Rainy Season || R.R {#1}

12. |Offers|

Today, I had a rare off day.

As the Diva's Champion, I worship these days.

You spend 5 days a week in the gym, constant trying to improve yourself each time. After that, you step into the ring to train there. It's a never ending cycle, and I will always love it.

This week, we were in Minnesota.

"I wonder if there's any good local places around." Brie says as myself, her, and Nattie went out for breakfast.

"There's something we need to talk to you about, Rose. Something we think you'll be very interested in." Nattie tells me. Brie nods.

"It's not bad is it?" I ask.

They both laugh, shaking their heads.

"No. It's nothing bad, I promise." Brie says, managing to control her laughter.

"Okay, good. You had me worried for a second." I say.

"No. It'll be a great thing for you. At least I think it will be." Nattie says.

After about 20 minutes of driving around, we found a cute local Cafe to eat at.

"Look at the furniture. I need to take a picture to send to Bryan!" Brie grins. "It's so rustic looking."

"So, Rose. How does it feel being the champion?" Brie asks.

"It was weird at first. I wasn't used to bringing it with me half the time. There were a couple live events I almost forgot to bring it with me out of the locker room." I laugh.

"That's normal." Brie laughs.

"I'm used to it now. It's incredible. You never really know how much you can do, until it gets set right on your plate." I say.

"That's right. You never know how much you've really got in the tank, unless you really fight for it." Nattie nods.

"So, how are you and Roman doing?" Brie asks.

"Um. No comment." I say.

Nattie gives me a sad look, and whispers something to Brie.

"Oh! I am so sorry. I didn't mean to." She says.

"It's fine. You didn't know. Nothing you could have picked up on just by looking at me." I laugh.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" I ask, steering away from my love life.

Their faces immediately lit up at my question, which instantly scared me.

"Well, since you're new, and the fans are curious about you, we were wondering if you want to be on Total Divas?" Brie asks.

"Wow. Really?" I ask, nearly choking on my drink.

"Yeah. I think you'd be a great asset to the cast, and you'd bring in some fresh talent for everyone to see what it's like to be new, and be a champion." Nattie says. Brie nods in agreement.

"Wow. Thank you guys so much. This is so cool!" I laugh.

"I don't think anyone wants another Jojo." Brie laughs.

"Come on. She's a sweet girl." Nattie defends her.

My phone started ringing, and I looked to see that Roman was calling me.

"Speak of the devil. I'll be right back." I tell them, walking off.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Please don't hang up." He says.

"What do you want?" I ask.

"I really just want to talk to you, and explain myself." He tells me.

"Explain what exactly?" I question.

"Everything I've been doing behind your back. Please talk to me. I know I screwed up, and I know I hurt you. Please just hear me out." He begs.

"I don't know, Roman. How will I know if you're telling the truth?" I ask.

"I don't know. Just... Please. I really need to talk to you." He says.

I took a deep breath, letting it out slowly.

"Fine." I say.

"I underst.. Wait. Fine? You'll talk to me?" He asks.

"That's what I just said, isn't it?" I ask.

"Where should we meet up?" He questions.

"I'll call you when I get back to the hotel. I'm out with Nattie, and Brie." I say.

"Have fun. I'll see you later." He says, hanging up.

I stuffed my phone inside my pocket, and walked back over to our table.

"What was that all about?" Brie asks.

"Roman wants to talk." I say.

"Are you going to talk to him?" Nattie asks.

"Yeah. There's no sense in me ignoring him. We've avoided each other long enough. Now it's time to talk, and see where we go from here." I say.

We finished breakfast, then went our separate ways for the day. I had called Roman, and told him I would be waiting for him.

Just as I was about to call to see where he was, there was a knock on my door.

I opened it to see him standing there, both hands in his pockets.

"Hey." He nods to me.

"Come in." I say, stepping aside.

"Rose, I'm sorry. I am so damn sorry. I don't know what the hell got into my head that would make me cheat on you. You know I love you more than anything. I waited for you for years... And.." I cut him off.

"You waited for me for too long." I say.

"What?" He asks.

"You should have moved on from me, Ro. The moment I turned you do the first time, you should have found someone better. You should have found someone to make you happy, not stressed like I do." I say.

"Relationships are always stressful, Rose. No one in this world has the perfect relationship. Not even us." He says.

"I've never had a perfect relationship. With anyone." I say quietly.

"I can't promise you perfection, but I can promise you a happy ending. Will you take me back?" He asks.

I took a deep breath, staring into his eyes.

"Yes. I'll take you back." I say.
