After dinner with Mark and Kathan, Roman had booked a carriage ride through the town. It was the first thing they had done when Nala finally moved to New York. They did it whenever Serena and Dean watched the kids for them.
"So, how's Mandy doing?", Nala asked.
Roman groaned.
"Why did you have to bring her up now? This is our thing and you bring her into it", Roman said.
He looked at her.
"She doesn't work for us anymore", Roman answered.
"And that saddens you?", Nala asked.
"We were having such a good time and I don't know where your jealousy is coming from", he said.
"I saw the texts she sent you", Nala said.
Roman sighed.
"But I told her it was out of line, because it was. I would never cheat on you. She sent them to Dean too", he said.
"I know and Serena handled that. She answered the phone when Mandy called", Nala said.
"I blocked her from my phone", he said.
"I saw that too", she said.
"So then why are you mad?", he asked.
"I'm not mad really, just, why didn't you tell me?", she asked.
"Because I took care of it. I talked to Robert as well about her behavior and he is going to talk to her before settling her into an office again", Roman said.
He wrapped his arm around her. She leaned into him.
"I love you, Nala", he whispered in her ear.
She turned to look at him, their lips crashing.
"Love you too", she replied.
The carriage stopped in front of a theater. Nala was confused. Roman got off and held his hand out to her. She took it and got off.
"What's going on?", she asked.
"I also booked us a private screen to enjoy that movie you wanted to see. No one around to bother us", he said.
"Rome", she said.
"We hardly get to do things like this. Let me spoil you", he said.
They walked in and he went to the manager. He nodded and took them to their private screening. They took the seats in the middle.
"Want popcorn or something to drink? I think they serve wine here", he said.
"Trying to get me drunk so I would sleep with you?", she asked.
He laughed and wiggled his brow.
"You figured out my evil plan", he said smirking.
"Popcorn please and I'll take that glass of wine", she said.
He nodded and went to get that. Coming back with a bucket of popcorn, candy, and wine. They lifted their feet on the back of another seat and cuddled. Feeding each other candy and popcorn as they enjoyed the movie.
Once it was over, Nala leaned over to him and kissed him.
"Thank you, this was wonderful", she said.
"Anytime", he said, pecking her lips.
They stood and made their way out.
"Have a good night", the manager called.
They waved to him before getting back inside the carriage. They went once more around and then back to their car. She took his hand as he drove.
"Anywhere private where we can have a moment alone?", she asked.
He raised a brow.
"Now who wants to take advantage of who", Roman said.
"Its been awhile since we've done it in a car", she whispered, leaning over to him and kissing his cheek.
"Woman, I'm driving", he said, shifting in his seat.
She giggled before sitting back in her seat.
"Fine, I guess I can wait till we get home, but I might not be into it by the time we get there", she sighed.
Roman laughed.
"I'll get you back in the mood when we get home", he said, reaching over and squeezing her thigh.
"So", Nala started.
He raised a brow again.
"Sabrina told me how her dad asked you if you wanted to go for the vice president seat in his company", Nala said.
"Its more like vice president of editing", Roman said.
"Why didn't you tell me?", she asked.
"I don't know if I'm going to take it", he said.
"Why?", she asked.
"Its more work hours babe, at least till I get well established in that position", he said.
"So? The kids and I will understand. Besides, I'm almost done with school, I can be home more with them.", she said.
"And what about what we talked about? You know, trying again?", he asked.
"Its not like you are going to miss the birth. You'll get a month off once the baby comes.", she said.
"You really want me to do this?", he asked.
"Do you?", she asked.
"It's a great opportunity and I really want to take it", he said smiling.
She smiled and touched his cheek gently.
"Then take it, Roman", she said.
He nodded. Getting home, they walked in. Seeing Kathan's purse on the counter and hearing loud moans coming from the guest bedroom.
"Remind me to get a cleaning crew to come in", Nala whispered.
Roman chuckled before locking up. He lifted his wife off of her feet.
"They have the right idea and I believe you offered me something special", Roman whispered.
"I don't remember that", she said.
He sat her on their bed and started stripping. She crossed her legs and watched him.
"Enjoying the show?", he asked.
"A little bit", she said.
He unbuckled his belt and removed his dress pants. She bit her lip. He moved over to her and laid her back. His hands going underneath her dress.
"Lets try tonight?", he asked.
She cupped his face and nodded. He smiled. They were in a really good place to bring in another child. Their twins were in school now and Roman was getting a promotion. She had one more year of school to finish.
The next morning, Nala texted Serena about the twins. Checking in on them.
"Still sleeping. Enjoy your morning", her friend had texted.
She grabbed Roman's shirt and put it on. Walking out to grab some juice. Her hair in a messy bun on top of her head. She almost ran into Kathan, who had the same idea about the juice.
"Oh hey, nice night you and Mark had", Nala said, winking at her best friend.
Kaye blushed.
"Yeah, I'm embarrassed to admit I kept him waiting a bit too long.", she said.
"Trust me, I know. If its not a crying baby pulling you away from finishing, it's a toddler walking in on you half way through", Nala said.
Kathan nodded.
"I checked on the kids. Serena said they were fine and to enjoy our morning", Nala said.
"Oh, I plan too", Kathan said, winking before walking back into the room she was sharing with Mark.
Nala laughed softly. As she was drinking her juice. Roman walked in shirtless.
"Good morning", he said, before kissing her.
He took her cup and set it down, before lifting her and setting her on the kitchen counter. He lifted the shirt a bit before lowering his sweats.
"Rome, what if Mark or Kathan walk in?", she asked as he entered her.
"Kathan just walked back into their room. I don't think they'll be coming out anytime soon", he panted.
"I love you", she whispered against his lips.
"I love you too, my wife", he replied.
A month later, Nala was checking to see if she was pregnant and nothing. She sighed. She and Roman had been trying whenever they could. Since the twins no longer walked into their room. She threw the test away and walked out.
"What's with the face?", Roman asked as he walked in from work.
He removed his jacket and tie.
"Took another test", she said sadly.
"I'm sorry. We'll keep trying Nala. Maybe try not to stress over it, ok. I mean, technically we weren't trying with the twins and we ended up with two babies", he said.
"Yeah. I'm also stressing with school", she sighed.
"Lets just relax and have fun", he said, wrapping his arms around her waist.
She nodded.
