Roman stands there and a smile starts to creep up his lips. "That's amazing!" He wraps his arms around Echo's waist and picks her up and embraces her.
"It is?"
"Of course. I'm having a child with the woman I love."
"You love me?"
"Course I do."
"I feel the same way. Now put me down!" Echo laughs while Roman slowly lowers her to the ground.
"I'm going to the Performance Center later. Wanna come watch your man work out every single muscle in his body?"
"My man? I didn't know that you thought of yourself with such a high title." She laughs loudly.
"You coming or naw?"
"Of course I'll meet you there!"
"Okay catch you later."
"Bye." She waves. Many thoughts are racing through her mind. Like why can't she just end things with Jonathan? Oh that's right! It's because she still has room in her heart for him! She starts to sink down to her knees and sits against the nearest wall. She tends to overthink everything. She sinks her head down into her hands.
"Hey." She hears the sweet familiar voice of her best friend, Daisy.
She looks up. "Hi."
"I was just with Cody."
"Oh good, tell him I say hi next time you see him."
"Will do." Daisy sensed that something was wrong. "You okay?"
"Course I am." She lied.
"Whatcha thinkin about?"
"Boys. Like why do they have to be so cute?"
"You sound like a middle schooler!"
"Thanks, I so needed that in this situation." She snaps. Daisy starts to frown. Echo starts to notice what she did. "I'm so sorry." She tries to hug Daisy, but Daisy grabs her arms to prevent the hug.
"It's fine. Just know that I'm always trying to help you, kay? Remember that." She pats Echo's back and walks away.
"I hope she's not mad at me." Echo mumbles to herself. She goes for a short drive when Roman calls her. She answers, "Hello?"
"I'm here."
"You're where? Oh. At the gym. I got it! Be right there!"
"Okay." The conversation ends there.
Echo starts driving toward the Performance Center. It's late at night so no one is there but him and her. Echo walks in.
"I'm here."
"There you are. I've been waiting."
"Sorry."
"No need to be." He walks toward her slowly and she likes how seductive he's being and he lifts her chin. Echo puckers her lips, preparing for the kiss, but Roman puts her in a headlock.
"You got me!" She laughs and Roman lets her go.
"I think we should start practicing our moves on each other."
"Yes. I need to practice a lot."
"Nah I think you're perfect."
"Don't lie to me." She whines jokingly.
"I'm not. You were trained perfectly fine. But I'm gonna train you even more."
"Alright. Game on. Show me what you got."
They get into the ring and they wrestle each other to the ground and they started to sweat instantly. At this point, Echo's tired and Roman is on top of her. Roman looks into her eyes, but it wasn't the innocent look, it was the dirty look that makes Echo melt. He bites his lip and pins Echo's arms to the mat. She was helpless. All she could do was see what Roman was trying to get across.
"Wow."
"Can I help you? I'm like under you and you're not doing anything."
"Wait a sec." Echo's neck was exposed. He knew that was gonna be the first spot to hit. He slowly licks the sweat off of Echo's neck.
"Ew. Why'd you do that?"
"You're sweat tastes salty."
"Obviously. It's sweat!"
"Don't be smart with me little girl!" He starts to bite her neck and just bit and sucked at it until it turned red.
All Echo could think of was, "Jonathan is gonna kill me. He's gonna kill me!" But the pleasure she was feeling was overpowering her fear. She starts to bite her lip.
Roman gets to her lips and starts to kiss her. There was this certain chemistry between these two that they can't seem to ignore. Echo suddenly powers out of his grip and pulls his face down to hers for a passionate kiss. He pulls away and says, "You know we could do this right here and no one would know."
"Do what? Have sex? I'm not trying to make another child!"
"I really don't care right now. I just want you now! I really do. I haven't had you in months."
"Alright, forget it! Let's do this!" She pulls him in for another kiss and so much more happens after that.
