Roman's Little Sister

NINE

         I walk in to the room I share with Nia trying to convice myself that what I saw was not what I think it was. And failing miserably. Nia spots my confused face as soon as I enter.

       "Hey girl. What's up?" she asks like I didn't just see him here. "Oh yeah, before I forget, Seth came by here looking for you. He said you guys were needed at the arena early for something."

         I shake my head and try to remain unaffected by what I really want to be talking about. "Yeah, I know he told us." I respond.

       "Us? Who is us? Because your brother just called me wanting to know if I had seen you, so I know it wa..."

        "I just saw Drew leaving here." I blurt out completely cutting her off. "What's going on Nia? Is that why you've been sneaking in late?" I ask

       "Okay, I have not been sneaking in. I just try not to wake you up? And it looks like you have no room to talk about someone sneaking around. So what's going on with you?" she responds.

      "I don't know Ni." I say as I shake my head and flop on the bed. It's as close to the truth as I can get because, I don't really know how to explain what is going on with me. I almost had sex with Dean, then Seth confronted us, and I don't even know how I feel about him acting the way he acted towards me. "I think I really messed things up."

       She sits beside me and wraps her arm around my shoulder. "Come on cuz. It can't be that bad." she assures me.

      "I almost had sex with Dean." I state.

      She pulls back shocked at my confession, scrunching up her brows. "Okay... I did not expect that. Dean really? Hmm I always pegged you for Seth with how much time you guys spend together." she continues which only makes me think of Seth and how hurt and mad he seemed.

     "I think I hurt him Ni. He found me in Dean's bed when he came by to let Dean know about the change of plans. I've never seen him like that." I say.

     "Well of course he looked hurt Dez. Girl, that boy is so in love with you that he would probably shave his beard if you asked him to." she chuckles.

     "I woud never ask him to shave. That should actually be against the law." I joke before really thinking about what she said. "How did I not know he had feelings for me?" I asked more to myself than to her.

      She shrugged her shoulders "I don't know. I mean it is pretty obvious to everyone in the locker room. Well everyone except you know, Roman and you. Which is probably a good thing about Ro. I mean you know how overprotective the boys can be." she says as she gets up to get her stuff together. As I sit there thinking I have to ask.

     "Is that why you and Drew are keeping what's going on between you a secret? Because of the boys?" she looks at me and sighs heavily.

     "I don't know really. I mean, I'm not sure what we are even doing. It started so quick that we haven't really talked about it." she says

     "How did it start?" I ask. She looks out the window of the room and starts talking.

     "A while back when we were at a house show, I messed up my knee and was getting it iced, when Drew came in needing to have his shoulder checked out. He slammed into the turn buckle pretty hard." she starts.

     "We sat there and just started talking about our injuries, the upcoming PPV, and other random stuff. It was easy conversation you know. Nothing I wouldn't have talked to others about. When we were done with the Doc, my knee was still tender and my leg buckled a little and he caught me. He said he would walk me back to the room. I told him I could get there fine on my own and thanked him. He said he wasn't asking me and that was that. He walked me to the room, made sure I didn't need anything and said he would check on me later." she takes a breath and smiles. "Things just progresed from there."
