I looked at the ceiling and huffed. Roman is stubborn. Everything points to me not cheating but he still didn’t believe me.

It’s been two weeks since we went to the club. A week since Roman started treating me less shitty. The worst thing is that I actually miss him a lot. I knew he can get irritated easily but the way he talks with me hurt.

He is the first person to call me a slut. He didn’t even like me before.. I don’t even want to think about him hating me after what happened. I know the cheating thing is not easy on him since he have been through it before.

But he needs to understand that I won’t do that to him. I sat up and looked at the time. it’s almost lunch time Aiden must be hungry and I have been hiding in the room here since I woke up.

I walked downstairs and Roman was staring at the wall in the kitchen. I frowned. “sir?” I called for him but he didn’t even blink. I waved my hand in front of his face.

“huh?” he looked at me and blinked a few times. I giggled. “what are you thinking about?” I asked and he shrugged.

I grabbed the beer in front of him and scrunched my nose. “disgusting” I threw it in the trash.

He cleared his throat. “I will throw away all the alcohol in the house” he hummed. “anything else?” he asked looking serious.

Why is he acting weird all of a sudden? I shook my head “we will order lunch today so go rest” he stood up and washed his mouth.

He walked closer to me. “I forgive you” he ran his fingers through my hair and I frowned.

“you forgive me for what? I didn’t do anything” I huffed and took a step back from him. “do you think this is easy for me? do you know how a dominant feel when their sub cheat on them? people look down on them.. it’s like the sub have no respect or appreciation for the dom after they took care of them..” I cut him off. “I didn’t cheat” I screamed loudly.

He looked down and I held his hand. “I won’t do something that will bring shame or hurt your pride. I won’t let someone look down on you because of me. I’m not her Roman” I said softly and he took a deep breath.

“but Roman you have been treating me bad and it hurts.. even Aiden is upset about how things are between us” I explained and intertwined our fingers.

He nodded. “I know.. I’m sorry for not believing you before and making it hard on everyone” he looked at me and I saw his stoic face. He was trying to hide how he was feeling but it didn’t bother me this time. in a way I understood that it will take a lot until he shows me his vulnerable side. That if we stayed together.

“Aiden told me that you were trying to make me like you..” he said and I blushed. Aiden and his big mouth.

“you can’t force someone to like you but don’t give up..” he kissed my head and walked out of the kitchen.

Roman threw all the alcohol away like he said he will. he also gave me a few recipes to cook if Julia wasn’t here.

All these recipes were healthy some of them didn’t look good too. I didn’t think much about these changes I just thought that he wanted us to be healthier.

It was now the middle of the week and I just returned back home feeling tired from work. Aiden was holding one of his school books.

“hey honey.. where is Julia?” I kissed his head and sat next to him. he looked at me and smiled a little. “she left when we got back.. can you help me?” he asked and I nodded.

I helped him a little but he wasn’t focusing with me. he had a distance look as he bit his pen then sighing.

“Aiden are you okay?” I rubbed his back and he nodded. “I had a fight with someone today” he looked down.

“about what?” I asked and he blushed. “Donny was sitting alone and a boy started bothering him so I kind of defended Donny and punched that dumbass” he looked at me.

I gasped and he shushed me. “don’t tell dad” he begged and I nodded. “anyway Donny got mad at me for hurting someone.. it was the first time he talked with me and it wasn’t good” he pouted.

“it’s okay you can talk with him about it.. what about Brian?” I asked him and he smiled. “I have a class with Brian.. he is so cute” he cleared his throat when Roman walked in holding the puppies and I rolled my eyes.

We finished his homework. “thanks Eli” he smiled and I nodded. “sorry you seem tired” he mumbled and I glanced at Roman who was suddenly staring at us.

“I will drive you to work from now on” he said and I shook my head. “sir it’s okay” I said and he shook his head.

“and I will drive Aiden if he isn’t going with his friends” he said sternly and I nodded. Aiden got up and put his shoes on. “where do you think you are going?” I asked him and he snickered.

“to my friend’s house” he said and I nodded. “don’t be late”. he nodded and left.

“I need a shower” I hummed and he said he will join me. I looked at him and he shrugged. “in case you slip or something”.

What kind of excuse is this? I looked at Roman as he was looking at my curls and touching them. “you have soft curls right? because there are people with more curlier hair than you” he hummed and I nodded.

He grabbed my face and turned it left and right. “you have shampoo in your hair” I mumbled and he pulled away.

Why is he acting like this is the first time he sees me? “even for a submissive you are short” he hummed before washing his hair.

