"So, what did you want to talk about?", Lynn asked.
"Oh, um, just that I set up an appointment with that tattoo artist we saw", he said.
"Really? Great, I can't wait", Lynn replied.
He nodded. As much as he wanted to talk to Lynn about setting boundaries with Corey, he didn't want her to think he didn't trust her.
The next day, she and Roman went down to the tattoo shop. Both were in a bit of pain after, but were happy about what they got. Once home, everyone was in the living room watching movies.
"Hey, how did the tattoos turn out?", Liam asked.
"Great. Look", Lynn said, showing hers off to her brother and Seth.
A ruby red snow flake.
"What about you big man?", Dean asked, arm still wrapped around Peyton.
Roman was watching as Corey looked over Lynn's tattoo. His fingers touching Lynn gently.
"Rome?", Dean said, bringing him back.
He looked over at his friend.
"What?", he asked.
"Your tattoo, let us see", Dean said.
He nodded and showed his friend the matching tattoo.
"Awesome, just don't let your mom see. She will kill you", Dean chuckled.
"That's why I got it where she won't see it. Only my woman", Roman winked.
He heard giggling and looked over towards Lynn. Corey was tickling her. He growled.
"Breathe, Roman", Peyton whispered.
"I'll be in my room if she decides to look for me", Roman mumbled before leaving the living room.
Lynn had seen Roman heading towards their room, deciding that he was probably going to take a nap. She had noticed how tired he was. Sitting with Corey and Mella to watch another movie.
"Where did your man go?", Corey whispered.
"To take a nap I think. Its been awhile since he's had a chance too. Since getting back to the castle, he's been go none stop.", she replied.
Corey nodded. Lynn laid her head on his shoulder and yawned.
Roman came down a few minutes later. He had hoped Lynn would have followed so he could have more alone time with her. Being back home had limited his time with her.
He stopped when he spotted her on Corey. Clenching his hands into fists, he marched over to the TV and blocked it.
"Hey, come on, this is the good part", Corey said.
"What the fuck is going on here?", Roman asked, pointing between Lynn and Corey.
"What do you mean?", Lynn asked.
"Calm down, she was just resting her head. It happened all the time before you.", Corey said.
Carmella slapped his arm.
"What?", he asked confused.
"Babe…", Roman stopped Lynn.
He walked past them and outside, slamming the door.
"What's his problem?", Corey said.
"Well let's see. His girlfriend's head was laying on another man.", Peyton said.
"So? Mella doesn't care", he replied.
"Yes, but I know your relationship with her. He doesn't. How would you like it if you found me laying on another man?", Mella asked.
"Who is he?", Corey asked, pissed.
"See, it's the same thing with Roman.", Peyton added.
"Would you be okay with another woman laying on Roman?", Carmella asked Lynn.
"No", Lynn replied.
Lynn stood and went to find him. He was at the edge of the water. Waves washing over his feet. She wrapped her arms around his waist.
"He's like a brother to me", she said.
"Would you be okay if I said the same thing about Sasha?", he asked.
"Whoa, big difference", she said, releasing him.
"I don't like it. As a future Queen, its not appropriate. If others saw that…", he stopped.
She nodded.
"I know, but you're right too. If a woman was laying on you, I would explode", she said.
"That's what I've been wanting to talk to you about. I don't like the way he touches you. Its disrespectful to me and his own girlfriend.", he said.
Lynn nodded.
"You didn't come upstairs with me. I was waiting for you", he said.
"I thought you went up to take a nap. I didn't want to bother you. You hardly have a moment to rest back at the castle", she replied.
"You can bother me anytime.", he smiled.
She leaned up and kissed him. He moaned.
"I so want to take you right here, right now", he whispered.
She blushed.
"Why don't you?", she asked.
He smirked before looking around and laying her down.
Liam was looking at transfers closer to Ruby region. Seeing if he could finish his time in the Navy closer to Seth.
"Hey", Seth said, coming out of the bathroom, drying his hair.
Liam quickly shut his laptop. He didn't want Seth to know. It was a surprise for his boyfriend.
"Yeah?", Liam asked.
"You better get showered and dressed, I told you I had a surprise for you", Seth said.
"Sorry babe, I'm going", he replied.
Liam kissed his cheek before running into the bathroom. Seth went over to the laptop to see what his boyfriend had been doing. The screen came up blank, and his history automatically erases his search.
Seth sighed and shook his head.
"Don't be that boyfriend, Seth. He's not cheating.", Seth mumbled to himself.
Dean and Peyton had retreated to the bathtub to have some alone time. Peyton rubbed his shoulders as his head rolled.
"That feels so good", he sighed.
"So much tension and worry built up on your shoulders", she mumbled.
They both knew why, and didn't have to point it out.
"Can we stay here forever?", he asked.
Peyton giggled.
"I wish.", she replied.
Seth had blindfolded Liam once they were in the car.
"Seriously, where are you taking me?", Liam asked, a smile on his face.
"It's a surprise, don't ruin it", he replied.
It didn't take long for them to get there.
"Okay, don't take off the blindfold, I'm coming around to your side.", Seth said.
Liam nodded and heard as Seth's door shut. After a few seconds, his door opened. He felt Seth's hand in his.
"You trust me, right?", Seth asked.
"Of course I do babe", he replied.
He could hear the waves crashing and smell of the ocean.
"A little bit more", Seth let him know.
Liam chuckled. It felt like they were on a pier.
"Can I look now?", Liam asked.
"No, almost there", Seth said.
After a few more steps, they stopped.
"Okay hun, now you can look", Seth said.
Liam removed his blindfold and smiled. He couldn't believe his boyfriend had gone through all the trouble of setting up a romantic date. A table with candles sat in the middle of the pier. The moon reflected off the ocean, making it almost look green.
"Wow", Liam said.
"Now, I know its not all that, but I've never actually planned a date like this before.", Seth said.
Liam smiled and kissed Seth.
"Its perfect. I love this baby", Liam said.
Seth blushed.
"I also realized we never actually have gone on a date. So, this is hopefully one of many", Seth said.
Liam nodded.
"It is", he replied.
As the group arrived back at the castle. Everyone was exhausted. Thankfully they were all allowed an extra day to catch up on sleep. Lynn was with Corey, Mella, and Liam saying goodnight. As she walked out, she ran into her future sister in law.
"Heard you had a good trip", Vanessa said, crossing her arms over her chest.
Lynn smirked.
"We did. Oh, but you wouldn't know that since you didn't get to go", Lynn replied.
"Hey, Lynn, you forgot your phone", Corey said, coming out of his guest house.
Vanessa looked between them and smirked.
"Kind of late for you to be coming out of another man's place. Don't you think? Does my brother know?", Vanessa asked.
Lynn rolled her eyes.
"He's like a brother to me, and Roman knows that", Lynn replied.
"Sure. Don't worry, I guess I can keep your little secret", Vanessa said, before winking and walking away.
"Yeah, you're right. She is a bitch", Corey said, loud enough for Vanessa to hear.
The next morning, Roman had gotten called in early to the office. Something about a family meeting. Lynn wondered if it had anything to do with Vanessa.
She grabbed her laptop and tried to take her mind off things by finishing her book. She tried to type, but all she can think about is what was being said in that family meeting.
The door to their house opened and she stood.
"Everything okay?", Lynn asked.
"Apparently you are having an affair with Corey", he replied.
