Stay With Me (Roman Reigns)

34.

The taxi pulled up outside the hotel. I was back on the road baby! And it felt good. I spent almost two weeks at home dealing with the biological things that appeared out of the blue, arrested and charged with child endangerment and fraud. So after confronting them and hearing the hurtful explanation they gave us for why they left us in a park when we were kids, it felt good to get back to work. I wanted to get in that ring and take out some of my aggression.

I walked into the hotel and grabbed a key card to the room Roman already had before I headed up to the floor. I walked the hallway until I found the room and then I stopped before sliding the key card in and opening the door. Roman was sitting on the bed scrolling through his phone. He didn't even hear me come in. I shut the door quietly and then turned to him. "Well, there's a sexy man." I said with a smile catching his attention.

He looked up at me and smiled. "There's my sexy baby girl." he said before getting up. I ran and jumped in his arms as he caught me. He pressed his lips to mine and held me close.

"I missed you so much." I said. "There's so much to tell you."

"Oh yeah?" he asked. "Like what?" He let me go and we sat down on the bed.

"I went with Taryn, Emmie and Uncle Bill to talk to Jacob and Miranda." I said.

"How'd that go?" he asked.

"Better, actually. I think we all really needed to just confront the whole situation and get everything out. I knew my sisters were gonna have some stuff to say to them but they really laid into them. Taryn even told them that she wishes they were dead." I said.

"Wow." he said.

"Yeah, but they just kept saying that they regret what they did and that they were sorry. But there's nothing they can say or do that's gonna make up for what they put us through. I mean, fifteen years is a very long time and they made our lives hell for that long. I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive them." I said.

"I don't blame you." he said.

"It felt really good to put them in the past." I told him. "Now I'm just ready to get back to work and be with you. I missed you so much."

"I missed you too." he said as he put his arm around me. He pulled me into his side and then pressed his lips to mine. I melted into him because, well, I hadn't felt this in two weeks. I mean, I've wanted to but I'd been so preoccupied with the damn drama of Jacob and Miranda returning that we just didn't. And now I felt the repercussions of that. I wanted him. Bad. I deepened the kiss by tangling my fingers in his hair. He pulled me in closer and then laid me down on the bed before hovering over me. This felt so amazing. I missed my man so damn much and I was so glad to be back on the road with him and my friends.

Roman and I walked into the arena with Seth. Dean wasn't here after his story line reached a peak with Seth. On Raw last week, Seth stomped Dean's head through a pile of cinderblocks taking him out but Dean was also heading off to make a movie so it was all perfect timing.

We walked into the locker room and Roman immediately went to get ready but I had a while before I had to be out in the ring so I just sat down and relaxed with Seth since he was just wearing his suit to the ring at the beginning of the show. Of course I would be out there too at the beginning of the show but I could stay in my jeans and black t-shirt for it. "So, how'd it go at home?" Seth asked.

I looked at him as I rested my head on the back of the couch. "Horrible but clarifying at the same time. We got a lot of stuff out in the open and I feel like I'm really able to move on now and leave everything else in the past." I said.
