Set Fire To The Reigns

Chapter 7

I shook my head "No...... I'm giving Roman another chance"-(gco)

"How many chances are you going to give him"

"I can't believe you're saying any of this. Roman's your best friend"

"Best friends wouldn't purposely take what you want. Roman knew I liked you the first time I saw you and he took you before I did"

"You were in a relationship!"

Seth sighed. He looked like he was about to cry "Serena,...... I love you.."

My eyes widened "I have to go"

"Please don't leave me"

"I have a child to get to"

"Please think about it and don't tell Roman about this"

"Whatever......"

I went back into my room. Roman, Jessica, Daryl, and Nikki were on the couch talking. How can they just get along so peachy? They act like nothing ever happened! I ignored them and went straight into my bedroom. The clock said 5:55pm. My head hurts. I'm pretty sure because I was thinking about too many things at once. I looked outside at the Eiffel Tower. Paris is so beautiful. I can't believe I'm here. Someone knocked on my door

"Yea" I called through the door

"Can I come in" Roman asked

"Now's not a good time"

"Please......"

I slowly opened the door. Roman came in

"What" I asked, closing the door back
"Why were you crying"

"I wasn't"

Roman wiped my cheek and I saw a bead of water "Why"

"I didn't mean to..... I'm trying to adjust to this and......I don't like it. I don't like them. You're not being the man you said you would be. I'm still not happy...... You don't pay attention to me. I'm scared..... I'm scared of what's going to happen to me and I'm scared of losing you and I can tell that I'm already losing you. If it comes down to it, and I know it will, I'm gonna have to file for divorce again...... I don't want to though..... I love you.."

"Look at me, babe. You're not going to lose me. I'm not going to let that happen"

"OK..... I'm sorry I'm crying....." I wiped my eyes

"I understand, babe" Roman hugged me

"I just want to be alone with you and Rona tonight....."

Roman raised an eyebrow

"You know what I meant...... Nevermind....." I stepped back from Roman

"You know that's"-(gco)

"I said nevermind. I'm going to sleep"

"Don't be mad"

"I'm not. I'm tired"

"No lies"

"You can stop using my own words against me! I meant that for you"

"Are you saying that you don't have to follow that"

"I'm saying IM not the one who needs to"

"I didn't realize you were an angel"

"Oh fuck you!!"

Roman gritted his teeth. For a second, it horrified me. Is he going to punish me? His face relaxed

"Don't look at me like that, babe. I'm not going to hurt you"

I mentally sighed out of relief "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to yell at you....."
