Bad Secrets

Roman

Tonight is Monday Night Raw, And I have a match with AJ Styles, tonight.. Last Thursday, me and Nikki talked.. To be completely honest, it went better than I thought it would.. I expected Nikki to just curse me out and never speak to me again but she didn't.. I apologized for not telling her the truth and for keeping things from her.. She said she forgave me but that she just needed time and space, and I respect that... Everything will work out with time and space... I hope.. A hand on my shoulder pulled me from my thoughts.. I turned around and saw AJ Styles.. I pushed his hand off my shoulder as my jaw clenched in anger.. "Listen Roman, I know that we've had problems in the past but how about we let bygones be bygones, huh?" I smirked and nodded before grabbing him by his shirt "Listen carefully Styles.. We've had problems and we will always problems.. You put your dirty hands on my woman, and that is something that is unacceptable.. I didn't like you and I never will.. I'll see you out there for our match." I let go of his shirt and shoved him.. I walked to the gorilla, I stopped in my tracks when I saw Nikki standing there.. I walked up to her "Baby girl, what are you doing here?" She gave me a small smile and looked up at me. "Hey Ro.. I'm supposed to be ringside tonight.." I nodded "Oh okay.. Just please be careful, I got-." "You've got a match with Styles tonight, I know.." She cut me off, finishing my sentence.. I nodded, I opened my mouth to say something else but the stage manger played my music.. I looked back and saw Nikki smiling before heading out to the ring.. The arena was packed with screaming fans, I quickly climbed into the ring.. I circled the ring as AJ's music played, he walked down the ramp and into the ring.. We stared each other down as the ref got us ready for the match.. We broke eye contact when we heard Nikki's music being played.. She walked out with a gorgeous smile on her face, high-fiving fans as she made her way to the announce table.. The ref rang the bell, starting off the match.. During the beginning AJ had the match almost won, I don't know what was happening.. Every time I tried to get an upper hand, he would reverse it.. He dropped me with a hard suplex.. He rolled out of the ring and walked up to Nikki.. She got up, he went to grab her hand but she slapped him hard across the face.. He held his cheek as he walked back into the ring.. When he turned his attention to me and I knocked him down with a clothesline, making him fall to the ground.. I looked over to Nikki, and saw her looking at me with a smile on her face.. I picked AJ up and whipped him into the corner, I tried to hit him with a running clothesline but he moved out of the way, making me collide with the turnbuckle.. He reached under me and rolled me into a small package, trying to steal the win..

1..2..

I quickly kicked out and rolled to the opposite corner.. He charged at me but I hit him with a hard right hand.. I grabbed him and hit him with a powerbomb in the middle of the ring..

1..2..

He kicked out.. I picked him up but he kicked me in the gut.. He grabbed my head and dropped me with a hard DDT on the mat.. The ref bent down to check on me, I saw Nikki climbing unto the apron, screaming at the top of her lungs.. "Turn around ref!! Turn around!" The ref turned around and saw Styles exposing the turnbuckle.. I quickly got to my feet and walked up to AJ, I hit him with a hard right hand, knocking him to the ground.. He got back up and tried to punch me but I  blocked him and shoved him off.. I stared in shock as I saw AJ bump into Nikki, knocking her off the apron.. She fell to the floor, holding her face.. I walked to the rope to check on her.. AJ took advantage and rolled me up for the win.

1..2..3 "The winner of this match.. AJ Styles!!"

I didn't even care that I lost the match, I quickly rolled out the ring and check on Nikki.. I grabbed her face and looked at her, still holding  her face.  "Baby girl are you okay?" She nodded her head, I grabbed her arm and wrapped it around my neck, helping her up.. We walked backstage, I lifted her up onto an equipment crate.. "Let me see." I held her chin.. "I'm okay now, Joseph.." I rolled my eyes "Nicole, don't be stubborn.. Let me see." She slowly opened her mouth, I checked to make sure there was no blood or missing teeth.. "Okay, you're good.." She smiled "I told you I was." I chuckled a little bit before looking back at her. "I'm sorry about what happened out there.. I didn't mean for you to get hurt." She grabbed my hand and smiled at me.. "I know you didn't.." We sat there in comfortable silence, just staring at each other... Time and space.. All she needs is a little time and space..
