A/N I know I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever but here's an update, I'll hopefully get back into writing this story. I just edited the past chapters so they actually make sense now and I fixed spelling errors.
Roses POV
I woke up on my couch alone and cold, Roman left, for some reason that thought bothered me. I understand that I barely know the guy but I had already become so fond of him. I had started the movie only 2 hours ago-Roman should be back shortly, so I decided on making some lunch. After making salad with a side of garlic bread I got to cleaning. As I was working on washing the windows, I looked out to see a black Ford gt pull up-my step dad was a car guy. Shortly after the car pulled up, Roman stepped out in a suit, he looked very handsome. Rushing to out the cleaning supplies away, I ran towards the door just as he opened it and tackled him into a hug with my arms around his neck and my arms around his waist, Roman chuckled at this "miss me baby? Hmm?" I replied with a short "yes" that was muffled by his neck that smelled like old spice. Roman kicked off his shoes and made his way towards the kitchen-still holding me- he set me down on one of the stools in front of the counter. "m'hungry darling, got any food?" he asked. Blushing I answered "I made some extra of my lunch for-salad and garlic bread- it's in the fridge" "thank you darling".
I examined him while he ate , the way his strong jaw chewed, the way he was hunched over the counter with his sleeves rolled up and muscles straining against his white-collared shirt and of course the little bit of dressing that sat in the corner of his lips. This man was perfection. "you're staring baby" his voice snapped me out of my thoughts "not staring, admiring. There is a difference" I replied with a soft tone " and just what are you admiring?" he asked quizzically. "You" I reached across the counter to hold his face in my hands, running my thumbs across his cheekbones- grazing over the small scar on his right cheekbone. Then running my thumbs across his eyebrows as his eyes fluttered shut to show off his long lashes. "You're perfection" I whispered. It was silent for a moment until he leaned over to connect his lips to my forehead "perfection, is what you are my darling girl" he mumbled against my forehead.
Later that night we sat on the floor, surrounded by blankets and pillows playing chess. I had always won chess games, no matter who I played against, usually it was Dani from the diner whenever I was lonely, he was like a grandfather to me. However on this night I found myself having troubles winning against Roman. Towards the end of the game , I took out his bishop leaving is king unguarded "check" I said with a smirk on my face, he knocked his king over defeated. "The Queen is always the Kings weakness, and its greatest strength" Roman said, looking straight into my eyes.

Once again I am incredibly sorry for how long it has taken for me to update. I went and edited all of the previous chapters and then wrote this one. You should also be able to suspect and update/ new chapter every week or so.
