"Welcome to Monday night Raw!" I hear an announcer say, the crowd immediately starts cheering. They're making so much noise it makes my adrenaline kick in.

"Come on, Paige." Brie says as they all walk to the locker room. I follow them in and put my bag down. "So, what's been going on?" Eva says. She's been gone for a while and tonight she's making her official return.

"Nothing much." Nikki answers, but truth is everything has been going on. "Where's Emma?" She asks, the girls look at me and I look down.

"She stopped talking to us." I say without looking at her. I grab my attire and start to take off my shirt. "What? Why?" She asks. I wish she wouldn't ask so many questions.

"Long story." I answer. "Eva, she'll tell you later, alright?" Nattie says coming in my defense. Eva nods her head and turns her attention to her attire. I mouth a "thank you" to Nattie who grins in return.

I get in my attire and we walk out to get our makeup done. Only Eva, Summer, Naomi and I are wrestling tonight. The Bellas and Aj are doing a segment but that's it.

"Good luck on your match." Summer says as I sit down beside her. She's got her eyes closed so I don't know how she knows it's me. "Good luck to you too, you'll need it." I say with confidence. I hear her chuckle as they start applying my eyeshadow.

"The following contest is schedule for one fall and it is a mixed tag team match!" I hear the ring announcer say. I'm biting the inside of my lip, "Nervous?" Roman whispers, he's beside me and I nod my head. "Don't be, it's okay." He says calmly.

Summer and Punk approach us and Emma is with them. She looks at Roman and I and I see hurt and anger flash through her eyes. She tells them something and walks away.

"Introducing first from Chicago, Illinois weighting at 218 pounds, Cm Punk! His partner from Manhasset New York, Summer Rae!" They walk out as Punks theme song plays.

In a matter of seconds, the ring announcer starts talking again. "Their opponents, introducing first from Pensacola, Florida weighting at 265 pounds, Roman Reigns! His partner from Norwich, United Kingdom, Paige!"

We walk out as his theme song plays. It makes
me feel like we're Seth and Nikki walking out. I do my thing and he does his but it still feels like we're a couple.

The crowd cheers for us as we make our way to the ring. Summer and I are starting the match. As soon as the bell rings Summer begins attacking me. It takes me by surprise and I am knocked down on the side of the ring.

I try to cover my face as she tries to punch me. The referee finally tells her to back off and she does. I get up and realize that my cheek is bleeding. She must've scratched it with her nails.

I shake my head trying to clear up my mind. Get your head in the game, Paige. "Come on, Paige!" I hear Roman scream. He claps his hands getting the crowd to do it too. I slap her across the face.

To women that's the biggest insult. She holds her cheek and I grab her by the hair pulling her but she screams and pulls away tagging Punk in.

He steps in and he's so much taller than I. He steps closer to me and looks down at me smiling. I feel Roman grab me softly by the forearm. He pulls me back but not harshly.

He gives me a look and indicates me to go to ring side. I give Punk a mean look and go to ring side.

"And your winners are, Roman and Paige!" The announcer says. The referee picks up our hands and the crowd screams standing up.

After a long match, we finally won. Roman tagged me in twice because Punk tagged in Summer. She would only avoid me and try to tire me out. Then she would tag Punk in.

Roman won the match by a spear and a super man punch. Summer and Punk are walking backstage and Summer is screaming at us angrily. We can't hear what she says because of the song and the crowd.

The referee puts our hands down. I jump on the top rope and stick my tongue out at the crowd. Roman gets on the top rope also but across from me. He lifts both of his hands up.

When we get down Roman grabs my hand and lifts it up one more time. I smile at him and he smiles back. He's putting it down slowly and softly kisses my hand.

I smile at the ground and we walk backstage. Once we are there he smiles big. "We won." He says, "We won." I repeat grinning hard.

He touches my cheek and I wince in pain. "Does it hurt bad?" He asks. "No, not really. Is it bad?" I ask as he removes his hand from my cheek. "No. Do you want to go to the nurse so she can put something on it? There's dried blood on it."

"It sounds hideous." I say putting my hand over it. "Nothing on you looks hideous." He says grabbing my hand and pulling it away.

I smile and wrap my arms around him. I lay my
head on his chest and hear his loud beating heart. He lays his wet hair on my head and I close my eyes enjoying the moment.

If I could stay here hugging him forever I think
I wouldn't mind. He hugs me tighter and I feel him sigh softly.

Suddenly he stops hugging me. I open my eyes and pull away. He's looking in front of me but I'm looking at him.

He's as pale as a ghost, and his breathing has increased. I keep looking at him trying to get him to look at me but he doesn't.

I'm too afraid to turn around and see what or who is behind me. So instead I look at him waiting for a glance, waiting for him to say something but he doesn't.

"Roman. Can I talk to you?" An unfamiliar voice says behind me.
