Chapter Six
Work finally sloweddown.
There were no other random women accusing Roman of fathering their babies.There was no disaster campaign that needed saving.It was just business as usual.Roman didn’t have any impromptu visits out of the country.
From the moment she was on the clock, as was he, it was professional.Even if they did arrive at the office together.The instant they were in the building, Roman created distance between them.He didn’t linger his gaze at her.No stray hand on her back or her ass.When they were alone, that was exactly what they got.
At lunch, he worked through it, and sometimes they had lunch together.Abigail didn’t know what was wrong with her, as one week passed, then a second.
Their days were devoted to work.At night, he would come by her place, or he’d tell her to come by his.They alternated their time.Sundays were the same, the only difference was, they spent their time fucking, or making love.It was a fuck fest.
They never gave a single hint to anyone what was happening the moment they were on private property.She loved their time away from the office.
Then her cycle appeared, just as she knew it would.Her pills had stopped a few days ago.She always had to wait a couple of days, but the pains had already started.She never let it show.That didn’t stop her from yearning for Roman’s touch throughout the day.He’d been respectful of her.Only tonight, that was not going to happen because of her dreaded cycle.
They had stopped using condoms, and that was a whole other experience.She didn’t think it could get any hotter with Roman, yet he proved her wrong time and time again.He loved to watch.After they’d both reach climax, Roman would pull out and watch between her thighs as his seed came out of her pussy.There were times he’d rub his fingers against her and smear it all over her pussy.Sometimes, it would arouse him, and he’d take her again, watching as his previous cum slid over his cock.It was dirty, filthy, and it turned her on even more.
She had expected the sex to wane between them.They’d been together now nearly a month, and she had never known a woman to stay in Roman’s world for longer than that.He didn’t buy her jewels, or send her flowers.She got his company, and she loved the weekends they’d shared together.
By the end of Friday, with her stomach hurting, she made her way into his office.She always said goodbye, only this time, she was going to have to tell him there was no point in him coming home to her.
“I’m about to head out,” she said.
“I’ll see you soon,” Roman said.He was always vague so if anyone was listening to them, they didn’t know what he was talking about.
“Uh, about that, I don’t think it is a good time for you to come tonight,” she said, hating that she was even saying it.
Roman put down the piece of paper he’d been reading.“Why?”
“It’s my time of the month, and nothing is going to happen.Sorry,” she said.
“Okay,” Roman said.“Is that all?Your menstrual cycle is here?”
This was strange.Her ex never wanted to know.He didn’t want to talk about it, because he thought it was weird and gross.
“Yes,” she said.And she hated that it meant he wasn’t coming around tonight.
Roman nodded.“See you soon.”
She wanted to ask him what that meant, but instead she wished him a good night and made her way out of his office.She took the elevator to the base floor, where Carl was waiting.She was tempted to tell him not to bother, but the truth was, she was tired of putting on a brave face now.Her body hurt.She ached.Her stomach felt tender, and she was seriously bloated, and she just wanted to take a nice, hot shower, change into the worst but most comfortable pair of pajamas she owned, and eat ice cream for the whole night.Maybe with some hot chocolate fudge sauce, or maybe even peanut butter chocolate fudge sauce.Both sounded great.
Carl dropped her off outside of her apartment building, and she thanked him before leaving him behind.Stepping into her apartment, she closed and locked the door.She made her way to her bedroom and removed her clothes, tossing them into the laundry basket the moment she was finished with them.
Once she was naked, she turned the hot water on, waited a minute, and as she did, she thought about Roman.Whenever they took a shower together, he always put his back to the cold water, protecting her.He was a gentleman that way.
Stepping beneath the hot steam, she tilted her head back and basked in the warmth.Her body felt so ...terrible.She hated this part of being a woman.It was painful, and no matter what, they had to suck it up, because that was life.
After soaping her body, she quickly washed her hair with shampoo, followed by conditioner, and that was the shower complete.She turned off the hot water, wrapped a towel around her body, prepared her panties for her cycle, and slid them on.Drying her body, she quickly changed into her ugliest pair of pajamas, which were so old they had holes around the neckband.For some reason, Abigail just couldn’t bring herself to toss them out.They were so comfortable.
Once they were on, and her hair was dried as well as it could be without a blow-dryer, she made her way outside to her fridge, only to discover she and Roman had eaten the last of her ice cream.Which sucked.To have more ice cream meant going to the freaking store, which was not what she wanted to do.
She made her way to her sofa and grabbed the remote.Life fucking sucked without ice cream.She started to click through the channels and it would seem life sucked on television as well.
Abigail had just turned the television off when there was a knock at her door.She frowned.There were no deliveries, and once again, she hadn’t let anyone inside.
