Christoph looked up so fast I thought he might break his neck. A tall man, somewhere in his thirties, stood menacingly, staring straight at us. His eyes were filled with absolute fury, and his mouth was contorted into a sickening grin. His shadow seemed to creep.

"What is this?" He asked Christoph, crossing his arms.

Christoph pulled away from me, and gently pushed me behind him. Which kind of pissed me off as I was no damsel in distress, but also alarmed me as his eyes flashed with fear.

"You are supposed to be dating Yancy." He growled, taking a step closer.

"I told you I don't want to." Christoph whispered.

"Does your contract tell you that what you think matters? You don't own your life anymore. I do. And I will keep on doing whatever I want." He glared.

Christoph glared, but said nothing.

"I told you to forget about this girl," he said as he took another step forward "but you go behind my back and do whatever you want anyway. You know what, I've decided that you're not earning me enough money." He smiled.

"Oh yeah?" Christoph questioned.

"I've been talking with Yancy's manager, and we've come to an agreement." 

"Oh what the hell now?" 

"You and Yancy are going to get married." 

Christoph clenched his fist as his eyes widened. I felt like a brick, useless and stiff. There was nothing I could do.

"And if I refuse?" Christoph challenged, meeting his managers eyes.

"As your contract states, if you decide to become a problem, your family will owe me all of my money that I've been giving them. Imagine all the money I would get from the press! A wedding between celebrities! Money would be rolling in from everywhere!" He laughed.

"It's my money." 

"Never was you idiot." He manger chuckled.

Christoph looked down, his face pale and tinged green. His eyes became lifeless, emotion seeping out. Would I ever be able to see them like I had saw them only moments ago? With laughter, love and kindness, towards me? He ground his teeth, and stared at the ground.

"Now hold on a moment."

A familiar blonde head walked up from behind Christophs manager, as he tapped him on the shoulder he waved a piece of paper in front of his face.

"Where did you get that from?" The manager asked, shocked as he made a wild grab for it.

"Where I got it from doesn't matter. The fact is I've been reading it over and analysing it for two minutes and can already see how dumb you are." Jake laughed, easily dodging the managers lurches.

He walked up to the confused Christoph and handed him the contract.

"I've never liked this business. So I've been studying at the best law schools around the world to become the best lawyer." Jake spat, " so I can put men like you in your place."

The manager stepped backward in lost composure, but quickly regained his balance. He snickered, as if Jake didn't faze him.

"As section four states in this contract, Christoph may never have another manager, unless he is dropped. But section seven states that if he were to get a new manager, he would have to ask the permission of your boss, my father, which renders the fact that he can't get himself another manager useless." Jake stated.

"Yeah so what?" The manager asked, sweat dripping down his face.

"He can get another manager if he wants to, dropping you. And if I was correct, after reading through it, he is able to leave with all of the money in your bank account in the event of him firing you." Jake laughed, "see how badly written this is now?"

The manager began to fidget.

"You can't do that! I won't let you." 

"Watch me." Jake challenged.

Pulling out another piece of paper, he shoved it into Christophs hands. Christoph carefully opened it, to reveal a contract almost exact to mine. 

"My father offers to be your manager. He is fair, and I have read over it. It's a good and true contract. While he may now be managing Rosa and Fluffy, what's one more? All it needs is your signature." Jake said pulling out a pen, and handing it to the amazed Christoph.

I glanced behind them and saw the manger slowly creeping up, his hands balled into tight fists. I ran in front of them.

"Fluffy!" I yelled.

Almost in a flash, Fluffy sped into view, stopping the manger in his tracks. I struck my hand fast towards the ground, and much faster then the first time, Fluffy mega evolved.

"Come one step closer to him, now or ever and I swear you will never see the light of day." I sneered.

The manger quickly spun on his heel, and ran as fast as his wedged man shoes would take him.

"Coward!" I yelled, laughing to myself.

I felt something from behind me, and quickly spun around to be embraced by Christoph. 

"I'll tell Yancy straight away, I promise!" He whispered, holding me tight. "We'll help her fight her battle as well, and get her money free too. I know I don't deserve you, but you are the most amazing girl I've ever met. When I first met you, I knew I wouldn't be able to let another guy touch you. I hope you know how important you are to me." He exclaimed, picking me up and whirling me around.

It felt as though all my worries were being whipped away by the wind, I almost felt upset when he gently placed me back on the ground.

"You're important to me too idiot!" I laughed, as tears prickled my eyes. 

His face met mine and his eyes filled with concern.

"What's wrong?" He worried, placing both his hands on my shoulders.

"I'm sorry I was such a prick." I muttered, sniffling.

"What do you mean?" 

"I couldn't help you, I didn't know how to help you and I'm so sorry. I really was being selfish."

"Rosa." Curtis whispered, placing a peck on my cheek.

He let go of my shoulders and knealt down.

"You're not going to propose are you?" Jake yelled to us.

"AMPHAROS AMPHA ROS!" Fluffy yelled SHUT UP JAKE CANT YOU SEE THEY ARE HAVING A MOMENT?!

Christophs face went beet red, and I could feel my tears being replaced with laughs. I could feel my ring, glowing softly, and pulsing happiness through me veins. It was a familiar feeling, like when Grandpa used to cuddle me by their old fashioned fire...I guess grandpa was happy with me. 

"I hope one day I can." Christoph whispered lovingly, staring into my eyes.

Now it was my turn to become a red hued vegetable.

"Rosa, will you be my girlfriend?" He asked, holding my hand.

I nodded vigoursly, no hesitation this time.

Christoph beamed, and leaped up, pulling me into a warm hug. But this hug was a little different. Instead he placed his lips onto mine, and I could feel a giddy and light feeling spread through my body. Inside I was fangirling, but on the outside I just kissed him back. As we pulled away, a childish grin made its way onto Christophs face.

"I love you Rosa."

"I love you too."
