Between Them -Peter Rumancek & Roman Godfrey

Chapter 12





I was just fixing my hair, the next morning as I waited for Roman to pick me up so we could go pick out flowers.

"Morning." Peter leaned down kissing my cheek.

"Morning. Why aren't you at school?" I asked.

"Not feeling it today... are you busy tonight?" Peter asked.

"Nope, don't think so."

"Good. Don't make any, cause I'm taking you to dinner."

I turned to him.

"Dinner?" I asked.

"Yeah, we haven't hung out, just us for a while so I thought tonight would be perfect." I smiled.

I got up going over to him, sitting myself in his lap.

My hand ran through his long locks.

"I know. And I'm sorry, wedding preparations are hectic with it being so close. Olivia's breathing down my neck. I haven't had time with you." I sighed.

"It's okay. The fact that you're doing this for my family, is enough for me." He smiled.

"They've taken care of me for the last 11 years, it's the latest I can do." I said as I heard a honk.

"Roman's here." I said standing up.

"See you tonight." I gave him a peck.

"I love you." Peter said as I opened the door.

"I love you too." I blew him a kiss before heading out.

I hopped into Roman's SUV, smiling at him as he leaned in for a kiss.

"Good morning." He said as he pulled away.

"Morning." I said putting on my seat belt before Roman drove off.

I lead Roman through the flower shop as we looked at flowers.

"See anything you like?" I asked.

"Not really, this isn't my thing." I chuckled.

"How about a pink and white wedding? You would look handsome in a pink tie." Roman smiled.

"Whatever you would like. I just want to marry you." He leaned down kissing my cheek.

I sighed and sat on the bench inside the store.

"What's wrong?"

"It's Peter."

"What about him?" Roman sat beside me.

"Ever since we were kids, we'd talk about our wedding, and how we would be together forever." I sighed.

"Don't get me wrong, I want to marry you, I do. And I love you. But I also love him and I want to marry him... I just..." I couldn't keep it in anymore as I let out a sob.

So many emotions were running through my head, I was happy, sad, and confused, all in one.

"Hey. Hey." Roman kneeled in front of me.

"Stop crying please." He said softly not wanting anyone to hear he had feelings.

I sniffed.

"How about you marry the both of us." I wiped my eyes.

"What?"

"Marry the both of us. Will have one of those weird marriages were there's the three of us." He said.
