A/n: Thanks to Purple chick29 and Lilygirl95 for reviewing! Here's the next chapter enjoy!
Chapter 9
All eyes land on me but the only person I lock eyes with is her. A mix of emotions run through her eyes at the same time. Sadness. Relief. Happiness? And love? He couldn't think on it more before Dolph is in his face.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" Dolph yells in his face.
"I called him. I called him ok?" Jimmy says pushing Dolph out off Roman's face.
"What? Why would you do that? He is the cause of this! HE is why she is in the hospital in the first place! And you called him! Why?" Dolph exclaims.
"Because we need to straighten things out," a voice says.
I didn't think she would say anything. Let alone agree to wanting to work things out at least.
Naomi asks if she is sure. She nods her head yes. "Ok well. The three of us will leave you two alone and talk." She hugs Cynthia. "Dolph come on lets go."
"Wha- you just gonna..."
"Dolph its between him and her. They have to handle things on their own. They are both adults who can make their own decisions. It doesn't matter who was in the wrong. What matters is that they talk it out and move from there. You have no say," Naomi tells him.
He looks at her and hangs his head leaving the room. He stops to glare at me leaving behind Naomi. Jimmy pats me on the shoulder and tells me to fix things as he shuts the door behind himself.
I walk towards her my eyes not moving from her figure and sit down next to the bed. I don't know where to begin. If I want to fix things this is the time to do it. But where do I start? Why I cheated? Why I chose another woman over her? Why-
"How are you Roman?" she asks.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that? I could be better but how are you? How are you feeling?"
She doesn't say anything for a few moments. The silence was killing me.
"Is this because of me? Dolph was right wasn't he? You wouldn't be in the hospital right now if it wasn't for me. God I'm so selfish." I rub my hands down my face. "Baby I'm so so so sorry."
"Ro..."
"No, just...this is my fault. No matter what you say, it is. Tell me," I plead. "Tell me I did this."
"And what exactly would that solve? Huh? Would telling you that this is your fault make things better! Telling you you are the reason why I'm in the hospital! Why I'm in this position!"
"Yes! It would. I would rather be in that bed than have you there. But I'm not and you are. It hurts me to see you like this. To know that I did this to you," I say tearing up holding her hand to my heart. "Babygirl I love you so much. So much so that it hurts. You are my everything and you may not believe me after everything but its true."
"Roman, I love you too so much. I do. I mean one day I'm, we, are happy and so in love with each other. Then the next...why? Roman tell me why? Not knowing is killing me inside. If I knew I would of moved past this but THIS. It hurts, way more than it should.
When we were together I knew women was and always would come after you. But the fact that you chose me instead of them, made me feel even more good about myself. I didn't care about this and that I loved mg body I love myself. But wben you cheated...I felt worthless. I didn't feel beautiful. I didn't feel confident as I always did. You took that from me. You ripped my heart out, my soul and I never stopped crying," she tells me crying.
I have tears in my eyes hearing what I had done to her. I knew i hurt her bad but not this bad.
"I'm sorry."
"Baby sorry won't cut it. Just tell me why."
A/n: Emotions running high. More to come in the next chapter. What do you think of Cynthia's confession? And what do you think is Roman's excuse? Until next time review!
