'Again.'
'Again.'
Rio continues to hit me with his boxing gloves and I carefully doge each one.
"Fix your posture Aspen." He says hitting my leg.
"Ouch! Why would you do that?" I say clutching my leg in pain.
"You aren't focused. Why?" He says taking off his gloves.
"It's nothing." I say trying to avoid his gaze.
"What's distracting you?"
"Nothing."
"Who then?"
I turn to look at him and shake my head. "It's nothing, I'm just off my game."
"If you say so." He says as he helps me come down from the boxing ring.
"I'm gonna take a shower, help Drew with breakfast." I say.
He nods and pats my head, I give him a small smile on return. And he leaves to the kitchen.
I enter my room and head to the shower. I remove my clothes and notice a purple bruise on my cleavage.
"Roman." I say softly as my hands trace the hickey.
I remember that night again, after tryin so hard to forget.
'That Bastard and his stupid soft lips.'
I enter the bathroom and the cold water touches my skin. I let out a sigh.

  
As I walk down the stairs, I hear loud voices.
"Why are you putting blueberries?" Rio yells.
Jennie ignores him as she puts more blueberries in the pancake batter.
"I hope you choke on that." He say nudging her.
Jennie let's put a dramatic gasp and hits his shoulder. "How could you wish that on me?! I'm too perfect to die!" She says rolling her eyes.
"Do you guys want to be kicked out of the kitchen, just give me the batter and I'll make another batter for you Rio." Drew says finally calming the two down.
Jennie sticks out her tongue at him and he rolls his eyes.
"You want something Aspen?" Drew asks giving me a piece of bacon.
"Nope, Just bacon and Croissants."
I absolutely love croissants.
"Their in the pantry." Drew says pointing to a white door. I run to the door to get some beautiful flaky croissants.
I finally got my hands on them and head to the kitchen counter.
'DING'
Rio looks at me. "We expecting anyone?"
"No, are you guys?" I ask.
"Nope." They both reply.
Rio opens one of the kitchen drawers and brings out two guns and throws one at me.
'DING'
We walk closer to the door and I hear whispered bickering.
"Stop being a bitch and don't ring the bell." I hear a hushed voice say.
"You don't control me." Another voice says.
Rio opens the door and I point my gun at three surprised and familiar faces.
Roman. Andrea and Dominic.
"What a warm welcome." Dominic says with an awkward smile on his face.
"Sorry." I say softly.
Rio pops out from behind the door. "What are you guys doing here?"
"We-" Roman says before he was interrupted by his sister. "We are trying to get to know our team better, can we come in?" She questions.
"Yeah sure." I say motioning for them to come in.
Andrea and Dominic head to the kitchen, while Roman lingers around me.
I notice the bouquet of flowers that he seems to be clutching for dear life.
Nervously.
"Are you going to stand there all day and linger around my sister?" I hear Rio ask.
I shoot him a warning glare and he shrugs.
Roman nods and heads to the kitchen.
I elbow Rio. "Why the fuck are you being so rude?"
"I'm not, he was lingering." He say.
"You are so overprotective, there's nothing to worry about."
He look at me again and nods.

Jennie and Andrea were constantly exchanging looks. Everyone seems to notice their glances.
"Is there something wrong with your eyes?" Roman asks.
"No, shut up and die." Andrea says, putting a bacon in her mouth.
Jennie watched her as she eats her bacon.
'What the fuck?'
Roman pokes me and motions to a hallway.
"I have to head to the bathroom."
I wait for a few minutes and follow him. A strong arm pulls me into a small closet.
"You didn't take my flowers." He says.
"They were ugly, and I didn't know they were mine." I say trying to ignore, how close he was to me.
"Who else am I trying to have a relationship with in this house?"
I ignore him and try to leave.
"You owe me a date. Be ready by 8." He whispers.
"No where fancy, and no sex." I say to him and he smirks.
"Whatever you say." He says, opening the door to leave.
"My flowers weren't ugly, you reminded me of someone who liked red flowers." He said.
I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
'Guess I have to prepare for a date.'
