Set Fire To The Reigns

Chapter 13

"What's that"

"You spend one night with me....."

"Oh....."

"Well, you don't have to, but I'd really like that......"

"For doing this for me, I agree"

Seth slowly leaned in. I leaned in too and our lips met. Our tongues danced and our lips melted together. I......felt something. I'm not exactly sure of what it is yet, but I'm not going to put much thought into it, considering I'm trying to get Roman. Seth and I slowly stepped back. I saw Roman looking at us. Once I looked at Roman, he quickly looked away and looked down. Seth and I continued walking

I went into my bedroom. Roman was there, sitting on my bed

"What are you doing here? Everyone else is gone" I carelessly asked

"I just wanted to talk to you"

"About"

"Come on. Don't act like you don't know"

"Why don't you enlighten me"

"You want me and you're obviously trying to make me jealous by being with Seth"

"I don't know what you're talking about. Besides, why would you care? You have a loving wife that you've been faithful to for nine years"

"Forgive me"

"Forgive you for.......completely giving up on me?! Moving on in less than a year?! Not telling Rona about me?! Oh, maybe we need to go way further back for things I never forgave you for. Like cheating! Lying! Getting other women pregnant! Keeping secrets! Hurting me!......."

"I'm sorry"

"Please get out of my house"

"Say you forgive"

"No because I don't. Get out"

"Do you hate me?...."

"I'm bothered by you and sick of you"

"Bothered?....."

"Yes, bothered! I'm bothered by the fact that you won't leave me alone! I'm bothered by the fact that you've been married to Nikki for nine years and didn't cheat on her, but you cheated on me and we weren't even together for a total of two years! I'm bothered by the fact that I still love you!"

"I love you too"

"I'm bothered by-........ Wait. What"

"It's obvious that I still love you"

I cleared my throat "You said that at the hospital before. I still don't believe you"

"What can I do to prove it.....that wouldn't jeopardize my family"

I put my hand on Roman's cheek. I leaned in for a kiss and Roman stepped back. Honestly, that hurt

I looked down "I'm sorry...... I'm sorry. Please leave"

"I didn't mean to offend"-(gco)

"I don't care" I whispered as my voice cracked. "Just get out of my house"

Roman sighed and left. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and took deep breaths. Don't cry!...... I sighed and called Seth

"You're really quiet" Seth said

Seth and I are having dinner in his hotel room. I'm wearing a long dress while Seth is wearing a suit. Candles were lit, rose petals everywhere, and soft jazz. This is beautiful, but I can't even take this in because I'm thinking about Roman
