More Than Meets The Eye. | R.R. & B.B. |

40 - Forty.

Brie Bella

"I can't believe Seth fought Conner." I mumble.

Roman chuckles and pulls me into his arms as we sit on the log, watching the fire.

"I'm serious Roman. Why is he attacking Seth?" I ask.

"I don't know baby." He says.

I sigh softly and slide off the log, moving myself to sit on the grass in between Romans legs.

"Braid my hair please?" I ask, tilting my head back to look at him.

He smiles and leans down, connecting our lips in a soft kiss. Our lips move together in sync.

"Ew!"

I feel him smirk against my lips when I chuckle. When I finally pull away, I turn my head straight so he can braid my hair for me.

"Brie! I need help!" Jey yells from the other side of the fire.

"I'm busy Jey, what do you want?"

"Help with putting mode wood in the fire. Nobody wants to go home yet and we need more wood." He says.

"Sounds like a you problem man."

He rolls his eyes and throws a piece of wood in the fire , accepting the fact that I won't help him.

I close my eyes and tilt my head back when Roman begins parting my hair to do it.

"You know, your so beautiful." He mumbles.

"And your handsome, what's the point?" I ask.

He chuckles lightly and kisses my forehead "Just thought you needed to know."

I smile and open my eyes, looking into his beautiful Gray eyes. I'm lucky to have someone like Roman here with me. Not just right now, but all the time. He's a big part of my life and now that he's here, I don't know what I'd do without him. He's the love of my life, my mate, my everything. How could you not love someone like him?
That only takes my thoughts to the people who dislike him. How could one dislike or hate him? He's amazing. Yes he's messed up in his past, but that's normal. Everyone makes mistakes. People change.

Roman was never the nicest person to me in our childhood, but he says its because he had a crush on me. Other people would see it differently.

"Roman, leave my things alone!"

He laughs and grabs my drawing book and runs out of the bedroom quickly. I groan in frustration and chase after him, wanting him to just give me my book back.

"Roman!" I yell, chasing him around the house.

He runs right out the back door, running threw the backyard. I push myself to run a bit faster, just wanting my book back.

He's always been a bit faster then me, so I don't catch him in time. He jumps onto a huge rock and opens the book, flipping threw the pages. I reach up, not being able to climb the huge rock to get to his level.

"Roman give it back! Go with Nikki or something!" I whine, trying to retrieve the stolen book even though I know I can't.

He rips out one of the drawings and tosses it down to me. I feel the tears swell in my eyes as he rips out another one.

"Stop it!" I scream.

My attempts are useless. He rips out two more before he hears my sisters faint yelling. I turn around to see her walking towards us with Seth.

"Would you stop picking on my sister Rome?" He asks, smirking.

"Did you know your sister draws?" Roman asks, smirking back.

Nikki laughs along with Seth who have made it up to us.

"We don't have time to mess with her today, we have to go Rome!" She says in between laughter.

Roman laughs and tosses the sketch book before jumping down off the rock. He pushes me as he passes me, earning more laughs from Nikki and Seth. I drop to my knee's, beginning to collect to the pages her wripped out, letting the tears fall as they walk away, laughing at the pain and humiliation I'm feeling.

"Brie? Baby are you okay?"

I blink a couple times and look around. Romans looking down at me with worried eyes. My reply is a simple nod.

"Are you sure?" He asks, not convinced.

"Uh.. Yeah.. I'm fine." I mumble.

He wraps his arms around me tightly, holding me close to him. I sigh and lay my head on His arm.

"You know, you used to be a dick to me."

He sighs and squeezes me "I know baby, I'm really sorry."

"Its okay.. I just think about it here and there." I mumble.

"We'll don't. Baby I would never treat you wrong again, okay?"

"Okay."

I tilt my head back and and place a soft kiss on his lips.

"I love you."

"I love you to, forever and always baby."
