Next Chapter. Here We Go!
"So this is the place." Hayley said to Claire. We walk inside and Claire couldn't believe how beautiful Hayley beach house was.
"This is your place. How come you never told me about this place."
"I guess it never cross my mind. My parents gave it to me in their will when they... Anyways I don't usually come here." She said.
"Do you mind if I take a look around. Maybe pick a room out for me." Claire asked
"Yeah sure but hurry, my brother and his friends are coming over soon."
"Oh. Okay." Claire said and went looking around the house. She went upstairs and found herself a room. She sat down on the bed and sigh. She was free. She didn't have to be near Brian anymore. She got up and unpack some of her stuff. She decided to change into some jeans and put on her favorite t-shirt. She left her room and look around the rest of the house. She found four more bedrooms, a couple of bathrooms and she found an indoor swimming pool. Wow. Was Hayley parents rich or something. Claire heard some deep voices coming from downstairs and went to see who it was.
"So where is she? Where's the princess at?"
Claire stop and smiled. She only new one man who has ever called her princess and she ran down the stairs.
"Dean." She said and ran into his arms.
"It's so great to see you Claire." He said
"You too. I didn't know you would be down here in Florida."
"Yeah well me and Seth thought we'd tag along."
"Wait Seth is here?" Claire asked. Dean smiled and nodded his head. Seth walk inside and Claire spotted him.
"Sethie." She said and ran towards him.
"Hey Curly." He said and hug her, "Woah. Not curly anymore. You cut your hair."
"Yeah. I need a new change."
"Well you still look pretty." Seth said. Claire just smiled. Hayley introduce Claire to Dean and Seth at a party three years ago and they have been friends ever since. They don't see much cause Seth and Dean are always on the road. They are professional wrestlers.
"Where's my big dork of a sister." Someone yelled. Claire look at the doorway and her jaw almost hit the floor.
"Roman." Hayley yelled and ran to him and hug him. Wow this was Hayley brother? He was hot. Claire thought.
"Come meet my friend. Roman this is Claire Stewart, Claire this is my brother Roman Reigns." Hayley said. Roman took his hand out and Claire shook it.
"Nice to meet you Roman."
"You too Claire."
"Gosh Claire I still can't believe how grown up you gotten." Seth said
"Yeah things change Sethie."
"Sethie? Do I even want to know." Roman asked
"It's just a nickname I gave him."
"Yeah and mine for her was curly but not anymore."
"Sorry but I had to cut my hair." Claire said
"And you dyed it." Dean said
"Yes. I'm a blonde now." She said and smiled.
"Hey sis, where can I put my stuff." Roman said.
"Let me show you boys where your sleeping." Hayley said and they follow her. Claire headed to the kitchen and grab some wine. Hayley and the boys came back down stairs and headed to the kitchen where Claire was.
"Claire, already drinking without us." Dean asked and kiss her cheek.
"What? I wanted some wine." Claire said and sip her wine. They all grab some drinks and headed outside on the beach.
"So how long have you know Dean and Seth, Claire." Roman asked
"Your sister introduce us at a party three years ago."
"Yeah and we have been great friends since." Seth said and hug Claire. They all continue to sit and have fun until everyone got tired. Everyone headed to bed. Claire was having trouble sleeping and look at her clock. It was 1 o'clock in the morning. She sigh and through the blankets off her and headed down to the kitchen. She was getting a drink and turn when Roman startled her.
"Oh my god."
"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you." He said
"No it's fine." She said
"You couldn't sleep?" He asked
"No. You?"
"Nope. You wanna sit and chat with me."
"Sure." She said and they went and sat outside.
"So my sister says your down here for vacation." He said. 'Wait? What? Hayley didn't tell him about Brian?'
"Yeah. I need to get away and just relax."
"Well you pick a great place." Roman said
"Have you lived here your whole left?" Claire asked
"I did. I have a big family. Lots of cousins and uncles."
"Not me. I'm the only child."
"Must suck not having any siblings growing up."
"No it was okay. I didn't mind being the only child."
"So where are you originally from. If you don't mind me asking."
"I'm from Chicago." I lied. I didn't want Roman to know the truth. It's not that I don't trust him. I just wanna keep things me and Brian a secret.
"Chicago? Wow. That's an amazing city." Roman said
"Yeah. Go Blackhawks." I said and laugh. Roman look at me and smiled.
"You got a cute laugh." He said. I stop laughing and look over at him, "My sister never told me she had a beautiful friend."
"I'm not beautiful." Claire said and blush.
"Yes you are. Any guy would be lucky to have you." He said. Suddenly Brian came to Claire mind and she started to feel the tears come.
"Hey. Did I say something wrong?" Roman asked
"No. I just never heard a guy call me beautiful before." She said
"Well you are." He said and touch my cheek. I moved away slowly and got up.
"I think I should head back to bed. Thanks for talking with me. Goodnight Roman." She said and went back inside.
"Good night." Roman said and frown. Their was something about her that was drawn to Roman and he intends to find out more about her.
