Stay With Me (Roman Reigns)

21.

Roman and I saw my sisters off at the airport Tuesday before heading back to the hotel to hang out which was definitely needed. I hadn't spent much time alone with Roman those two days and I missed him. I mean, he was my boyfriend and I stayed in the same room with him, worked with him and everything but I still felt like I haven't seen him much and that was going to change right now.

But now it'd been a week and we had Raw tonight. Before that though we decided to just stay in and spend the day together. We lay in bed cuddling while watching a movie. He'd picked some action movie. I wasn't quite sure what it was called but it was pretty awesome. I looked over at Roman who was smiling at me. "What are you all smiley about?" I asked him.

"Nothing." he said. "You're just so beautiful. And I don't mean just physically which you are incredibly beautiful on the outside. But you're also so beautiful on the inside. The tenderness you showed Emmie last week, it's just made me fall in love with you more. And it's also made me realize that we haven't had the talk that most people do when they get together."

"What talk?" I asked as I sat up. 

He muted the TV and then looked at me. "Well, about marriage and kids and the future." he said. "Do you see yourself getting married and having kids some day?"

"To be honest with you, I don't know." I said. "I haven't really thought about it much. But all this stuff with Emmie, I don't know. I think maybe I could be married and have kids one day." He smiled. "What about you?"

"Of course." he said. "You know my family is big on kids. They always say that babies are blessings and I believe that. So I'd love to have a house full of kids someday."

"A house full?" I asked with wide eyes.

He chuckled. "Okay, maybe not a house full. But I do want more than two kids." he said. "How many do you want?"

"I don't know." I said. "I'll let you know after the first one." He started tickling me and we both fell over onto the bed causing us both to laugh.

He stopped and looked at me, propped on his elbow over me. "I would love to marry you one day." he said. I looked at him. "Obviously, I'm not proposing now. It's way too soon. But someday, I'd love to have you as my wife. You walked into my life and it hasn't been the same since. It's so much brighter and more exciting. I love you so much."

"I love you too." I said. I pressed my lips to his once. "You know, there is one thing I've been kind of wondering about. You've met my family and you've gotten pretty close with them. So, when do I get to meet your family? Or do you want me to meet your family?"

"Of course I do." he said. "The thing about my family is that it's so big that it's hard to find days when they're all together. But I promise, when that day comes, you will definitely meet them. And they are going to love you almost as much as I do." I smiled and pressed my lips to his once more. "You know, while we're on the subject of the future, I wanted to talk to you about something else." he said. I looked at him. "I don't want you to say anything if you're not ready but I just wanted to know how you felt about the idea of us living together."

I let out a breath. "Um, I don't know. I guess it would depend on where you're talking. I mean, I've always gone back to Oklahoma. It's my home and I don't know if I could leave it. Especially now that Emmie's pregnant and I mean, what if one day our parents turn up? I don't really wanna be thousands of miles away if that happens." I told him.

He took my hands in his and smiled. "Listen, I'm not asking you to live with me today. You can take as much time as you need to be ready for that. And it doesn't have to be my house. Because my home is wherever you are." he said.
