Colby looked at Dean, his eyes silently pleading for him not to tell him.

"He has to tell Leighla when he's coming to get his stuff," Dean answered. Colby's secret wasn't his to tell and he was so close to getting having Alexa back he thought that adding another guy to the equation would complicate things further.

"You're not going to get back with her?" Alexa sighed.

Colby shook his head as Alexa stepped off the bottom step and stood in front of him, "I can't Alexa, she won't take me back and this whole thing really gave me a chance to reevaluate our relationship."

Alexa sighed, "I go out there in three days, if she is still as bad as she was two days ago I'm coming back and beating your ass." Alexa walked in the direction of her kitchen, "And Zahra's phone number better be deleted out of your phone."

Colby looked at Dean and silently thanked him for not saying anything before the two followed her into the kitchen.

"So are you two okay now?"

"We haven't really talked," Dean answered as he and Colby sat on stools next to each other as Alexa started making something for breakfast.

"Well you have a perfect time right now," she said.

"I think Roman should be here for this conversation," Colby said.

Alexa stopped cooking and looked over at Colby, "Not right now Colby, please."

"He's coming to dinner tonight," Dean said. "Either you can talk to him over breakfast with us or you can talk to him at dinner with mom and Ray there. You can't avoid him forever."

Alexa sighed, "Call him then," she said before continuing to cook breakfast.

Alexa was putting the last plate of food on the bar when she heard the knock on the door, she looked over at Colby, "Can you get it please?" She had changed from her t-shirt and shorts to a pair of light blue skinny jeans, a long pink and white striped shirt, and a pair of pink flats. "Can you get the plates down for me please?"

Dean smiled, "You still didn't get yourself a step stool?"

Alexa laughed, "There's usually someone here to get things down for me."

"At least now I know what to get you for your birthday," he joked as he set the four plates in the spots where they would be sitting.

"Will you sit next to me?" Alexa quietly asked before Colby and Roman walked into the kitchen.

Dean shook his head, surprised that she didn't want Colby next to her for this. He sat down in the seat next to Alexa, Colby was across from her and Roman was across from him.

"Let's eat," Colby said as he took a pancake off the plate.

Alexa watched the guys eat, she had put food on her plate but she was too nervous to eat so she spent most of the time pushing the food around.

"So I'm assuming you're not going to eat properly until we all talk?" Dean asked as he looked over at Alexa.

Alexa sighed, "I'm sorry, there's just so much going through my head. Can we just start this now?"

Colby nodded his head, "I'll go first." He pushed his plate to the side and rested his arms on the bar in front of him. "I'm really sorry that I had to hide the split from you guys. I had the meeting with Steph and she was very adamant on you guys having a natural reaction. I told her I could tell you guys that it's happening just not when and she wasn't having it. She didn't want you guys to know at all. You guys are like brothers to me and it was so hard not being able to tell you this secret and I had to tell someone. Alexa's my best friend so she's the one I told," he said. "I know you're not mad at me but I'm sorry for putting you in the position I did," he said to Alexa.

"I'm okay with it all," Dean said. "I was angry at first but I see why you did what you did. If boss lady told me not to tell anyone I would have done the same thing. We're good for now," Dean said.

The three of them looked over at Roman waiting for his response. "I see why you did what you did, my issue was that you brought Alexa into it and asked her to keep a secret. I get that she's your friend but why couldn't we all find out at the same time?"

"I didn't want her to be mad at me," Colby answered. "I betrayed her fiancé and a member of her family and couldn't even tell her it was coming? That would have ended 10 times worse than it did."

Roman took a deep breath, he was beginning to see things from Colby's perspective and it was making him feel even worse for the way he acted, "I'm good with it now. I'm sorry for freaking out the way I did. I probably could have handled it a lot better than I did."

"Now that leads us to the two of you," Dean said as he looked back and forth between Alexa and Roman. "You guys can't ignore each other and be mad at each other forever."

"I'm not mad at her anymore," Roman said.

"I am," Alexa bit back. "I'm just supposed to forgive you for shutting me out because of a secret that wasn't mine to tell?"

"No, but not talking isn't going to make things better either," Roman said.

Alexa rolled her eyes and shrugged, "I don't even know what to say."

"Then listen," Roman said, when he didn't get any words from Alexa he continued to talk, "I love you. That's not going to stop. I'm sorry for shutting you out, I wanted to call you everyday but I was so mad that you kept something like that from me and I just couldn't get over it. It was stupid of me to do it and I'm sorry."

Alexa felt the tears threatening to fall and she knew if she didn't get out of there fast she was going to break down in front of the three men, she quickly pushed her chair back and left the kitchen.

"Let her go," Colby said as Roman and Dean both stood up to go after her. "She's gotta cry it out, she'll be back."

Alexa got up to her room and shut the door before grabbing her phone and laying down on her bed, she pressed a few buttons and waited for the person to answer.

"Hey girl, things getting better?"

Alexa shook her head as she said, "Roman apologized."

"That's a good thing, why are you crying?"

"Paige, what if I go back to him and he acts all different? I like the way things were, I don't want him to constantly be thinking I'm lying or holding things from him."

"Did you tell him that?"

"No, I just got up and walked away and called you," she answered. "And I kind of made out with Dean last night."

"You did what? How did that happen? Why?"

"I was drunk, he was being so sweet," Alexa answered. "He's changed a lot."

Paige sighed, "I can tell, he hasn't been taking girls home at the club. He just goes to drink and hang out."

Alexa sighed, "I don't know what to do."

"Well first of all you need to figure out your feelings for the two of them before you make any decision about getting back together either one of them. But for now you need to forgive Roman, I'm not saying let him back in. Just say that you forgive him, shutting you out was wrong but you hiding something from him was also a shock. Flip the tables and you'd feel the same way," Paige said.

"You're right," Alexa said. "Let me go and do this forgivness thing."

"Before you go do that, are you going to Leighla's with all of us next week to help her pack?'

"Yeah, that's going to be so weird for me," Alexa said.

"I do no envy your life," Paige laughed.

"Not funny bitch," Alexa smiled. "I'll call you later."

"Good luck love," she said before the two of them hung up.

Alexa stood up and took a deep breath before she pulled her bedroom door open and made her way downstairs, she quietly made her way back into the kitchen where the boys were talking about plans for the upcoming week at work.

"I'm sorry for running out like that," Alexa said as she stood at the end of the island/bar inbetween Dean and Roman. "I'm sorry that I had to hide that from you, it wasn't as easy as you thought it was and I forgive you for ignoring me," she said as she looked at Roman. "Now, that being said there is something I think you should know about Dean and I," she said as she glanced at Dean. He didn't seem nervous about what she was about to say at all so she continued, "He and I kissed last night in my bed," Alexa said Roman's facial features change and the look in his eyes was murderous. "Before you go making a mess of my kitchen by attacking Dean let me first say that he stopped it. He stopped it because he knows that as angry and hurt I am I still love you," Alexa let out a silent breath of release as she watched some tension leave Roman's body. "I need time," she said. "It's been a crazy few weeks and I need to process it all. I really don't want any tension between the four of us, can we just be normal for a little while?"

"Are you going to burn my things with Leighla next week?" Colby joked, trying to release some of the tension.

"I should," Alexa fired back before turning her attention back to her two exes. "Are we good?"

Dean nodded, "I'm good."

"Are we going to work on us?" Roman asked.

"Eventually," she nodded. "I promise we will get to us."
