Bloodline Divine 2-The Rise to Fall

Chapter 54

Take A Number

I sat down on the edge of the bed with a sigh, it felt like it'd been three days rolled into one. I started unlacing my boots and felt the relief from my feet when I pulled them off. I set them aside peeled off my stocks and started unwrapping the tape from around my foot and ankle. Roman walked in just as I got the last of it off, as it was now going on midnight.

"You, okay?" he asked as I hadn't said anything to him when I came back from Richard's room.

"Yeah, I am, I'm just tired it's been a long day," I said getting up and going to my bag for my package of makeup wipes then returned to siting on the bed.

"I like the outfit Bray designed, it fits you nice, and this I'm Red thing I think it's a good direction to go in. The next elevation of you, though I know it's a lot of pressure you can relieve some of that stress to me."

"I'll try to but we both know this road we are about to go down it's going to be a long intense one. Our roads are going to divert us in different directions but they are also going to be intwine together," I said and he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close to his chest.

"That they are Wildfire, that they are," he said.

It was approaching one am when I finally laid down in bed next to Roman. He was quick to put an arm around my waist and pull my body next to his. His warmth and strength made me relax and in no time, I was falling fast asleep and despite the fight with Jimmy I was happy with the how the day went. I checked off everything and then some off my list of what I wanted to accomplish tonight and I for tomorrow I planned to accomplish more.

I woke up the next morning to Sergeant on the bed and licking my face. I reached my hand up and pushed him back but he came right back over.

"Sergeant," I said whining and turning over stretching my body out. A little sore but it felt fine. Sergeant wasn't done he just came around to the other side and started licking my face. "Alright, alright," I said sitting up.

"Good boy," Roman said sitting in the chair at the desk leaning back watching us with his mischief smirk.

"You could have just woke me up," I said rubbing Sergeant's back as he stretched and buried his head in my lap.

"Yeah, but this is more fun," he said and I ran my hand through my hair.

"What time is it?"

"8am the family is here; we are having breakfast and everyone wants to know if the Women's Royal Rumble winner is going to be joining us?" he asked. I smiled then yawn running my hand down my face.

"Yeah, I'm starving, I'll be out in a few minutes," I said and he got up and came over to the bed leaning over it and kissing the top of my head.

"Alright, I'll see you out there," he told me.

"Did Sergeant go out?" I asked.

"Yes, he's been outside and he's already been fed."

"Thank you," I said and he winked at me before leaving the room. I got up put on some leggings and a Bloodline t-shirt which was a size to big so I tied the corner of it. I ran my hairbrush through my hair and quickly put it up in a braid. I did some light makeup and then left the room not ten minutes after Roman. I walked into the living room with Sergeant and when everyone saw me, they started applauding. I stopped in surprise as I looked at all of them.

"Alright, alright that's enough," I said feeling embarrassed then laughed when Zilla and Jacob howled. Then I turned to a cautiously approaching Jimmy. My guard went up until he held out a cup to me.
