The cab stops in a parking lot, After yesterday all i needed to do is escape the house as soon as possible. I may have been drunk with sleep but i wont ever forget what he said yesterday.

I knew this was just a deal, i always knew that.. but i was starting to fall for him and i thought he felt the same for me, i thought maybe for a moment that the kiss he gave me was real.

It was too passionate not to be real, Its a kiss i wont be able to forgot. A blessing and a curse. Damn You, roman Miller

"You can just drop me off right here." I say as i point to a spot near the gate, i see a huge White building with the writing Temple of Grace in White on the outside of it.

I am using my whole weeks check to pay for this cab ticket here and back but its worth it. Roman has already shown me who he is once. I dont need to wait around for him to tell me he hates me twice.

He saw me at my lowest when i was vulnerable and i still wasn't good enough for him. The same story just a different character now.

I pay him the cash and my fingers almost dont want to let go of it, It will be worth it i keep telling my self to keep myself sane.

I step out of the car and see a few people walking in and out of the building, i go up to the Clear door and open it, The building is makes my jaw drop. There's a huge open space at the front for the reception with a wide circle desk and a grey couch in a waiting area with a small table and some bibles around.

The walls are a cream white plastered with photos of Christ and The crosses everywhere. I step up to one of the photos and see the photograph of Pastor Davis and his family all lined up, His wife looking gorgeous beside him as he holds one of his daughters on his side and His son who is tiny in this picture holding another girls hand.

I immediately get jealous at how perfect this family looks. Wishing that my family could be even half of what they are, A deep sigh leaves my lips before I turn back around. I hear some gospel music in the background that must be coming from the church. I've just been here and it already feels like home.

A feeling i haven't felt since Yesterday with Roman.. My Lips frown at the memory of his words

This is a deal, we aren't in love we cannot be in love. We are in this for the money that's all.

What did i agree to? the only good thing about this deal is there's a chance I can still fix it by stepping out of the marriage, we haven't done anything official yet. There's still opportunity.

I finally find the courage to walk up to the reception desk, i see a face that i noticed before, i squint at him trying to see where i know the guy from...Then it clicks, The short fade with the sharp line up, the Wide Black glasses, the low stubble around his chin and above his lip..
