❝ I weep and say goodnight, love ❞

I traced my hand over the canvas in amazement. The neutral colors blended perfectly. " How did you learn? " I asked, still captivated by its beauty. Roman sat staring at me, " My father taught me, he loved painting. " I picked up on the sadness in his voice.

I frowned sadly, standing in between his legs. " Can we go somewhere today? " I ran my fingers through his hair, he closed his eyes in bliss. " Where? "

" I don't know. " I shrugged, sucking in my bottom lip. His eyes darkened, " I know a place, barely anyone goes there. " He mumbled in a low voice. " So it's a date? " I asked with a hopeful look.

" Do you want it to be a date? " He stuffed his face in the crook of my neck. I hummed, wrapping my arms around his shoulders. " Then go get ready. "

I jumped out of his lap, making my way into my room. Excitement coursed throughout my body. It was a date! I wanted to jump around but avoided seeing that it might hurt my baby.

I flopped down on my bed, huffing out a sigh. It had been thirty minutes and I couldn't find a fucking outfit.

Most people say that girls take hours to get ready - no honey - I take hours to put together an outfit and thirty minutes to get ready.

I glared at the pale ceiling before getting up and continuing my search.

Luckily, I was able to find a white dress that was fitted on me, but not too tight to squeeze the bump. I knew Roman would demand me to change it, like hell I was going to listen to him. I slid it off before heading to take a bath.

After I was finished, I quickly got changed into the dress. My ass looked perfect in it. My hair was let loose in soft curls. I grabbed my purse and heels, trotting downstairs. Roman was waiting at the bottom fiddling with his shirt.

A blush took over my face. " Hello. " I greeted slipping on my heels. Roman's eyes scanned over my body. " As much as I love this dress and would gladly rip it off you, I don't want other men or women staring at what is mine. " See what I told you?

" Well, you look beautiful too. " I complimented. It must have been my eyes, but the lightest shade of pink brushed over his cheeks. He was wearing a white dress shirt with a few buttons undone and blue casual jeans. I licked my lips, hooking our arms together. " You look ravishing my love. " He said staring into my eyes. I blushed again, looking down. " These are for you. " I gladly accepted the flowers. I could tell he was new to this judging by his slightly stiff demeanor.

After our staring competition, we left for the restaurant. The ride consisted of Roman and I singing along to songs. I finally opened up about my love for oldies music and my fantasy of listening to them while dancing with a lover. What I did not expect Roman to do was promise to fulfill that wish. It almost brought me to tears. Almost.

Soon after, we arrived at the restaurant. True to his words, barely anyone was here. Roman opened my door, taking my hand. We walked in a comfortable silence to the restaurant. It was small and had a homey vibe to it.

There were thin white chairs with small circular tables and a candle decorating them. A small bridge to get to the other side where a bench along with a cleared area. Cute lily pads floated in the pond.

It all felt like a fairytale.

Being the gentleman he is, Roman pulled out my chair with a graceful smile. After we got seated and ordered our food, he began. " Tell me, love, what is your dream job? " Roman asked with a curious look. I leaned back on my chair, folding my legs. " Well, I wanted to be a doctor. " I said with a grin. " Why? "

" Mostly because I like helping people... But I also like injecting them. " Roman burst into fits of laughter. " You're something else. " I blushed looking down. The dress had slightly rolled up. I squirmed in my seat, pulling it back down.

" H-have you ever had a girlfriend? " Really Athena, out of all the questions - this one?! But I couldn't help it. Roman chuckled. " I've never had a girlfriend, honestly I don't see the need for one. " A pang of hurt hit me. I should've known.

" Oh. "

I awkwardly sipped on my glass of water that the waiter recently poured. " You actually thought you were my girlfriend? " He asked with a mischievous glint in his eyes. I swallowed, anger bubbling within.

" Athena... you are way more than that. Call yourself my wife if you must. " He said, emphasizing every word. I immediately blushed, all the anger dissipating into thin air. I didn't argue, although he didn't propose and we didn't have an expensive wedding.

You actually thought I was one of those main characters who wanted a small wedding, I should laugh in your face. I want a large, expensive wedding. I want to go all out. But mostly, I want to be happy on that particular day.

" I don't see a fat ring on my finger. " I rolled my eyes. Some may think I'm a gold digger, please- I have enough money to buy myself a planet.

I don't actually have it - you know what I mean!

Roman threw his head back, roaring with laughter. It was nice.

" I will surely get that fat ring for you, love. " He winked, I huffed playfully. Soon after, the waiter arrived with our food. Roman placed my order earlier on so I had no idea what it was.

I stared blankly at the food. Roman had a nervous look on his face that had me holding in my laugh.

Did I just make the Russian mafia leader nervous? Oh, I certainly did. The power I hold.
