No Ordinary Love

Chapter 36

***NOT EDITED***

Roman accompanied them to the airport. His flight was to leave later in the day. His heart tugging, knowing she'd soon be gone. He wouldn't see her again for a few more weeks. He noticed Zayra was in a bad mood. He figured it was her way of making it easier for her to say good bye. He held her hand on one hand. She didn't bother looking at his eyes much.

He didn't like when she shut down.

"Zayra, come on talk to me." he whispered in her ear.

He led her to a table after they grabbed coffee. She drummed her fingers on the table.

"What do you want me to say?" she said a bit forceful.

"Anything. Why are you upset with me?"

She glared at him. His hand tightened on hers. "Do you think I like leaving you?" He leaned in to look at her. She turned away. He grabbed her chin and scooted closer to her. "Look at me Zayra." she moved her head back and slapped his hand away.

He hissed, rubbed his hands on his face, wiping his frustration away.

"Roman" she sighed. "It's just hard okay, I'll get over it." her emotions rasping her voice.

"I know but I'm here now, please don't be upset." he kissed her cheek.

She breathed in and out, trying to control her anger. He was right, he didn't do anything for her to be upset with him. It was the situation she was angry about. In a few weeks they'd meet up again for a few days and then go their separate ways, again.

Her heart dropped to her stomach. It was torture, to see each other only momentarily and then take long periods of time without seeing him, touching him. She craved his touch. Especially at night when she was alone.

"I'm trying Roman." she felt the bubble of anger trying to escape and she pushed it down to the soles of her feet.

"Soon you'll be out of school and I wont be in the service, then we can be together everyday."

She wanted to believe him. This was only temporary, right? Eventually she'd be married to him anyway. They still hadn't discussed marriage and wondered if she should tell him about the deal or wait till Don Xavier spoke to him.

"I know." she nodded.

He rubbed her arms and felt her head on his chest. He held her tight, tucking her body to him. His body quickly responding. She put her head under his chin and smelled him.

This helped pacify her anger. She put her hand on his chest and felt his heartbeat. She began to drum her fingers on his chest to the beat of his heart. Writing a song on her head.

"Zayra I love you."

"I love you too Roman."

"I already miss you and we haven't even left each other." he said incredulously.

She smiled, her lips traveling to his neck. "I know what you mean."

She saw Josh approaching. She knew it was time for them to board the plane.

"Come I'll walk you to the gate." he stood and grabbed her hand.

He walked her to the very last place he was able to go and kissed her good bye. His heart in his sleeve as he saw her form disappear through the gates.

Nico ran in the studio and found Zayra. He quickly grabbed her and spun her around. She was caught of guard, she was smiling, felt his excitement.
