Bright and early the next day, Faith and I left to go pick up our stuff at the Hotel, before having to quickly get a move on to the next state in our schedule. The Raw after WrestleMania was always an amazing show, so the company had decided to hold it in Brooklyn New York this year, as we always have a massive turn out down there, and lots of press as quote a few of the talent on the roster are from Brooklyn too. We had an early flight to catch, and I was really excited to go with Faith by my side every step of the way. That's when she dropped the bombshell on me....

FAITH POV:

We had just pulled into the hotel car park, and both got out when I stopped and said ''Roman?''

''Yes baby'' he said, turning in his seat and smiling and smiling at me.

''I'm...I'm not coming with you.''

''What?! Why, what do you mean?'' he asked staring at me in confusion.

''I wanted to tell you yesterday, but so much was happening, and I just wanted to have the perfect night with you'' I said, looked down at my feet '' I guess what I'm trying to say is....I've been suspended Roman for two weeks effective immediately'' I breathed, and slowly looked up at him, to see his eyes wide with shock!

''No. No no no! They can't do this to you!'' he said running round to my side of the car and holding me comfortingly in his arms ''um, look, let's just go ok, and, and I will speak to Hunter and Stephanie when we get there'' he nodded ''hell, I'll speak to the whole McMahon family if I have to!'' he said, clenching his jaw and getting quite upset now ''They'll listen to me, I'm sure of it, and then we ca-''

''Baby, you're so sweet'' I said putting my up finger to his lips.

''...but-'' he protested.

''Baby it's done'' I said looking at him seriously, because I didn't want him trying to fight this and make things worse, possibly for both of us. And I didn't need him fighting my corner either. What I needed was to take my punishment like a man, and that's exactly what I intended to do. I softened my eyes though to let him know all was okay, as I could see him starting to hurt all over again, and that just broke my heart ''look at it this way baby, its only two weeks which is not long''

''...but'' he tried protesting again.

''No 'buts' I told him ''I mean surely you didn't expect Stephanie to just let this go without some sort of consequence did you?'' he remained quiet ''Exactly. I messed up, and pretty badly too, and on the biggest stage that our profession holds, Wrestlemania. I'm actually lucky to still have my job Roman. Personally, I think two weeks is actually a very light punishment considering'' I said, then took another deep breath as I looked up at him ready to deliver the real punishment of my suspension...No, I can't, I just can't. That look on your face Roman tells me it's best not to even mention anything about the $10,0000 dollar fine. I'm pretty sure he'd have a nervous breakdown with worry over how I was being punished. He was blinded with love for me, and while that was beautiful for us, I'm pretty sure Stephanie doesn't feel that way about me. The fine stands, and that it.

''But...what am I going to do without you all this time?'' he asked, looking me sadly with big puppy dog eyes.

My heart broke! But I smiled widely and tried to be brave for him ''Oh you big baby'' I joked, but my voice broke mid-sentence ''Its only two weeks, and to answer yurt question, you're going go back to work and kick ass like you always do'' I said, rubbing his arm reassuringly ''you're going to brush off whatever rumors and gossip that's going around the locker room, hand with the boys who I know will look after you. And as for you and I, we're going to keep in touch constantly with these'' I said shaking my phone at him.

''What are you going to do?'' he asked quietly.

''Oh I dunno, visit Paige, take some downtime, maybe visit my old therapist'' I laughed.

''That's not funny'' he sulked.

''Maybe not, but it's going to be ok baby, I promise. And you know, maybe Stephanie was right, I should use this time off to sort out my issues, so I can come back stronger and better than ever before'' I smiled. It killed me to see the look on his face, so dug around in my brain for something to make him happy...

''We can always have phone sex....'' I whispered naughtily in his ear.

He looked down at me and smiled weakly ''I can't even bare to be away from you one day. How am I going to survive two weeks apart?'' I sighed sadly.

