That One Night

- ⅩⅫ -

Next morning,I started getting ready."You sure you want to talk with the girls?"I nodded."First,Ruby.That's the way I want it to go for now."

"If you want me there,I'll be there.""I will always want you to be by my side,but this one I have to handle myself.Ruby knows better than to snitch on me."

"Take the guards with you.""I will take them with me.But I am not getting them inside my car!"He smirked."I wouldn't let them in your car either.They'll tail you."

I left the penthouse and went to Ruby's place.Coffee house was too out in the open.I couldn't go there.Even though I am craving cold brew!I miss cold brew!

I knocked on Ruby's door."COMING!"I could hear her struggling her way to her door.She opened the door and saw me."Cordelia?!"She jumped and hugged me.

"We all knew you'd come back.Dick move,Zane,but I knew you'd come back."I nodded."Yeah,back off if you thought that."She broke the hug.

"You're with him?Like really with him?Don't get me wrong,I'm good if you're happy.You are happy,right?"I nodded and smiled."Can I come in?"

We settled and she made me cold brew at home."Thank you!"I started drinking from the straw and she turned to me."So,give me all the tea?!"

"No offense,but I don't trust you like I used to.All I can tell you right now is that I love him and that he loves me.I can tell you that he doesn't drug me or manipulate me into anything."

"Anastasia started speaking and I had to speak up too.If it'll make you feel better,Zane got locked up and beaten for a whole week.He's been in the hospital for a whole week."

"It doesn't make me feel better.It would have if I was the one who beat him but I didn't."I sighed."Ruby,you can't tell anyone I'm here.I'm only here because Damien stopped by last night."

"He did?"I nodded."I was eating my favorite noodle with Roman,the door got knocked and next thing I know,the guard is blabbering about how my brother was here."

"I know I lost your trust but...Does he treat you right?"I smirked."Treat like a princess,fuck like a whore.Just my type of treatment."We both started laughing and I realised I missed her.

I left Ruby's place and came back to the penthouse.I called Roman right away."I'm back and it went better than I thought it would go."

"I'm on my way."He hung up and came to the penthouse in a while."I was thinking I would cook tonight for dinner."He started at me and rolled his eyes.

"You drank coffee didn't you?I told you millions of times,no more than what I give you.Then you try to pull an all nighter.It's pointless and it's not good for you."

"Ruby made me some.So what?"He raised his brows.Bedroom.And you are forced to cook tonight."I went to the bedroom and got in my lingerie.

He sat down at the edge of the bed."Bend over."I bended over his legs and he started spanking me."Count.How many did you drink?""It was a regular size.She made it at home."

He spanked me ass once,twice,three times...

"10."It burned and then I felt his lips on my ass cheek."I don't like doing this to you but you need to be punished if you go against me."I sighed."I'm sorry."

He picked me up as he got up from the bed.He got my chocolate scented body lotion from the bathroom and I just hugged him.

"Keep being good and you'll get rewarded.Be bad and I'll have to do things neither of us will like."I nodded."I'm really sorry.You know I can't resist coffee and she offered me."

"I know.But you should've refused.It's in the past now.You learned your lesson?"I nodded."You have to say it,amore.""I leanred my lesson."

After he put lotion on my ass cheek,he woke me up from the little nap I took on his chest."You're cooking tonight,remember?"I nodded."I'll go get changed."

"No,cook like this.""But the guards wi-"He cut me off."I can send them away."We went to the kitchen and he sent the guards away."What are we eating tonight?"

"Spaghetti BUT I will be making the pesto sauce myself.Deal?""You ate vegetables this lunch and you ate red meat last night...Deal."I unfroze myself.

"I won't remember what I ate when we get in bed!How do you remember what I ate last night?!""I remember so you can be healthy.I made you stop drinking on a daily basis,didn't I?"

"My liver is eternally thankful to you but you're being a little extreme there,Roman.How can you even remember?""I just do because I care about you.What did I ate a week ago?"

"A steak with Café de Paris sauce that I made because I said I did it good.But I also made pancakes the next morning."I was impressed by myself.

"How did you know I even meant that meal?""Because it was exactly a week ago?"I slapped my mouth."How did I do that?!"He shrugged."You care as much as I do about you."

"So spaghetti?"He nodded and I started preparing the meal.He opened music and I started singing without realizing.When I stared serving the spaghetti,I saw him filming me.

"Why are you taking a video of me?I'm always with you.You can see me whenever you want.""Maybe I'm at work and you won't get to cook me half naked."

I put the dirty dishes aside and sat down with him."I'll handle those later.It's hot and it won't be as good when it's cold."

Next morning,Roman took me to talk to Damien.I knew I had to do it but I also didn't want to,so I made Roman force me into it.

"Damien?"He rushed over until I stepped away."Excuse me if I think you're going to try and take me away from him again."

"Are you serious?"I nodded."Damien,why is this so hard for you to believe?!Why is it so hard to make you understand that I actually love Roman?Can I love him?!"

"You can't!Ok?!You can't love him!Or anyone else!"I scoffed."Why?!Why can't I?!Don't you want me to be happy?!I'm your sister,I thought you loved me!Was I wrong?!"

"NO!I do love you,Cordelia!You're a little annoying piece of shit b-"Roman cut him off."I hope you're going somewhere with this,Remington."

He sighed."I am.You are an annoying piece of shit but I love you regardless.You just can't be with him!How could you even do that to me,to begin with?!My rival,Cordelia!"

"It's not my fault I fell in love with him!It's my heart's fault!You think I wanted to?!But heart wants who it wants!And mine wants him!"

"Well,it can't want him because you're engaged."

WHAT?!
