Fall For You: Roman Reigns

S e v e n t e e n

When I entered the hotel room, I quickly found myself marching to the bed. I was exhausted and didn't want to speak to Joe. In two days I will be making a statement that I could take on Becky Lynch at Survivor series at that's all I solely wanted to focus on.
I flopped onto the soft mattress and shut my eyes.
A few seconds after, Joe came through the door. I heard his footsteps approach me and he placed his hand on my leg.
"Are you not gonna shower?" He asked. I hummed in response before adding, "Just let me rest for a few seconds first." He stayed silent for a couple seconds as if he was thinking of something to say, but all he said was, "Alright," and sat down on the bed.

Now I don't want to sound like a brat but, I didn't understand how he couldn't sense that something was off. I wasn't even trying to hide the fact that I didn't wanna speak to him and yet there he was just brushing it all off like everything was cool. I mentally rolled my eyes and got up from my position so that I could get ready to shower. I had a feeling that I was being stared at, so turned to the only person who was in the room with me.

"What?" I snapped at him. He raised his brows as if he expected that I would be comfortable with his staring.

"What do you mean what?" He asked with a 'duh' tone. I squinted my eyes at him and replied with the same tone, "Uh, I don't know? Why are you staring at me?" and to that he just chuckled.

"That's not an answer Joe."

"I don't know? You seem a bit pissed off today. Are you okay?"

... Okay I was wrong about before, so what?

"I'm absolutely pissed. Glad you realized. Can we talk after I'm done showering?" I asked but didn't allow him to reply as I scurried off to the bathroom.

I walked into the room with my robe on and my towel wrapped around my head. Joe was sitting on the bed, his head facing the floor with his hands on his thighs.

"Joe are you okay?" I asked. He looked up at me and smiled, "Yeah. I'm just trying to figure out what's up with you. You've been so quiet lately."

"Maybe I've been so quiet lately because you haven't been speaking to me. Listen, I know it's for Jojo's birthday and that it's a big deal to you but don't completely cut me off and glue your eyes to your phone 24/7."

He got up from his position and pulled me in a hug. "I'm sorry. I've just been so worked up about her birthday. I haven't seen her in a while, so i'm just excited that's all."
I sighed, "I know. You're gonna see her soon. I mean i'm excited too. Just try and involve me so that we don't stay distant you know what I mean?"

He nodded his head in response and we stayed in the position for a little moment before Joe's arm began trailing down my back.

"Nuh-uh. Not now J." I pulled away and went to look for something to wear. I heard him chuckling and he grabbed his towel and headed for the bathroom.