''Roman, you have to be strong, for yourself, and for me too. We're still together baby, we have each other no matter what. No one and nothing can break us now, because I love you, and you love me, and no matter what happens in our lives, that's all we really need'' I smiled softly at him ''We will call and message each other every day, I promise. And I will keep up with the show, and watch all of your matches. I will also keep you informed of my whereabouts and what I'm doing ok. Two weeks will fly by just like that, you'll see''' I assured him.

He took my face in his hands and kissed me passionately ''This chapter of our life is just the beginning baby...'' he whispered.

*****

After booking myself a couple more extra nights at the hotel, so I could figure out where to go and what to do on my two weeks off, I went upstairs with Roman to help him pack. Hmmm...I thought looking around our neat tidy room ...I'm pretty sure I didn't leave it like this yesterday I pondered, noticing the beds were both nicely made, and my suitcase which I had thrown across the room in my angry state, along with all my clothes and belongings inside, were all nice and neatly folded in one corner. I checked the door knob again, and saw that the 'Do Not Disturb sign was still on the door....Seth I thought smiling quietly to myself...that boy is all sorts of surprises recently.

I sat down on my bed while Roman packed, and looked at my phone for the first time since yesterday. My inbox was full, and my twitter page had blown up like crazy! Oh boy, I can only imagine what everyone was saying! I thought. I noticed that Paige had also rang and messaged me like a gazillion times already. I had no idea what she was going to say, and all of a sudden I felt nervous of her reaction. I closed my phone and sighed heavily, deciding instead to just call and message everybody back later when I got my head clear, because right now, my priority was to say goodbye to Roman and in a comfortable happy setting.

''Well, I'm all packed'' he sighed miserably.

I walked over to him, and embraced him in a warm hug ''I miss you already'' I whispered.

''Oh god baby, this is too hard already! Because I miss you so much too'' he whispered back. Just then his back pocket vibrated, and he took his phone out and scanned it.

''Its next week's schedule....'' said, and suddenly a big smile formed across his face as he ducked down and gave me a massive big kiss, before reaching in his other back pocket, and pulled out his home keys. He took two off of the bunch, and placed them gently into my hands...

''I want you to go to my home baby, and wait for me there'' he grinned widely ''Hunter has given me 4 days off in a row next week, which I never get! I guess he and Stephanie know I'd want to spend time with you while you're off. So, if it's ok with you baby, I want you to go there and make yourself comfortable, you remember where everything is right?'' and I nodded happily, and quiet excitedly too! ''I'll fly out after my last match next week, then and come and spend my time off with you, how does that sound babygirl?'' he beamed happily.

I looked up at him, with so much love in my eyes as I smiled happily too and said ''Like the perfect plan''

He picked me up and hugged me tightly in his arms ''my god, I love you so much you know that'' he said spinning me around.

''I do, and I love you too baby, I really really do!'' I smiled, wrapping my arms round his neck and kissing his lips hard just as the door knocked.

''Let me...'' I said, bounding over to open it.

''Hey'' Seth said as soon as I opened the door. He was stood there in a tight black tee shirt, with his blue headphones round his neck, smiling me up and down like he usually does, with his baseball cap on backwards and a cute grin on his face ''....I thought I heard movements in there'' he said, trailing his eyes down to my lips ''I hope you don't mind but I uh...I got your number from Dean, and I've been trying to call you Faith and check if you're ok. Look, I dunno where you went last night, but I was worried like hell about you, and, have you seen my cigarettes by the way caus-''

''Sssshhh!'' I said, quickly stepping out into the hall with him and closing the door behind me slightly ''It's nice to see you too Seth, and hey'' I said, grinning up at him sheepishly ''yeah, I'm sorry for running off like that yesterd-''

''Why ssh?'' he said, instantly cutting me off trying to look inside.

''Um...'' I began to say.

''Hey man'' Roman said, coming to the door all of a sudden with his suitcase in hand ''you ready to go?''

''Oh'' Seth said, darting his eyes between Roman and I.

I immediately looked down.

''I mean yeah sure, we're all set. In fact Dean's next door and he's been like looking for you like everywhere man'' he told Roman.

