Healing Touch

"Do I get my own cars?" She asked him as he drove towards the house.

"For now I'm leaving you with my least favourite car." He smiled at her.

"And that would be?" She asked him.

"My Cadillac." He shrugged.

"How can you not like a Cadillac?" She frowned.

"I never said I don't like it but its my least favourite." He corrected.

"What colour?"

"White."

"Ok at least its not a bad colour." She said.

"Elley what did I say about your feet up on my dashboard?" He growled.

"Don't be such a grouch." She rolled her eyes. "You're just going to get used to my feet being up on the dashboard."

Roman let out a breath and decided to ignore her feet being up on the dashboard. Once they pulled up onto the drive way off her home Eleanor put her feet down looking around.

She got out with him looking at the house. It looked welcoming from where she stood. "Is it furnished?" She asked him as she walking over to the trunk.

"Yes all its missing is your clothes and you." He told her taking out the boxes of handbags and shoes.

Eleanor took the two suitcases out leaving the rest for Roman to come back and fetch. Once he unlocked the door she began to look around at the house. She loved how it looked making her smile.

"I like it." She looked up at him.

"Glad you do." He smiled at her before walking over to the staircas.

They went upstairs and he showed her, her new bedroom. Eleanor immediately began to smile. The room locked comfortable and inviting. It somehow resembled a large luxurious cabin.

"Rose and Maria will be sent here every second day to clean around." He told her. "And before you say anything I wasn't asking you I was informing you."

She kissed her teeth before walking away into her the closet. "Ok you can go get the rest of my stuff in the trunk." She told him as he placed the boxes down.

He nodded. "And before you ask, the house has food."

She grinned at him in which he returned with a wink before walking out.

Eleanor was glad that she had packed her clothes the way she found them in the closet into her bag and as for her gowns/ dresses, Roman was going to bring them up. When Roman had gotten upstairs she was already packing her undergarments and the first suitcase.

"Just hang the dresses and gowns." She told him.

He nodded and got to it. In fifteen minute they had finished packing the clothes and now were placing the shoes with their matching pair.

"So any luck finding The Scorpions?" She asked him.

"I don't ask about your work so don't f*****g ask about mine." He growled.

"Sheesh, don't need to be so snappy about it." She eyed him. "I was just asking." She said before paying attention to organising the shoes.

"Why are you asking?" He asked her. "It has nothing to do with you whatsoever."

"Because I care Roman." She faced him. She let out a breath looking down at her hands. "Is that such a bad thing? I mean everybody needs somebody to care for them,...even you." She whispered the last part.

Roman huffed placing his hands on her shoulders then rubbing down on her arms as she looked up at him. "No," he shook his head. "No, it's not a bad thing for you to care."

"Then let me care,...let me care about you." She peered up at him through her eyelashes.

Roman closed his eyes letting out a breath before pullibgbher into a hug. "Caring for someone like me won't be easy."

She wrapped her arms around his waist."I know."

"I just moved into my new home and you want me to get dressed to go to a club?" She asked her.

"Of course I do." Danielle smiled looking at her.

"But I'm tired." She whined.

"Girl please, you slept the day away with your lover. Now it's us time." She smiled at her.

"And exactly what time am I going to come home?" She asked him.

"At a reasonable time." She shrugged looking through her closet.

"Reasonable time being when?" She asked him.

"Oooo, this will look good on you." She pulled out a dress. "Plus you'd have the men turning their heads when you walk by." Danielle smirked.

"Danni." She exclaimed hiding her face. "I don't need to be turning heads because I'm already seeing someone."

"You're so cute when you're flustered." She laughed. "Now get changed because I want to go have some fun."

Eleanor rolled her eyes before taking the dress from her grasp. Once she had put on the dress she looked at herself to see the dress had fit her perfectly. It hugged all the right places showing off her curves.

"See you look amazing." Danielle smiled.

"You look pretty as well." She observed the dress." Borrow it to me one day." She smirked.

"Of course."

Danielle wore a grey backless dress that cupped her breast and held her until mid thigh. Slits on each side up to her mid thigh. Her hair up in a ponytail with natural make-up on.

She did Eleanor'a hair up into a bun with a side bang and applied natural makeup on her face. Once they had gotten dressed and ready to leave they left.

"I can't believe Roman let you have this car." Danielle said with a smile.

"I'm more surprised that he gave me one of his own cars." Eleanor chuckled.

"Oh your lover boy is calling your phone." Danielle stated.

"Answer it and put it on speaker." She told him.

Once she answered it Roman greeted her. "Hey."

"Where are you?" He asked her.

"Danielle and I are having a girl's night out." She told him.

"Don't you have work tomorrow?"

"Don't worry I'm the designated driver." She said with a bright smile.

"Alright tell me when you get home."

"Ok bye." She hung up the phone.

"Have you noticed that your eyes have this twinkle every time you talk to him?" Danielle asked her with a teasing smile.

"No I don't." She denied.

"Yes, yes you do. Oh and when you smile that smile." She placed her hand on her chest for more effect.

"You are too dramatic." Eleanor smiled.

"I take my complements as they come." Danielle held her head high.

Eleanor laughed as they turned the into street. She quickly found a parking space before they walked up to the bouncer. Danielle did all the talking while she looked around. Once they were able to walk in Eleanor smiled at the bouncer and followed behind Danielle.

They sat at the bar and ordered their drinks. As she took a sip of her drink Eleanor heard someone say her name making her turn around.

"Uhm...." She trailed off unsure of who he was.

"Its me Jimmy from high school." He pointed at him self.

"No way Jimmy Piper?" She asked him standing up.

"The one and only." He smirked the goofy smile that she remembered.

She pulled him into a hug. "Oh my gosh you've changed." She stepped back looking at him.

"Yeah its no longer nerdy Jimmy. It's just Jimmy." He smiled.

"Yeah but you're looking sharp." She grinned. "I see you've been working out and finally got arm hair." She teased remembering how he'd complain about not having any.

"Yeah." He chuckled. "Well you haven't change much though. You're still pretty and kind."

"Aw thank you." She smiled at him.

They heard someone clear the or throat behind her making her turn around. "Oh Jimmy meet my friend Danielle, Danielle meet my high school friend Jimmy."

"Hi nice to meet you." He streeted out his hand.

"Nice to meet you too." She grinned.

"Are you single or are you in a relationship or married?" Eleanor asked him.

"I'm single." He chuckled.

"Great." She exclaimed. "Danielle is single too." She shoved him to her.

Danielle shot her a glare. "That's great." She heard Jimmy say. "Would you like to dance?" He asked her.

"Sure." Danielle smiled before pulling him off onto the dance floor.

Eleanor grinned watching them on the dance floor as she slowly sipped on her martini. She noticed her phone buzz making her look at it.

You look lovely tonight. ~Roman~

How do you even know how I look? You haven't seen me yet ~Elley~

Look up. ~Roman~

Biting her lip she smiled at the message before looking up. She saw him looking down at her.

What are you doing here? ~Elley~

Taking care of something. ~Roman~

She looked up at him once again only to see Jolene besides him.
