This Thing Called Love

-roman-

It's a new night of Raw tonight and I just finished up a match against Finn Bàlor.. I can't seem to forget about my conversation with Nikki last week.. I could tell she isn't getting everything she needs from her relationship with John.. She doesn't need someone to hold her back, she needs someone who is willing to pull and fight with her.. I was trying to get her to see that but I feel like the only thing she can see is my past mistake, the one that ruined us both.. I walk down a hallway and went to turn the corner but there they were.. I quietly leaned against a wall to listen.. "Nicole, stop.. I already told you.. You aren't going to be in a match.. I need our focus on my matches." "John, but that helps your career, while mine-" "Nicole, please.. Nothing else is important to me, which means nothing is more important to us.. Reigns, my matches.. Listen I don't want to argue about something like this.. Let's focus on the important things, okay." "Fine." I watched as she took a deep breath and nodded, he grabbed her face and kissed her. "I'll see you later." She smiled at him as he walked away, her smile fading as soon as he was out of sight. I got off the wall and walked to her "Nikki." She jumped and snapped her eyes to me. "Roman.. I-I.. We can't talk." She turned around to walked away. "Nicole, I heard what he said to you." She stopped in her tracks and I watched as her fingers crossed.. "Nicole, you shouldn't have to focus on his problems.. You should focus on what you want and what you need in your career.. He's selfish and doesn't care for you." She turned around and scoffed. "So what? He's selfish and doesn't care for me, so what? Don't try to stand there and talk to me as if you were the greatest man for me.. You were selfish and you definitely didn't care for me!" "I cared and loved you!" I felt my anger rising.. "How did you care and love me? By cheating on me?" I clenched my jaw. "I never cheated on you." "Oh come on, Roman.. The whole universe saw it.. Your lips on Sasha's.. John may be selfish career-wise but I know for a fact that he would never hurt me the way that you did." She turned around and walked.. "Nikki? Nicole!" I rubbed my face, feeling small and ashamed.
