“You look good, girl.” He pulled me in for a tight hug. “I wasn’t expecting you. Is everything okay?”

“Yea. I honestly just missed you and wanted to come see you, if it’s no problem.”

Roman ran his tongue over his teeth. “You know your fine ass can come see me whenever you want. Did you eat?”

“I did earlier. I just want to sit with you and talk. That’s all. I’m not hungry.”

“Hmm.” He pulled out the chair next to him, helping me sit. “What you want to talk about?”

“I finished therapy today, and I came to realize that I’ve been unappreciative and just outright mean to you, and you don’t deserve that. I was hurting for a long time, and I took it out on you, but I blame myself because I didn’t give myself time to heal in between trying to be outside after a heartbreak, and now we are here, and I’m carrying our blessing.” I stopped to place his hand on my stomach. “I’m sorry, and I’m ready to be a woman and say that,” I laughed nervously to keep from hopping down and running away.

“I love this vulnerable side of you. I told you, I see you, and I’m here for a long time, not just a good time. Yea we came about in a crazy ass way but from the first night I laid eyes on you downstairs, I knew you were gonna be mine.”

“Let me find out you trapped me.”

“I didn’t, but the timing was perfect,” he shrugged, “you know how they say when two people mesh and shit just happens organically? Well, that’s us.”

“You just think you know it all and got it all covered, huh?” I looked at him with lust filled eyes.

“Nah., I know the young man I was and that wasn’t it, and I became the old man I wanted to become for the woman who deserved it. Simple. I used to be a knucklehead but for the right woman, the man will come correct.”

“Umm hmm, you are just so damn smooth, give me a kiss. I miss that.” Roman kissed me, adding tongue. All the “fuck you’s” and “I hate you’s” was soon turning into “I love you.” I pulled away, biting down on my lip. “I’m already pregnant, stop trying to seduce me out here on these people's rooftops.”

“Shid, all that means is we can have some nasty ass fun with no scares.”

“You gonna stop trying to get in my pants.”

“Baby girl, go on and lift that dress up for me and stop playing.” He told the bartender to charge his room, popped me on my ass, and led me onto the elevator. “You gonna be my woman or just my baby mama who occasionally wants a dick?”

“Are we ready for that?”

“We already survived the worst of the test. Let me show you how a real man treats his woman with no marriage in the mix.”

“I think I like that.”

For two days I lay under Roman. Clingy wasn’t the word for how I had become. Wherever he went, I wanted to tag along. But today I needed to go home, change, and head to my mother’s house for her small gathering for her birthday.

“So, you leaving me, huh?” I stood in between Roman’s legs while he sat on the stool. I ran my hands through his locs, pushing them out of his face to look at him.

“You can just come with me. I wouldn’t mind.” My hands were now around his neck. “Besides, you get a proper introduction.”

“I know, but you know I got my Godson's game today or I’d be with you.”

“Right. I keep forgetting.” In my feelings, I tried to hide the fact that I was salty.

“I’ll come right after. Stop trippin’, lil mama.” He lifted my chin. “You so damn spoiled. Get dressed, and I’ll have the driver drop you off.”

“Okayyyy daddy.” I stuck out my tongue. “Do we have time for a quickie or nah?”

“Bend that ass over. I’m gonna ask these doctors why you so damn horny, too.” He cut his eyes at me.

“If you won’t do it-”

“You lucky you are carrying my seed, or I’d hem your little ass up.”

“But I love you, babe.”

“Go get ready, you ain’t getting this dick til later. And I love you too.” He playfully pushed me towards the bedroom.
