Rainy Season || R.R {#1}

2. |Little Talks|

Being around Roman brought me a sense of happiness I've been longing for for quite some time. Ever since I lost everyone, he's been the only person to lean on for support.

He's all I have.

"You did great out there tonight." I say, breaking the silence as we made our way out to the car.

Raw ended, and I of course had no match again. I can't complain, though. People would kill to even just be in this business.

"Thanks, Rose. I felt great." He says.

Silence.

I sigh.

"What's up?" He asks.

"We've been friends for a while now, and I just feel like I'm ready to tell you about everything." I say.

"Rose, you don't have to. If you're not ready, I'll understand." He says, facing me.

"I'm sure. I just.. When we get to the hotel. I feel like people would just eavesdrop here." I laugh nervously.

He nods, wrapping an arm around my shoulders.

"Anything for my Rose." He smiles.

Butterflies.

Stop it, Rose. Stop it now. You can't be doing this again. Not this soon.

"Ro, there's something I've been meaning to tell you.." I say.

"Is it bad?" He laughs.

"Kind of." I say, chewing on my lip.

"Lay it on me. No more secrets." He crosses his arms.

"Before I came to WWE, and before I even started talking to you, I had a boyfriend. His name was Jason, and I thought everything was going to be like a fairytale for us. I thought we were going to have the wedding, and love happily ever after. He was perfect. Blue eyes, dirty blond hair. After we were engaged, that's when everything changed." I said.

Way to go, Rose. You've really done it now. Bravo.

"What happened? Rose, I swear if he laid his dirty ass hands on you, I'll find him, and kick his ass!" He spat.

I stayed quiet.

"Rose? He hit you?" He asks, taking me into his arms.

"He hit me, threw me down the stairs.. He did everything he could to make me suffer. I thought he was different. I thought he was the one, but unwashed wrong. I'm always wrong." I say.

"I'll kill him. No one puts their hands on a woman like that. Ever. I don't give a damn who you are." He growls.

"It's no use now. He's dead." I say.

"What happened?" He asks.

"My brother. When you've got a brother in the military, and he finds out someone was beating on his baby sister, odds are you'll get your ass handed to you by the whole squadron." I say.

"Keith is in the military?" He asks.

"Indeed. He's 1st Armored Division." I smile.

"Where is he?" He asks.

"They weren't able to tell us. Their Sargent wouldn't let them say." I frown.

"How long has be been gone for?"

"Tomorrow it'll be 3 years." I say, looking away. "I'm starting to think something bad happened to him. I haven't heard, or haven't gotten a letter since he left."

"I hope that's not the case, Rose. That would be the worst thing ever. I just hope he knows where you are, and that your happy. That's all that matters. He wouldn't want you upset, right? He says, nudging me lightly.

"Right. I just wish I knew where he was, or if he's even alive." I sigh.

"Come on, let's get back to the hotel." He says, finally loading up the trunk.

The whole ride there, my mind was racing with what I was going to tell him.

If you just kept your mouth shut, none of this would have happened. But as always, you had to go and yap.

Sometimes, you're thoughts could eat you alive.

"Take a deep breath. You'll be able to tell me everything soon." He says.

"I just don't want you to think of me any differently. This is pretty serious stuff. I honestly don't know if I should have even said anything." I sigh.

"If you tell me your problems, I might be able to help you." He says.

"You're right. I'm freaking out for no reason. I mean, hell, we're best friends. Right?" I smile.

He looks pained, but smiles.

"What's the matter?" I ask.

"Oh, uh.. Nothing. Just stomach cramps." He says.

I nod.

"Rose.." He says, pulling over.

"What's going on?" I ask, looking around.

"Nothing. I just.. I can't keep lying to myself anymore." He says.

"What are you talking about Roman?" I ask.

"Rose, I... I think I'm in love with you." He says.
