfect. And, with him living here, it would be so easy.
Guillermo seems a little shady, are you sure you can trust him?
He seemed to get home pretty late last night, Rosie...
I don't like how he looks at you, like you're an object.
All he needed her to say was yes.
