Chapter Five

Roman

They went to the party and he couldn’t believe everything that Cecilly and her family accomplished.

Their backyard was decorated with streamers and balloons.

There were lights strung all over and chairs situated everywhere.

Cecilly’s dad, Clark was in charge of the grill and as he cooked burgers and hot dogs, people would come up and chat with him.

There was food everywhere and Cecilly led Roman around the backyard, introducing him to people and talking.

He watched her flit from person to person and loved it.

She was light. Just like he said. Each person Cecilly talked to smiled so big at her and she made each person laugh.

He loved her. No doubt about it. Was so in love with her it hurt.

And he wanted to kick himself for not doing anything about it sooner.

He pulled her away and made her eat a plate of food and got her a bottle of water.

Which she drank. Gratefully. He knew from what Rhees told him that Cecilly often didn’t eat lunch and would forget to drink water too.

She just got busy and Roman wanted to take care of that.

He made sure she ate everything on her plate and then left her side so he could put both of their plates in the garbage.

As he did, Cecilly’s older brothers came up on either side of him, boxing him in.

He gave them a nod and went to take a step away, not at all comfortable with them being this close to them.

The oldest, he knew, was named Landon. He was the same age as himself, but he had never spoken to either of her brothers.

“So, you are Roman Galloway I assume.”

Roman nodded, “I am.”

Landon held out his hand, which Roman took and they shook.

“I’m Landon, this is Luke. We just wanted to see what your intentions were with our little sister.”

Roman’s eyebrows raised. “I love your sister. And while that seems strange since we only started dating yesterday, it isn’t to me. I have been in love with her for years, but I am quiet, and introverted and not like her at all. This is uncomfortable to me, being around you and this many people. But I will do it for her. I just needed to finally get my head out of my ass and ask her out.”

Landon nodded, “I have heard you are a homebody.”

Roman gave a slight chuckle. “That is an understatement. I need to get out more, and my mother has bugged me for years to start dating. I am different. I have quirks and faults that I didn’t think a woman like Cecilly would want. But she knows what she wants. Faults, quirks and all. And for some reason, it’s me. And I am the luckiest bastard that ever lived that she picked me. Wants me like I have wanted her. I have kept tabs on her and had my brother keep tabs on her over the years because I just wanted to know her. Know everything about her. I did it in my own way.
