A month had passed Lily and Roman continued to talk on the phone every day. They also Skyped. Lily was really excited. Tomorrow night Roman was coming to Lily apartment for the first time. She was going to make dinner. Lily was out to lunch with Missy.
"So how do you like following the pediatric-nurses around?"
"I love it." "It's great." "I love working with the kids." "Especially the babies."
"How's Roman doing?"
"Fine."
"I still can't believe you're dating Roman Reigns."
"I can't either." "It's great." "Except."
"What?"
"Just the long distance thing." "It sucks."
"I bet."
"I really like Roman though so I'm willing to make it work."
"Are you excited about him coming to your apartment?"
"Yeah." "I can't wait to see him."
"Can I borrow your chapstick?"
"Sure." She put her purse up on the table. "It should be right on the top." Missy found the chapstick and noticed something else. She picked it up.
"Lily what are these."
"My birth control pills."
"You didn't tell me you slept with him."
"I haven't yet."
"Yet?" Missy said smiling.
"I've thought about it."
"Have you told him yet?"
"No." "We haven't really been that intimate yet."
"Well you obviously want to."
"I'm taking the birth control pills as a precaution." "Just incase we decide to do something."
"Like tomorrow night?"
"No." Lily checked her watch. "I have to get to the hospital."
"Alright."
A few hours later Lily was getting ready to give the hospital. Then she heard a woman's voce over the PA system.
"Lily Garcia, report to the office of head nurse Peters."
Lily went to the office. The name plate on the door read. "Margaret Peters, Head Of Pediatrics" Lily knocked on the door.
"Come in." A woman's voice said from the other side of the table. She went in. "Miss Garcia." "Sit down." She sat down. "Miss Garcia do you enjoy it here?"
"Yes, very much."
"I've gotten reports from other nurses." "They say you're great with the patients." "You only have a month left until you get your degree right?"
"Yes."
"Next month one of my nurses is being transferred to another hospital." "That will leave an opening in the pediatric-unit." "The job is yours if you want it."
"I accept."
"Great." "When you get your degree come here and show me proof you received it." "Then we'll start the hiring process."
"Ok."
The next evening Lily was making dinner and waiting for Roman. There was a knock at the door. She answered it. Roman was standing there.
"Hi." She said.
"Hi."
"Come in." He went in. They kissed.
"How are you?"
"Great." "What about you?"
"Well now that I'm with you, I couldn't be better."
"I have good news." "I found out yesterday but I wanted to tell you in person." "You know the hospital I've been shadowing the nurses at?"
"Yeah."
"Well the head nurse of pediatrics called me into her office yesterday." "One of the nurses is being transferred next month and they asked me if I wanted to take her place." "It works out perfect because I get my degree next month."
"That's so great baby." "I'm happy for you."
"I hope your hungry."
"I'm starving."
"Good." "I made plenty."
After dinner they were sitting on the couch watch TV. Out of the corner of her eye Lily noticed Roman smile.
"What?" Lily asked.
"I'm just glad I'm here."
"I'm glad you're here to." They kissed. Slowly it became more passionate. He laid her back on the couch. They'd been making out for a few minutes. She felt his hand touch her bare stomach. She stopped him and broke the kiss.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry." "I've never…I'm a virgin."
"Oh I'm sorry." He got off her. "I feel like a jerk."
"No." She sat up. "It's ok." "You didn't know." "It's not that I don't want to." "I do." "I just don't feel we've been dating long enough yet." "I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize." "I can wait."
"I just want it to be special."
"Of course." "When you're finally comfortable, it will be special for both of us." "I want you to take all the time you need." "I'll be honored to be your first if and when you want me to be."
"Thank you for understanding Roman."
"I don't care about the sex." "I care about you." She hugged him.
"I know."
