A few minutes have passed and he hasn't said anything yet. His body has gone rock solid and I'm afraid, that he might not be breathing.
" R-Roman, please say something." I whisper out.
I feel desperate for him to say something, anything.
" What happened?"
I take a breath before confessing.
" It was my 11th birthday and my family decided to surprise me. They didn't want me depressing over you leaving anymore. They hosted the party at aunt Karen's house and the theme was a masked party.
We were playing hide and seek when it happened." I trail off. " I thought the shed would be a good place for me to hide, but I was wrong. I stepped in there and I was only there for a short while, but it was enough for someone to grab me from behind. I had no idea that someone had been in there, I swear." I stop short when I hear him breathing hard.

You need to wake up." The voice sounds desperate and still like Roman's.I must be dreaming that's for sure, because as far as I know, Roman left." Come on Sweet.

My heart jumps at the sight of Roman, who is seating on the hood of his car, busy on his phone. As if he can feel me staring, he glances up my way and that's when a smile that takes over my face. I am done with my session and now I have just come outside, seeing him just stopped me in my tracks. He gets off his hood and I start towards him, wanting to be in his arms already. My smile wavers when I notice his footsteps quicken, his whole demeanor changing and his eyes growing wide." Hazel!!!" He shouts, now no longer walking but full on sprinting towards me.My footsteps faulter and my smile slips as I give him a confused look. Horror flashes on his face as his eyes glance behind me for a second. In the midst of following his line of view and glancing over my shoulder, I'm grabbed so fast, away from where I am standing, that I have no time to react. I hear the sound of screeching wheels with something swishing by.

"Do I look okay?" I ask, turning away from the mirror to face Roman.He has been standing leaned by the doorway, just watching me. He literally roams his eyes all over my frame before a grin lifts on his face." Well?" I say impatiently." Hazel, you look good in anything you put on." He says, pushing off the wall and coming towards me." Thank you but this is different, it is lunch with your family. " " Baby, I don't think they like you because of what you wear but because of who you are. You are practically family and what you wear is just a bonus." He says, pulling me close by my waist." I hear you, I really do. So, about this." I gesture to my outfit, which is more of a street style with cargo pants, white shirt and heels. I made sure to tie my hair back and keep it neat and clean." Is it okay?"

He loves me. He didn't let me know through speaking outloud but, through words written down. His eyes, for so long have expressed it and I took too long to figure it out. He has not said the words though and for the rest of yesterday, I had been trying to get him to say them. But oh yes, Roman O'Connor is stubborn. I didn't want to make it obvious that I wanted him to say the words. I think at the end of the day, he figured everything out, after all that massaging, baking for him, cuddling and even Romy Time. Yes, Roman O'Connor is stubborn.I even caught him secretly smirking when I asked if there was anything, important that he wanted to say but nope, he simply shook his head and played all innocent.

Getting out of bed, I stretch a bit before heading out of my room.In the bathroom, I do my morning routine and when I open the door, a gasp slips out when Roman quickly gets in and locks the door. My jaw drops at his actions." Roman, what are you doing in here?!" I whisper out, still surprised by his actions.He doesn't say anything but steps closer."Uh w-what are you doing?" I nervously ask, stepping back.I step back until I have no more room left and my back, touches the wall. I let out a shaky breath when he places both his hands on either side of my head, caging me in. He leans in, brushing his lips against mine, making my knees to go weak at his teasing. Just when I lean in to kiss him, he surprises me when he picks me up. I wrap my l
