Phone Calls

As soon as Roman pulled into the driveway, Joelle started to get reckless in her seat.

She was very excited to talk to her Uncle Seth! It had been a really long time since she had even heard his voice!

"Let's get the food into the Kitchen first, Joelle." Roman said to her, and she frowned slightly, but the quicker they got the Groceries in the faster he could call her Uncle.

A couple minutes later all the food was stored in its appropriate place and Joelle was getting more anxious by the minute.

Roman sighed looking at his house phone. It had been along time since he had dialed this number.

"Joelle," Roman said to her, "Go wait in the living room, ok sweetie? I'll bring the phone to you once he picks up."

Joelle smiled and nodded, then bounced her way into the living room and turned on the TV.

Roman looked at the phone once again, then sighed.

'Stop wasting time,' Roman thought to himself, 'just call him, for Joelle'

He sighed once again, then dialed the familiar.

The line rang four times before his former brother answered the phone.

"Well well, if it isn't superman." Seth said over the line, "I thought after 'WrestleMaina' you swore never to call this number again, and looky here!"

Roman rolled his eyes at his arrogance, "Can it Rollins, I'm only calling you for one reason."

"One reason? And what's that Powerhouse?" Seth asks, sounding
Slightly curious.

"Joelle wants to talk to you." He says to him.

"Well then fork the phone over, Reigns! It's been a while since I've talked to the little princess anyhow!" Seth said, sounding like he use to a long time ago when he was still together Shield.

Roman couldn't help but smile slightly, "I mean if your too busy you know with the Authority, I can always call you-"

"No!" Seth practically shouted, "I mean, I'm not busy. I can talk to her, like right now."

Roman grinned and slightly chuckled, "Alright then."

Roman walked into the living room and looked at Joelle. Whose eyes was on the phone.

"It's your Uncle-" Roman began to say, but couldn't finish before Joelle ran and grabbed the phone from him.

"Hello?" She answered the phone. Roman smiles as he watched her eyes light up at the sound of her Uncles voice.

"Uncle Seth!" She shouted.

Roman smiled and exited the living room, back into the Kitchen to grab his cell phone to call his Shield brother, Dean.

He quickly dialed his number and waited for him to pick up. It wasn't till the seventh ring that he picked up.

"Great timing Superman, just great." He heard Dean mumble into the phone, signaling that he was probably with some girl.

Roman rolled his eyes, "You're gonna get over it."

Dean groaned, "What do you want?"

"Is that anyway to greet your brother?" Roman teased him.

"My brother" Dean began, "would let me do what I had to do, if you know what I mean, and call me back."

Roman rolled his eyes, "You've mistakes me for our former brother, remember? I'm the sensible one."
