《Control (Book 1 of Control Series)》Chapter 9
Advertisement
After, they put Rosaline to sleep they went to Sebastian's office where, both Dylan and Sebastian bombarded Jared with questions.
"How did you get her?"
"When did you meet her?"
"What happened to her leg?"
"Why did she jump when I called her name?"
Question, after question was fired at him and Jared's head swirled with them.
"Enough," he snapped.
Could he get even a moments peace?
"One at a time, please," Jared sighed, wanting to get it over with.
"What happened to her leg," Dylan barked and Jared wanted to slap him.
Who did he think he was talking to? Jared walked over to the mini bar and grabbed a bottle of Henry's, not even bothering to get a cup. His lips wrap around the opening of the bottle drowning down a few gulps before answering Dylan's question.
"When, she found out that I had adopted her, she ran out the room and fell down the stairs."
Dylan's jaw broadened and Jared could tell he was grinding his teeth.
"Why did she freak out downstairs when her name was called," Sebastian asked.
Jared shrugged.
"I don't know."
Dylan gave Jared a glare that would make any other person cringe.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Jared again shrugs and repeats, "I don't know."
Sebastian shifted in his seat behind his desk and clasps his hands together.
"What do you mean you don't know," Sebastian barked.
Jared snapped.
"I. DON'T. KNOW."
Dylan glared at him and he's reminded that Rosaline was sleeping next door. Jared took in a deep breath, so he didn't kill the irritating men in front of him.
"Well, what do you know about her," Dylan asked and throwing his arms up in exasperation, before sitting on Sebastian's desk, ignoring Sebastian's glare.
Jared sighed through his nose.
"All I know, is that her name is Rosaline Brianna Garonna, her birthday is July 15th, she's a scholar and that she's 17 years old," Jared stated. He wasn't surprised when Dylan glared at him so he didn't respond, but when Sebastian did, he flinched.
"That's all you know," Sebastian asked, slowly.
Jared could feel a pinch of fear enter his bloodstream.
Jared nodded, trying not to shake. "I tried to get a deep background search, but you know I don't have connections like you guys do."
Sebastian's glare slightly lessened, but Dylan's still remained ice cold.
"Well," Dylan started. "Let's try again, instead we'll to it together."
Dylan's glare if possible, turned colder at the word together. Dylan's still mad that he didn't tell him about Rosaline when he first met her, but Jared didn't regret it. Dylan has a habit of ripping things and people apart, without even meaning to. He and Sebastian knew that first-hand. Jared nodded and they went to work.
For the next hour, they tried to find some information about Rosaline, not having much luck. All they got was her age, name, birthday, the schools she went to and her grades, though all the information was after age 5. They couldn't even find what year she was born or where she was born, or even what hospital she was conceived in. Jared could his frustration mirrored on his friends faces.
"Why the fuck, can't we find her information," Dylan asked, lowly.
Jared shrugged and went over to Sebastian's wrap around bookshelf and picked out a book, tired of their pointless searching. He throws the book at Dylan who easily catches it and opens it up but doesn't read it. Sighing he walks over to the couch perched next to the end of the bookshelves and plops down on it, Sebastian doing the same. Silence falls and the door opens.

Rosaline stepped out Sebastian's bedroom and into the office, looking around and scanning the area. None of the men say anything, just content with staring at her. Jared sure was. She looked adorable with her bed head and the gown that swamped her.
Whose dress is that, Jared asked himself. Sebastian didn't have a sister or any woman in his life except- O. Sadness filled Jared and he gave Sebastian a sympathetic look. Sebastian caught it, and quickly looked away, sagging slightly. Jared looked at Rosaline in Percilla's dress. His throat became tight.
"How was your nap," Dylan asked, and Jared focused on the conversation and gripped it as if it were a lifeline.
Rosaline shrugged; Jared saw Dylan tense. He rolled his eyes.
"Words," Dylan demanded and she jumped.
Jared wanted to smack Dylan upside the head.
"Good," she whispered, and Dylan gave her a warm smile that never ceases to work to his advantage.
"How are you feeling," Dylan asked, and made his voice more gentle. She didn't answer for a minutes, and for a second Jared thought she wasn't going to answer.
