Roman kissed my shoulder as he zipped up my dress, "That was fun," He slowly spun me around, wrapping my arms around his neck, bringing him in for a kiss.

"I'm glad you liked it" I kissed him. My fingers thread through the strands of his brown hair as my lips part, tongue tangling with his. Incorporating one's taste, I moan against our touched lips.

"Mmm...Princess" Roman mumbles against our lips, vibrating throughout my whole body, "We...gotta...go" He pulled away, "Nooo," I whined, not wanting to leave, just the thought of going back out there already drained the life out of my body.

"I promise, we will meet one more person, maybe two but that's it, then...we can leave" Pecking me once more at the lips, he takes my hand in his, kissing my palm before making our way out the bathroom.

We both look around the room, hoping no one found anything suspicious between us or heard us. "Okay the coast is clear let's start moving," I giggled at Roman's hushed tone while we made our way through the crowd of people.

We were about five feet away from the balcony doors when we get stopped by a middle-aged woman, the navy blue dress she was wearing flowed right behind her, her hair was pinned back into a neat bun but had a few grey hairs sticking out.

Her face looked like it was drowning in the heavy makeup she had on. Bright red lipstick, navy eyeshadow, bit too much for the old lady, I thought.

"Roman! How lovely to finally see you, I've been looking all over for you!" She goes in to hug Roman but before she could Roman stops her, "Matilda how lovely to meet you, this is Hazel Johnson" Matilda's eyes went wide, her body stiffened.

"Johnson, the Johnson" She gasped. I look to Roman, eyebrows furrowed but all he had was a gleaming smile, "Oh Ms Johnson, what a pleasure to meet you" She immediately wraps her arms around me, hugging me tightly.

"Oh! Hello Ms...?" I wrap my arms around her too. Our hug lasted about all of ten seconds, I'm not so much of a hugger when it comes to strangers so I give her a few taps on the back indicating her to release.

"Please, call me Matilda" She pulls away and I could see the excitement in her eyes, but why? "I'm sorry, do I know you?" I took a step back, Roman twined our fingers together.

"Oh no, no. I am just a huge fan of your work and the strong woman you've become. You're father and I were quite close you know" Even with all the makeup on her face I could see a bright colour of red cover her cheeks.

"Wow, I'm glad to hear that" I nod and smiled, "Well...Matilda, it was lovely meeting you, if you would like I could take some free time out of my day tomorrow and we could chat?"

"That would be incredible" She hugged me again and we went our separate ways, "Are you seriously gonna clear your schedule for her tomorrow?" Roman placed his hand on the small of my back.

"No." I scoffed and he laughed.

We made our way outside when we see the boys talking to some man, "That is my exact plan, Mr Hernandez-"

"Hey, guys sorry I'm late, went to go find Hazel" He looked at me, and smiled. "No worries Mr Smith, you didn't miss out on much, I was just telling Hernandez over here about our next deal" He slapped a hand behind Roman's back, bringing him forward to the group.

I trailed behind him, while Roman tugged at my hand, "That's nice Mr Beckett but before we get down to business I'd like to introduce you to Ms Hazel Johnson" Mr Beckett steps forward giving me a better view of his face.
