In Santa Clara , Naomi along with Cameron and Brie were enjoying a lovely breakfast . " So you guys I have some good news … " Cameron began to blush as she picked at her blueberries with her fork " Vinnie and I spoke last night and we kinda of miss each other " Brie quickly rolled her eyes while Naomi tried not to display her confusion " That's great " she smiled " I guess , but what does that mean for you and Roman ? " Brie raised her eyebrow . Cameron rolled her fork over and twisted her tongue before answering " Brie , honey child thank you for saying it before I could " Naomi laughed " I know ya'll are gonna be grilling me and shit , but honestly I think we are better as friends " she tapped her plate . " So he's your friend until somebody else sparks his interest is what you are saying " Brie swirled her straw through her glass of mimosa " You two were just tongue deep down each other's throats last night at the bar " Cameron sucked her teeth and flung her hair " No fucking shit , and I enjoyed every minute of his lips and his hands all over my body . But he's too much of a little boy right now I can't be bothered " Naomi sat there dumbfounded and amazed " Wait what ? " she chuckled
" Hold up you know what , forget I even asked because I am not sure I wanna know what type of games you are playing " she raised her hand and shook her head . " Seriously ? Cameron this is so not like you , I've never known you to act like this . You are playing with Roman's emotions and you made Harlee feel bad for being attracted to him " Brie scolded . Cameron slammed her phone on the table " Why does everybody gather around that girl like she's some type of royal figure ? everybody speaks for her and feels the need to protect her from this cruel world , like what the hell ? " she raged
" Cam ! Be easy " Naomi whaled her arms " Don't act up in this restaurant , please " Cameron held her face in aggravation " Seriously Cam chill out , I don't understand how a person that admires and looks up to you so much can make you feel that upset " Brie leaned over " You can't have it both ways , you need to decide whether or not you actually want to be with Roman . Also you are being unfair to Vinnie " Brie was soon interrupted by her phone vibrating on the table " Who the hell " she looked down and at her iPhone and saw an unread text message from an unknown " Oh , unknown .. that means you ignored " Cameron rolled her eyes " Hmmm you too ? " Brie grabbed her phone suspiciously " … Odd , I just got one as well " Naomi picked up her phone and poked her bottom lip out " What kind of I know what you did Last Summer mess …. " Cameron joked " It's really weird " Brie looked over to Naomi " You ain't lying … I hope it's nothing incriminating " Naomi cringed .
They all sat there waiting to see who would volunteer to open it first " Fine I'll go first , gosh ya'll are punks " Cameron laughed as Brie and Naomi sat there curious to see what the message contained " Here we gooooo " she playfully tapped her screen and after a few seconds the video loaded " Ohhh it's like a movie or something ? " she placed her phone in the center of the table and they all leaned closer " That looks like a naughty film judging from the thumbnail" Brie stretched her eyes " Well you know what that means " Cameron continued to laugh " It's going to be breakfast and porn ya'll " " Girl don't press play here there are you crazy " Naomi pinched her arm " Too late ! " Cameron giggled and pressed play . The three women indeed watched the video out of curiosity and couldn't really make anything of it right away " That kind of looks like Randy Orton " Cameron laughed " You are right ,It's almost creep … oh shit that's his tattoo " Brie gasped " Eww turn it off , I might vomit he's so disgusting " she quickly turned away " Oh my god … " Cameron covered her mouth with both hands " and backed away in her chair " What ? I don't see anything " Naomi grabbed the phone to take a closer look " OH …. I CAN'T " she placed her hands on the side of her face in horror " Turn it off now ! " she scuffled with Cameron's phone before managing to turn it off . " What … what did you guys see ? " Brie came out of hiding as the two girls sat in shock " What happened ? " she asked again " It was Harlee … " Cameron looked to Brie with sadness in here eyes " What ? no way … are you sure ? " Brie was hoping they would say something other than yes " It was her … " Naomi held her chest " My goodness , we need to tell someone about this " Brie got up out of the chair and grabbed her wallet out of her handbag " I can't believe somebody would do such a thing " Naomi grabbed her belongs as did Cameron " That is just low , we need to find Vickie or somebody and try and stop it from going any further " Cameron said zipping up her vest " Let's go guys , we need to be quick ! " she clapped her hands together as they rushed out of the restaurant .
