Brie Bella

"Roman?"

He looks down at me "Hmm?"

I think about my question and.shake .
my head ''Never mind."

He frowns "Tell me baby."

I sit up and glance back at him "No."

"Tell me." He demands.

His tone of voice is clam but full of authority.

"Do you love me?" I blurt out.

He looms taken aback by my question. He nods his head quickly and wraps his arms around my waist "of course baby, why would you ask that?"

"I don't know.." I sigh "I'm just scared okay?"

"There's nothing to be scared of." He says, pulling me back down.

"I know.. I just don't know why." I admit.

He runs a hand threw my hair, trying to make me feel better.

"Could it be because you gave yourself to me?" He asks quietly.

Could it be? I've never thought about how I felt about that. I've heard stories of when a guy takes a girls 'First time' she ends up clingy. I don't want that. I don't want Roman to leave. Not now, not ever.

"Baby, Answer me. "

"I guess it is." I admit.

He holds me tighter "I love you with all my heart baby. I ain't going no where, that's a promise."

I wrap arms around his neck, hugging him back tightly.

I hope he's telling the truth.

"Daddy, what are you doing?"

"I'm setting up for your guys fun night. Haven't had that in a while and you all deserve it." He says.

I smile and hug him tightly "Thank you."

He chuckles lightly "You guys deserve it. Now get the fire going while o go round up the pack."

"Okay daddy."

He walks off, leaving me alone. I gather up all the wood and put it in the fire pit as I wait. I hum a beat to a familiar song as I begin setting up the fire.

"Brianna Monique Bella."

I turn around quickly.

It's only Jimmy.

I let out a sigh of relief.

"What do you want?" I ask as I light the wood on fire.

"Don't get lippy with me little girl. Everyone might like you, but I don't." He growls.

I roll my eyes "I care why?"

He walks up to me slowly "Because, you run with the blood sucker. Your just as much a target as he is."

"You wouldn't dare." I say, my voice coming out as a whisper.

He comes face to face with me and brings his hand up to gently touch my face. I pull away.

"Don't."

He moves his hand from my face to my neck and grabs me tightly, choking me. I grab at his hand, scratching it, trying to get him to let me go.

"Don't test me baby girl." He growls, tightening his grip.

Just as I begin to feel dizzy from the oxygen loss, I hear the familiar howl from Daddy.

He instantly let's go.

"If you know what's good, you won't speak a word of our 'talk' to my cousin. I'll make it worse for you and your little friend." He warns.

I hold onto my neck, trying to get the pain to go away.

''Brie? Jimmy?"

I recognize Roman's voice almost instantly.

"What's going on here?" He asks as he walks up to us.

"Nothing Uce, I was talking to your girl, ain't that right Brie?" Jimmy smirks, looking at me.

And because I'm scared I nod quickly. Roman looks at me with a questioning look.

"Okay.. Want to wait for Seth and Dean with me baby?" He asks Me.

"N-No. I'm pretty T-Tired.. I'm gonna head home." I say quickly.

With one last glance at Jimmy, I walk away quickly, heading in the direction of my house.

"Baby!" Roman yells. "Brie!"

I walk faster, trying to get far away from everyone.

I just want to get home.
