Be my woman

Chapter 24

"It doesn't hurt a lot, does it?" He asked.

"You're here, no" she replied, and he smiled.

The ringing of the doorbell interrupted, and Roman didn't bother to drop her.

Like that, he carried her like a baby. Her head stayed on his shoulder and her legs on his waist as he stood from the chair and left the closet.

He went to the door and opened up, meeting their assigned chef by the door.

He's with a movable table containing their dinner.

"Sorry about the delay sir, we were...

"No I actually like the delay" Roman cut in, and he smiled before pushing the table in.

He left after setting the dishes on the table, and Roman made to drop Rosy on a chair, but she tightened her legs on him.

"I want to be in your arms for three more minutes" she whispered.

"As you wish" he replied with a big smile, adjusting her body.
...

THIRTY MINUTES LATER*

Dinner has already been consumed, and right now the parents are at the balcony.

Thanks to the classical services, there's an auto bed there for leisure before bedtime, so they're both laying on the bed beside each other.

Rosy had to lay down with her right side cos of her back, Roman supported her with an arm, bringing her head to his chest with that.

There's a bowl of ice cream she ate from time to time, then several bowls of snacks.

"So...when did you learn to fight that professionally?" She suddenly asked.

"Back then when I was a taxi driver, I got beaten up twice by thugs and they tried to take my taxi those two times, but i escaped miraculously. When I finally got a job and stopped being a driver, i made it my priority to learn how to defend myself, and I trained for a year." he said.

"Where is that taxi now?" She asked.

"It's in my park at the mansion, can never throw it away, my dad's only gift" he replied, and she smiled.

"I'm glad you eventually made it, and i wish he was here to witness it" she said, resting on her elbows to stare at his face.

"You and Liam are enough for me, I want just you both, and I have mum too" he replied, and she smiled before taking her ice cream to eat again.

"Why is your lips not stained tonight?" He said.

"Why? So you can kiss away the stain?" She chuckled.

"Is it obvious?" He asked, and she laughed, feeding him some ice cream from her spoon.

She topped it up with a kiss on his lips, and he closed his eyes.

"Damn, i love your lips" he said, and the sound of her laughter could be heard echoing in the balcony, the stars cheering beautifully above them in the night sky.

THE MENDEZ*

The driver drove in the limo, and immediately it got to the park, Opium stormed out and waltzed into the mansion.

Donovan came out of the car too, unable to open his mouth cos of his lost tooth.

He branched at the hospital with Opium though, and he got treatment for the teeth to stop the blood, but the pain still persists.

He was wincing repeatedly as he opened the door to the mansion and stepped in.

Of all his four brothers, only two are in... Kay and Tyson.