Harlee exits the plane with Roman following right behind her " I hope that you sleep okay " he massages her shoulders " I did " she says bashfully and continues walking his hands on her shoulders " Good " he smiled . When they got outside a black van honked " There is enough room .. as always … you wanna ride ? " he asked " I would … but I think maybe today I should ride the bus , you guys almost got into trouble because of me last time " she giggled playfully " Oh come on do you really think we are scared of Vickie ? " Dean cuts in-between them " No offense Harlee doll , but … yeah " Seth stood next to her pulling his ponytail . " You guys " Harlee displayed a wide smiling throughout her laughter " You are going to get me into trouble . I think I will ride the bus this time " she removes her hood " What's wrong ? you don't like hanging out with us anymore ? " Dean asked . Harlee rubbed her neck and placed her hand on her hip " It's not that " she sighed " I just …. " Roman looked down at her with concern , he knew she was bottling something up " It's okay Harlee , go ahead . " he poked her hand " We will catch up a little later . " Harlee didn't want to be separated from him but she felt terrible for catching feelings for him so soon especially since she slept with Orton " Okay " she bit her lip from the inside " I will see you guys later " she slowly backed away and waved goodbye " See you later " Roman waved goodbye and tried to disguise his disappointed " Just kiss already sheesh " Seth mumbled as he waved goodbye " Cosigned , just go get her before she's on the bus . Watch she's going to look back " Dean put his arm around Roman and pointed towards her " Get out of here " he mushed Dean's face " Look he was right " Seth nudged Roman's arm and pointed towards Harlee who sure enough wanted one more glimpse before riding off , he met her eyes that appeared to be crying for help , she left him with one more smile before heading on the bus . " You are an idiot , you let her get on that bus man " Dean shoved him " Leave me alone " Roman snatched away and headed towards the van.
Harlee made her way on the bus , she smiled and nodded at some of the stars on the bus she wasn't familiar with yet . As she headed towards the back there were a few chuckles and snickers which she didn't think anything of . " Do you have time for your uncle Mark ? " said a voice she didn't expect to hear so soon " Huh ? " she looked around and there was Mark Henry sitting in the second to last row . " Mark ? " she gulped and grabbed the bottom of her hoodie " I know you are probably mad at me … but we need to talk " he offered her the seat next to him . She sat next to him slowly as he sat calm " Hey " she half way smiled " Hey Harlee , you doing okay ? " he rubbed his bald head and exhaled " I am , are you feeling any better ? " " I've had better days , but not due to physical pain … I guess what I'm saying is that I messed up pretty bad the other day " he grunted a bit " I just … I got so angry at the idea of you interacting with such a vile human being " Harlee grabbed her arm and felt her chest burn " But I failed you as your uncle " he looked to her and grabbed her hand " I passed judgement before even asking if you were safe , and for trying to hear your side " he held her hand tighter and sucked in his bottom lip " Uncle Mark …. " she whispered " It … it's fine " her voice began to shake " I'm fine , I just want to move on " she smiled . " It's not fine " he cried " I never known you to be that kind of girl , I know you have more respect for yourself than that " Harlee realized she was swallowing tears she tried so hard to fight " Shame on me for treating you lesser than human , I just hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me " he caught her tear with his thumb and stared strongly into her eyes " It's okay to cry , let me give you some love " he extended his arms told hold his beloved niece. Mark held her close as she released her tears , he felt like he had given a good speech but in the end Harlee felt like she had let him down.
Roman , Dean , and Seth were leaving the elevator when they spotted Tamina approaching , Roman knew what he had to do . " Hey Tamina " he called out to her and went ahead of Dean and Seth to catch up with her " Tamina " he grabbed her arm " Huh … oh …. hey Roman " she flipped her hair " What's up ? " she sucked her cheeks in " Listen … " he placed his hands in his pocket and put his head down in shame " I got really carried away yesterday … I was way out of line . If I were you I would have slapped me in the face " he adjusted his bun " Not a big deal " she shrugged " No , it is a big deal and I am sorry if I hurt you. You have always been there for me and I couldn't ask for a better sisterly figure in my life " he held his knuckles " Hmph , well I guess I could forgive you " she twisted her lips " Especially since you know that I am stronger than you " she laughed and playfully punched his arm " Ouch , damn girl ! " he laughed " You should have punched him harder ! " Seth joined in " Don't beat him too bad ! we have a match tonight " Dean jumped up " Oh that's right ! Well Roman can you do me a favor ? " Tamina asked " Sure what's up ? " " I left my phone on the table in my room can you please go get it for me ? I gotta finish getting my luggage , Dean and Seth can you guys help me ? " she batted her eyelashes " Ummm … no , you are Amazonia you can - " Seth was cut off by her wandering eyes " Oh … okay ! FINE ! But just this once " Dean said " Thanks ya'll , here Roman here is my key " she handed him the card to the room " Thanks cousin " she winked as he wondered about her odd request , he was confused but went with it because he didn't want to get on her bad side .
