Taking the Reigns

24.

I woke up in my room with a pounding headache and a sore badly bruised cheek. To my right lay a warm body. I looked down and to make sure that I was fully clothed before peeking to the side only to see Nattie fast asleep next to me. I laid my head back down and let out a sigh of relief and reached over to where my phone was located.

10:27am.

Well, shit. So much for the gym today.

I sat up and jumped out of the bed. As soon as my feet hit the floor my door opened and the new familiar face of Eric popped through the opening. A look of relief spread across his face.

"Good morning queen" he laughed and tossed me a bottle of asprin and cold water.

"Drink up. Dating a bartender for 6 years has its ups and downs. Free drinks, but kick ass hangovers. Water and asprin will become your best friend."

I gave him a smile and did just as he told me to. He smiled back but that turned into a worried look.

"Why the frown?" I said still smiling.

Eric let out a breath and handed me his phone. He had what looked like a news article opened and the headline read in big bold letters "WWE DIVA ARIANA HART TAKES THE WRESTLING OUT OF THE RING IN EPIC BAR BRAWL" just that one look and I was mortified. Steph could see this and I could lose my job. I read on.

"WWE diva Ariana Hart was seen at a bar last night with a few other of her wrestling friends, among the group was the Bella twins, Natalia Hart, Daniel Bryan, and a few others. Inside source says Miss Hart was dancing with said group when a manforced himself upon her. She was said to have pushed him away several times before jabbing him in the stomach. Minutes after the incident the man emerged from the mens room and planted a hard punch to the Divas face. Ouch. The craziness doesn't stop there, Roman Reigns, the Divas rumored lover jumped in and beat the living hell out of the man. Double ouch! Wouldn't want to be that guy. It took 3 men to pry Reigns off the guy. WWE superstar Daniel Bryan had picked up Hart and began walking twards the exit but was then transferred to Reigns who marched out the door with said lover. Reigns and hart were seen outside the bar with said friends after the brawl where Hart was caught arguing with Reigns by a couple of superfans outside the bar. The couple caught video of the argument and what you see is quite shocking. Hart is seen screaming at Reigns before smacking him across the face. Even though the smack barely phased Reigns triple ouch! After the argument you see Hart attempting to walk away only to pass out and fall back into the arms of Reigns. Sources say that the man in the bar is alright and in high spirits to find out he was beat up by Roman Reigns. It is unknown on the state of Ariana Hart."

Well, it could have been worse I guess.  As if on cue my phone beeped with a text from Steph asking  I was okay. Surprisingly shewas more worried than upset.

I hobbled out of bed and walked out of my room. I could see the worried faces of my friends and Roman as I entered the living room.

"You okay?" Nattie asked

"Just peachy"

"I'll go. I just wanted to make sure you were okay." Roman said standing up and leaving before I could respond. I chased him outside.

"There ya go. Leaving again."

"I dont have time for this."

"Make time. Youre not leaving."

Roman walked twards me. Trying to intimidate me. I wasnt having it. I stood up and gave him a look that only meant 'if you go, i will kill you' he relaxed.

"Thank you. For always protecting me. Im done arguing Roman. Im tired. I just want you dont you get that. Im tired of chasing you. Just stop. You put up this wall to keep me away but it wont work. I know you want me too. Im done fighting. You can leave now if you want "

Roman stared me in the eyes with hurt. He knew that I wasnt going to try anymore and it was up to him. He ended up doing exactly wjat I though he would. Walk away.

I turned and walked back inside. I acted like nothing happend but i knew that they knew already. My friemds spent the day with me before leaving to do their own thing.

~Friday~

Days had passed people would come and check up on me then go. I stayed home and did my own thing. I even called in sick so I wasnt going to smackdown tonight. As I layed on my couch watching the matches I couldn't help but feel empty. I know Roman walked away from me but I couldnt shake him from my mind. Wjat made it worse was that it was his match next. I watched as the crowd screamed when his music played, but something odd happened, he didnt run out. His music kept playing the crowd became impatient and then all of a sudden they were chanting my name "HART HART HART" Minutes later there was a knock at my door.

I stood up and walked over and opened up. There he was. His bulky figure stood in my doorway. He was dressed in his costume his hair was wet as it draped over his shoulders. His piercing icy blue eyes stared into mine. He opened his mouth and whispered.

"I want you too"

Roman then slammed his lips onto mine.
