As they went shopping through the mall. Corey just wouldn't drop the conversation from earlier.
"Seriously Lynn, have you even finished your book yet? I'm willing to bet not even close", Corey said.
"I've had writers block. Which has nothing to do with Roman or Ruby region", she said.
He chuckled.
"Sure. Tell it to someone who believes you and doesn't know you", he replied.
"So yeah, I've also been busy learning all this royal stuff, but I like it Corey. Its not like I thought it would be", she said.
"They've brainwashed you. Where has my best friend gone", he said.
She shook her head at him.
"I will finish my book", she added.
After a few more stores, Seth approached her and made it seem like he was looking through the racks as well.
"Do you feel like that? Like we brainwashed you or something? I mean, if you asked Roman for a few days, he will give it. You know, so you could finish your book", Seth said.
Seth didn't want Lynn to feel like she had to always do what they told her to do, or to feel like it was all about Roman all the time.
"Of course not. I like it here Seth, truly. I mean yeah, royal duties have gotten in the way of me writing my book, but its almost done and I really do have writers block.", she replied.
"You should ask Roman to give you a few days. The Queen does it all the time", Seth said.
"I will, thanks Seth", she smiled.
"What are best friends for", he replied.
They got home to find Roman in the living room with Sasha and his sister. Lynn raised a brow as Sasha was too close to him for her liking. He smirked when he saw the look on her face. He decided on meeting her half way.
"Hi my love, how was your shopping trip?", he asked, leaning down to kiss her.
She held his head in place as they kissed, deepening it and moaning for Sasha to hear. Corey smirked and Seth cleared his throat before looking away, as did Liam. Who felt uncomfortable watching his little sister make out.
Dean chuckled. When she pulled away she looked at Vanessa and Sasha.
"Oh hi ladies, I didn't see you there", she said.
Roman leaned into her ear.
"You can't kiss me like that and think this is over. You are mine when we get home", he whispered, nipping her neck before clearing his throat and looking at his sister and Sasha.
"So, I hope we cleared things up Vanessa because we have to go.", Roman said.
"Not by a long shot", she replied.
Roman wrapped his arm around Lynn and pulled her away with him.
"What was that about?", Lynn asked.
"Just my sister trying to convince me to give up the crown.", he whispered.
"Oh, how? Money?", Lynn chuckled.
Roman didn't laugh and she knew it had to be something important.
"Rome, what did she say?", she asked.
They stopped in the garden and he looked at his guards.
"Give us a minute alone", he said.
Corey chuckled.
"I'm not your guard, you can't…", Lynn cut him off.
"Corey", she said.
"Fine", he said, walking away.
Roman took her hand as they sat on a bench.
"Ro, what did she use to try to convince you?", she asked.
"You", he replied.
"Me? How?", she asked.
"She said you weren't happy here. That I've made this all about me and that if I want to make you truly happy, I should give up the crown and stay with you on Earth 1", he said.
"She said that?", she asked.
He nodded.
"And I would, Lynn. I would give it up for you. Just say the word, my love.", he said.
She stood, and shook her head no.
"I would never ask you to do that. Your sister is fucking crazy and lying. I am happy here and being with you.", Lynn replied.
He smiled.
"Be honest with me, Lynn", he said softly.
"I am. What, you don't believe me now? And why the fuck was Sasha there for this conversation? What, did she offer up her services when you got rid of me?", Lynn said, pissed.
"She walked in while we were in the middle of it. Babe, I believe you, of course I do", he replied.
He stood.
"And I said hell no to Sasha.", he added.
He gently lifted her chin.
"I've got my Queen", he said.
Seth noticed Liam and Dean talking. He stepped over to Corey.
"You need to stop", he said.
Corey raised a brow and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Stop what?", he asked.
"Telling Lynn to leave Roman. They are both happy and Lynn wants this life. So back off", Seth said, his eyes still on Liam.
"I never told her to leave him, you are putting words into my mouth. What I said was that she shouldn't have to change for him", he replied.
"She hasn't changed. She's just learned more, nothing wrong with that", Seth said.
Corey chuckled.
"Now, my brother over there, if I told him you weren't good for him, he would leave you in a blink of an eye", he said.
Seth looked at him.
"Calm down, I won't. I see how happy my friend is. He hasn't been that happy in a long time. The point is, I could suggest it", Corey said.
Seth was going to reply, but Dean and Liam joined them.
"What's the conversation?", Dean asked, when he noticed the way Seth was looking at Corey.
"Just telling him how much Lynn and Liam trust me. Hey, remember that chick that cheated on you, and I told you that you should have listened to me and broke it off with her", Corey said to Liam.
Liam nodded.
"Yeah man, and I told you to warn me next time and I'll listen. No questions asked", Liam laughed.
Seth's heart almost dropped. Corey winked at him.
Carmella arrived next, she had to finish up some work before she could join them. She was now out back enjoying the garden with Lynn.
"Its so beautiful here.", Carmella said.
"Tell me about it. I never want to go back home again", Lynn giggled.
"Has Corey been behaving?", Mella asked.
"Well…", Lynn said.
"Oh no, what did he say or do?", she asked.
Lynn told her what he said to her and then what he said to Seth. She had noticed the long face and asked him what was up. She couldn't believe Corey said that to him.
"I am going to kill him", Mella said.
Lynn giggled.
"Liam is finally coming out of his shell and Corey is about to ruin it. Absolutely not", Mella said.
"Same thing I told him. He promised to keep his trap shut. Especially since Liam is so happy.", Lynn said.
"And you?", Carmella asked with a smile.
Lynn smiled bigger and blushed.
"He is the love of my life. I honestly fall in love with him every time I wake up beside him. Hell, every time he freaking smiles", Lynn gushed.
Carmella giggled.
"Girl you've got it bad", she said.
Lynn sighed happily.
"So bad", she agreed.
"Hey, talking about us?", Corey asked.
"Yes, and she already filled me in. You are in so much trouble Graves", Carmella said.
Liam and Lynn laughed.
"I thought I smelled hot trash", everyone rolled their eyes and tried to ignore her.
Sasha went to walk past Lynn, bumping her hard. Before they knew it, Lynn was on Sasha. Corey grabbed Sasha and Liam grabbed Lynn. Trying to pull them apart. Both women were screaming and pulling hair.
Roman was talking to his parents about possibly proposing to Lynn sooner than planned. He honestly couldn't see his life without her.
"You have our blessing son", his dad said.
Roman was going to reply, but Vanessa interrupted.
"Lynn just attacked Sasha. They are trying to pull her off. Come quick", she said.
"What?", Roman replied, before running out the door.
He made it downstairs, hearing the screaming women. Walking out back, he saw Liam and Corey trying to separate the women. His parents came next.
"Enough", his dad shouted.
Making everyone jump and pull away from each other. Lynn and Sasha fixed their clothes.
"Inside my office, all of you. Now", he yelled, before walking back inside.
Lynn bit her lip.
"Come on ladies", Patricia said.
"You are in so much trouble", Mella whispered to Lynn.
Lynn groaned. This wasn't something she wanted his parents to see. What if they didn't believe her? What if they took Sasha's side? They knew her longer than they knew Lynn.
Roman was probably pissed at her. She promised she wouldn't lose control.
Sasha walked into the castle like she knew she wasn't getting into trouble. Lynn even believed it.
