When he pulled up to the curb, he switched the car off. He turned to face her, saying, “Are you sure you don’t need me to come?”

Blair answered truthfully. “No, that will only make matters worse.”

“Well, to say honest and transparent with you. I’m letting you know I’m driving down there, anyway. There is a property I’m going to be looking at as a weekender. If you need me, call.” Roman shocked her with this. A weekender. Had this been planned before, or was it because they had hooked up? She believed him that he had every intention of looking at a place. Roman didn’t lie or make up stories.

“What property?” Blair hadn’t even known he wanted a weekender. She wondered if she would know the place.

Roman smiled. “My realtor sent the details through. When I know more, I will tell you. I’m just looking.”

She knew he wasn’t going to tell her anymore. “I shouldn’t need you. My sisters will be there, so I will not be alone.”

Roman leaned forward, placing his lips on hers. “Promise me.”

Blair’s breath caught in her throat. “I promise.”

“Good girl.” He said in a guttural growl before taking her mouth.

Pulling back, he groaned, “We don’t have time for this. You better go before we get seen. Because I’m a hair’s breath from not caring who sees us.”

Every time he spoke like that, it gave her a secret thrill. That this man wanted her so deeply. “I’ll see you tonight.”

“Do you want me to pick you up tonight from here?” Roman asked.

“Yes please. I’ll message you when I’m heading back.” Blair promised.

Roman leaned in to kiss her before saying. “I can’t even say have a great time. The only part I think you will enjoy is being with your sisters.”

Blair pulled back. “I will not let anything happen and my sisters will be there. I don’t want Dan. They can’t change my mind about that. After knowing he cheated, my sisters will support me.”

She gave him one last quick kiss, smiling she got out of the car. Blair walked down the few street numbers until she got to the building that housed Sutton and Keira’s place. She turned and waved at Roman, still sitting in his car watching her. She entered the building, knowing instinctively that he wouldn’t leave until she was safely inside.

Blair had an extra spring in her step as she went up the stairs to the first floor. There were only two apartments on this floor. Blair’s sisters and a married couple in their 40s.

Blair knocked on their door and it opened almost straight away, telling her that her sisters had been waiting for her arrival. “Hey.”

Then she was pulled into both their arms for a hug. Blair breathed them in. This felt like home. The sad thing was the reason they were hugging her was because of Dan, and she honestly didn’t care. She was well shot of him.

“Sutton, Keira, I promise I’m ok. Yes, Dan is a two–timing scumbag, but at least I found out now.” Blair felt guilty that they didn’t know yet about Roman. She should hurt more about Dan, but she didn’t. The intense passion she felt with Roman was ten times better than what she had ever experienced with Dan.

Keira pulled away first, giving Blair a once over as if seeing if she was telling the truth. Sutton then did the same. Her sisters then looked at each other. Sutton said to Keira. “She does look ok.”

“She is right here and I’m telling you I’m in a good place.” Blair grinned at her sisters.

Sutton gave her another hug before releasing her. Blair touched Sutton’s round belly. She was super excited about the baby. Her older sister put her hand over Blair’s. “I’m glad. I was really worried.”noveldrama

“I’m not as upset as I should be for someone that was about to set a wedding date” Blair admitted. Should she have been worried about that? Had her feelings for Dan been so superficial? Or was it she was blinded by the fact it had been her first sexual relationship? Women put more weight behind their first experience than men did.

“Are you sure you want to face auntie Viv and uncle Peter now?” Keira asked, “I mean, what have they ever done for us? We owe them nothing.”

“No, we don’t, but I owe it to talk to Dan’s mother. Paula is going to be very upset.” Blair was sad about losing Paula as a mother–in–law more than losing Dan as her partner. With that thought, she knew she truly hadn’t loved Dan, and he had just been easy to be with because she had thought she knew him. How wrong she had been. She had honestly thought he wouldn’t cheat on her.

Sutton gave a ladylike snort. “Knowing Dan, he has already run home and blamed you. Do you know who the other woman was?”

Blair didn’t want to answer that question, not yet, but she would not lie to her sisters, looking at the time on her phone. She brought the time to their attention. “Come on, we better get going. We have an hour’s drive and church starts at 9am sharp. Aunt Viv will be pissed if we are late.”
