Angie and Zayra we're huddled together talking. They looked deep in discussion. The whole day since Roman woke up tangled in Zayra's arms she kept a distance from him.

During meals she continued to sit between Xio and Daniella away from him.

There was some progress. Now they could at least be in the same circle of conversation.

He knew Zayra told her about what happened between the two of them this morning. He wanted to talk to her. See where did they stand.

He wanted her back but she was resisting.

Damn he tried.

He swallowed feeling his body pulsing with desire. He wiped his mouth with his hand remembering what they recently shared.

He wanted more.

It wasn't enough for him.

But she wouldn't give him anymore. 

He had to win her back somehow.

He was waiting for an opening. He Walked to Diego and Rudy, he was trying to see if Diego could get Angie away from Zayra.

"Zayra, Victor. Do you guys mind playing something for us?" Dona Lourdes asked.

"Of course. What would you like to hear?"

"Anything."

He watched them both get an instrument. He knew he wouldn't have a chance to talk to her now that she was entertaining.

She moved her fingers and started.

She tried not to look at Roman for this. He moved to the side and sat next to Daniella and Martha. He knew she was avoiding his gaze. It's okay, the night was early and he had plenty of time to talk to her. From what he gathered she was staying until the first week of January. He had plenty of time to try to woo her back.

Zayra was enjoying herself. She watched Roman circle around the room. She faked a confidence she didn't feel with him. Truth was she was scared of Roman and embarrassed of her actions.

She had been officially sober for 3 days and it was very difficult. She was never really alone. She noticed Mimi would be in her room cleaning or doing things, then it would be Marina and Dona Lourdes, Martha, the girls...

She was also going through withdrawals so...

Her temper was shorter.

She sweated for no reason.

She fidgeted a bit more.

It fucking sucked!

Singing and playing music helped her forget the urge.

So did Roman

Damn him.

Damn his touch and his mouth and his Oh so...

"Zayra!"

"What?" she looked at Xio blushing.

"Can you play Christina Perry A thousand years?"

"Okay." she smiled and began singing it. She saw a few more people gathering around her. She watched Victor catching up with her quickly.

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
