CHAPTER 15
We pulled into the Hotels underground car park, and I quickly ran up to reception to get us all signed in, while Roman and Paige helped Faith with her luggage.
''Here are our keys guys'' I said quickly chucking Faith and Roman theirs, as I really wanted alone time with Paige before the guys came up, hoping Roman would maybe wanna hang out with Faith and get her settled in, before coming over to our room as we usually shared together to cut costs.
''Actually...'' Paige said turning to me ''change of plans babe, Faith and I are gonna room together tonight, so it's just you and the boys I'm afraid'' she winked, batting her long lashes at me and giving me a cute look.
''What?! Sweetheart when were you gonna tell me that?!'' I exclaimed.
''Um...right now?'' she smiled biting her lip innocently at me, knowing very well I couldn't resist her when she did that.
''But, Seth snores! And...and...Roman sleeps naked!'' I whined throwing my hands up in the air!
''Hey man I do not sleep naked!'' Roman laughed nervously, his eyes immediately looking over at Faith, who right now was in absolute fits of laughter!
''Thanks man'' he groaned slapping me upside my head.
''Baby, they do all those things even when I am there, so what's the difference?'' she chuckled, cutely ruffling my fringe.
''Yeah, but I don't notice it as much'' I moaned.
''Aww, come on Deano'' Paige said stepping closer to me ''look, it's the least I can do for standing her up alright, besides I actually want to get to know her better, and catch her up on stuff you know?''
''You mean you ladies wanna gossip, about us guys no doubt'' I grinned, playfully rolling my eyes at her.
She bit her lip for me again ''put that dimple away Mr. Ambrose, otherwise I may have to pay you a naked late night visit...'' she winked, and blew me a kiss while stepping back seductively, making me want her even more...
I immediately put my arms out like a G, giving her that cute sideways grin I know she loves ''ain't nuthin' wrong with that doll face'' I winked.
She ran back and hugged me, kissing me on my dimple, as Faith and Roman watched in silence...oh man I swear, it'll only be a matter of time for those two....I smiled, looking over at them both.
''Alright babe'' I said to Paige giving her my cutest puppy dog look ''we'll leave you ladies to it. Faith, were all glad you're here, look after my gal, and uh... I'll look after yours'' I chuckled, nodding over at Roman, who looked unimpressed with my humor ''I'm glad you're part of the team now, and don't listen to nuthin' Paige says 'bout me...cause they're all true, ha ha. So, I guess it's goodnight ladies, sleep well, and see ya in the A.M''
I turned to Roman and gave him a bro slap on the back ''C'mon man, let's go get that cold beer you were talking about'' I said, but he was just standing there like his feet were glued to the ground while staring at Faith ''Come on'' I said, practically having to drag him by the shirt to make him move.
''Night baby girl'' Roman yelled out to Faith over his shoulder as I dragged him with me to the bar.
FAITH POV:
''Dean is so funny'' I said to Paige, still giggling away at his crazy humor as we walked down the long corridor toward our room ''...and he's clearly head over heels about you girl'' I winked, making Paige beam brightly ''You're really lucky to have such a nice guy like that'' I gushed.
''Aw thanks babe, you're so sweet'' she sang happily ''I really don't know what I would do without him, he's been my rock through everything, and I just love him so much'' she told me with lovey dovey eyes.
''Aww don't Saraya, you're gonna make me cry'' I smiled sweetly at her.
''You could have the same thing with Roman you know....'' she smiled cheekily ''I know its early days, but he's clearly got a thing for you girl. And if I were you, I'd would get in there quick before anyone else does, as Romans a real descent guy babe, and there's not too many out there like him, believe me"
"I don't doubt you" I smiled softly.
"He asked for you by the way" she grinned at me.
"He did?" I asked surprised.
"Yep! And I guess it's true what they say: you only have one chance to make a first impression, and you certainly made one on him girl" she winked at me.
"Well that's sweet" I smiled shyly.
"To tell you the truth Faith, and this is just between you and me, I've actually never seen him this way with anyone before'' she exclaimed.
I paused looking down at the floor ''I can't'' I said quietly ''don't get me wrong Saraya, I mean he's a real lovely guy, an absolute gentleman too, and of course soooooo handsome! And I had so much fun hanging out with him today, but I don't want any man near me ever again....I mean that'' I said, stealing a nervous glance at her face, and I could see her looking at me worriedly, but with curious interest too ''besides, I'm here to be a WWE Diva'' I said quickly before she could ask me any questions ''...not to hook up with the first good looking wrestler that passes me by'' I continued.
