Unsolved Issues

Paige sighs, feeling some guilt rise in her once again over the situation.

I mean, it was months ago, it was water under the bridge.

But with AJ gone her thoughts trail back to Roman. Why? Why would he do that to her knowing she had another guy? Why would he knowing he had...whatever he had with Brie? Why did she let him?

Questions build on questions and Saraya's frustrated, she gets up and heads back to Roman's hotel room.

Knocking three hard times is what makes him answer the door, and Joe's greeted with a hard slap to the face and a knee to his gut. He coughs, bending over in pain, "O-ok.. Probably deserved that."

"Probably? You did!" Paige fumes. "H-how could you, knowing what-"

"To be fair, it takes two to have sex. You were in this as much as I was, so you're half to blame too." He clarifies, still hunched over. "Damn girl, you have some sharp knees."

"Joe... Why?" She calms down with a sigh. Roman is back upright, his hand pressing gently into his stomach.

"I know. We both did it but I initiated it, and I was wrong. I'm not sorry because of the sex. Just, my intentions."

"Which were?"

"None. It was a heat of the moment thing. Last night we talked and you slept over and it felt like old times. This morning you were cooking for me and it just felt right. I knew about Kevin and what I had going on with Brie but... I dunno. It felt like us again."

"There is no us, Joe. Not anymore. Not since we broke up. There was no us when I started dating Kevin, there was no us when you started flirting with Bri and there was definitely no us when we had sex. That was the last time this happens. Trust me on that."

Joe nods, "Ok, I'll take that. And I suppose that this never gets out?"

"Uh, AJ already knows."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" He groans, Paige smiling sheepishly.

"No, I'm not. Well? She's my best friend, I need to tell her things like this."

"Look, things are...complicated for me right now. The whole thing with Brie and the tag-team between Daniel and I, my mind's been all over the place and being with you put it at ease. I really didn't mean to drag you into my shit Raya, so I'm sorry." Roman explains. Paige simply nods in response.

"It's cool. You just need to find another stress reliever."

They both laugh, the tense mood disappearing.

AJ sends out blast text messages to all of the former Divas in her phone to let them know of the new conditions and their potential start back into the WWE. She gets nothing but happy responses except for one woman.

You and me? We need to talk. - Mercedes

April exhales, feelings of nervousness rising in her stomach. "H-hey babe?" She turns to see Nicole in a sexy fitted red dress. "Damn. You look..." Her sentence trails as she gives her a full scan.

Nikki giggles, "I know. What's up?"

"Where are you going dressed like that?"
