Part 29

Damian left. I pushed him away again and I think that this time I had done it for good. I went into the bedroom and started packing my bag, I needed to leave but couldn't go anywhere because he had sent my clothes for washing. HE had done that for me so I didn't have too worry about it. What was I playing at? I went over to the window, put my earphones in and sat down on the floor. I tried to fight back the tears but I couldn't.

There was just something that had always comforted me about the floor. As a kid when my parents argued I would sit on my bedroom floor wrapped in a blanket, when the shouting at me happened as a teen I would sit on my bedroom floor against my door and as an adult when abuse had happened I always sank to the floor with a book. I was sat with my knees up, arms wrapped around them and my head on my knees looking out the window when Damian came and sat next to me. I was still crying and he wrapped his arms around me pulling me in tightly. I took my earphones out before talking. "You came back?"

"I'm sorry Sophie. I shouldn't have left you, I was frustrated. I just want you to let me love you and take care of you. My frustration and anger isn't at you, it is at those that have hurt you in the past. I'm here and I am not going anywhere. If you want too speak to me then I am here, I'm listening." Damian kept his arms tightly around me and just sat with me on the floor.

I wanted to let him do all of those things, I felt as though I had no choice but to let him in. "You already know a bit about my past but everyone who should love me or care for me has always screwed me over or not cared. Not just my parents and Dylan. My abusive Stepdad used to hit me and emotionally abuse me, tell me I was worthless and wouldn't amount to shit. No one would love me, how could they? Then I got a boyfriend when I left home who did exactly the same. He was lovely to begin with, then one day we were joking around and I asked what he would spend his winnings on if he won the jackpot on the lotto. He listed all the things he felt were wrong with me that he would fix. That is just one time out of many. I wanted a fresh start, I moved here and allowed Dylan to do the same to me. I want to let you love me but my head tells me you will hurt me too. Rhea is honestly the only person who has told me they care for me and never given me any reason to doubt them. Until now." The tears continued and if anything became harder.

Damian lifted his head and pulled mine to make me lock eyes with him. "Sophie, I will never hurt you. If anything I want to protect you, I want to help you heal from those who have hurt you."

"I want to let you but how can you? You are so busy and after today you go home, I go to wherever I fancy for a week and then it repeats other than a few house shows. You need to focus on your career, not be worrying about me. I want to support you if we are together but how?"

"Come with me."

I looked at Damian in shock before asking anything. "What do you mean? You can't just invite me into your home so soon."

"I have been asked to go to LA tomorrow morning for a few days to get some promo work done for Smackdown and then home for a few days, Raw is in Florida and then onto New York for Raw the following week before making my way to Canada for Chamber. Come with me to LA, then come back to mine for a few days. Have a few days in a home away from a hotel where you can relax and do what you want and need too. Decompress properly. I have a gym, a pool and all the weapons you could need to keep you feeling safe when I am out." Damian smiled the biggest smile I had seen him give me.

I kissed Damian the hardest and most passionately that I had kissed him yet, this one gesture from him was enough to knock my walls back down. "Should I take that as a yes then?" I nodded before kissing him again. "In that case you get yourself gym ready, message Rhea and I will go and get the flight details. I will try and get you added onto my flight and I'll sort my hotel booking. You ok sharing again?"

"Only if you are."

Damian stood up and pulled me to my feet with him. "Of course, how else can I take care of you? I invited you on the road with me as a couple, not as 2 singles. That ok?" I nodded while smiling. Damian kissed my forehead in a loving and protective manner before going into the living area and leaving me to sort myself out.

I texted Rhea. Gym ready, are you? Xx

Of course. I was just letting you and D sort yourselves. All better? Xx

Absolutely. Will fill you in on weights. ;) Xx

DAMIAN'S POV

I hated seeing her like that but I was pleased that things were better. I also think we had just become a couple. I rang the airline and had Sophie added to my flight, thankfully the last seat available and they were able to take an extra charge to make sure we were seated together. I then rang the hotel, checking to make sure that Sophie wasn't in earshot. "I need to add a second person to my booking....No, same room and same duration....Can you do me a favour though please?....Can you make sure that there is a bunch of flowers and a bottle of prosecco chilling in the room for when we arrive please? Thanks."

I told her that I would show her and I was going too. I hung up and smiled to myself while prepping my pre gym.
