Amaya watched from the dance floor as Valerie cuddled up to Roman. He paid her no mind, his eyes were on Amaya. Valerie kissed his cheek and he turned to look at her. He smiled before looking back at Amaya. She turned to look at the guy she was dancing with.

"Thanks for the dance, but I have to go", she said over the music.

She made her way through the crowd and to the table. Grabbing her purse.

"I'm leaving, I'm suddenly not feeling so good", Amaya said to Charlotte.

"Do you want me to come with?", Charlotte asked.

"No, I'll be okay", Amaya said.

She hugged the rest of the girls before looking at Roman and Valerie. She had to say bye to them too.

"It was nice meeting you again Valerie, bye Roman", Amaya said.

Valerie waved and Roman was going to stand.

"Should I go and walk her to her car?", Roman asked Valerie.

"Yeah, be a gentleman", Valerie said.

He nodded and quickly made his way to Amaya. He stopped her before she got to the doors. She rolled her eyes.

"Let me walk you", he said.

She nodded and he followed. His hands in his pockets. When they got to her car, he pressed her up against it.

"I don't appreciate you dancing with someone else. Especially like that", Roman said.

"You lied to me. You said Autumn was sick", Amaya said.

"I couldn't exactly tell you that I needed to stay with Valerie. She was starting to suspect", Roman said.

Amaya shook her head.

"I'm going to tell her, after the Rumble and Valentine's day. Just be patient", he said.

"Its not fair", she said softly.

Roman nodded.

"I know", he replied.

"Maybe we shouldn't do this anymore. At least till you're officially single.", she said shrugging.

"No, I need you", he said quickly.

"This is really hard Roman. We can't be seen together because she'll find out, along with the rest of the world. Maybe this is a good thing", she said.

"I love you and I can't just stop feeling that way.", he said.

"And you think I can?", she asked.

He placed his hands on her arms.

"Please just give me a few weeks", he said.

"Call me when you're single and then we'll talk", she said.

She kissed him before getting in her car and driving away. Roman stood there, he couldn't believe what just happened. He couldn't live without Amaya. He took a deep breath before walking back inside the club. He sat beside Valerie.

"Everything okay?", she asked.

"Yeah", he said.

She watched him carefully. He looked like someone just told him they ran over his dog. His fingers turned his cup of beer. If only he knew she followed him out and found him with Amaya. Their closeness was too intimate. Then she saw them kiss, that completely broke her heart.

"We need to go home", she said to him.

He looked at her and stood. They said bye to everyone and drove home in silence.

"Was everything okay with Amaya? She looked angry, disappointed", Valerie said.

"She's fine", he replied.

Valerie nodded. Looking at him, he looked lost. She was going to yell at him when they got home, but then he would run to her. That's the last thing she wanted. He hadn't left her yet, so maybe Amaya was just a road thing. She was engaged to him, not her. She had his child, not her.

"You know, I was thinking, how about a nice vacation? Just the two of us for Valentine's day", she suggested.

"Sorry, what?", he asked.

"I was saying how about we go on vacation for Valentine's day. A nice weekend trip", Valerie said.

Roman sighed.

"Sounds good", he replied softly.

Valerie nodded.

"How about Vegas? I want to see what Dean sees. You can take me to all the places he took you", Valerie said.

Roman nodded.

"Vegas sounds good", he said.

He was still planning that trip with Amaya, even though she just broke it off with him. He wasn't going to let her go that easily. Getting home, Valerie got in the shower. He pulled his phone out and called Amaya, but she didn't pick up.

"Baby, please don't do this. I love you and it's breaking me right now. Please call me", he said, leaving a message.

He sighed and set his phone down. Hearing the shower turn off, he changed for bed. Valerie came out naked and crawled over to him.

"I'm tired babe", he said, trying to stop her.

"Please, I need you", she whispered.

He hesitated before kissing her.


Amaya watched as he called for the third time tonight. Leaving a message each time. She called the airline and changed her flight for tomorrow morning. She couldn't stay here anymore, it would be too tempting to run back to him or for him to come looking for her.

She knew he would first thing in the morning.

"We have a cancellation for tonight's flight. Would you like that one?", the lady asked.

"That one will do", she said.

"Okay, you're all set miss", the woman said cheerfully.

"Thank you", she said.

Amaya packed her things, the flight was at eleven. There was a knock at her door, she went to answer it.

"Finally", she said.

She had ordered food. Opening the door, Roman stood there.

"Roman", she said.

He cupped her face and kissed her, walking them back into the room. He pulled her shorts down and then his. Lifting her and wrapping her legs around him.

"Roman", she whispered.

"Don't say anything, please", he whispered.

He pushed into her slowly.

Yes, he had just been with his wife, but it felt like he cheated on Amaya. He felt disgusted with himself and needed her. Being with Valerie wasn't the same as being with Amaya.

"I love you", he whispered against her lips.

He set her down and fixed his shorts. Placing a kiss to her forehead.

"I'll give you the space you asked for, but I don't know how long I'll be able to stay away.", he said.

"I love you too", she said softly.

He stepped away from her, even though it was killing him inside. He swallowed and walked out the door. Stopping at the store and picking up some ice cream. Once home, Valerie was in the kitchen wearing his shirt. It didn't help him any, he felt sick again. He wished it was Amaya he was going home too.

"Took you awhile", she said.

"Yeah, one store didn't have the flavor you wanted and so I had to go to another store", he said.

She nodded and he set the ice cream down.

"Want some?", she asked.

"No, I'm feeling a little sick", he said, before walking to their room.

She needed to talk to someone. She didn't know what to do now. If he was thinking about leaving her, he hasn't shown it.


Amaya called her sister, but Phil picked up.

"Hey Smalls, what's up?", he asked.

"I'm coming home in a little bit. Do you think you or April can pick me up?", she asked.

"I can do it.", he said.

"Thanks", she said softly.

She wiped the tears that had slipped.

"Smalls, are you okay?", he asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine", she said.

"I know you and April better than you think. I can tell when you both are angry, happy, and sad. Talk to me", he said.

She cried more and it tugged at Phil's heart.

"We can talk when you get here. Okay", he said.

"Okay", she said, before hanging up.

He knew it had to do with Roman. He couldn't tell April without giving her the reason for Amaya's heartache.
