The Samoan (A Roman Reigns Story) (Reupload)

New Life

~September 25, 2015~

"Evanna, you have customers!"

"Sorry, Tammy. I'll take care of it."

I went to the table and got their orders before delivering it to the chef. After Caroline died, I decided that I just could work around dead bodies anymore. I quit working at the funeral home and was now working at a diner close to my apartment. I worked double shifts all the time just to pay my bills. But it was worth the extra time to not have to work with dead people anymore. I delivered the food to the customers and started to head towards another table when I heard a commercial come on the screen.

"You need some fun in your life? Well then look no further than WWE Live! This Saturday in Cleveland. Come see your favorite Superstars! Randy Orton, Dolph Ziggler and WWE World Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns! Tickets still on sale!"

The commercial ended and I went back to serving the people. He was champion, huh? Good for him. I hadn't watched WWE since Payback and didn't plan to watch it ever again. It hurt too much. But at least I knew Joe got what he finally wanted. I was happy for him.

"You got tickets?" My boss, Tammy asked.

"Huh?"

"To the WWE event."

"No, I'm not into the kind of stuff."

"Really? Because I seem to recall you wearing a Roman Reigns t shirt to work one time."

"I had nothing else to wear. I told you, I'm not a wrestling fan. Not anymore. Is there anything else you need me to do? I'm going to take a break if you don't need anything else."

"There's one more customer in the back. After that, break is all yours."

I nodded and went to the last table.

"Hello, what would you like today?" I asked as I looked at my notepad.

"Evanna?"

I looked up and his dark brown eyes looked back at me. "Joe. Hi."

"Hey."

"So, we have some specials today. The soup is pretty good and..."

"How have you been?"

"Fine. You?"

"Good. I'm champion now."

"I saw that. Congratulations...our salads are pretty good to and..."

"We should catch up. When's your break?"

"Not for awhile. Sorry."

I heard footsteps come towards us. "Her break is right now."

I looked to see Tammy grinning from ear to ear.

"No, I decided to not take my break. I'm good."

"No, I insist. It's not everyday a WWE Champion asks you to sit with him."

"I said I'm fine, Tammy. Anyways, Mr. Anoa'i, what would you like?"

"Some time with you."

"That's not on the menu."

Tammy grabbed my pad and wrote something down. "It is now. I'll leave you two alone."

Tammy left and I sat down across from Joe.

"Did you know I worked here?"

"...Yeah. I called the funeral home and they said you were working here."

"What do you want, Joe?"

"I'm still in love with you. And I know, I made mistakes. I know that. But here to tell you that I'm sorry. I really am. I shouldn't have listened to Caroline. But I did. And that's my mistake. I just wanted you to be happy."

"I was happy. Travelling with you, was greatest time of my life."

"We can have that again."

"It's not the same. You really hurt me."

"I know and I'm sorry. Please, Evanna. Forgive me."

"I do. But it doesn't change anything. I have a life now. A job, friends. I can't just give all of that up for you again. I'm sorry but I just can't."

I started to get up but Joe caught my arm. "WWE is having a Live Event tomorrow. Come to it. Please."

I sighed. "Fine. One event, that's all."

Joe handed me a pass and some tickets. What was I getting myself into?
