Finding Roman.

Part 6- i put the fun in funerals.

The sun began raising from the sky as Roman sat on the balcony, a lit cigarette pressed against his lips. He had snorted a line of cocaine moments ago as he watched the colors in the sky dance around. This was his normal ever sense he began to change. He had wondered if he should tell Maddy or peter, 'they wouldn't understand. They transform and all I do is crave blood.' He offends found himself thinking that. But I think Roman new deep down they already new the monster within. Madeline stirred in the bed behind him, he stealing glances at his half naked beauty in his bed. Another thought that continued through his mind 'how the fuck did I get so lucky?' His lips twitched up into a smirk as his head drifted towards darker thoughts. He rose to his feet and slipped under the covers reaching over Madeline. He traced his fingers along her panties, she buckled her hips and began moaning lightly in her sleep. Roman was watching her with amusement as she tried to get his hands closer. Madeline's eyes fluttered open as she reached her arms up and pulled him down to her lips. She kept grabbing at his pants to take them off but he wanted to torture her a little more. He finally gave into temptation and yanked his pants off, she was already wet by the time he began to insert himself into her.

This was a feeling Madeline wouldn't get tired of. Absolute pleasure, this is exactly what Roman could give her. She leaned her head on his chest sucking in the cold that radiates from him. They laid there in silent looking into each other's eyes. That's when a knock inturupted them, "I'm coming in." Peters voice broke the door as he walked in with his hands covering his eyes. "Get dressed and come on, Maddy you get to meet a cousin!" Roman and Madeline exchanges confuses looks as peter backed out of the room and closed the door. Roman grabbed his neck and chuckled. "Good morning." He looked up at Madeline and smiled, "I love you." Madeline's words flew out of her mouth, she couldn't believe how easily it slid out. Roman looked at her who seemed to be taken aback. Madeline quickly got up and threw her night clothes on and ran out of the room. As she made it back to her room she closed and locked the door, sliding down the door and hitting the floor she placed her head in her hands 'gah, how can I be so stupid? We don't even know each other.' She couldn't believe she had said that, she could barely believe she had lost her virginity even to him. But he is such a gentleman towards her. A soft knock echoed through the room, "Maddy.." it was Roman, he stood just outside with the same thought running through his mind, "I love you to." With that she heard him descend the hallway. She jumped off her feet and sling the door open running after Roman, he turned his head and smiled as she flew into his chest. They stood their embracing each other, "I love you." Madeline said looking into his emerald cut eyes. "I love you to Madeline." They leaned in and pressed their lips together. She stood there thoughts running wild. The only thing she was certain of was her love directed to Roman. "We should get goin, we're gonna meet your cousin." Roman grabbed Maddy hand and lead her down the stairs. That's when they had ran into romans mother closing the door, she looked annoyed. "Just the people I wanted to see. I see you've cozied up to each other. Madeline dear, I did warn you." Olivia clapped her hands together "that was an officer, looking to talk to you about these hanious murders. Do you know anything?" Roman looked to Madeline then back to his mom. "No mother." They walked passed her and out the door, they hopped into romans car and tore off down the road. As they reached the center of town Roman pulled off the road and parked in front of a building that had a sign out front reading psychic. Madeline chuckled to herself. Roman opened the passenger side door and grabbed Maddy a hand leading her to the door, before they could even knock there was a woman who already slung the door open eyeballing me. Peter came out from behind her smiling at us. "Maddy, this is destiny. Destiny this is madeline." Destiny grabbed Maddy and pulled her into a hug, "it's great to meet you! It's so nice meeting new family!" Destiny grabbed her hand and pulled her inside with Roman following behind. Madeline looked around destiny's place, it had a mystical sense to it and she could sense it. Crystals sat on tabletops, sighs around the room, it a way it brought he to comfort. "I heard about your mom, I'm terribly sorry. When's the funeral?" Destiny asked bringing Maddy into a hug. "3 days. Thank you very much, these goof balls have really been sticking by my side." Maddy leaned into Roman as destiny gave her a confused look, "been cozy with the godfreys I see." She wiggles her eye brows and chuckled re treating into the kitchen. She returned with beers as they all sat around talking amongst each other, Destiny and Maddy sat in conversation learning more about each other. For the first time she hadn't thought of her mom.

~~3 days later

Maddy never new her family, the only one she had was her mom so she was very surprised to see the funeral home was packed. Strangers were eyeing her as she made her way to her mother. She saw her lifeless body in the casket and held her tears back, "I'm sorry." A voice broke her thoughts and a strange hand was pressed against her back. "Who are you?" It was an older man, "I'm your grandfather." Maddy smiled and embraced her grandfather she had never met. "You look so much like your mom. May I ask what happened?" Maddy frowned and looked down, "she had cancer and treatments weren't working." Her grandfather stood there with a disappointed look on his face. "I knew she shouldn't have ran off, we would have taken care of her." Roman joined Maddys side grabbing her hand, maddys grandfathers face grew dark as he sniffed the air, "get away from him." Maddy was taken back by his words as she looked around seeing everyone's eyes on her and Roman, "excuse me?" Her grandfather grabbed her and pulled her behind him. "I said get away." Romans eyed darkened and chuckled, "dude I don't know who you are but that's MY girl." Maddy smiled at his possesioness over her and stepped away from her grandpa, "what he said." She grabbed romans hand and smiled up at him. "He's a monster." Maddy chuckled "so am I?" Her grandfathers eyes widened by her statement. "Now if you don't mind we're here celebrating the life of a great woman."

"She was a great woman, my mom. She's tell me stories every night before bed. Her personality could light up a room, and her smile was infectionous. My mother was a good person. And she lives on through every memory, good or bad. Thank you for coming and celebrating the life of her." Madeline nodded at the crowd of 60. It was extended family she had never seen. She locked eyes with Roman and made her way towards him as the crowd began standing up and seperating. They had arranged the funeral due to traditions. So now it was time for the 'fun' part as every one refered too. Roman grabbed her hand as they made their way out. Her grandfather appeared in front of her, "I want to I drove you to Kevin. He's who you would have wound up with if her mother had stayed." This tall man stood next to him eyeing Roman, if looks could kill. "It's nice to meet you, and we're not in 1960. I'm not a piece of property." Madeline rolled her eyes as she made her way towards the exit.

"What was that about?" Peter flicked his cig on the ground and looked between roman and Maddy. Leetha walked up and smiled at peter and then Roman and Maddy. "Oh yeno, family. Apparently i was auctioned off before even being born!" Peter chuckled and threw his arm around Maddy, "welcome to the family."
