Eternally Yours Chapter 10 Roman and Kristen
"What did you have to talk with John about?" Marlena asked walking into the penthouse.
"It was nothing important." Roman insisted cracking open a bottle of champagne. "Would you like a drink?"
"No thank you." she replied sitting down on the couch. "What was it that you were doing outside a few minutes ago while I was waiting in the lobby?"
"I thought that I forgot something in the car, but I was wrong." he said pouring himself a drink. "Are you sure that you don't want any?"
"Positive." she smiled weakly realizing that she was tired.
"Doc, you seem to be so tense lately." he said sitting next to her. "Is something bothering you?"
"No. I'm fine." she lied to him yawning.
"You know what I think it is?" he smiled looking into her eyes.
"What?" she asked closing her eyes.
"You need a good back massage." he insisted pulling her in front of him on the couch.
"Roman, it's alright." she began to protest as his hands moved along her shoulders. "I don't need you to..."
"Quiet Doc." he insisted placing his finger over her lips. "Just let me do this."
"I find it hard to believe that your car just happened to die tonight." John said looking under the hood of Kristen's car outside of the Penthouse.
"It's the truth John." she insisted watching him as he took off his jacket. "I would've called for a tow truck, but it's Christmas Eve and I knew that no one would be working tonight."
"It looks like someone tampered with the engine." John said shutting the hood of the car.
"Now what am I going to do?" she asked kicking the car. "This stupid thing has caused me more hassle than I could've ever imagined."
"I'll take you home Kristen." John reluctantly informed her.
"Oh thank you, thank you so much." Kristen smiled jumping up and down. "I can't tell you how much this means to me."
"I'll take you home, but don't try any funny stuff." he warned her as he unlocked the Jeep.
"You won't have to worry about me John." she smiled thinking of how she would have to thank Roman later for tampering with her engine. She had to admit that his plan was brilliant. She had to laugh though because poor Roman was just doing his best to try and save her "marriage" to John. If only he knew the truth, Kristen thought to herself.
"Doc, it was so great dancing with you tonight." Roman whispered in her ear as his hands worked their way along her back. "Tonight brought back so many memories."
"Yes it did." she agreed thinking about John as Roman's hands melted the tension in her back.
"Lay down Doc." Roman insisted pulling her down onto the floor.
"Roman, I'm fine." she insisted as he set her head down on a pillow.
"Just let me do this." he urged as she closed her eyes.
Marlena could feel herself drifting off as Roman's hands worked their way down her back and shoulders. She imagined that she was alone with John and that he was the one touching her skin. She could feel herself getting excited as her thoughts of John became more vivid while she slipped into dreamland.
"Let me help you out of this shirt." Roman insisted slipping her sweater off of her as she began to doze off. "You look so beautiful."
"I love you." she whispered as he turned her over and touched her face. "I want to be with you so much."
"That's just what I wanted to hear Doc." he smiled moving in and pressing his lips to hers.
"I can't believe that you fell asleep in the Jeep Kristen." John sighed looking at her resting in the passenger seat of his car as he pulled up to the Dimera mansion.
"Now what am I going to do with you?"
He tried unsuccessfully to wake Kristen up a few times before he finally decided to carry her into the house. He grabbed the key from her purse and picked her up. He carried her into the darkened house where he once lived and he felt icy chills run down his spine when he thought of all the horrible acts committed in the place.
"Where are we?" she asked looking up at him as he set her down on the couch.
"You're home Kristen." John said pulling his car keys out of his pocket.
"Aren't you going to stay?" she asked looking into his blue eyes.
"I'm going now. Have a nice evening." he said turning around towards the door.
"John, I love you." she began standing up and pulling him back towards her with all of her might onto the couch as she forced her lips onto his.