''Yeah I figured as much'' Roman said with a yikes expression on his face ''okay, be back in a sec baby'' he said, leaving his suitcase by me and pecking me on the lips, before going next door to see Dean.

Seth turned to me with a cold expression on his face ''That didn't take you long'' he said rudely.

''What's it to you? You had your chance to kiss me yesterday Rollins, and you blew it, so'' I snapped back just as coldly.

''Hey, that's not what this is about! I was worried that's all'' he snapped back ''but now that we're on the subject, you got a lot of front girl you know that?!'' he said, placing his hands on his hips, giving me a sour expression.

''Excuse me?!'' I said, folding my arms across my chest and staring up at him in disbelief.

''It's okay I see how it is, now that you and Roman have made up, it's back to kicking Seth's ass again is that it? Smh! I actually don't even know what I saw in you in the first place'' he said venomously.

''Seth I'm...I'm sorry alight'' I told him honestly, because I really did appreciate him helping me out yesterday, and that was the truth ''look, my defenses are still up a little. I guess I just thought that maybe you were going to start judging me again or something. I feel bad enough as it is ok'' I told him ''and here'' I smiled, cheekily giving him back his cigarettes.

''Keep it'' he sighed, smiling slightly ''I need to quit anyways'' then his face suddenly got serious, and he began staring at me in that old familiar way he used to do. I watched as he took a step closer, backing me up into my room, before leaning his face down to mine....

''No'' I said quietly ''I'm with Roman Seth, and I love him. I really do ok. And you're with Summer now. These 'close calls' between us can't happen anymore alright? I mean it Seth, no more'' I said, looking up at him seriously. He slowly placed his hands on his hips, his eyes still staring down at me intently as he said said ''There's something between us Faith, a connection that you're not allowing yourself to see....maybe one day you will'' he said quietly, then left.

What the fuck did that mean! I thought irritably.

Just then Roman came back with Dean by his side, who immediately ran over and hugged me for dear life...then to the disapproval of Roman, he slapped me on the back lightly, and said that it was the best Wrestlemania match he had ever seen in his life! I smiled at his humor, but at the same time felt my face burning up as I was incredibly embarrassed now. After talking a little more, I said my goodbye to the boys, then goodbye to Roman.

''I can't wait see you next week in Pensacola baby. God I'm gonna miss you so much until then!'' I told him.

''Not more than me babygirl, next week cannot come quick enough'' he whispered.

''Come on man, let's go!'' Seth hissed from behind him.

I frowned over at him, but he just ignored me.

''I gotta go now baby. But I will call you the second we land ok. Make sure you watch the show tonight, I'm gonna wink in the camera for you'' he said, giving me that cute sideways grin I love so much ''I love you Faith, with all my heart''

''I love you too Roman, and I'll be watching don't worry. Now go, before I start to cry again'' I smiled.

We kissed one last time, and I watched as The Shield all left down the hall, and into the lift. I closed the door quickly and opened up the window to have a cigarette, and honestly it was the best one I ever had!

*****

I jumped up when I heard the door knocking.

''Housekeeping?'' the maid called from the other side of the wooden structure.

I looked at my watch...four in the afternoon?! Oh man, I must have fallen asleep I thought rubbing my head groggily

''No thank you!'' I called back, although I could have sworn I left the Do Not Disturb sign on the door...Oooh Seth, you Little stinker!

I sat up now and checked my phone...oh my goodness, there was like twice as many calls, texts, tweets etc than before! I took a deep breath, and closed my eyes for second trying to get myself focused...Ok, first things first...I thought, I need to email Stephanie and shamefully ask her if I can pay my fine in installments. After that, I sat for what seemed like hours on end, replying to all the tweets, texts, messages, calls and emails from everyone. The fallout from Mania hit home pretty hard, as I began reading the many tweets and comments from everyone on social Media. To be honest, I don't know what upset me most...the negative comments, or the comments from people supporting what I'd done. People had even started doing polls on the matter, it was all just so crazy! There was also another pole, one that was trying to get people to vote on what I'd whispered to Summer in her ear onstage...some were saying it was ''I'm going to get you for what you did to Paige'' while others were saying I'd said something about Roman, and they followed it up with a clip of the footage mouthing what looked like Romans name...pft! God damn hdtv! I tutted to myself.

