Falling For My Step-Brother

Chapter Ten

|School|

Miley's pov:

I went to my locker to get my books for the first three classes of the day. Roman had gone off with Seth and Dean to the gym for a team meeting with the football coach. I would see him in history class later.

I was putting my algebra book into my backpack when a shadow appeared above me. Thinking it was Roman I looked up with a smile. The smile quickly disappeared when I saw Dolph standing there with a smug smirk on his face.

"What the fuck do you want Dolph?" I asked crossly as I zipped my backpack shut. "You," he said in a snobby voice. "Dream on," I said as I pushed by him on my way to English class.

Dolph grabbed my arm and slammed me up against the lockers. A combination lock stabbed me in the lower back making me gasp with pain. "Let me go Dolph!" I yelled hoping that some how Roman was within hearing distance and would come help me.

Dolph had leaned in to try to kiss me when suddenly he went flying across the hall slamming into the opposite wall. I looked over and saw Roman standing over him his dark eyes full of anger. I ran over to him and laid my hand on his arm. "Roman calm down please," I begged.

Roman's Pov:

I stood over Dolph wanting to kill him for putting his hands on Miley. My hands were clenched into tight fists and were itching to punch his damn lights out!

"Ro calm down!" I heard Seth say but it didn't register. I raised my right fist, ready to strike, when someone grabbed it. "Roman calm down please," I heard Miley say and just like that I started to calm down. I looked over at her. "Are you ok? He didn't try anything did he?" I asked her and she sighed. "He was trying to kiss me but you grabbed him before he made contact," she said.

I took a few deep breaths and I blew them out slowly. Dolph had gotten to his feet at that moment. "Reigns! I should've known.......this ain't over!" Dolph snarled. "Yes it is. If I ever catch you around Miley again, I swear to God.....," I said in a threatening voice.

Dolph sneered. "Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? Wrestling match you and me after school!" he said crossing his arms over his chest. "Do it Ro. You'd kick his ass for sure!" I heard Dean say and Seth agreed with him.

I looked at Miley waiting for her to tell me not to do it. She looked me right in the eye. "Do it. Kick his ass for me," she said. I looked at Dolph. "You're on Ziggler. But if I win you are to NEVER come near Miley again!" I said. "Deal," Dolph said and walked off with Drew and Braun.

"What the fuck did I just get myself into?" I thought to myself. My father had taught me some moves but my training had been minimal. Dad had gotten sick before he could teach me any real advanced moves. Knowing Dolph, he'd be learning all sorts of moves to throw me off.

"Roman!" I heard Miley's voice and I snapped out of my thoughts. "Yeah?" I asked. "Look Daddy's taught me a few moves the last few years. We could skip class and I could teach you some of them. They're easy to learn," she said. I stared at her. Shawn was The Heartbreak Kid.....he did have some sweet moves. "Ok if you want. But we have to be careful. I don't want to be suspended again," I said.

"Leave it to me," Seth said and ran for the office. Ten minutes later (which felt more like eternity) he came back. "I just told the principal that us four," he said pointing at me Miley Dean and himself, "have a wicked case of food poisoning and have to leave right away. At first she didn't believe me but after I told her that Dean and I left two stalls in the boys bathroom a nasty mess she let me go."

We all busted out laughing at that. "Rollins you are a genius!" I said as the four of us left school. "So where are we going to do this at?" Dean asked.Miley was on her phone texting her dad. "Ok I explained to Daddy what was going on.....he didn't like the way we lied our way out of school but its no biggie. He said to meet him at the performance center and he'll teach you his moves," Miley said to me.

"Wow ok. Shawn's not so bad after all I guess," I said as we went to Miley's car. "He knows you want to be a wrestler like your birth father. He said he'd help you every step of the way if you'd like him to," she said as she got into the drivers seat. Seth Dean and I got in and as she drove to the center I thought about what she'd said. Maybe I was all wrong about Shawn.

Miley looked over at me as we waited at a red light. "Roman, why did you say you'd do this?" she asked in a low voice. I looked at her. "Because I love you and I just want to protect you," I said and she smiled at me. "Good answer," she said as she pulled into the performance center.
