23.
Galina
While I was escorted by two police officers to the facility, I wasn't ready to remain behind bars for many years to come. I was flustered and angered at the fact Joe caused this mess.
"You're gonna sit in here until your court date. I can see you going away for a very long time, ma'am."
"Shut your mouth!" I shouted, talking back.
"No, you shut your mouth! If you don't hush, I can make your jail time a lot longer." The officer said with furrowed eyebrows.
I sat down on the cold bench in frustration and huffed, crossing my arms.
During my time in here until the court date, I've been thinking of ways to break out of here and make Joe change his mind about being with that bitch.
Meanwhile...
Chloe
After Joe told me to get dressed for our special dinner celebration together, I didn't hesitate. I walked out in a beautiful, long black dress with some YSL heels that was a gift to me from Emma last year.
I stepped out from the bathroom after finishing my hair to seeing Joe sitting on the couch with a lustful smirk on his face.
"Damn baby, you look stunning." He said, licking his lips.
"Thank you, Joe."
He was dressed in an all-black suit and he looked breathtaking. How was I such a lucky woman to pull a man like him?
"Are you ready to head out, beautiful?" He asked, flashing a smile.
"I'm ready when you are!"
We both left the house and made our way to the fanciest restaurant in Toronto.
After we pulled up into the restaurant, Joe had already made a reservation while I was in the bathroom getting dressed. The waiter escorted us to a private section of the restaurant and we took a seat across from each other.
The place was beautifully lit and I looked around in awe at the lighting, the scenery, and the soft-classical music that was playing in the background.
"Ready to order, baby?"
"I don't want to ask for the expensive food."
"Baby." He looked me in the eyes, "I've told you this many times, you're allowed to order whatever you want and I'll be more than glad to pay. Money isn't an issue with me, remember?"
"I remember. I wouldn't want you to think I'd be taking advantage of you if I ordered expensive meals."
"Nah, I know you'd never do anything like that. You're such a unique woman and that's what I love about you."
"You do?"
He nodded, "I do."
He warmly smiled at me and his eyes met with mine once again.
"Honestly, I can't wait to hear those words someday."
"I do?" I cocked an eyebrow.
"Yeah. I'd love to marry you in the future, Chloe. I know that this is so sudden and fast, but you've given me something that Galina couldn't."
"What's that?" I asked with a smile.
"A woman that isn't a gold digger and loves the smallest of things instead of money. I've heard that's quite rare in a woman nowadays."
"It is, but you'd never have to worry with me."
"I'm thankful that I met you that night at the Toronto show. The moment I first seen you sitting there in the crowd, I immediately felt something towards you. It's hard to describe, but I was more than determined to talk to you after the show; which is why I'm thankful that Emma gave you VIP passes that night because I was finally able to talk to you and get your number. And here we are today."
"I'm thankful for you as well, Joe. I haven't felt this relieved to be with a man in my entire lifetime. And honestly, I'm glad that we met, too. I just didn't know how to truly react that night, given my past with Joshua. I thought you were cute the moment I seen you coming down to the ring for the very first time and I was mesmerized the moment I seen you look over at me."
He smirked, "I have that effect on you and I love it."
"I love it too."
The food was then presented in front of us and we could hear our stomachs growling at the sight of the food.
"Here's your food."
"Thank you." Joe replied.
We both ate our dinner together and focused on continuing our conversation in the process. I really had a deep connection with Joe and there was always something about him that had me crazy for him. However, I had one question that's been crossing my mind and I needed to know.
"Joe, I have a question?"
"What's up?"
"When you pointed your finger towards your chest and looked over at me the night we met, what did you mean by the words acknowledge me?"
He chuckled, "It's a little saying that I use to remain in character. I'm what you'd call the bad guy in the business and I usually tell everyone and everything to acknowledge me."
"That's interesting."
We wrapped up the conversation while finishing our dinner together and was planning to head back home for the night. Joe didn't have to work for awhile, so we had enough time to spend with each other.

While we made it back home, we kicked off our shoes and sat down on the couch. We debated on what to watch because we've watched almost three or more different series together.
Chloe decided to walk into her room and change out of her formal wear and back into her casual graphic T-Shirt and grey sweatpants.
"Even in loungewear, you're still the most beautiful woman in the world."
She blushed, "Thank you!"
We finished off the night relaxing to where we both fell asleep together on the couch. I loved spending time with her and I wish that I could take a longer amount of time off from the ring just to be with her.
The following morning, when it was time to wake up, I noticed that Chloe was still asleep and I didn't want to disturb her. I decided to step into the kitchen and make some breakfast for the both of us to start the day.

I was finally feeling at peace with Joe at my side ever since my ex-boyfriend and his ex-wife were both sent to prison. I felt like I could finally start having the life I deserved.
While I was still asleep, I was quickly woken up to the smell of food being cooked in the kitchen to where the aroma had my stomach growling.
I walked into the kitchen quietly and seen Joe standing in front of the oven in his boxers, no shirt and his hair was tied into a low-bun. He was stunning and watching him cook was somehow attractive to me.
"Baby, I know you're watching me cook." He chuckled, "Come in here. I cooked us some breakfast."
I stepped in and he sat a plate in front of me. I'll admit, this man was an amazing cook and over the time we've been together, I've grown to adore Samoan food.
He took a seat in front of me, "How's the food, baby?"
"It's delicious! You're such an incredible cook, Joe."
"Thank you. I just wanted to make you something special considering the fact today's my last full day here before I have to head back to work."
"This food is definitely to die for, and I understand. I'll be watching for you and I cannot wait to bring Emma to the Royal Rumble with me so we can watch you wrestle. Although we both know she'll still cheer for Colby."
He laughed, "Of course she would, but he's like a brother to me and it's basically just fun and games between the two of us. Thing is, I'm gonna retain anyways."
"Good."
While we proceeded to eat breakfast together and talk about the Rumble in a couple of weeks, we spent the rest of the day relaxing and spending quality time together before Joe had to work tomorrow.