Paige looked at me a bit taken back, but I was grateful she didn't push me any further on the matter. Instead she just nodded and said ''well if you need to talk babe, about anything....I'm here, ok''
''Thank you Saraya'' I smiled, just as we reached our hotel room.
After unpacking our belongings, Paige and I stayed up 'till about 2:00am gossiping back and forth about everyone and everything. She had quickly gotten me up to speed on the 'ins' and 'outs' of being a WWE Diva, and what it was like to work with Stephanie, and what would be expected of me. But more importantly...all the juicy backstage gossip, ha ha!
I was particularly looking forward to the 'meet and greet' Stephanie had set up for me tomorrow with everyone down at the arena. But right now, feeling jet lagged from the long flight, and completely exhausted form the LA heat, I was absolutely beat and ready for bed.
I looked over at the soft glow of Paige's cell gently illumination her side of the room, and saw she was texting away on her cell with a happy smile on her face...Dean most likely I smiled to myself.
I turned over and set my alarm, as Paige and I were gonna hit the gym first thing in the morning, before meeting up with Stephanie at the arena in the afternoon for the 'meet and greet' where she'd also go over the details for my 'WWE Live' debut.
''Babe, you asleep?'' Paige whispered over to me.
''Not yet'' I replied turning my head ''Why?''
''I'm just gonna pop next door quickly and say night to my Deano, I'll be back in 5 ok''
''Okay'' I said smiled, and snuggled myself comfortably into the duvet ready to enjoy my sleep.
HALF AN HOUR LATER...
Knock knock...knock knock...
''Saraya....? That you?'' I croaked groggily, quickly sitting up in the dark as the faint knocking continued.
knock...knock...knock...knock...
''Just come in, what you knocking for silly'' I groaned, while dragging the covers off me and leaning over to turn the bedside lamp on...maybe she forgot her key or something I thought.
I rubbed my head sleepily while making my way over to the door, catching my reflection in the dresser mirror as I passed...oh great! So it's not just my mirror back home that makes me look a royal mess I thought grumpily.
knock...knock...
''Okay girl I'm coming, I'm coming'' I groaned, walking a bit faster toward the door ''ooh ouch!'' I yelped as I stubbed my toe on the coffee table ''seriously, I may as well still be at home'' I muttered to myself.
I finally made it to the door without incident, and I opened it up mumbling ''Saraya why are you knoc-Roman?!'' I stood there confused, and a little horrified at the same time with him seeing me looking such an awful mess.
''Ba..by g...irl...hiccup!'' he stuttered wobbling against the door frame.
I immediately folded my arms across my chest and looked up at him ''Are you drunk?'' I asked with a raised eyebrow.
''Nah girl, I'm just drunk...hiccup!''
I looked him up and down and giggled, as his hair and clothes looked worse than mine right now.
''Paige kicked Se..Seth and me out, and...and...I...uh, never got to say g'night to you properly...'' he stumbled again, this time almost falling on top of me, so I held him round the waist, and carefully guided him to the chair in our room.
''Ok you sit there...now tell me what happened'' I said, looking at him sternly.
''Well...Paige ki...kicked me and Seth out, she said she's rooming with you tonight, but wants to quickly say night to Dean in private, if you know what I mean...so I...we said, we'll give you like... 10 minutes, so I thought I would come... come say night to my babygirl'' he said, smiling that cute sideways smile at me, although it was more funny than cute this time, as Roman was completely wasted.
''Just how many drinks did you and Dean have ?'' I questioned him.
''Only a couple beers...hiccup!''
''Then how come you're this drunk?'' I questioned.
''Well...after we came back from the bar, Seth was already in our room, and he had a case full of beeeeer, and some extra whiskaaay...oh man...I really shouldn't have rank so much, hiccup! But...all I could think about is...I wish my baby girl was here...hiccup! HICCUP!'' and he reached out to me, but fell smack on the floor!
I immediately burst into fits of laughter!
''Are you ok Roman?'' I asked, still laughing as I tried helping him up. My god he was so heavy!
''Oh yeah, it's all good...it's all good baby'' he mumbled, placing his arm round my shoulder in support, as I carefully helped him over to my bed, and he flopped down on it with a thud!
''I'm gonna get you some water, you need to wash away some of that alcohol away'' I said, still laughing after him.
I looked round the room for a clean glass, and finally found one in the hotels mini bar. I quickly filled it up with bottled water also from the bar, and made my way back over to Roman who was now sitting upright on my bed, with his head in his hands.
''You ok Roman...?'' I asked, gently placing my hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me smiling ''apart from this headache that's coming on, I'm more than ok'' he smiled warmly.
''Here, drink this'' I said handing him the water, while placing the back of my hand against his forehead to check his temperature ''it'll make you feel better ok'' I said, looking at him concerned.
