Vanessa sighed but nodded anyways. In all honesty, Vanessa didn't want to mingle because she wasn't too fond of any single person here, except of a few friends of hers. After flashing Roman a bright smile, Vanessa made her way into the large living room where everyone was already mingling and doing everything but mourning her mother. With an internal shrug, Vanessa gave those she passed a fake smile, waving at a few people who said her name and worked her way through the room.

When a waiter passed her with a tray full of blue cocktails, Vanessa grabbed one immediately and continued through the room, towards the small bar they had set up. On her way, Vanessa downed the blue lagoon cocktail and laid it back on the tray of another waiter who passed. Vanessa's plan for dealing with the stress of this wake was to get a little buzzed, just enough to forget what was going on or to not care.

Roman had moved through the crowd until he found a small group to talk with. Roman had ordered a glass of scotch and when it was brought to him he thanked the waiter and continued his conversation. Roman didn't seem like high class but he could hold a conversation about anything. He had been through so much and was so highly educated that nothing was impossible for him. Though, now he was only happy enough to continue his life, Vanessa gave him that oppertunity.

One of Julia's friends, Chelsea, had slowly moved over to Roman, tapping his shoulder gently. "Hello, I'm Chelsea Miller," She introduced and extended her hand for him to shake.

"Roman Ipswich," Roman introduced and shook her hand with a dimpled smile.

"Pleasure to meet you," Chelsea said and then smiled back. "I know you're new to the family and I'm sorry for this loss, but you should know.." Chelsea trailed off as she slid her hips right up against his and then whispered in his ear. "That I'm only ten minutes away." Chelsea pulled back and smiled once more, her hand cupping his face.

"I'll keep that in mind, Ms. Miller." Roman replied and took a sip of his drink. "Thank you for your concern though, it is greatly appreciated and will be taken to heart." Roman didn't know Vanessa's mother, nor did he really care, but he was just being polite.

Chelsea had smirked before she walked away, confident Roman would call her at sometime. It was just a race for every woman to try and dump their husbands and get with a man they'd actually wanted to be with: Roman.

{Roman's Theme Song}
This is the proving ground. As the heat begins to rise.
Turn away from yesterday. Tomorrow is in my eyes. Oh!
Nevermore to be held down by the weights against me.
Nevermore to be cast aside. This day is mine!
Even through the darkest days this fire burns always.

Vanessa gave her friend, Lara, a small smile when she approached her at the bar. Vanessa leaned against the wooden bar on one of her elbows and picked up a shot of tequila that was resting on the bar, all ready for her. After grabbing a lime, she dumped the contents of the glass in her mouth and turned to the side to watch Roman from across the room. Vanessa stuck the lime in her mouth and began to suck on it as she smirked over at him.

There her man was looking sexy and handsome in every way possible, being hit on by possibly every woman in the room. It was a nice feeling to know that everyone wanted her man. After sucking on the lime for a few seconds, she caught Roman's eye and gave him a small smirk across the room as she picked up another shot from the bar.


Lara watched Vanessa as she stared at her tattooed man across the room. "So, you sure lost Martin fast, huh? Have to say, this is quite the upgrade though," Lara complimented as she picked up a shot and downed it as well. "I wouldn't mind getting with him either, geez." Lara added as she looked Roman up and down from head to toe.

Roman had turned his head to listen to Lara as she spoke to Vanessa, it was quite entertaining to him actually. Roman had excused himself from the conversation he was in and quickly moved over to his woman, his hand sliding around to rest on the small of her back. "Hey, baby." Roman whispered against her ear and smiled a crooked smile, her favorite. "Who's your friend?"

"This is my friend, Lara," Vanessa said as she nodded her head in the direction of her tan, bleach blond friend who obviously appeared very preppy. "Lara, this is my boyfriend, Roman." With that, Vanessa put another lime in her mouth after she had taken another shot. She took three more as Lara rambled on to Roman, not caring how bad it appeared to those around her.

"I've heard so much about you, Roman," Lara practically purred as she extended a hand towards Roman once they were introduced. "I do have to say, your tattoos are quite sexy. It's hard to believe Vanessa upgraded after..." Lara lowered her voice to a whisper and chuckled. "Martin."

Roman chuckled quietly and shook Lara's hand before letting it go. "I wouldn't consider myself an upgrade, but thank you, Lara." Roman said and picked up one of the shots that was placed down for Vanessa. It took a lot to get a vampire drunk and so one wouldn't hurt. After downing the shot, Roman placed the glass back down on the bar and rested his head on Vanessa's shoulder.

"It is interesting that you've heard a lot about me. As far as I recall, there isn't much to tell about me." Roman said, his Scottish accent as thick as always as he glanced over at Vanessa with a smirk.

"So you think," Vanessa replied with a coy little smirk on her face as she continued to suck on a lime. After pulling it from her mouth, she tossed it in the last shot glass and glanced around. Martin was supposed to give a speech and she just hoped that Julia didn't expect her to get up and say anything. "I'm honoring my mother by getting trashed like she would have."

Vanessa glanced up at Roman and her smirk widened. "So would you like to meet mommy?" Vanessa asked as she slid her hand into Roman's and made her way through the crowd with him to the small dresser like table that had her mother's picture on it next to a small urn since her mother had wanted to be cremated. "Mom, this is Roman. Roman, mom."

Roman stared down at her girlfriend as if she were insane. She was talking to a dead body. Well actually, she did everyday seeing Roman wasn't amongst the living but that was a completely different story. Roman cocked one of his eyebrows and turned her away from the dresser, moving her back to the bar. "I think you're already a little bit drunk, sweetheart." Roman told her and then placed his hands on her hips to pick her up slightly and place her down on one of the bar stools.

"We don't talk to dead bodies, Vanessa. That's called insanity." Roman told her with a chuckle and ordered himself a round of shots. Roman felt the need to get drunk just being around this family.

Vanessa smirked over her shoulder at him and laughed. "Look who's talking about socializing with dead people," She murmured as she glanced down at the round of shots in front of Roman. After stealing one, she stuck her tongue out at him playfully before downing it in a single chug. "Besides, I was only introducing the two of you. It's the proper thing to do, right?"

Vanessa laughed at herself and slid her hand inside of Roman's as he picked up one of the glasses. Vanessa leaned up and pressed her lips firmly to his jaw before giving his neck a kiss as well. "When's this thing over with?" She whispered against his ear so that no one else could hear.
