A Little Too Late

Chapter. 2

"Babe lay on your stomach okay so I can put the ointment on your back." Said Harlee.

"As you wish momma. I'm so happy you're here. I missed you too." Said Roman as he laid down on the hotel bed.

Harlee took the cap off the ointment and squeezed a good amount on her fingers. She carefully scooted next to Roman and spread the ointment on his back. Roman couldn't help but hiss as Harlee spread the ointment on his back, it hurt like hell. Hearing Roman hiss like that pulled at her heart strings.

"Babe I'm sorry I'll stop if you want me to." Said Harlee.

"It's okay momma don't stop it's actually starting to feel better." Said Roman.

"Okay." Said Harlee as she continued to rub the ointment on Roman's back.

The room fell into an uncomfortable silence. Neither Harlee or Roman saying a word. Truth be told Harlee felt bad but angry, she couldn't understand why Seth turned on Roman and Dean like that. She wanted to slap Seth and rip him a new one. It wasn't right. What irked her more was the fact that her ex was capable of bashing Roman like that. It was as if he was on some sort of mission and quite honestly that scared her more than she cared to admit.

"Momma are you okay?" Asked Roman.

"Yeah babe I'm fine. I promise." Said Harlee as she looked away.

She hated to lie to Roman but she didn't want to worry him. Roman grabbed her chin and turned her to look at him.

"No you're not momma I can see that you're conflicted. What's wrong?" Asked Roman as he looked at her in the eyes.

"You know me so well Ro." I just I don't understand why Seth turned on you and Dean like that. What the hell Ro why , I mean you guys were brothers fighting a comment enemy a cause and he goes off and does this. Then there's he who shall not be mentioned , what he did to you after with the steel chair he was like a monster Ro he tore your back , you were already down Ro what the hell was he trying to prove. I'm not going to lie Ro I'm scared as hell what if the next time you're not so lucky." Said Harlee as she wiped her tears away.

"Momma listen to me , I'm okay , yes my back is tore up and I'm beat up but I'm fine. I assure you there won't be a next time cause I won't let him alright and as for Seth I don't know why he turned on us but I guarandamntee you this Dean and I are going to get answers even if we have to beat him senseless. Turning your back on family is the ultimate betrayal and it's not easily forgiven." Said Roman.

Hearing Roman talk like that made her feel uneasy but she understood where he was coming from. She just didn't want him to get hurt , she loved him so damn much.

"Ro please be careful , if something happened to you I would never forgive myself. I love you so damn much." Said Harlee as she kissed him.

"Har I promise I'll be careful okay." Said Roman as he kissed her back.

"Babe I'm going to go change for bed I'll be back in a bit." Said Harlee as she slipped into the bathroom.

Roman just laid there waiting for Harlee. He was pissed to say the least , Seth and his partner in crime were going to pay that's for damn sure.

A few minutes later Harlee stepped out of the bathroom and saw that Roman was sitting up on his back on the bed. She smiled as she walked over to the side of the bed where Roman was and just stood there.

"Babe you shouldn't be sitting up on your back like that you'll make it worse." Said Harlee.

Roman got up and looked Harlee up and down as he licked his lips.
