Roman
At first, I could have sworn I was dreaming that Ashley becoming my girlfriend again. That is, until I woke up in the middle of the night to seeing her laying next to me on this small hospital bed. Thankfully, this wasn't a dream but a reality.

I glanced over at her while moving the hair from her face and planted a small kiss upon her forehead. I remembered that I was knocked out after everything that had happened earlier tonight with the authority. Seth, I couldn't let him put a finger on her because if he were to harm her in any shape or form, I wouldn't be able to control myself for what I would do to him.

Honestly, I never expected Ashley to be ready for a relationship again for almost another a year or two after waking up from her coma. When she said that she was ready to be my girlfriend again earlier tonight, my eyes started to widen after hearing her say those two words with a smile on her face. "I'm ready."

This woman meant so much to me. I never wanted to leave her side when she was almost on the brink of death due to her coma. I've always wanted to see her happy and never having to worry about people such as Seth Rollins or Charlotte Flair. The authority has been doing their hardest to ruin the love that we had for each other, and I couldn't put the pieces together. Why? I fell asleep and kept thinking about everything for almost half an hour while holding her close in my arms.

When the sun started to beam through the window, I opened my eyes and woke up Ashley while I heard a doctor opening the door.

"Oh, Mr. Anoa'i. You're awake!"

"Yeah. Thankfully."

The doctor looked at me and then glanced over to seeing Ashley struggling to wake up next to me in the bed.

"Why is there a woman laying in your hospital bed? You know this isn't allowed."

"I told her that she could. This is my girlfriend and she's the reason I'm in here. She found me and called the ambulance to bring me here after I blacked out."

"Okay? Well, there's good news."

"What's the good news, doc?"

"Well, you're able to leave today because you don't have a concussion or any broken bones."

"That's good to hear."

I looked over at Ashley with a smile on my face and then the doctor cleared his throat.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ashley apologized.

"You're free to leave at anytime, Mr. Anoa'i."

The doctor approached me and slowly removed the IV from my arm.

"Thank you, doctor."

I didn't have any clothes with me and I unfortunately left them back over at the arena. Suddenly, I seen Ashley with my duffel bag from behind my bed and she was looking for a shirt and some sweatpants for me to wear.

"Is that my duffel bag with my clothes and gear inside of it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah. I packed everything while Dolph and Dean picked you up. We rushed outside for the ambulance to bring you here last night."

"You really are the best girlfriend ever, aren't you?"

I looked at her with a smile while I tied my hair back into a bun.

"Hey, Ashley?"

"Yeah?"

"I wanted to know if we could keep our relationship a secret; not from our closest friends. I just don't want the authority to attempt to ruin our relationship again." I asked.

"Of course, I don't want anyone trying to come between us like before."

"I'm glad we have an agreement. Ready to leave?"

"Yeah, let's get us both back to the hotel for awhile."

I didn't want to fully let everyone know about Ashley and I becoming a couple again because of the authority, but I was eager enough to inform Dolph, Ambrose, and Renee at least. I sat down at a nearby bench and seen Ashley picking up her phone, calling Ambrose to pick us up as she put him on speaker.

"Hello?"

"Dean, Roman's awake and we're able to leave right now. Do you think you can come pick the both of us up from the hospital?"

"Of course! I'll be over there shortly!"

Ashley sat next to me and I felt her hand intertwined with mine. I shown a small smile from my face and realized that Ambrose sent her a text saying that he was at the hospital and waiting for us. We both stood, walked outside, and stepped into the car. Dean was quick to to notice her head leaning against my shoulder and her hand was holding onto mine.

"What is this that I'm seeing? Ashley and Roman? Back together? I'm so happy for you both!"

"Yes Ambrose, we're keeping it quiet because of the authority."

"Oh, I understand that."

"Alright, so around WrestleMania I may or may not announce that I'm with Ashley. I just don't want to have Seth or Charlotte getting in between the both of us like before, you know?"

"For their own good, they better leave the both of you alone or else I'm going to end up in prison."

"Ambrose-"

"Rome, I mean it." He said sternly.

Ashley ended up falling asleep again with her head against my shoulder during the ride. She looked so peaceful. However, we stopped at another McDonald's and picked up some fast food and headed back to the hotel. Ambrose left to meet with his girlfriend, Renee. I shook Ashley softly on the shoulder until she opened her eyes.

"Are we back at the hotel?" She rubbed her eyes.

"Yeah and I bought us some McDonald's for us to eat later."

"That's sweet of you, Roman."

"I'll do anything for the woman I love. You always loved McDonald's."

"I did?"

"Mhm. Let's get us back into the hotel." I grinned, picking up the luggage and walked alongside Ashley into the hotel.
