Why does it have to be so hard? Roman Godfrey X Reader

Chapter 23

You and Roman are laying on his bed, just cuddling. Your head is on his chest and you are wrapped in each others arms. You both have tops on, yours is black and Roman's is white. Roman has jeans and you have just loose sweatpants.

You still feel a little bad and your eyes are closed. But next to Roman is safety and it makes you feel better.

"Are you feeling any better?", Roman asks.

"Mmm", you mumble and keep your eyes closed.

Roman wipes your cheek and kisses your forehead.

"Should we go to eat something?", he whispers his chin on your head.

"Sure", you say and sit up.

You yawn and stretch your arms.

"Come on", Roman says and pulls you up.

You hit on him and you face is pressed on his chest.

You just decice to hug him. He sighs, but wraps his arms around your waist.

You two hug a while, but then Roman pulls back.

"No", you say and make sad face to him.

He just smirks and raises you up, he puts you over his shoulder.

You scream and he laughs.

"Now let's go to eat", Roman says.

¬¬¬
When you are at the beginning of the stairs Roman puts you down.

"I'm sure you can walk, with you own fucking legs" , he says and smirks.

"It was you who decice to carry me", you say and smile at him, then you walk down the stairs.

"Fuck, you are annoying", Roman sighs.

"Why are you with me then?", you ask and nurrow an eybrow, turning to him.

"I'm fucking thinking that all the time", he says and smirks.

You sigh and keep walking down the stairs.

You stop when you see Olivia and Roman's uncle Norman Godfrey at the front door.

Olivia is sitting on chair and looking exhausted.

"Hey", Roman says and walks past you.

"Hey. Um, your mother fainted at the library", Norman says.

"Are you all right? Why didn't you call me?", Roman asks worried.

You just don't understand, how Roman can still love his mother. She is a terrible person.

"But, well. She is his mother after all", you think.

Olivia gets up and start walking towards the stairs.

"I'm...very tired. Uh, be a dear and run your uncle back wherever, would you? ", she asks.

Olivia slowly walks past you and Roman and goes to upstairs.

Roman turns to you.

"Wanna come with us?", he asks.

"I don't think so. I will just stay here and eat something", you say and shrug.

Roman nods and kisses your cheek.

"Remember to come get me after you have taken him home", you whisper on his ear.

Roman nods and smirks.

"Come on, uncle", he says and goes out.

¬¬¬
You sit on the kitchen eating, when you hear voice coming upstairs.

Like something is flying against the wall over and over again.

You decice to go upstairs.

The sound comes from Shelley's room, you walk over the door and knock to it.

Nobody opens the door so you just open it.

A book hits on your face.

"Ouch", you say and notice Shelley standing front of you, headphones on and tears over her face.

"Shelley. Is everything okay?", you ask.

She takes her headphones off and asks:

"What?"

"Is everything okay?", you repeat.

"No. Everyone are scared of me and you probably hate me too", she says.

"What? Who hates you? I would never hate you, you are sweet and intelligent girl", you say.

"Children at the library, they ran away, when I walked next to them", Shelley says and stares at the floor.

You go to hug her.

"Shelley. They probably just took fright. They don't know you and they don't know, how kind you really are", you whisper to her ear.

You back away from the hug and touch her cheek. It turns blue, like always when Roman touches her cheek.

"I hurted you, you have cut on your face", Shelley says.

"It's fine, you didn't mean it. But lets clean this mess", you say and look on the ground.

Shelley has throw many things on the floor and you start pick them up.

Then you hear Roman yelling your name upstairs.

"Shelley, I need to go know. But remember, you are really important to me", you say and smile.

Shelley smiles at you.

¬¬¬
When you walk downstairs, Roman is leaning on the front door.

"Hey", you say and smile.

"Hey. Where did you got that?", Roman asks and touches area upon your brow, which the book hit you.

"Um, I just fell on the kitchen and hit my head on the table", you say.

"Really? We need to clean that cut", Roman says.

"No, we don't. We better get going now", you say and walk past him.

He grabs your hand.

"No. I will fucking clean that. Even if you don't want to", he says and stares you straight into your eyes.

"Roman. Don't use that thing to me", you say and look away.

Roman realises what he is doing and for who, and he stops.

"Thank you", you say quietly.

Roman is now scaring you a little, you haven't know that he would try to use that thing to you.

"Come on then", he says and drags you on the kitchen.

You sigh and follow him.
