Roman
"Sir should I order your lunch?" His secretary asked but with a smile he replied with a no.It was sudden, he knew but the urge of going to Mikaella and asking her out for lunch was great. He knew very well that Mikaella would refuse his lunch proposal but deep down what he wanted to see was her. His wife was a clever little minx trying to avoid him.Like today, she had woken up so early and went off to work just to avoid him. But that would change, he was determined to win her back come what may."What do you mean she is not in?"Roman asked the brunette seating before Mick's office.His heart fell a little, the drive on the way here was worth it all because her and now? She was not even in? Then where was she? The question dominated his mind. Where was she?"Just what I said Sir, she's not yet back"Did she go to lunch earlier? But he arrived earlier didn't he?"Back from where?""She happMikaellaShe really wanted to believe him. To believe those grey eyes that made her heart pound everytime. But falling for Roman Cervantes was pure torture. One day he was into you so much that you'd almost have sex in the dining room and the next he was not. The next he was a cruel guy who didn't want anything to do with her.Color drained from his eyes when she said she didn't want him, it was like he was breaking from the inside and when Mikaella went to say something more, this came out instead,"Aaah_chew!"She sneezed right in Roman's face. Roman pulling away slowly removed his jacket wrapping it around Mick's shoulders."Let's go home" He simply stated.She couldn't quite pin it but deep down she knew he was upset. Did he really care for her?"I still have work to do so excuse me,"she replied trying to move past him but he was quick to grab hold of her wrist, taking advantage of the situation and yanking her into
RomanHe was so cautious not to touch her. Not to do anything but help her feel better. And as he fed her, he wanted nothing more but to touch her, take her hand and assure her that she would feel better in a day thanks to his killer soup. But he understood. Taking advantage of Mikaella while she was weak wasn't the right thing. That would only lead to more arguments.More arguments about the love he claimed he had for, more arguments about the Pierce guy. Ooh the Pierce guy, even without being told he could tell that Mick cared for the dang bastard. Why did she not slap the douche when he drenched all her clothes? Or dance with the guy merrily at the Griffin' party.The thought that Mikaella was warming up to another guy and not him made his heart break a little... Switching off the lights and pecking her forehead lightly he decided to leave the room but Mick's hand laced with his and the profound feeling of his heart beating was back.Roman afte
RomanHis grandfather's threats did nothing to him. He was ready to build his own life again just like his dad, okay not necessarily join the army like his dad did, but still he had enough money and other businesses like real estate, wine processing factories heck even auto motors to move on with his life.What upset him was the fact that his grandpa thought his wife was some cheapskate! She was more than that. Mikaella was not a golddigger she was so much that he was ready to sacrifice everything just so she could be happy. And forcing himself on her wasn't what she'd call happiness.Marga had already informed him while he climbed the stairs that Mick was awake which meant she'd ran back to her room once she discovered she was on his bed. With a sigh, he entered his room ready to do the necessary.He was surprised seeing her on his couch with his shirt on but he kept the surprise hidden. Taking out the old duffel bag his sister had bought for him
MikaellaShe traced her fingers on his stone hard chest. Gosh it felt so right. She didn't want to overthink it but were they okay? After the whole jumble of emotions, the steamy make out in the bathroom, did he think that she didn't want to be intimate with him because she didn't love him?The negative thoughts leaped in her brain one after the other. She loved this man. Straight from the moment she had Seth, she realized that she loved the man that had consoled her on her disastrous wedding night with tender kisses.Maybe it was fate playing it's tricks. She rubbed his chin grateful that for the first time in forever she was happily in love. But was it going to be long? Would their love be everlasting?"What are you thinking about?" Roman stirred in his sleep making Mikaella to get worked up a little.Laying on his chest, she whispered, "Nothing"Her fingers trailed once more on his pecks stopping at the tattoo on his right chest.
MikaellaHer heart melted and the uncontrolled tears aimlessly left her eyes. With Roman's big hands snuggling her from behind, she smiled once more feeling the love from the two people infront of her more powerful than ever."I don't deserve your love maybe you are right. I'll never change, I'm still the same playboy you met back then. I'm still the same freaking idiot that never treasured you when you all of all people deserved so much. But one thing is for sure this playboy's heart is yours. You have my heart in your hands, it beats for you. You are in my head so much that every morning all I want is to wake up next you"Kevin paused while the rest of the Cervantes family as well as the medical staff in Santa Barbara hospital watched. Chloe with a cast on her hand stayed put on the bed and although Mikaella didn't want to say anything, the girl would definitely say yes this time.It was obviously written in her eyes. The way her eyes glittered
RomanThirty minutes with her for lunch wasn't enough to quench the desire that ignited within him everytime he was with his wife. Lunch had gone pretty smoothly with her gasping now and then recalling how she had found her brother in bed with her best friend, Raquel.It had also come as a surprise to him in a way. He hadn't interacted with Gustavo that much but Raquel, sheesh, the woman was not his spectator. She was like a tornado in a calming day, a hurricane that would appear all of a sudden and wipe everything out. Ofcourse he pretty much deserved Raquel's hate for heartbreaking Mikaella countless times but still the woman was a lot to handle. Quite frankly, he didn't see Gustavo and Raquel lasting together for an year.Looking back at how Mick's beautiful face drove him crazy. He still wondered how in an instant a woman, not his type had really captured his heart that much. He loved her and he wished they could stay like that forever.Swingi
***** Marcus Pierce*****He was at the diner again, ordering what had brought them together in the first place. Sipping his cold beer, he reminisced how a certain brunette had lectured him out of the blue as to why junk foods weren't good for his health.'something as slimy as a greasy burger. Do you know how much grease is in that thing?' The girl with the curly hair and wide rimmed glasses had appeared infront of him and asked such an annoying question.The seventeen year old boy in him had challenged the girl by asking,'Naah why don't you enlighten me, short stuff'Shorty. That nickname always suited her best. It was so funny when she was mad plus adding to her short height, the whole scenario was quite amusing. After huffing the air she had held for so long, she sighed,"All am saying is that if you wanna live long enough to see Bil Clinton retire as president, eating burgers from this place is a step in the wrong direction""You don't say?" He had chuckled
Mikaella"Do not sass me young man!" She shouted, her finger pointed at her son.She couldn't understand where the new attitude came from. Since when did Seth become a naughty kid? Ice cream before dinner? Videogames before he removed his uniform? Making tantrums just to get what he wanted?Had she and Roman really spoiled him that much?"But mom, my friends play videogames all the time,"Seth huffed angrily.Mikaella stopped chopping the tomatoes and looked at her son."Well they don't have strict moms like you do and I'm hoping the conversation stops here. No way in hell am I letting you play videogames again for the fifth time this week. Has Marga been too good with you, is that what this is?""Arggh you are soo frustrating!" Seth shouted."Apologize. Apologize kiddo" Roman's voice came from behind,"she's your mom, you gotta respect her"Roman appeared out of the blue and Seth rolling his eyes apologized,