Roman inserted the card and entered the room to a nice surprise " Harlee ? " he asked in a bit of shock " Roman ? " she gasped " Whoa , I'm sorry I didn't mean to barge in … but Tamina sent me to grab her phone " he gulped " Oh you are fine " Harlee smiled as she continued to unpack " I was just getting situated , sorry for the parade of outfits " she laughed pulling her long bangs behind her ear " There you go apologizing again " he smirked " We spoke about that didn't we ? " Harlee loosened up a bit and took a breath " We did " she placed her socks in the middle of the luggage and stood up " You said she was looking for her phone ? " she wiped her knees and then came around " I'm pretty sure she took it with her " she held her elbows and looked around the table . Roman once again fell for Tamina the matchmaker's tricks " Hmph , she thinks she is so slick " he stuck his thick tongue out a bit " She's a riot " he blinked slowly and then looked to Harlee . " Are you feeling better ? did you get jet lag ? " he cleared his throat " Not this time " she said in a shy manner " But thank you for asking " she quickly headed towards the window and allowed the sun to shine on her " Just checking in " he took a seat in the chair and watched her at the window " You know … I understand how you see me … and I am fine with that " she went into her habit for biting her lip and then turned around " But I honestly do appreciate the way you take care of me " she played with her fingers . Roman was getting a weird vibe from her again , as if she were asking for his help " Have you ever done something that you truly regret ? " she folded her hands against her chest and walked over to him " What do you mean ? " he asked in confusion as she stood there silently , he could here her breaths getting heavier and her fingers began to shake " Harlee … " he left his chair and took her by her arms . " Can you hear me ? " he shook her enough to try and get a reaction out of her " HARLEE " he pretty much roared breaking her out of her daze " I'm sorry … " her eyes rolled over to meet his powerful gaze " Something is wrong with you … " she began to shake her head " No .. I'm okay … I just have so much going through my mind " she began to cry as she looked him in the eyes " Hush , don't cry " he embraced her . Harlee's body was still shaking and he could feel the goosebumps on her arms , at this point he was almost certain that this was no conspiracy theory and Orton did something to her " Come here " he released her and then took her hand " We obviously have to talk " he stretched and took his seat . " Come , I told you I don't bite " he grinned pulling her closer to him " Sit down little lady " she was a bit hesitant to sit on his lap but the look in his eyes made her feel safe . She slowly took her place in his lap and he soon had her by the waist " You are really tense little lady , I'm starting to worry " he said and she held her knees nervously . " I'm just really stressed out , I thought I had thicker skin but I'm obviously still a kid " she wiped her eyes and then looked down at him " Maybe this was all a bad idea , I'm thinking about quitting " she crossed her arms . It was obvious she wouldn't go beyond anything but hints regarding her sadness as of late , Roman's new goal was to comfort her by any means necessary . " Fine " he shrugged " But I would really miss you " Harlee set her sad eyes on him " I'm sorry " she smiled " I haven't come to a decision yet , but whatever you do don't tell anybody " she grabbed his sweater and begged . Roman rolled his tongue across his bottom lip and held her waist closer " Roman ? " she felt her body fall " On one condition " he said softly as she held the cloth of his sweater " What that's that ? " she sucked in her lips with an idea of what was about to happen " Your sweet lips " he smirked caressing her face while pulling her down " Ro…. " he silenced her with a gentle kiss , his moist and tender lips allowed her to relax herself . They shared two more small kisses until she pulled away from his lips " No … " she put her head down " I can't do this to Cameron " she was still holding his sweater material " Harlee " he held her wrists " The past is in the past … do you believe in me ? " he nodded and continued to stare honestly into her eyes " Roman … " she whispered and leaned into him . Roman released her hands and she sent them to his neck as they shared a tender kiss , he massaged her arm as his tongue made it's way inside . There was a feel of nervousness and lack of experience on her end just like before , so he slowed down and allowed her enjoy his bottom lip as he held her in his lap . Harlee soon broke away from him " I can't " she turned her face away " I'm so sorry " he didn't bother to keep her down as she was clearly uncomfortable " Harlee , I'm sorry if I … " he raised up " It's not you , it's me " she cried and jumped off of his lap " What ? " he left the chair and followed behind her " Harlee …. " he reached for her arm only for her to snatch away " Harlee … " he felt as if he did something harmful to her " It's wouldn't be fair to you " she shook her head " What wouldn't be fair to me ? why are you being so cryptic and paranoid ? " he approached her " I'm sorry " she raised her arms and tried to head for the door " No ! " Roman guarded the door before she could reach it " I'm sorry I have to do this … but I can't allow you out of this room … not acting like this " he began to breath heavy as he looked down at her " Be honest with me , did Randy Orton hurt you ? . " Harlee's eyes stretched , she had no where to run and she could no longer hide from him " No … " she sighed and grabbed her t-shirt " I made a big mistake …. you said you wouldn't judge me … and I hope you stick by your words " Roman stepped away from the door preparing for her to admit what he already had an idea of " I was intimate with Randy … " she sobbed and hugged her chest " I felt so alone … and he was there … " Roman couldn't find the words to express himself , all he could see was a broken down young woman who he had grown close to . There was an ounce of jealousy in his system but apart of him felt like if had just acted on his feelings she wouldn't have been taken advantage of ." It's the biggest mistake I have ever made , I thought I would come out of it feeling like a grown up … I just feel stupid . " He grabbed her and held her closer than ever , she could feel his heart beating steadily " Don't do this " he rubbed her back " Don't shed any tears for that man " he lifted her chin " For the 100th time , stop apologizing " he wiped his thumb down her wet cheek " Big girls don't cry remember " she was overwhelmed by his reaction to her confession " You are just amazing " she continued to cry and buried her face into his chest " It's going to be alright little lady , remember I got you " he rested his chin on her head and allowed her to let it all out in his arms as he pondered about righting a certain injustice.
