"Now I understand why you've been named Apple," he commented.

"The doctor said not to take any stress," she mumbled.
"I am pretty sure we can just talk," Rome said. He folded the sleeve of his shirt up to his elbows. Rome unbuckled his belt and wrapped it around his hand, Apple's eyes shot to his. Was he going to...?
"I am not doing anything of that sort," he said and placed the belt on the nightstand, and climbed the bed.
Apple looked at him apprehensively.
"Why did you lie to me, Apple?"
She looked down at their hands intertwined with each other and then looked back at him.
"I am s-scared," she stammered.
His brows furrowed and he cupped her cheek.
"Why?" he asked.
"I am s-scared of you," she whispered, "you get angry so fast. And you... it is a-always about having s-sex."
Rome looked at her with unreadable eyes.
"I hold physical intimacy v-very close to my heart, you are my first and h-hence special. But I j-just don't want you to be a milestone. I really l-like you a lot Rome," she said. Her cheeks bloomed with colour, and she buried her face in his chest. She had been so open about her feelings.
"I just want to k-know if it is just physical between us because I cannot p-pursue that," she added.
Apple had realised in this very moment that it was imperative she be open about her intentions with him. Romulus was a very gruff, stoic and stern man and so she didn't expect a lot of affection from him, but she did want him to be involved.
"What things do you ask for in a relationship?" he asked.
"I just don't want it to be about making love. I want t-there to be dates and just h-hand holding and g-getting to know each other," she mumbled shyly.
"We will have a date tomorrow," he whispered in her ear, "I do not take women on dates or dinners. I have always had a very physical approach to a relationship, but for your sake, we will try."
She looked up at him and smiled.
"I hope i-it works out," she said.
He nodded.
Next day she twirled in a beautiful dress, this morning she had sneaked off to her dorm and picked a dress and a pair of gorgeous heels for herself. It was a satin emerald green dress stopping at her mid-thigh with a criss-cross back. She wore her gold pumps. It was a very risqué dress, very hot and tempting but she really wanted to make an effort with her clothing. Sophie had found this dress for her in a store.
