Kind of an Understatement?

(Sasha POV)
Once Joe was inside  I closed the door while I was trying to control myself and my breathing. To say that we had a lot to talk about was kind of an understatement.

"Do you want to sit down or have me get you something to drink?". I offered trying to keep my nerves under control.

Instantly a smile appeared on his face that was enough to make me melt on the spot.

"No thanks I'm good" He said quietly.

"So.... I think we should start talking. We have a lot to talk about". I said trying not to bite my lip.

He nodded in agreement, As I sat down before my legs gave out while Joe just stood.

"I'm guessing you know who I am, and why I'm here". I said quietly.

"Yeah I do and I also know about your Knee. Those things don't bother me Sasha. What does bother me is what happened last July. I though everything was going good. Why did you sneak out on me?". Joe asked calmly.

The expression on his face told the whole story. He was really hurt. I would've been surprised if he wasn't. I guessed that he'd want an explanation as to why I did what I did. Hell if I was in his position I'd be the same.

"There were a lot of reasons Joe. We both agreed whatever happened, happened and the next morning I felt guilty for leaving you like that. It was a cowardly thing to do and I'm sorry but you have to understand I wasn't ready for another relationship yet so I got scared and ran away like I always do". I started my voice being a little shaky. "It's more than obvious to know I have trust issues. I thought it would be best if I left and we would forget what happened. I'd never felt anything like I did that night for anyone ever in my whole life and I'm not afraid to admit that I was a scared".

"Why were you scared?" Joe asked sounding confused a little.

I mustered up the courage to finally admit it out loud. "Because in the space of a day I went from being heartbroken and completely alone to actually having feelings for someone. At that time it was easier to run than to admit it to anyone including myself". I said looking down to the floor.

Keeping my eyes fixed to the floor I remained utterly silent. Suddenly I felt Joe pick my chin up making sure that I looked up at him in the eyes.

"There's no need to be afraid about that. I know Sasha that's not what you expected but sometimes those kinda things happen in life. To be honest I didn't regret anything that happened that night because I knew it was faith that brought us together that night". Joe murmured the softness in his tone was still evident.

(Joe POV)

"So you don't despise me?" Sasha asked quietly and suddenly.

"No I don't despise you. I despise the fact that I didn't wake up with you next to me. I despise that I never got a chance to get your number. I even despise the fact that I didn't cook something up for you because I'm a pretty great Chef". I started to make her giggle.

"But I don't despise you I understand where you're coming from". I'm not capable of despising you when I feel the same way as you". I said smiling.

"So we both feel the same  what are we gonna do about it?" Sasha asked automatically reading my mind.

Before I could answer there was a knock on the door. Great way to ruin the moment.

"UCE hurry up Producers told me you're up next in 2 mins. Josh's voice said through the door.

"Tell them I'm coming I'll be there". I called back before hearing him walk away.

"Sorry about that. Seriously my cousins and best friends are gonna be the death of me one of these days". I said rolling my eyes making her laugh.

"I totally get it. I have to deal with Charlotte and Becky on a daily basis it's even worse when Bayley is added to the mix but I love them". Sasha replied making me chuckle.

"We'll continue this conversation later". I said as she nodded.

"Can't wait Superman". She smiled as I smirked at the nickname she gave me.

I left her locker room with a huge smile plastered on my face. Nothing or no one could wipe this smile away. I jogged to the Gorilla position getting ready for the lecture Colby and Jon were about give me. All I had on my mind was seeing Sasha again and continuing this conversation.
