Loving The Reigns

Chapter 13

It's 3:00 on Wednesday. I know he's home. He's leaving again tonight so I'm getting my answers before then.

As I'm driving to his house it's starts pouring rain, but I don't care. I didn't wait this long for water to stop me from knowing what I want to know, what I'm going to know.

I finally reach his house and see his car. He's in. Oh he's definitely in. I get out of the car and walk to the front door. By the time I get there I'm completely drenched in rain, but that's not even an ounce of my focus right now.

I start banging on the door like the maniac I probably am right now. He opens the door in shock. "Jade if you were coming over, you should've called. That way I would've left the door unlocked and you wouldn't be soaking-"

"Who are you?" I cut him off saying.

"I don't know what you mean," he says all confused.

"Who are you Roman?"

"Something tells me you already know," he says wearily.

"Is Roman Reigns even your real name?"

"No. It's Leati Joseph Anoa'i."

"Oh, so I know absolutely nothing about you. I had to find out from Rosey's mother that her name isn't even Rosey. It's Joelle! Next thing I know I'm going to find out that you're married to some woman named Galina!"

"Galina Becker was my ex wife," he said it like he didn't want to say it.

"She's real? I just made that name up!" I couldn't stop the tears that just magically appeared down my face. "Why didn't you trust me enough to tell me you wrestled? God I don't even know how old you are."

"I'll be twenty-nine on May 25."

"Okay, but what about the question I just asked you? Because that one question is the most important one of all."

"I've been used before and I didn't want it to happen again. It's not fun dating a gold digger," he says.

"Wow. Well I'm going to go home and forget about you. That way you won't have to worry about me trying to take the money I never knew you had. Good bye Roman... I mean Leati." I leave and go straight to my brother's house. Donald opens the door on the second ring.

"Somebody got caught in the rain," he says.

"More like stood in it. I went to see him before he left. Turns out, I know nothing about this guy. Did you know his real name is Leati?"

"I do now. But wait you know where he lives? When did that information come?"

"On our first date. And no we did not sleep together."

"That's...good to know. I guess."

"Can we just not talk about him? I'd like to be Roman free for a while," I ask him.

"Sure." As soon as he said that, my phone ringed. Looking at the caller id, I see that it's him. Speak of the devil and he shall come, or call in this case. I look at Donald and mouth it's him. He mouths telling me to answer it. Why are we mouthing it? It's not like he can here us.

"I'm not answering it. I'm letting it go to voice mail."

"Fine. Give me a hug and we'll never speak of him again." It sounds like a good deal to me. I could really use a hug. As soon as I hug him he snatched my phone and answered it. "Hello. This is Jade's brother... Yeah she's right here trying to snatch the phone from my hands... Yeah I'll put her on." He turns toward me, handing me the phone. "It's for you."

"So is your ass kicking tomorrow you son of a bitch." I put the phone up to my ear "What do you want Leati."

"Jade you have to understand where I'm coming from. I'm a celebrity. Crazy things happen to me all the time. I have to be careful who I let into my life."
