70.
The following morning, I woke up and suddenly realized that she wasn't laying next to me. I started to grow more concerned until I heard the door beginning to open. There stood Chloe as she walked into the bedroom with a smile on her face and she presented me a surprise breakfast in bed.
"Good morning, baby." I yawned, "How come you're bringing me breakfast in bed?"
"I know you're about to leave and head back to the ring and I wanted to make you something to eat before you left."
"Aww baby. You didn't have to do all that."
"I wanted to. You're my husband after all."
Husband. That was something I was more than excited to become in a few weeks. I started to flash a smile as she laid the breakfast tray on my lap.
"I love this so much, baby." I said, "And I love the little napkin on the side. I love you too."
I started to eat the small pancakes and drank some orange juice before I went to do my normal morning routine. Chloe was the best fiancรฉe that I could ever ask for. I've never asked for a breakfast in bed, but she always goes out of her way for me and that's something that I've never had in the past.
After I was finished eating, I sat up from the bed and sat it on the kitchen counter as I pressed my lips against Chloe's cheek while she was washing some plates from last night when our friends were over.
"Hey, I'll wash the dishes." I insisted.
"Are you sure? I just want to make you..."
"Baby, you already make me the happiest man alive. Here, let me wash them for you. I want you to relax."
"Okay." She smiles, "I'll meet you in the living room."
She walks into the living room while I started cleaning off the dishes for her.
After I finished washing the dishes, I went back to our bathroom and finished up my morning routine. As usual, trimming my beard, cleansing my face and taking a shower before I had to say my goodbyes to Chloe before I left.
When it was time to head out to New York, I looked at Chloe with a warm smile on my face.
"Hey babe. I have to get going, but I'll be back as soon as possible." I say, holding her in my embrace.
"I can't wait for you to come back. I'll still call and text you while you're on the road, Joe."
"That'll work with me. Just stay safe for me, alright?"
I brought Chloe closer into my embrace once more before having to leave. I was always concerned about her safety ever since the incident with Joshua and Galina. With Joshua being dead and Galina in prison for many years to come, I think Chloe would be fine.
... I hope.
Before leaving the house, I stepped into my Range Rover and then heard Chloe yell out, "Stop!"
I rolled down the window and asked, "What's wrong, babe?"
"You forgot something."
She handed me a small box that contained some food that she had packed for me and it was a lot of my favorite snacks for the road.
"Thanks, baby."
"You're welcome. I'll miss you!"
"I'll miss you too." I smiled.
As she went back inside of the house, I pulled out of the driveway and began my lengthy trip down to New York City with my Universal Championship and the WWE Heavyweight Championship at my side.
Chloe
While I watched Joe pull out of the driveway and head out for awhile, I was already beginning to miss him. It was a blessing that he had some time off to spend some quality time with me for awhile, but it was time for me to make my return to Victoria's Secret as I was on the road to becoming a model and partaking in the upcoming fashion show.
After a few hours passed, I stepped into the workplace for the first time in awhile. I was greeted by all of my co-workers and I bumped into Vanessa as she was folding some clothes.
"Hey Vanessa!"
"Chloe! It's been a minute. How are you feeling?" She says, "Because your best friend, Emma, said that you were injured badly and I was worried sick about you."
"It was hectic, but I'm better than ever. I missed you!"
"I missed you too! Also, congratulations on the engagement, girl! You never told me that your man was in the WWE and it happened to be Roman Reigns!"
I smiled, "I was laying low about it in the beginning, but he's been amazing to me and I've never been any happier."
"I am so proud of you, Chloe. You finally have a good man in your life!" She reels me into a hug, "When's the wedding?"
"July twenty-fourth."
"I'll definitely be there. I shouldn't be working on that day anyways."
"Joe and I would be thrilled to have you at the wedding. I know you two haven't really met, but he'd love to meet you."
"I can't wait to meet him. You two already seem like the perfect couple together." She paused, "I forgot to mention that while you were gone, some of the co-workers were talking about the upcoming Victoria's Secret Fashion Show! Are you still planning to participate?"
"I'd be more than happy to. I've been wanting to become a model for them for years and it's always been my dream for the longest time."
"And I can see you winning the entire thing. You're beautiful, you have a fiancรฉ who is known worldwide, you have what every other girl dreams of; and to make your dreams come true? Make it happen, Chloe."
