When I finally get to the bar later that night everyone is already there, and already buzzed. Dean is sat in a corner alone, watching the world go by. Randy is dancing with Seth and Roman, laughing and joking. I smile as Randy spots me. "It's the boss!" he yells. Straight away everyone looks down at me. I shake my head and walk to the bar. "Nuh uh" Randy says over the microphone. "It's on, Torrie, it's so on princess!" I frown, then groan. "Really?" I ask walking up to him. He nods and hands me the microphone. Let it go. Again. I shake my head at him then start singing. I look over at him and he's slow dancing with Roman. I nearly laugh out loud, I settle for smiling instead. I hand the microphone back when I finish, then look over at Randy. He's talking to Roman. I grin. My evil plan gets put into action.
"Up next" the DJ says. "We have, uh, ass hat Orton." Randy looks at me straight away. "Oh really princess?" he asks. I nod. "It's on, Randal" I smirk. He shakes his head as he walks to the DJ. "Oh really?" he asks, laughing when he sees what I've done. The music starts and everyone laughs. Randy stands and sings "Do you want to build a snowman?" as seriously as he can, smiling when half the roster joins in with him. I shake my head and quickly order a juice, I know revenge is gonna be sweet. I down half of it before he's finished. "Boss lady" the DJ calls. "You again." I groan and walk up to him. He shows me the song and I smile. "Best song ever" I say. "Thanks Randal." He grins. "Thought I'd be nice to you" he says kissing me. "You've got enough shit going on." I smile as the music starts. Tracy Chapman, Fast Car. My favourite song in the world. I used to sleep with it on repeat. That's why Randy started hugging me until I slept. "I think Torrie wins" the DJ says when I hand him the microphone back. I smile and go back to my drink. Roman appears next to me. "That was amazing" he says kissing me. I smile as he hugs me. Then I panic. "Is it wise hugging me here?" I ask, looking around quickly. He nods. "I'll hug you anywhere" he whispers. "I'll do this anywhere too." He dips his head and kisses me gently, licking along my bottom lip until I allow him access to my mouth. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me closer. We break apart suddenly when we hear glass smashing. I look at Dean straight away. Or where Dean was. His glass is shattered on the table and he's gone. "Let him go" Roman mumbles. "He has to get used to this." I nod, leaning into him. Seth falls down the steps and lands at my feet. "Cool view" he smirks. I laugh and lean down to help him up. "Not the first time I've fallen for you" he whispers in my ear as he stands. I shake my head and hug him. "Guys" I say. "It's been fun, but I have to go now." Roman nods. "Can I...?" he starts, smiling as I nod. We say bye to Seth and Randy and head outside to find the car.
When we get in the apartment I throw the keys onto the coffee table and flop on the sofa. "Tough day?" Roman asks smiling at me. I nod as I kick my shoes off and wiggle my toes. He laughs and sits next to me. I watch as he wrestles with himself, finally groaning and taking my hand. I watch as he interlocks our fingers and pulls me towards him. He grabs the control for the tv and turns it on, hugging me tightly as he channel surfs. He kisses my head every so often and I smile. I'm just drifting off to sleep when there's a loud bang at the door. "Fucking ass hat" I grumble as I stand up. "Forgot his bloody keys again no doubt." Roman chuckles and concentrates on the tv. "Fuck sake Orton" I grumble throwing the door open. "Oh. You're not Orton." "No ma'am" a police officer says. "I'm sorry" I say quietly. "I thought my flatmate had forgotten his keys again." The officer smiles as his partner stares at me. "How can I help?" I ask. "Ma'am may we come in?" the second officer asks. I frown but nod and move out of the doorway. Roman is by my side in a second. "What's wrong?" he asks kissing my head. I shrug. "No idea" I say. Roman looks at the officers for an explanation. "Uh right" the first officer says. "We're looking for Torrie Good." "Well you've found her" I say impatiently. I'm tired, I get snappy. "Ma'am" the second officer says. "We're here because you're named as the next of kin for a Jonathan Good..." "What the fuck?" I ask sitting down quickly. "We don't want to alarm you..." the first officer starts. "I should fucking hope not" Roman growls. "She's six months pregnant for christs sake!" The officers nod. "Please Sir" the second one says. "We need to speak with Mrs Good." I hold Roman's hand and make him sit down. "What's he done this time?" Roman asks. The officers shake their heads. "Mr Good has been admitted to hospital" one says. The rest of his words blur into one another. I manage to hear the main ones. Attacked. Stabbed. Stomach. Operating. I shake my head. "No" I whisper. "No, no, no, no! NO! ROMAN NO! THEY'RE LYING, TELL ME THEY'RE LYING!" "Shhhhhh" Roman says pulling me close and kissing my head. "Torrie calm down, please calm down." Tears are streaming down my face and I'm rocking. "I need to be with him" I whisper. "I want my husband. I want to be with him." Roman looks at me as the officers nod. "We'll take you" they offer. I look at Roman and he nods. "Go" he whispers. "You need him. You need to be with him." I nod. "I'm sorry" I whisper. He smiles. "There is absolutely no need to apologise" he says hugging me. "I know you love him Tor, no matter what happens that's never going to change. Go to him. Keep me informed. I'm gonna go home to Seth." I nod and follow the officers out to the car.
