"Don't hate me....." I mumbled under my breath
"What....."
"Please.......please don't hate me........" I held Serena's hand
"Well, what is it....."
"I've been.....cheating on you..... with Nikki ...."
Serena slowly took her hand back
"You hate me, don't you....." I sighed
"No......" Serena was looking straight ahead
"You're lying. Why won't you look at me then"
"We need to get to the next city"
"Serena, please look at me....." I pleaded
Serena slowly turned towards me. I could see the tears forming in her eyes, despite trying to hold it in
"I'm sorry..... I hate hurting you. ...."
"But you always do it" Serena wiped a tear away
"I"-(gco)
"Can you just drive" Serena asked
Later
Serena's P.O.V
That's what Nikki was trying to tell me before Roman pulled me away. I haven't been with five feet of Roman since we got to the hotel. I was laying in bed with Jordyn beside me
Being around my daughter takes my mind off a lot
Roman slowly walked into the room. He sat on the bed near my feet "Can we talk......"
"I don't think that I have anything to say to you" my voice sounded really dull and careless
"You said you didn't hate me"
"I don't, but we have nothing to talk about"
"There's a big elephant in the room. We have something to talk about"
"Then that big elephant needs to start talking and explain his reasoning"
"I don't have a reasoning. It just happened...."
"Recently, how many times"
"9......."
"Overall"
"10.....with just Nikki"
There were other women?! I'm not even going to ask
"Were we together back then?.."
"Yea......a few months before we got married...."
At least he's telling the truth for once. I appreciate that
"Why are you telling me all of this right now" I stood up and grabbed some tissue for my watering eyes
"I want this marriage to work this time. No secrets or lies"
"But cheating is still "ok", right" I sniffed
"Of course not and I don't know what to say anymore. I've overused 'sorry' and worn it out"
Roman's P.O.V
Serena sighed
"I don't like the fact that you hate me...." I looked down
"I never said that"
"You don't have to. Actions speak louder than words"
Serena softly kissed me. I put my hands on her waist
