***********
Megan held her breath as she got out of the limo with Roman by her side. The press was there and many famous celebs. She was suprised to see so many at Roman's charity gala.
Roman smiles softly and he holds her hand tightly as he helps guide her out of the limo and onto the red carpet. The press would flash their cameras around them as many famous celebrities were also in attendance. Roman spoke softly as they made their way down the carpet together. "Alright, my dear. Just follow my lead and we will have a good time here. You look absolutely stunning by the way."
She smiles nervously as she held him tightly, " Thank you."
A reporter suddenly yells out, "Mr lewis who is this beauty on your arm?"
Megan looks at Roman shocked, she was afraid to be plunged into the spotlight.
Roman smiles widely as he looks over at the reporter.*"This is my very special and beautiful date."
He doesn't say anything else and leads her inside the gala. Her eyes grow wider as she sees the extravagant hall. Roman chuckles softly as he looks at her in her impressed state. The gala had truly been filled with the richest and most prestigious people in the city. He had taken her to one of the most exclusive events and she seemed to be enjoying herself so far. As they walked together hand in hand he spoke softly into her ear.
"So, my dear, are you having a good time so far?"
"Everything looks so perfect. Its so...breath taking."
"Oh, is the atmosphere that stunning?" Roman chuckled softly as he looks around. The vibe of the gala had to be somewhat surreal indeed. The music and the conversations of important people were all surrounding them as they made their way further into the event. This had to be something of a unique experience indeed. Roman's smile was wide and he was feeling extremely happy that he had found someone like her. She made him feel a little more grounded than he had been as of late.
"Roman! You made it!" Jonah says walking over to them, "The prime minister is here, I think you should go talk business."
Roman's expression softeners and he sighs softly as he hears this. He looks over at her and smiles softly as he speaks. "Alright my dear. It looks like I've got some business to take care of but I will be back to you. Don't go anywhere okay? I'll be back pretty soon so I can spend the rest of the night with you."
Jonah smiles at Her, "I'll keep her company, Im curious to find out more about your mystery woman."
Roman smiles and his eyes brighten a little bit as he hears this. His advisor was interested in wanting to know more about her and he chuckled softly at this. He turns his attention back on her and he speaks with a charming and flirty tone. "Well, I'm glad she'll be in good hands while I'm having some business matters to take care of. Make sure you take good care of her Jonah because I will be watching you."
"Alright." Jonah chuckles.
Megan watches as Roman walk away and she smiles when Jonah takes Champaign from a waiter and hands it to her. "Thanks."
"So you must be Roman's new girl. If there's one thing about him that I can say is that he's very selective and secretive on who he dates. So it's a pleasure to find out that he has chosen a lovely lady like yourself."
"You mean he is a player?" She says with a small smile on her face.
Jonah laughs before he speaks softly as he sees her reaction. She clearly wasn't the jealous type which he found extremely interesting. "Well, he does have a big reputation with women, I'm sure you know what I mean by that. But the way he has been acting around since he met you tells me that you are more than just a mere fling. I've never seen him so smitten with someone before. You must be very special."
"I guess I am." Megan says sipping her Champaign, "He is a very special man."
Jonah chuckles as he also takes a sip of champagne. He smiles as he speaks back to her in a friendly and gentle tone. "That is certainly true. I have never seen him this happy and smitten before. I'm glad he is finally experiencing the joy of being in love. I just hope you don't break his heart, my dear."
Megan felt her mind racing, did she have the power to do that? Was she that important to him that she could leave him heart broken?
"You came."
Megan turns and sees Apollo approaching her. The last time she saw him he had offered her a million dollars for taking care of Roman when he was injured.
"Apollo."
*Jonha notices her attention diverted to someone else and that's when he smiles curiously. The only person he could think of that would make her look in that direction would be Apollo but he thought that they had no relationship, Maybe not? It was still confusing to him.
Apollo's voice breaks him out of his thoughts. His voice was cold and calculating as always but even he smiled a little when he saw her. "Megan. Good to see your looking absolutely spectacular in that dress."
"Thank you. Roman...he helped me pick it out." Megan was feeling awkward. She had a feeling Apollo didn't exactly like her.
Apollo raises an eyebrow and his mouth twists slightly to its usual cold smirk. "I see. Roman has great taste then because you look stunning in that dress. Of course, you could probably pull off any dress with your beauty."
Megan smiles feeling really confused as to why he was being so kind to her right now. "Thanks."
Apollo chuckles softly before he speaks again. They were still in the middle of a gala so he had to keep up the appearance of being civil. He couldn't make it too obvious that he just straight up didn't like or trust her. "So I'm guessing you're enjoying the gala so far then?"
"I am. It's very interesting." She says with a nervous chuckle. When she sees Roman walking back with his friend Jack she felt relieved.
Apollo's face becomes cold again as he notices the two coming back to them. His coldness had disappeared the second that he saw Roman. He nods softly and he turns his attention back to her. "Well, I'm glad that you're having a good time my dear. And you might want to turn your attention back to Roman because he looks like he's going to want to talk to you."
Megan nods and moves towards Roman, "You're finally back."
Roman puts his arms around her as he smiles softly. "I am indeed my dear. It took longer than I expected but I managed to wrap up that conversation. Did I miss out on anything important while I was gone?"
"Nothing. I just spoke to Jonah and Apollo." She says looking up at him.
Jack stares at her with a huge grin on his face, "What a gorgeous woman....we meet again lovely."
Megan looks at Jack and smiles at him, "Hello."
Roman spoke softly as he caressed her cheek softly. "I definitely agree with you on her being a gorgeous woman. She is very beautiful, isn't she? Now then, I'm assuming you all have made your introductions to one another?"
