The next night, Roman called Galina and invited her round to his hotel room. He planned on showing her WrestleMania 32 to help catch her up on what had happened in the wrestling world, since she stopped watching WWE.
Galina arrived within the next thirty minutes, but she was not alone. In her arms she held a young boy, who looked similar to her.
"Hey Roman, I couldn't find anyone to look after Jake, so I had to bring him with me. I hope you don't mind." Galina said, as she entered the hotel room.
"No, that's fine." Roman smiled. "Hey little man, I'm Roman."
"Hi." Jake said, shyly.
"Do you wanna watch some wrestling?" Roman asked Jake. Jake nodded his head with a smile. "Alrighty, let's go sit on the bed."
Everyone got comfy on the hotel bed and started watching WrestleMania 32. Roman answered all of Galina's questions about who was who and why were they fighting each other. After the first hour past, Jake became less shy.
The show had finished and Jake had fallen asleep.
"I think he enjoyed it." Roman laughed as he looked at the sleeping boy.
"Yeah, he did. I've never seen him so excited over something before."
"Maybe he's found his true calling. In a few years he'll be pinning me for the title." The latter comment made Galina laugh.
"Thank you for tonight, I really enjoyed it." Galina smiled.
"Well, thank you for coming. I enjoyed myself too. We should meet up again. Maybe we could go out for dinner on the weekend?" Roman asked, hoping he wasn't progressing their 'relationship' too fast.
"I would love to go out for dinner. Are you free on Saturday night? There's this place near my house that serves the best steaks in town." Galina replied, with a huge smile on her face.
"Yeah, I'm free on Saturday night. And we'll see if you're right about the steaks, I'm a steak expert." Roman chuckled.
"I bet you $10 that I'm right about the steak being the best in town." Galina smirked.
"You're on, babe." Roman felt awkward for calling Galina 'babe' but she didn't seem to mind. She just laughed at the fact they made a bet on steak.
"Anyway, I should probably get going. I need to get Jake to his bed and then I need to go to bed." Galina smiled.
"Okay, do you want me to walk you to your car?"
"Nah, I'll be fine. You should head to be too, It's late." Galina giggled.
"Yes ma'am" Roman saluted, causing both adults to laugh.
"I'll see you on Saturday."
"Yeah, see you." Roman smiled, waving goodbye to Galina as she left his hotel room.
Once she was gone, Roman did as Galina said and went to bed, but he couldn't sleep. He couldn't stop thinking about how much he had enjoyed the night. He felt like he had his own little family, even though he wasn't dating Galina. He just felt such a big connection towards her.

Dean was exhausted to say the least. It was now Friday, and Dean had spent the past two days worrying about AJ. He was acting weird all the time and he was distancing himself from Dean.
AJ had already left the hotel to go to the gym, he didn't even wake Dean up to say goodbye. Butterflies flew around Dean's stomach as he sighed, waiting for AJ to get back. He wanted to know what was going on. He didn't want to sit in the dark for any longer.
When AJ returned back to the hotel, he got straight into the shower, ignoring Dean who was sat on the bed. AJ really didn't want Dean to see him. He hadn't lost much weight and he was ashamed of himself. He didn't realize it would be this hard.
An hour had passed and AJ was still in the bathroom. Dean knocked on the bathroom door, to see if his lover was okay.
"AJ, you alright in there babe?" Dean asked, concern clear in his voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'll be out in a minute." AJ replied. The time ticked by and after another twenty minutes, AJ was still in the bathroom.
"AJ, I swear to god if you don't come out of there right now, I'll kick the door down." Dean said sternly, as his frustration rose.
The bathroom door opened and AJ exited the small room. He walked straight past Dean, who was stood in shock at his lover's new attitude, and sat on the hotel bed. Dean sat next to him, sighing.
"Baby, what's wrong?" Dean asked, rubbing AJ's back with his hand.
"Nothing's wrong. I don't know what you're talking about." AJ replied, refusing to look at Dean.
"Don't pretend that nothing's wrong. I know you like the back of my hand. You haven't been yourself lately and it's worrying me." Dean soothed.
"I'm fine, I've just had a bad day." AJ sighed.
"Why were you in the bathroom for so long?" Dean asked.
"I just needed some time to myself. I didn't want to be near anyone."
"Please, never hide your problems from me. I'm always here to talk." Dean smiled. "Are you sure there's nothing wrong?"
"Yeah, I'm sure. Thanks for your concern though, I love you." AJ replied.
"I love you too, babe. Have you had any breakfast yet?"
"Yeah, I grabbed something from the cafe down the road earlier." AJ lied.
"Okay, I guess I'll be eating alone." Dean laughed. "Do you wanna watch a movie or something, before you go to work?"
"Of course, what movie do you wanna watch?"
"I don't mind. I have a load in my bag, so you can pick one from there. I'm gonna call room service and get some breakfast. Are you sure you don't want anything?" Dean asked.
"I'm sure." AJ replied, rummaging through Dean's bag to find a movie.
"Okay." Dean said.
Dean knew that AJ wasn't telling him everything. There was definitely something bothering AJ, but Dean didn't want to pressure his lover into telling him what was wrong.
Later that day, Roman visited Dean and AJ's hotel room to tell them about his date. He told them about Galina and her son, Jake and he talked about how much he really likes Galina. Dean was shocked to actually see Roman 'in love.' The Samoan had never expressed feelings like that for someone before. Dean was just happy to see his friend so happy.

Seth was fed up. He had been lying on his couch for the past five days, drinking away his sorrows and moping about how much he hated life.
He really missed Dean and it annoyed him that his friend hadn't come to visit him to see if he was okay. They hadn't left off on the best note, but surely that couldn't ruin their friendship.
Seth had seen the video of Sami attacking Roman on Smackdown, and he now understood why AJ had called him. He felt bad for what he said to AJ, but he was too drunk to function and apologize.
He liked being drunk. It made him feel numb and it got rid of the paranoia. Just over a week ago, Seth was being beaten and starved by Sami, but apparently that wasn't a big deal anymore. None of his friends had come to see him. No one even called or texted him.
So, Seth was left to find his own form of comfort. Alcohol. It wasn't something he planned on doing, but in all honesty he no longer cared about keeping himself organized. It just led to bad things.
He snuggled up to Kevin II and fell into a much needed, deep sleep. He hoped that when he awoke the next morning, everything would have just been a dream, but the dream was sadly reality.
