I sigh happily, as Roman's lips place kisses all over me and his hands do the same. We were still in bed after spending the early morning making love and I laugh at something he says in my ear, feeling him smile against my neck. We had been back in New York for the last two weeks, while making time to go to Florida, getting things ready for our move. It's nearing the ending of August and we'll should be finally moving at the ending of the month. The two of us have been so busy the last two weeks as well, separately. Roman was able to find a place to operate his business in Florida and was getting everything ready, from interviewing people to fill positions, which knowing him, he wants the best of the best working with him. He's also been getting everything set up, to his liking when it comes to the designs and layout to the place he was able to get, all while trying to get someone to take the reigns in the New York office for when he leaves, while leaving everything ready, tying up whatever he needs to. Though will remain the owner of his company as well as CEO, making major decisions and still playing a heavy hand in the operations, he needs someone he can trust to help him out here while he runs the company from Florida.
"I thought you had to go to your office, today." I say, running my fingers through his hair as we were still tangled with each other and the sheets.
"I do." He says, taking a deep breath. "But this is more important. Besides, I'm the boss. I can do what I want, even if that means going in a bit late because I wanted to make love to my girlfriend, instead of waiting all day until I got home. I will gladly do it again tonight, though."
I smile and kiss his shoulder. "Let's get you to work, okay? You can have me again when you get home, tonight."
Roman chuckles and touches my nose with his. "I love you."
"I love you, too." I say, sharing a kiss with him.
We share a shower and breakfast, before Roman finally leaves. He'll be late, which doesn't always happen, but he didn't mind, and neither did I. Feeling the slight, but delicious ache in my body from last night and this morning, I clean up a bit and spend some time with Jackson before going out to meet Jenny for lunch. Because I finished the last days of work, a few days earlier, I had more time to be able to get things together here, before leaving.
"Hey, girl!" Jenny exclaims, hugging me before letting me go and looking me over once more. "You're glowing. Did you have sex this morning? Or are you pregnant?"
"No babies." I say, with a light laugh. "But maybe I did have sex. But that's not the purpose of wanting to see you. I miss you and I'm about to move to another state."
"I'm going to miss you, too. But now I have a better reason to go out to Florida.." She says. "How is everything going by the way? You've been so busy the last few weeks with everything, we haven't had a chance to catch up much. How's that things going with Haggin?"
"He was caught last night." I tell her and her jaw drops open.
"No way. What happened? Do you know?" She asks.
"From what Roman and I were told and understood, Hagin has been investigated the entire time which is something we already knew." I tell her. "What I didn't know was that he was all of the shit he was being investigated for. I mean, I knew some of the things that he was being looked at, but turns out there's additional charges on him."
Jenny shakes her head. "So he thought he could just get away with everything."
"He had this mentality, and probably still does, where he thinks that he can do and say whatever he wants and get away with it." I say. "And the things that had been going around about him was messing with his reputation and costing him deals that would have continued making him money. Haggin isn't the type of person to live on the cheap side and he wanted more income to meet his needs. But turns out he was trying to get things the wrong way and it's coming around to bite him in the ass. Apparently, there's enough evidence to put him away for a while on all charges. Let's not forget the claims of abuse. The proof that he actually abused at least one woman. The guy that's followed me a few times, he's stopped. Turns out that he was part of Haggin's financial scheme. It was found that he helped Haggin commit fraud on several occasions over the last few months."
"Will he get in trouble for following you?" She asks.
I let a beat pass before responding. "I don't know. The guy never physically harmed me in any way, so there's no proof that he's done any harm. I think if Roman had his way, the guy would pay for that, too."
"I believe that." Jenny says. "That man loves you and would do anything for you. God forbid, someone touches a hair on your head. But I have a feeling that if Roman really wanted to, maybe he has the power to make sure he pays for that without the proof."
I couldn't help but smile. I knew Roman was protective of me, and even though it gets frustrating sometimes when he insists on me having security, I know he has good intentions. But I wouldn't have it any other way because deep down, I wanted that. I wanted someone who would protect me. Care for me. Love me. Shows me that he will stand by my side and remind me that he'll always be there for me. That he always has my back.
"I'm sure that he's capable of a lot of things." I say. "But, I'm just ready to move forward and get past this. This has drained so much of my energy and my time and I have new things to look forward to."
"Like making babies, because you're all glowing." Jenny says with a grin. "And I know it's more than just you being all happy and in love."
I laugh softly. "I'm not pregnant and I don't mind waiting a little longer. But I really am happy, and I really am in love. For the first time in what feels like forever, I'm looking forward to the future and I'm not dreading it. I'm not living in sadness and heartbreak. Its just scary because I don't want it to get messed up. I don't want to wake up one day and have the rug pulled out from under me and have all this taken away from me."
"It won't, sweetheart." My best friend says, with a comforting hug. "This will work out. This is finally your chance at happiness. Full time."