By the time I was done responding and reading everything, my fingers had cramped and my head was killing me. I decided to kick back a bit, and finally catch up with what else had gone down at WrestleMania after I left. I saw that Big Red actually went on to defeat Nikki Bella for the Divas championship...like her ego needed any more of a boost, am I right?

There was also a rumor speculating that Nikki may have injured her neck as well during the match...#Divas curse! I thought miserably. On the guys side, Bray wasn't so lucky in his title match against Broc Lesnar, he was F fived like 10 times in a row! Then sent to Suplex City about 6 times before the three count. I sat watching in awe as Mr. Heyman took to the mike in defense of his client, who everyone had started booing after his win. He killed it out there, delivering the WWE Universe with a promo so awesome, everyone actually started cheering Broc on in the end. Dean unfortunately lost out on the Intercontinental Title, due to outside interference from Eric Rowan. I told him not to sign into a no DQ match, he should have listened to me. I was of course so happy and proud for Roman that he was still the United States Champion, despite almost locking lips earlier with his opponent.

Even though some of my friends were down and out in their matches, I was the only one that had really lost at Mania that day...my goodness, I miss it all so much already I sighed to myself.

I lay my head back on the pillow, enjoying the silence fill my head as I let my body relax. Half an hour later I sat up feeling terribly hungry, and decided to go down and have something to eat in the hotel's restaurant. Plus, it would be good to stretch my legs and get out of the room for a while.

Once down there, I decided to pig out and order the Texas house special...I may as well go all out country while I'm here I grinned to myself. The restaurant was so nice too, with its big windows, and fancy tables and chairs. And the food, mmnn....the food smelt amazing! My stomach rumbled as I watched waiter after waiter bringing out large plates of food to other diners, and I sat there enjoying my alone time, allowing myself to clear my head, and process my thoughts clearly.

I looked over when I saw a nice looking family walk in, the mom and dad had two kids with them, who all rushed over to the large empty table next to mine, and jumped up on the seats.

''Mummy mummy, over here!'' The little girl screeched loudly.

''Just sit quietly, we'll be over in a sec once we've ordered'' she called from the counter.

I smiled happily when I noticed the older sibling, who was bouncing in the seat next to her younger sister, wearing my ''Just Have A Little Faith'' tee-shirt, in a cute kiddy size which just looked so adorable on her...aww, look at her little purple clip on curls too I smiled, watching warmly as they both began playing around with each other on the seats. All of a sudden, the one wearing my tee-shirt took one of the large pepper shakers from the table and smacked her younger sister over the head with it! The little girl held her head on her hands, and began crying uncontrollably as she ran towards her momma.

''Jessica!'' the mom snapped when she saw what the older sibling had done, followed by immediately storming over and spanking her hand for the incident.

''Ooww!'' she screamed, pouting angrily at her mom.

''You don't hit your sister like that!'' the mom snapped ''do you undestand?!''

''But Mommy I was being Faith, and Melissa was supposed to be Summer an-''

''I don't care!'' she said ''my god John, I told you not to let them watch the damn wrestling!'' the mum said, angrily turning towards her husband.

''It's just a show sweetie, it's not real'' he exclaimed, not looking all that bothered.

''Looked pretty real on the news this morni....'' her voice trailed off as she looked over at me.

Shit...!

''Hey, don't I know you from somewhere?'' she asked curiously.

''No ma'am'' I said, quickly scooting from my seat and running out the restaurant at top speed, almost bumping into my waiter on the way who called after me and said ''Ma'am? Ma'am what about your food?'' but I was already gone.

I let out a huge sigh, and slumped against the wall of the lift as it closed behind me...my god Faith, this is the impression your making on young kids? It was disgusting! I was disgusting! And once again I felt so ashamed of myself.

I quickly ran into my room, and ordered room service, never once leaving the room until it was time to check out the next day.