Jack takes her hand kissing it, "I'm Jack my dear."
Megan smiles amused, "I'm Megan Johnson."
Roman's eyes widen ever so slightly as he notices Jack kissed her hand. This wasn't the first time he saw people interested in her. Although, he didn't expect Jack to already do this.
He chuckles softly as he hears her introduction and he speaks gently as he still keeps her hand close to him. "You are certainly a catch, my dear. I can definitely understand why many men would be interested in you. You are definitely a beautiful woman."
Megan smiles turning to see Roman's reaction to this.
Roman raises an eyebrow and he looks at Jack with a stern and cold expression. "Jack....don't even think of trying to steal my girl. I'm not afraid to rip your head off your shoulders if you try something with her."
She looks at Roman stunned wondering if he was joking or not.
"You should go attend to your guests Roman. I'll keep her company." Jack said with a chuckle as he gestures to guests waiting to talk to him.
Roman shakes his head to indicate that he wasn't joking. He still had a cold and intimidating expression on his face as he looks back at Jack. He really didn't like the look on his face. The joke wasn't exactly funny to him. Roman then sighs and he speaks very softly. "Very well. I will be back soon but, anything happens, You're dead...okay?"
"Don't worry." Jack smiles turning back to her. Megan looks at Roman knowing this would not end well.
Roman still looked fairly annoyed at Jack but he couldn't do much without causing a scene in the middle of the gala. Reluctantly he turns his attention to the guests that would like to speak with him, leaving Megan alone with Jack for a little while.
Roman couldn't help but watch their interaction from a distance. She seems comfortable with Jack even though she has met him for the second time here tonight. He watched as he leaned close to her and spoke to her so softly. He saw her hitting him playfully and they were both laughing.
That scene alone would have made any man jealous of the situation. Jack was trying his best to flirt with her and he seemed to be succeeding by quite a large margin.
"Your girl and Jack seem to be hitting it off." Apollo said walking up to him with two girls with him.
Roman looks to Apollo with a rather irritated expression. he was right. Jack was indeed hitting it off with his love for the night. Roman was annoyed at the fact that he was even able to make her laugh and even had the audacity to flirt with her so early. He couldn't do anything about it without causing a scene though. "I know...I can see that."
Apollo laughs, "Don't tell me you're feeling jealous brother."
Roman glares at Apollo for even saying such an outrageous statement to him. Roman was not the type of person to ever be jealous or even to have any hint of jealousy in him. He would never be jealous...ever "Jealous? Me? Don't make me laugh, brother. I have absolutely no reason to be jealous of another man."
Apollo let's out a louder chuckle, "Brother...you haven't taken your eyes off them and you're about to break that poor glass you're squeezing."
Roman grits his teeth and his eyes narrow even more in an attempt to try and hide his jealousy from his brother. His brother sure as hell wasn't making it easy for him though. He was practically laughing at him right in front of his face and the other women were also starting to look at him in curiosity about how he'd react. "I am not being jealous at all."
"Look, He's taking her to the dance floor." Apollo said as Jack lead Megan to the dance floor where people were slow dancing.
Roman glares at Apollo with an even more irritating attitude as soon as he says that. The fact that he's taking her to the dance floor made his blood boil even more. He was really pushing his limits right now.
He looks over at the dance floor and he sees them getting ready to slow dance. This was seriously irritating him. He couldn't let this happen in front of him like this. His emotions were getting the best of him.
Roman watches as she laughs happily as she dances with Jack. he sees Jack whispering in her ear and she seems to be listening to everything he is saying. This was certainly not something he liked seeing at all. The two looked almost perfect together as they danced. He couldn't help but become even more agitated by the second.
Roman sees her laughing along with Jack who seems to be speaking to her quite a lot. This was not how the night was supposed to go at all. He was supposed to win her over for the entire night, not let someone else entertain her. This was his date, not Jack's. He was really starting to piss him off as he watched both of them dancing and him speaking to her. He wasn't going to tolerate this for long.
"Wow you're really holding out longer than I expected...at least Megan is having fun with Jack."
Roman chuckles, although it was a harsh sounding one. What did Apollo mean by that? Was he intentionally trying to piss him off? He certainly succeeded in this aspect and it was really irritating him. He couldn't help but growl slightly as he spoke.
"I'm just trying to keep my cool for the sake of the party. I was hoping I wouldn't have to interrupt the party but I guess I'm going to have to because this situation is just not acceptable."
Roman quickly approaches the two of them. He is not happy with this at all and he's definitely not pleased with the fact that Jack is entertaining her. He stops right in front of them both and he clears his throat loudly to get Jack's attention. He stares at the both of them and he keeps a very stern look on his face as a clear warning is given with just a look.
"What's wrong my love?" Megan sees him and moves away from Jack who had a smirk on his face.
Roman doesn't take his eyes off of Jack as he stares him down in an intimidating manner. He spoke softly as he kept a hold of his anger just by the bare minimum because he wasn't going to allow himself to lose his cool in front of such a big crowd and all the people that are present. He was not pleased with Jack's actions. "You're a very brave man for flirting with my date and entertaining her."
"Roman. He wasn't flirting. We were just talking." Megan said.
"Roman. He wasn't flirting. We were just talking." Megan said.
Roman still keeps his eyes firmly on Jack and he raises an eyebrow as he hears Megan try and explain the situation. He couldn't help but notice Jack's smirk as she defends him. Roman isn't that easy to fool though and he knows exactly what Jack was trying to pull off here. He turns his attention back to Megan and he speaks softly. "Is that so? I'm pretty sure he's trying to make a move on you right now."
"Oh my goodness Roman. This is not what you think."
Her words cause him to get more angry. He grabs her arm and drags her out of the gala as people stare at them.