"I will! There's no doubt."
We continued to work our shift until it was time to head back home. While I stepped into the vehicle and drove back to my house, I was stopped by a police officer shortly after.
When I pulled over, I stopped the car and there came a police officer as he approached my window and looked at me. He looked about to be a lot older than me as his hair and beard were beginning to turn grey in color.
"License and registration."
I went into my glovebox and handed him my drivers license and the registration to my car as he examined it carefully.
"You know, you were going a little too fast on the road, Miss."
"I was in a rush to get home after a long day at work."
"Where do you work at?"
"Victoria's Secret."
"Oh, that little place that sells lingerie and clothes?"
I nodded, "Yeah."
I was starting to get nervous when a smirk began to form on his face.
"You know, you're a fine ass woman..." He looked at my license, "Ms. Levine."
"Thank you, but I have a fiancรฉ."
His smirk began to fade after mentioning about my fiancรฉ. Little did he know, my fiancรฉ was Joe. And he would've beaten his ass regardless if he was in the car with me.
"I see." He sighed, "Because you're a beautiful woman, I'll let you off the hook."
"Thank you, sir."
Then the officer walked away and drove off after handing me everything back. I sat in my car for a moment and tried to process everything that just happened. I guess pretty privilege is a real thing.
Before I turned my car back on, my phone began to vibrate and it was Joe. I accepted the call and he went straight to video.
"Hey."
He smiles, "What's up, baby?"
"Eh, kind of."
He paused and his eyebrows began to furrow in concern, "Chloe. Are you okay?"
"Yeah! I'm just...surprised at what just happened to me."
"What happened?"
"Long story short, I just left work and I was on my way back to the house and a cop stopped me for a moment. He was starting to flirt with me until I told him that I had a fiancรฉ and he stopped from there. But he said I was a fine ass woman and let me go without writing me a ticket. I was kind of in a hurry to get home because Zeus has been left alone for awhile."
"First off, he ain't wrong. Secondly, I would have beaten his ass if I was there because you're my girl and I'm not sharing you with nobody." He smiles.
"I know you would. I was starting to get nervous until he left the area. Maybe it's because of my past experiences."
"I can't blame you, baby." He sighs, "Stay on the phone with me until you're back home."
"I can do that."
He smiled, "Good. I just want to make sure you're home safely before I have to get some sleep for the night."
"You're the sweetest, Joe."
I turned on my car and started to make my way back to our home. I was more than ready to get back into my bed, have Zeus cuddled up next to me and reading a book before heading off to sleep.
I missed Joe so much, but he was always concerned about my well-being when he couldn't be home with me. He always worried about my mental health since the situation with our ex-lovers and the miscarriage. He didn't want me to feel unsafe when he wasn't around and always checked-in.
After I parked my car into the garage, I locked everything from the car, to the garage, to the doors and went inside of the house while I stayed on the phone with Joe.
"How was work?" He asked.
"It was good. Vanessa and I are excited because I'm entering the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show and she believes that I'll win."
"I know you would." He licked his lips and playfully bit his lip, "There's no doubt there, baby."
"Also, Vanessa is excited to meet you at the wedding. She always knew I had a boyfriend, but I never told her who; because I didn't know if you wanted me to tell her at the time, and she couldn't believe her eyes when she realized it was you." I paused, "How was work for you?"
He chuckled, "It was the usual. But I'm sure she was in for a surprise." He paused, "And Chloe, I need to get off of here and get some rest for the night. Please stay safe tonight. I love you."
"I love you too, and I'll stay safe."
After we hung up the call for the night, I realized that my phone's battery was beginning to drain a lot and I plugged it into the outlet to charge for awhile. In the meantime, I went to read a book for awhile and then went to the bathroom and did my usual nightly routine before heading off to sleep.
While I brushed my teeth, took a shower, cleaned off my face and made sure that Zeus was taken care of before I went to sleep, I crawled into my bed and started missing Joe heavily. This was the first night in awhile that he wasn't next to me in the bed and it felt empty and lonesome.
At the same time, I was also thinking of our wedding like I was a little girl again and daydreaming of that special day while telling Emma all about it when we were children. However, I never knew that I'd be getting married to the man of my dreams in a month from now.
I closed my eyes as I pulled my weighted blanket over me and fell asleep for the night; reminiscing on that very night where Joe and I had met backstage at that WWE show.
