Bloodline Divine 2-The Rise to Fall

Chapter 41

A Family Affair

November quickly turned into December and I couldn't believe how fast time had flown. I couldn't believe it was the holidays already but my mind wasn't focused on that at all. I was more concerned with my training then anything else. After months of non-stop hard work, I was now approaching the best shape I'd ever been in.

"You don't have to train hard everyday it's a week until Christmas why don't you relax today," Roman said as I was getting ready to go work out.

"Sorry but there is no time to relax, I still have a lot to work on."

"Honestly, I don't why? I've been watching you the last week and a half and I think your better now then before you got injured," he said.

"I just don't feel like I'm all there yet," I said to him and before I stood up from the bed he reached over and grabbed my arm.

"I'll make you a deal Wildfire, you can train as hard and as often as you want as long as Christmas Eve and Christmas Day you relax and don't train at all," he stated.

"I...," I started to say and he shook his head as he saw I was going to protest.

"You're going to burn yourself out before you even make a return. Trust me I know what I'm talking about and I'm not really making this a negotiation," he said sternly.

"If I take those days off, you'll let me train as much as I want?" I asked.

"Yes, and I mean no training no morning run, no in ring, no nothing," he said. I pondered a second than crawled across the bed back to him. I leaned in and kissed his lips.

"Consider the deal sealed," I said. He smirked, grabbed my chin, and kissed me again.

"Briar?" my name came it was Jimmy's voice. I pulled back from Roman looking toward the bedroom door which was just slightly a jarred.

"I'll be right there," I responded back before looking to Roman again. "We good then?" I asked him.

"We good, go ahead see what he needs," he told me. I smiled at him before crawling off the bed and going to the door. I stepped out into the hallway closing the door behind me.

"What's up?"

"I have a favor to ask," he said.

"Oh boy what is it?" knowing he could be asking for something crazy.

"Actually, we have a favor to ask," another voice came I looked around then down at the phone Jimmy had in his hand to see Naomi on the screen.

"Hey girl, how's it going?" I asked her smiling.

"Alright, alright, I hear your in the mist of training for a comeback. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind having a semi-permanent visitor for a while who you can train with as we both work on a comeback," she told me.

"What are you serious? Are you telling me you're coming back to WWE?" I asked totally taken off guard.

"Yes, I am I just signed a new contract and if you can keep it a secret I'm making my return at the Royal Rumble," she said and I couldn't believe it.

"Shut up no way," I said.

"For real girl, it's happening," she said. I paused a second and looked at Jimmy then back at Naomi.