“not really you’re the giant one” I blushed and he scoffed at me. “you’re just extra tiny” he chuckled and I huffed. I forgot the sound of his lough.

I smiled and he picked me up with one arm. “you need more weight in your body” he tutted and I shook my head.

“you mean I need to work out” I sighed and wrapped my arms around his neck. “maybe I can join you in your morning jog?” I smiled and he tutted. “no work out for you” he ordered.

“but daddy…” I pouted and he shushed me. we finished our shower and got dressed.

the next day I woke up earlier than I usually do. I rushed to the bathroom to threw up. Oh shit I felt horrible.. it’s probably because of what Roman made us eat for dinner last night.

I brushed my teeth before going to Roman’s room. he was getting dressed for his morning jog. “you okay?” he asked as I sat on his bed.

“I threw up because of what you fed me last night” I sighed and he nodded. “sorry” he sighed and sat next to me.

His lips twitched and I frowned. “it’s okay sir” I smiled and he pushed my hair back. “we will eat something that have more calories” he said and pulled his hand away.

“why are you acting different?” I asked him and his face went back to being blank. No I had to ruin it when he was showing me some kind of emotions and being a little caring towards me.

“I have to go now” he left the room and I sighed laying on his bed. I hugged his pillow. it smells like him making me feel better as I drifted back to sleep.

today was slow and annoying and I thought it couldn’t get worse but I was wrong when Zach just walked in our house like he owns it made everything worse for me.

I couldn’t stand the sight of him or his voice. He was all over Roman making me scrunch my nose in disgust at his smell and behavior.

He acted like me and Aiden weren’t here. not that I want him to talk with me. “you don’t like him at all” Aiden chuckled and I nodded.

“he better back off my dominant or else” I narrowed my eyes at him from the kitchen. Aiden pulled me away.

“want to prank him?” Aiden whispered and I nodded. I didn’t care if Roman will get mad at me as long as I make Zach annoyed.

“what is he scared of?” I asked Aiden and he shrugged. I huffed and Aiden smiled. “Eli you are cooking dinner and he clearly will join us so.. I will go feed the puppies and you know what to do”.

When I finished the dinner and putting the food on the plates I made sure Zach’s plate was extra spicy.

“dinner is ready” I shouted and Aiden sat on his chair winking at me. Zach walked to the kitchen and looked at the food. “Roman said that your cooking is okay so at least I won’t get food poisoning today” he gave me a dirty look as he sat down next to Aiden.

“Actually Eli is as good as Julia in cooking” Aiden smiled. I love this boy. “where is Roman?” I asked Zach as I put the plates on the table.

“he went to wash up and cool himself a little I guess he felt hot from me being close to him” he smirked and I turned around to roll my eyes. He was trying to make me jealous but two can play the game.

“a sweaty Roman is my favorite view.. too bad you can’t see how hot he gets in the bed” I hummed. Zach gritted his teeth.

“who said I didn’t?” he smirked and I felt something snap in me. Roman didn’t say anything about him hooking up with Zach before.

“oh really? I guess he didn’t come back for a second time I wonder why?” I smiled and he smacked his hand on the table. “Aiden go see your father” I said and he left.

“let’s talk about how many times you did it with him” Zach leaned back looking pissed. Good.

“I lost the count.. hmm the first time we met after we got matched was our first time.. after that he couldn’t keep his hands away from me” I smirked, a little lie won’t hurt. Aiden was fast since he came back and sat on his chair looking at us.

Zach gasped at what I said. “ever since Eli got in our life me and dad are happy” Aiden smiled at me.

“aren’t you happy for your friend?” I gave Zach a fake smile. Roman walked in and sat next to me. “what’s wrong?” he asked confused as he looked to our faces.

Aiden was already eating as he avoided his father’s eyes and Zach looked pissed with one eyebrow raised. I kissed Roman's cheek. “nothing babe”.

“Elijah was talking about your sex life in front of Aiden” Zach said and I glared at him. “you started it. talking about how Roman was feeling hot from being next to you” I hissed at him.

Zach pouted and looked at Roman. “babe..” I cut him off. “don’t call him that he’s not your dominant he’s mine accept it and stop clinging to his side” I snapped at him.

“oh really? it’s been more than a month and he didn’t even say that he have feelings for you. Who’s the one clinging to his side huh?” he smirked and I felt my eyes water as I looked at Roman to say something and prove Zach wrong but he didn’t.

I shook my head to prevent myself from crying in front of him. “yeah a month not fourteen years”. Zach clenched his jaw. “you fucking b-“ he said but Roman cut him off.