''You're an angel you know that?'' he smiled looking up at me.
''An angel that's very tired'' I said jokingly.
''Oh man, I'm so sorry, you were sleeping of course, and I woke you up...oooh, I'm so sorry babygirl'' he said apologizing profusely ''I better take my drunk ass back...hiccup... to my room'' he groaned, attempting to get up on his own, although still stumbling a little ''but if it's any const...consella..constalla...you know what I mean...Dean looks way worse than me'' he laughed loudly.
''It's ok Roman, you make a funny drunk anyways. Come on, I'll walk you back to your room, and then I'm trading you in for a less drunk Paige'' I laughed as I walked to the door and waited for him.
He got up, and slowly made his way over to me, holding on to every piece of furniture on the way. I was about to open the door to let us out, when he gently pushed it back shut behind me.
''Is there a problem Roman?'' I asked nervously looking up at him.
''Just one'' he said taking a step closer...
''Uh...what's that?'' I said looking up at him shyly.
''I want a hug'' he smiled down at me.
''A hug?'' I chuckled.
''A hug'' he smiled again.
''Okay, but if I give you a hug, then will you promise me to go back to your room?'' I asked, trying to not to laugh at him still stumbling a little.
''I'll do whatever you want...just hug me babygirl'' he whispered, stepping even closer now. I felt my heart racing nervously inside my chest, but I just passed it off by giggling at him and playfully rolling my eyes ''Ok you big ol' drunk, come here'' I grinned, extending my arms out to embrace him in a nice warm hug.
He wrapped his arms around me, and pulled me up close against his body ''mmmm...'' I heard him groan softly against my ear, and I felt my entire body shiver as his hands gently released me, and traveled slowly down toward my waist as he gazed into my eyes ''Thank you baby girl, that was sweet'' he whispered, and gently tilted my chin up so I was looking at him directly ''...just like you'' smiled, and slowly leaned down where he placed a very sweet and very soft kiss onto my cheek ''Goodnight Faith'' Then just like a true gentleman, he let himself out, and shut the door behind him.
I stood there, dumbfounded.
I knew right there and then I could no longer deny my feelings for Roman.
knock..knock...knock...
I smiled, biting my lip nervously...hmm one hug not enough for ya huh? I thought, as I opened the door again with my best smile on...
''Seth?! What are you doing here?'' I whispered, quickly peeking my head out the door and looking down both sides of the corridor for either Roman or Paige.
''Oh my bad, I thought this was my room'' he said looking me up and down slowly ''Your Faith right?''
I nodded.
''Yeah, we met back at headquarters...''
''Yes, I remember'' I replied, stepping back slightly .
''So, how you doing?'' she asked, leaning his arm on the doorframe while looking down at me with a slow seductive smile.
''Yes, I'm good thank you'' I said, wanting to remain polite, but really I just wanted to go back to sleep.
''That's good, so uh...I didn't know you were staying in this hotel'' he said, looking me up and down again, which was a complete lie as Roman had just said Paige kicked them both out 'cause she was rooming with me tonight, and just quickly wanted to say night to Dean.
''Yeah, I'm rooming with Paige'' I told him ''...have you seen her?'' I asked, hoping he would leave to go bring her back here.
''No'' he said, not taking his eyes from mine.
Why are you staring at me like that Seth? You're making me nervous! I honestly didn't know where to look right now, especially as he was stood at my door completely shirtless which a whole other distraction in itself.
He seemed to read my mind.
''I'm sorry'' he said, replacing his intense stare with a warm smile ''I'm a little drunk right now'' he chuckled ''me and the boys got a bit wasted tonight, I guess the next room must be ours'' he smiled ''Well while I'm here, welcome to the team Faith'' he winked ''I'll see you around'' and with one last slow look up and down my body, Seth turned and headed onto his room. I watched him the entire time, mainly just to make sure he was completely gone...that was weird I thought.
I continued to watch as he opened his hotel room door, and in that instant, Paige quickly bounced out with her hair in a mess, giggling like a naughty schoolgirl ''You can come back in now boys'' she said happily, while looking back into their room one last time as she said ''goodnight my sexy Deano''
''Night babe!'' I heard him yelling back.
Just then I Roman came out of the lift ''Hey guys, I ordered pizza'' he yelled out to Seth as he wobbled over to their room, ''Hey yo! Hold the door man'' he moaned, trying to balance the pizza in one hand, while reaching for the door before it closed.
Without a seconds hesitation, I quickly grabbed Paige's arm and yanked her back inside our room ''Never leave me again!'' I exclaimed, so happy to see her.
