The next day went by quickly as Trinity decided to spend the day with Roman, she didn't want to admit it to herself but she enjoyed his company a lot more than she thought he would. He was so laid back and easy to talk to. The evening came quickly and Dolph text her several times wanting to know what she was doing and to "not spend her Saturday hanging with Roman and come home to him." Trinity knew he was being very overdramatic but the guilt that was eating at her.

"I got to go home Roman, Dolph is being very extra right now and wants to hang out."

Roman was in the kitchen making dinner for them as he turned around from stirring his homemade pasta sauce on the stove. "Do you want me to come with you?"

"I wouldn't mind it. Lanay is at work or that's what she said at least." Trinity rolled her eyes thinking on the short conversation she had with Lanay and Dean still hasn't came back which may not mean anything but she didn't put anything else past the two. "I'll text him and make sure he doesn't mind."

Trinity went to get her phone as Roman continued cooking; instead of texting she called him.

"Hey Dolphin."

"Ti, I need you to come home, like now."

Trinity started throwing her items in the bag. "What's up? Are you okay?"

"No… I am feeling really down and I need you here."

"Nick, what's wrong?" Trinity was expecting the worst as she ran around Roman's apartment putting her shoes on. "I'll be there shortly."

"Good. Good… my hair is a mess."

Trinity stopped in her tracks. "Wait, what?"

"I need my hair to be braided."

"Are you fucking kidding me? I thought something was wrong with you."

"This is serious. I need my hair to be braided."

"Nick, I thought something was wrong. Roman is looking at me crazy cause I'm running around grabbing stuff."

"When will you be here? I'm making dinner.

"Ro, is making dinner Dolphin, is it okay if he swings by?"

"Do you know how hard it is to be mainly while getting your hair braided? You're going to make me sit in the chair aren't you now if I allow company?"

"Have I ever? It's my place too but I'm being courteous. Roman can come over butt ass naked if I want him to actually Dolph, holding spaghetti. I pay rent there too."

"Yeah but is his breadstick long enough compared to mine."

"Longer and thicker Dolph, longer and thicker."

Trinity knew he was rolling his eyes on the other end. "We'll be by later and I'll take care of your hair for you. Whatever you were going to attempt to cook just put it away."

"Lanay is going to Dominique's house later."

"Really?"

"Yeah. So it'll just be us three, a nice threesome, maybe we can Eiffel tower you later or something."

"Quit being gross. I hope you don't talk like this when you start the new internship. I don't think people would appreciate that."

"You love it. What would you do without me?"

"I think that's the other way around. Who called someone else feigning an emergency that ended up being you needed your hair braided?"

"I like it when it's crimply once I take it down."

"Crimply is not a word Dolph, please don't talk like that when you start the internship. Bye Pre-Madonna." Trinity hung up the phone laughing walking into the kitchen to wrap her arms around Roman who was chopping green peppers as he acted like he didn't hear the conversation. The natural way they talk and how free her laughter was with him.

"It's just going to be us three. Lanay is doing whatever, it better not bringing her ass over here."

Roman reached back with his free hand rubbing her arms as he turned out to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. "That's fine. I'll just finish cooking and we can take some over there. I have to leave some food for the fellas, can't have them starving."

"Maybe Dean." Trinity interjected.

"Not even Dean; he's still my boy regardless of his actions that I don't agree with it."

"You're too damn nice."

"I've been told that several times."

Trinity stood on her toes to kiss his beard. "Don't shave this, nothing sexier than your beard."

"Nothing sexier? You sure about that?"

"Fine, more things sexier or the same."

"That sounds better. Let me finish cleaning and we'll head over to your house."

"I'll help." Trinity let him go as she went to the sink to wash her hands. "Thanks for doing this by the way."

"Hey, as long as I get my hair braided too." Roman winked.

"You'll be so pretty with braids, why is this sounding like a slumber party with an adult meal of pasta?"

Roman laughed at Trinity as she started placing the noodles into the boiling water. "Should I bring my PJ's?"

"I think you have a few things at my place." Trinity stopped what she was doing as she said the last sentence outloud. Roman caught on to her silence as he looked over at her.

"I can take it home."

"No, no. It's just…Your stuff is at my house." Trinity chuckled nervously.

"It's not like I asked you to marry me."

"Ro', I'm good. It just means I trust you more than I thought or let on. It's a good thing, seriously."

"I'm sliding my way in there, huh?"

"You're so dirty. I have the dirtiest guys surrounding me." Trinity laughed.

"You love it."

"Dolph by default, you… we'll see." Trinity winked at him as they continued cooking together joking.
