Bubblegum Bitch ✶ Roman Roy

[011] the other woman

[011] the other woman

                                  Alice had shown up to the bar first, ordering drinks for them both. She knew Roman's usual drink since they came to this bar often. It was to the point where the patrons assumed that they were a couple. Roman never bothered to correct people and Alice had given up after the fourth time.

                                  She twirled around her straw as she waited for Roman, ignoring the occasional looks thrown her way. Usually, Alice would be more than willing to flirt with them just for the sake of entertainment. But she had better things to focus on: such as trying to get Roman back. Alice had fucked up enough and she needed to find a way to fix things before it got worse. It was Alice's fault that things had gotten this way and it was only her that could fix it.

                                 "This better be the best fucking apology I've heard in my life or I'm walking back out," Roman says from behind Alice, causing her to turn around in her seat. She almost smiles, until she remembers the situation. Roman, for once, looked more tired than anything else and Alice just feels even more like shit.

                                 Roman was already going through a lot right now between dealing with his older brother getting fired after his latest attempt at kicking Logan out the company backfired horribly. He also had to deal with the sting of getting dumped by his longtime girlfriend. And on top of that, he had to deal with the fact that the breakup didn't hurt nearly as bad as he thought it would. Having Alice disappear from his life hurt a lot more. He didn't realize just how much she'd miss her until she was gone.
