When he pulled up to the curb, he switched the car off. He turned to face her, saying, “Are you sure you don’t need me to come?”
Blair answered truthfully. “No, that will only make matters worse.”
“Well, to say honest and transparent with you. I’m letting you know I’m driving down there, anyway. There is a property I’m going to be looking at as a weekender. If you need me, call.” Roman shocked her with this. A weekender. Had this been planned before, or was it because they had hooked up? She believed him that he had every intention of looking at a place. Roman didn’t lie or make up stories.
“What property?” Blair hadn’t even known he wanted a weekender. She wondered if she would know the place.
Roman smiled. “My realtor sent the details through. When I know more, I will tell you. I’m just looking.”
She knew he wasn’t going to tell her anymore. “I shouldn’t need you. My sisters will be there, so I will not be alone.”
Roman leaned forward, placing his lips on hers. “Promise me.”
Blair’s breath caught in her throat. “I promise.”
“Good girl.” He said in a guttural growl before taking her mouth.
Pulling back, he groaned, “We don’t have time for this. You better go before we get seen. Because I’m a hair’s breath from not caring who sees us.”
Every time he spoke like that, it gave her a secret thrill. That this man wanted her so deeply. “I’ll see you tonight.”
“Do you want me to pick you up tonight from here?” Roman asked.
“Yes please. I’ll message you when I’m heading back.” Blair promised.
Roman leaned in to kiss her before saying. “I can’t even say have a great time. The only part I think you will enjoy is being with your sisters.”
Blair pulled back. “I will not let anything happen and my sisters will be there. I don’t want Dan. They can’t change my mind about that. After knowing he cheated, my sisters will support me.”
She gave him one last quick kiss, smiling she got out of the car. Blair walked down the few street numbers until she got to the building that housed Sutton and Keira’s place. She turned and waved at Roman, still sitting in his car watching her. She entered the building, knowing instinctively that he wouldn’t leave until she was safely inside.
Blair had an extra spring in her step as she went up the stairs to the first floor. There were only two apartments on this floor. Blair’s sisters and a married couple in their 40s.
Blair knocked on their door and it opened almost straight away, telling her that her sisters had been waiting for her arrival. “Hey.”
Then she was pulled into both their arms for a hug. Blair breathed them in. This felt like home. The sad thing was the reason they were hugging her was because of Dan, and she honestly didn’t care. She was well shot of him.
“Sutton, Keira, I promise I’m ok. Yes, Dan is a two–timing scumbag, but at least I found out now.” Blair felt guilty that they didn’t know yet about Roman. She should hurt more about Dan, but she didn’t. The intense passion she felt with Roman was ten times better than what she had ever experienced with Dan.