"Just a little pi-tired," she says, quickly as she corrected herself.
Corrected what though, Jared wondered.
"Do you need to take another nap," Dylan asked and she shook her head, almost as if she were shy.
"Words," Dylan demanded.
"No, Daddy."
Everyone froze. Daddy? Jared looked over at Rosaline and watched as horror and embarrassment painted itself on her face as her face turned a bright red.
Jared, his friends and Rosaline all stand there frozen, all the attention on Rosaline who booked it. Dylan snapped out of his shock and ran after her. Sebastian and Jared exchanged look, before they went after Dylan and Rosaline. Jared ran in the direction Dylan and Rosaline went, but stopped when he heard a scream close by.
"What the fuck," Sebastian whispered.
Slowly, Jared tip toed down the hallway, Sebastian on his heels.
He stopped at the edge of a corner and took a peek over, Sebastian doing the same and saw Rosaline struggling in Dylan's arms.
"Let me go," Rosaline shrieked.
Jared took a step forward to intervene when Sebastian grabbed his arm
"No," Sebastian said and Jared nodded in understanding.
They needed to work whatever happened between them two out.
"No," Dylan stated, voice calm. "Rosaline you need to calm down-
-NOOO," Rosaline interrupted with a scream.
She kept squirming, over and over screaming for Dylan to let her go and Jared is shocked that he hasn't dropped her yet.
"Rosaline," Dylan, cooed her name like a mother coaxing her child. "Rosaline."
Endless tears, streamed down her face and her screams ceased.
"No," she sobbed. "Let me go."
Jared could feel his heart break. His poor, babygirl, he thought and blinked in surprise. Babygirl, huh. He shook his head and turned his attention back to the scene in front of him to see Rosaline had stopped struggling.
Dylan pulled her most securely in his arms and rocked her back and forth, repeatedly whispering, "it's okay."
He kept that up until sobs turned into sniffles.
"I'm sorry," Rosaline whispered so quiet that Jared had to lean in to hear it.
Dylan stopped rocking her back and forth and grabbed her chin and made her face him.
"You have nothing to apologize for Rosaline," He said reassuringly and the look that Rosaline gave him would've made him laugh if he didn't want to get caught eavesdropping.
Dylan chuckled.
"You don't and actually I liked it when you called me Daddy," He explained. "I actually want you to keep calling me that more often. Okay?"

To Jared's surprise she slowly nodded though with a bit of a frown. She really agreed to calling him Daddy? Sebastian stepped from behind the corner and began to walk towards the couple. Jared felt panic fill him. Sebastian, he wanted to scream. Get your ass back here. Not wanting to get caught though, he said nothing.
"Words, Rosaline."
"Yes, Daddy."
She blushed after calling him daddy and Dylan gave her a smile.
"You guys hungry," Sebastian asked.
Dylan jumped and Rosaline screamed and once again Jared wanted to laugh.
"Sebastian, what did I tell you about sneaking up on people," Dylan snapped.
Sebastian just rolled his eyes and took steps, stomping his feet until he was right in front of them.
"You guys hungry," Sebastian repeats and Dylan gave him a glare, while Rosaline giggled.
"Rosaline," Dylan called her name to get her attention and she did.
"Are you hungry?"
She nodded, but quickly stopped herself.
"Yes."
Sebastian nodded and went down the set of stairs to the kitchen and soon Rosaline and Dylan followed behind him. Jared waited until the sound of footsteps vanished and quickly went down the stairs and to the kitchen.
↔️ ⚜️ ↔️
After the whole scene that took place in the hallway, Sebastian makes several grilled cheeses- since it is the easiest thing to make- and pulls out four plates piling three plates with four grilled cheese sandwiches and the last one only with one grilled cheeses sandwich.
He carries them out to the table and gave each person their plate and sat at the end of the table, since it's his home. Jared gives Sebastian a thankful smile, from his seat to the left of him. He hadn't eaten anything today and his stomach is starting to eat itself. Jared takes a bite of his sandwich and swear his stomach sighed in relief. He looks across from himself, at Rosaline and watches as she looks at her sandwich, tentatively. Dylan too states at her, though has yet to touch his sandwich. She leans forward and when her nose is centimeters away from the sandwich, sniff it. Jared tries not to laugh while Dylan and Sebastian frown.