“both of you better shut up and have some respect for me..” Roman shouted and I pouted. He didn’t say what I wanted him to say. “me and Zach are just friends stop thinking more about it and you Zach stop arguing with my sub”.

“dad are you serious it was starting to be interesting why did you make them stop?” he scoffed and Roman glared at him. I tried to hold me giggle so Roman won’t get more angry.

I just nodded to Roman and looked at Zach as he grabbed his spoon and ate. His eyes watered as he swallowed.

He coughed. “this is too spicy” he huffed and I looked at Aiden. I was feeling bad now.

Aiden shook his head. Roman gave Zach a water bottle and ate some of his food. “it’s not.. it taste good” he scoffed at Zach who was drinking water.

Zach sighed and tasted the food in Roman’s plate. “yours isn’t spicy” he said then looked at me. Roman tasted the food in Zach plates. That’s it I’m fucked.

Roman grabbed the water bottle from Zach and drank some. Aiden laughed and I shook my head. “who did it?” Roman growled. Me and Aiden pointed at each other.

“it was me.. my idea and everything” I frowned and Roman looked at me. he looked disappointed which made me want to cry. I didn’t want Aiden to get in any troubles.

“fucking childish” Zach mumbled. “says the one who almost cried” I tutted. “why don’t you fucking eat some huh? Let’s see how much you can handle before you cry” he pushed his plate closer to me. “fine” I gripped the plate.

Roman snatched the plate from me. “my sub will not eat this Zach” Roman glared at him and Zach looked at him with wide eyes. “but he did that to me.. so you won’t even punish him?” Zach clenched his jaw.

“that’s enough both of you better behave or leave” he shouted.

Roman pulled Zach closer to him. “we can share.. I’m sorry” he sighed. Zach glanced at me smirking smugly as he leaned closer to Roman.

I tried to eat a little as I saw Zach rubbing his hand on Roman’s shoulder. The smell of Zach’s cologne was stronger now since he was closer to me.

I couldn’t eat more because of the smell and the sight of them close together, I covered my nose and Aiden looked at me.

I rushed to the bathroom and threw up. To my surprise it was Zach who followed me. I washed my mouth and face as he looked at me.

I walked out and he grabbed my arm. “you’re going to regret making Roman upset with me” he threatened me and walked back to the kitchen.

I sighed as I walked to the kitchen. Roman looked at me and his lips twitched again. I can’t deal with anything right now.

“I’m going up to rest” I said and walked to Roman’s room. I wore one of his shirts and I laid on his bed then called Monica. I don’t know how long we talked but I felt a little better.

We agreed to meet tomorrow here. I hugged Roman’s pillow. I don’t know what Roman will say to me when he comes here.

The last thing I want is to have is a conversation or an argument about Zach. I huffed as Roman walked in the room. “Zach just left and Aiden is asleep” he sighed as he sat next to me. he smelled like Zach making me groan.

“change or take a shower you smell just like him I can’t stand it” he sniffed his shirt and scrunched his nose then he walked to his closet. I guess he doesn’t like it too it was heavy.

I looked at my phone and it was midnight now. of course he will stay as long as he can to be with Roman. How can Roman handle his annoying ass?

I sat up as Roman walked in the room again wearing a sweatpants with no shirt. He looked at me. “why did you do that?” he asked me.

“because he.. I just don’t like him..” I pouted looking at his annoyed face. “you’re just jealous” he shook his head and sat next to me. “I’m not jealous of him.. who are you dating? Who is living with you? Who are you attracted to? Who is your baby?” I straddled his lap and glared at him.

“you look like an angry kitten” he said and I gasped. “next time you see him behave okay petal?” his voice was deep as his eyes started intensely at mine. I nodded and looked down to show him I respected his order.

“good boy” he hummed and continued “do you feel more comfy here?” he asked as he rubbed my side.

I nodded and laid my head on his shoulder. “then sleep here from now on I will help you move your things” he said and I kissed his neck.

I looked at him and smiled. “and we can decorate the room together?” I bit my lips and he nodded.

“I don’t want a lot of pink in our room okay?” he sighed and I giggled. “say that again” I pressed our foreheads together. “no pink?” he asked confused and I shook my head.

“our room” I bit my lips and he hummed. “our room” he mumbled. I kissed him softly. “you are easily satisfied I like that about you” he tucked my hair behind my ear and I blushed.

Hearing him say something that he likes about me made me feel happy. It was the first time and hopefully won’t be the last.
