Our Love Goes On and On

If You Say So

I woke up to my phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Good morning, beautiful."

I hadn't heard his voice in seven whole days.

"Roman?"

"The one and only."

I sat up in bed and tried to think straight. We hadn't talked in so long that I almost forgot what his voice sounded like.

He left the next morning after our argument about the baby. No goodbye, and I'm just now hearing from him since then.

I was okay with it until about the fourth day he had been gone. My anger towards him started to disappear and I missed my husband all of a sudden.

"I'm coming home tonight." He said, "Did you miss me?"

"Yeah, baby, I did."

I laid back down and relaxed, hearing his smooth voice. "How are the kids?"

"Sleep for now."

"I woke you up, huh?"

"Yeah, but it's okay, I love talking to you."

"Seven days..."

"I'm not mad about it, Ro." Maybe I should be mad about it, but I wasn't. "It felt good."

"I thought so too." I heard him sigh, "I think we needed it. A little space from each other. Space every once in a while is always good, you know?"

"Agreed. We've been at each other's throats so much lately. I don't know, I felt like the anger was paralyzing me."

"That was deep, babe."

I giggled and rolled over to his side of the bed, making myself comfortable in the dent he had left.

"How's the promotional thing going?"

"Hawaii is really nice, but I'd rather be home. Nothing too exciting going on over here."

"Is that Roman Reigns saying he misses being home?"

"Nah, I just miss you."

"Don't make me blush," Even after five years he could still get to me, "hey, we should Facetime."

"I'm not even out of bed yet."

"Neither am I."

"Babe, I don't even know what I look like right now."

"We've been together for almost five years, Reigns, I know what you look like in the morning."

I heard him playfully groan and soon I was getting a FaceTime call.

It connected and I laid on my side with my phone sitting up on a pillow.

"Okay, is it working?" He asked.

"Yeah, we're good."

"Well, don't you look even more beautiful than I thought you would." I blushed hard and turned my face into my pillow, "Uh oh, is that my beautiful lady blushing?"

"You've never done this before, why are you complimenting me so much?"

"I was thinking about what Dr. Guy said the entire time I've been away and it really hit me that I'm not fitting into my role as your husband. I'm not even talking about the whole 'Who Wears The Pants' thing, but in other places too."

That meant a lot to me.

"Awe, baby, that's really sweet. I thought about what he said and I need to make improvements too."