"It's melted cheese, and slightly burnt bread," Dylan states and Sebastian sends Dylan a glare.
"It's not burnt," Sebastian grumbles and Jared finally lets out a laugh.
Dylan ignores the two of them as he continues to look at Rosaline as he grabs the sandwich and takes a bite. He watches as Dylan watches Rosaline hesitantly picks up and take a bite out of it. She slowly chews it, before swallowing and taking a bite.
"Is it good," Dylan asks, as a slow smile spreads across his face.
Jared hold in a grimace and turns his attention to Sebastian who too is watching the duo.
"I guess you've improved, huh," Jared asks, with a chuckle, trying to distract himself from watching his friend fall in love with his babygirl.
Sebastian laughs loudly, getting the attention of Dylan and Rosaline.
"I guess so," Sebastian says after he sobers up from laughing.
Jared and Sebastian give each other a look, remembering a time when Sebastian couldn't even make toast without turning it into a lump of coal.
Feeling better, Jared picks up his grilled cheese sandwich and take a bite into it, noting that even though it's slightly burnt it only adds to the taste. He finishes off the first sandwich and is just about to finish off another, when Sebastian and Jared's phone buzz. He looks down to see a message from Dylan in the group chat. He unlocks his phone so he can read the whole message.
Dylan: I want her in my house, in my bed and in my life. She's staying with me.
Jared rolls his eyes. A part of him knew this was coming. He quickly sends a text to the group chat.
Jared: No.
The response is instant.
Dylan: Why?
Jared: 1) you just met her and 2) she just met you.
Jared furrows his brows and he hears Dylan scoff.
Jared: What?
Dylan: Of course, you'd say something like that Sebastian.
Jared chuckles, though it's short lived when Sebastian's reply comes.
Once again, Dylan's response is instant.
Dylan: Well fuckwads she'll never know us if we don't force her to do anything.
Jared scrunches his face up at being called a 'fuckwad'.
Jared sighs and lays his head on the back of the chair. His phone buzzes and he looks back down at the message.
Jared: ...
Dylan: Well, are you gonna say it or do I have to force you?
Jared: That's a good idea.
Dylan: Except the part where we ask her, instead of telling her.
Jared rolls his eyes again.
Jared: You are such a barbarian, Dylan.
Dylan: And if you keep rolling your eyes, they're going to fall out of your head.
Jared looks up from his phone and glares at Dylan, who just smiles, tilting his head.
There's no reply and Jared looks up from his phone to look at Dylan, who's looking down at his phone with furrowed brows. His phone buzzes and reluctantly he looks down at it.
Dylan: Okay, Jared you ask her since you've been with her longer.
Jared sighs in relief and sags in his seat, feeling as if a weight as been lifted. Thank god, He thinks.
A bunch of giggles pull him from his phone and he looks up to see Rosaline giggling with a hand over his mouth. Jared raises a brow.
"What's so funny," Jared asks and Rosaline giggles some more.
"Every time you look down at your phone you make funny faces." She giggles some more.
All three of the men smile, which causes Jared to smile some more, though it disappears when he remembers what he has to do.
"Um... Rosaline."
She turns her head towards him.
"Do you mind staying with Dylan for 2 days," Jared asks.
He watches as Rosaline frowns.
"He won't hurt you and if you feel uncomfortable for any reason I will come and get you and you won't have to the anything like that again." Jared quickly adds and he can feel Dylan's glare burning holes in his skulls, but he didn't care if what he said made Dylan angry.
He wasn't going to force Rosaline to anything with Dylan. He knew firsthand what being with Dylan could be like. He also knew what it was like when they first met...and it wasn't the greatest first impression. Jared looks into Rosaline's eyes and hope she can see the genuine feeling in his eyes
She must have, because after she bites her lip and crinkles her nose and says, "Yeah, okay."
A smile slowly spreads across Dylan's face and he can see the evil glint in his eyes. Jared holds back a sigh. This is going to be a long week.
