"Where are you?" The first chat message I received in the morning and it was from Roman.
I rubbed my eyes first and responded to his message, "In my bed."
"Come over in my house. You have to continue your guitar practice. I am about to order pizza and pasta. Let's have snacks together. It is your favorite, right?" Roman immediately responded.
Ohhh! Come on. How could he offer me those foods now. Tempting! He really knows my favorites!
As usual, he was alone in his house since his parents were gone and his one and only older brother got married and resided outside the country.
I inhaled deeply as I had to calm down myself.
The voice of my father echoed at the back of my head… 'I don't want to see you with Roman again, ever.'
This thing was really prohibited for the protection of Rome. I am afraid that it will cost his life if my dad will find out but what if my dad won't find out?
My phone rang and it was Roman!
He really won't let me reject his invitation, huh.
I grabbed a huge air to breath. I stood up first to check if my door was lock so no one could enter while I am talking to Roman.
I went back to my bed and answered it with a low voice.
"Hey," I said.
"Where are you? It took you time before you respond. Is there anything wrong?" Roman asked.
"Oh… of course not. I am just planning to sleep again. Sorry if I didn't answer your messages fast base on your expectation."
"I am just worried. I just over think that your dad will totally stop you from seeing me. I know he hates me. It was just there's a fear that creeps in me that you will forcely leave me soon." Roman said and I felt guilty with that. He knows well my dad's condition but I can't tell him that. It will hurt him.
"You are thinking too much! I will just get my self prepare and I will be there later. Make sure that the pasta and pizza is good. See you later." I said and ended up the call. I don't want to make our conversation long because I may about to lose some words and reasons to say.
I got up and went to the shower room to take a bath and prepare myself.
It was quick and I just took a comfy clothes to wear. I usually wearing a simple top and shorts whenever I am about to meet Roman.
I went out of my room slowly and unluckily I heard my dad's voice.
Greg was about to pass by in front of me while he was holding his phone so I asked him, "Hey, Greg!" with my voice low.
"Uhm? Why?" He stopped in front of me but his eyes was fixed on his phone.
"I thought dad already left but I heard his voice. Do you know what time he will leave today?"
Greg closed his eyes and think, "I think he is just waiting for the driver to come then he will leave. I thought that he will leave early too."
"Don't tell me you are going to meet Roman again? Beware of your actions. You know what will be the possible things that could happen if dad found it out." He said.
"I know, I know." I said irritably though I know he is on point.
He started walking and went to the stairs to go down and I followed.
My dad was standing in front of the door and was talking on the phone.
Oh my god! How am I going to leave now?
He was merely being a guard there.
I stood at a corner that was not that noticeable to my father's eyes. I am just uncomfortable talking to him lately due to the topic that he was kept on bringing up, marrying The Dawson and besides, I know that he won't let me go. He will think that I will meet Roman again which is right.
"Are you sure you are leaving?" Greg said behind me that surprised me. I thought he went to the kitchen.
"Oh!" I reacted then tapped him at his shoulders. "Don't do that!"
"I am giving you a reminder and warning at the same time. You know dad. He will not give you a word to scare you, he is true in everything." My brother said and I felt that my body was washed with icy cold water.
I can't deny that I felt nervous upon hearing that from my brother.
My dad turned and walk toward our place. I cleared my throat and bit my up and lower lips. I hope that he won't notice that I am about to leave.
"Allison, you are early today. I smell that you are leaving. Where are you headed?" He said then stopped in front of us.
Even though my brother loves me, he can't save me in front my dad. He knows him really well. It will bring him in to trouble if my dad dins out that he was supporting me from my rebellion against his will.
"I just want to look for some make up today. You know, I want to look presentable at all times in front of Louis and The Dawson family." I said and smiled to convince my dad.
"Make up? This early?" My dad reacted and smirked.
"You are sure about that, Allison?" He added and that question for confirmation mad my gaze switch to the floor.
I admit, I am lying and I can't stand his presence.
"If that so, take care." He turned his body against me and stepped forward and left me a word before he completely left with his hands on his pocket, "Don't forget what I said to you."
I exhaled exaggeratedly as he left and heard my brother's voice, "See? I am just concern on what might happen to you in the future and to your guy." Then he left too.
I went back to my room and messaged Roman.
"Hey, sorry. I won't be able to come there today. I just had an important task to do today. I am sorry."
I just laid my back at my bed again and closed my eyes.
Then as I expected, Roman called.
"Ring! Ring! Ring!"
"Allison?"
"Uhm?"
"Where are you? I already expected you to come! Why did you cancel it so quickly? Are you leaving me?" He said.
"No, I'm not. I was just had a task to do today. I forgot. I'm sorry."
"What task is that?" He asked that made me quiet.
".…"
"You are lying. I know you well if you are lying. You don't want to see me do you?" He asked and I am really out of words to use for reasons.
How can I? I want to see him and be with him but I can't.
"Hey! Don't tell that! Of course I want!"
"If you are not going to come today, you don't." He said and I don't think if he is blackmailing me but I do want to see him but how.
He ended the call.
I got up from the bed and inhaled deeply. Give me time to think for a few minutes.
Roman won.
I went to my window where I could see the front side of our house and a glimpse of our gate and timely, my dad left.
I immediately went outside to check whether my dad had left completely.
After making sure of it, I messaged Roman and said, "I am on my way."
I drove my car going to Roman's house with a pump that hammered that hammers the rib case of my heart. I am nervous but excited at the same time.
I arrived quickly and safe and saw Roman waiting for me at the door.
I got out of the car and the smile of Roman seeing me is priceless.
"I knew you'll come."
As we enter the house, he immediately pinned my hands on the wall and looked in to my eyes closer.
"I love you," he said passionately.
"I love y…" he didn't let me finish my words and kissed my lips.
I can feel the heat of his body.
His lips was exploring my lips to my neck using his stubborn tongue.
His hands started to lift up my shirt and I left him.
I am now feeling the burning palm of him in my breast that boost me to want me go deeper.
He lifted me up and brought me to the sofa.
I was lying down while he was on my top.
"Ugh!" I said as I was enjoying the moment and smiled.
He bit me on my neck and our body became intimately closer.
The atmosphere was getting more hot and intense until my phone rang.
"Ring! Ring! Ring!"
We both suddenly stopped as I took my phone on my pocket.
My eyes widened and my heart raced fast when I saw the name of my dad.
I don't want to answer the call but I have to.
I cleared my throat and answered dad, "Yes, dad?"
"Allison, come out!"
