Roman-
After my shower I couldn't sleep. I felt bad about going out to eat and not letting Willa know or bring her back anything. Thinking about it deeper, I realized I've been neglecting her. The bedroom door opened and Willa walked in.
"Sorry, did I wake you?", she asked.
"No babe", I said.
I sat up and patted the empty side of the bed.
"I'm gonna shower", she said.
"Not yet, come here", I said.
She came over and sat beside me. I leaned over and kissed her.
"I'm sorry", I said.
"For?", she asked.
"Neglecting you. I've just been so busy with work and then the baby", I said.
"It's fine, I get it", she said.
I cupped her chin in my hand.
"No it's not fine. You mean the world to me and I never want to make you feel like you don't", I said.
I pulled her towards me and kissed her. She straddled me and I lifted her shirt off and tossed it to the floor.
"I hope you're not too tired", she said.
I shook my head.
"Never too tired for you", I said.
The next morning I woke up early. I watched Willa sleep. She was wrapped in my arms, her back pressed against my chest. I didn't want to get up, but I had too get to work. I kissed her neck and then stood, grabbing my briefs. Once I cleaned up a bit I grabbed my gym bag. I kissed Willa's forehead before leaving.
"I'll see you later gorgeous", I whispered.
She turned over.
Once at practice, Dean was ignoring me. Finally having enough.
"Okay, what's the deal? What did I do?", I asked.
"You should know. I shouldn't have to tell you", he growled.
JJ Watt and Brian Cushing watched us.
"I'm not a mind reader Dean, I need you to use your voice", I said angry.
"I repeat, I shouldn't have too", Dean said, placing his hands on his hips.
"Look JJ the boyfriends are fighting", Cushing said.
JJ laughed.
"Okay, so what's going on?", JJ asked.
"Remember when we warned him about moving in his possible baby mama? Yeah well, now it's come to bite him in the ass. His girl always makes him dinner. He knows this, yet, the idiot took out his baby mama to dinner", Dean said quickly.
"And you thought this was okay?", Cushing asked.
"She was hungry, I was hungry", Dean cut me off.
"He didn't ask that", Dean said angry.
"No, of course it wasn't okay, but I apologized and she forgave me", I said.
"Did she actually say I forgive you?", JJ asked.
"Well no but", all three shook their heads.
I sighed and nodded understanding.
"I'll make it up to her", I said.
"You better. You've never put anyone before her. This baby might not even be yours", Dean said.
"I know", I sighed.
After practice, Dean came over to mine to pick up Brie. Walking in, she seemed a little nervous. Rosa smiled while eating a bowl of cereal.
"My girl upstairs?", I asked.
I didn't wait for an answer. I dropped my bag by my bedroom door.
"Willa, babe get ready we are going out. I'm all yours tonight", I said, walking into the bathroom.
Empty. I checked the closet, empty. Turning around, I saw a yellow notepad paper sticking out of the pillow. I sat down and opened it.
Roman,
Let me start off by saying I'm sorry. This wasn't how I intended on ending things with you. I just couldn't do it in person, it would have made it harder for me to leave. I know you didn't intend on getting Rosa pregnant, but right now she needs you more. You are about to start a family Ro, and I won't stand in the way of that. Be a dad to your kid and be someone Rosa can count on. I could ask you to spend time with me, but that would be too selfish of me. Just know that I love you, more than I have ever loved anyone, but I need to do what's right. You're my best friend and I hope that after this I'll still be yours. I don't want to lose you completely. Don't say it won't work because it did before, try to fall in love with Rosa. I'll have Brie and Nikki collect the rest of my stuff later and Brie will be your new assistant, take it easy on her. Please be safe Roman and don't do anything I'll disapprove of.
Love, Willa
I stood and rushed down the stairs. Brie looked even more nervous.
"Where is she? I'm going to get her and bring her home", I said angry.
Dean looked at her confused and she looked from him to me.
"I don't know, she's just gone", she said softly.
Dean wrapped his arm around her.
"What do you mean she's gone? Where?", I yelled.
"I don't know. I thought she was going to Florida, but she didn't", Brie said.
"Rome, calm down", Dean said.
"How can I calm down? My girlfriend just broke up with me in a letter, she left me", I yelled.
"I wonder why", Dean said, hands on his hips.
"What is that suppose to mean?", I asked.
"Maybe if you stopped playing house with Rosa, you would have noticed how unwelcome you made Willa feel. Rosa would hang all over you and you didn't tell her anything once. It made Willa feel like she was in the way and I'm willing to bet that's what the letter she left you said, right", Dean said.
"I told her I was sorry", I said.
"But you didn't do anything to change it. You also told Willa that Rosa was only here for a few weeks, till she got back on her feet and she's still here and before you say anything about Brie still living here, at least she's working and paying her dues", Dean said.
"She's convinced that even after you find out that the baby isn't yours, Rosa is still going to be here and that you and her", I cut Brie off.
"Nothing is going on with Rosa, I love Willa", I said.
I went up to my room and called Willa. Voicemail.
"You can't just leave me like that. You can't just break it off in a letter. I understand why you left but nothing is going on with her. Like I told you last night, you are my world and right now it's collapsing and I need you to fix it. I know you're not in Florida with Sami. So where are you? I will come and get you and bring you home. Damn it Willa don't do this to us", I said.
I sighed.
"I love you", I said.
I found myself calling her dad.
"Hello", he answered.
"Mr. Medina, it's Roman", I said.
"Hey Roman, how's it going? Calling to ask for permission to marry Will?", he asked excited.
"I wish sir, but Will, she's gone. I don't know where she went, I thought she might have gone home to you, but I guess not right", I said.
"What do you mean she's gone?", he asked.
"She left me a letter, breaking up with me and now I can't find her. Brie dropped her off at the airport and I don't know", I said.
"Okay, just calm down. I'm sure she's safe and she'll call Roman, she always does", he said.
I took a deep breath and then exhaled.
"Yeah, I just don't think she's going to call me. If she calls you, will you let me know. I just want to know she's safe and", I stopped.
"I will", he said.
"Thank you", I said, before hanging up.
A soft knock at my door.
"Come in", I said.
It opened and Rosa walked in.
"Is everything okay?", she asked.
"No, everything is not okay", I said.
I stood.
"I'm giving you your two weeks notice. I want you out of my house by then. Go back to where ever you were staying, find a new place, or I don't know. I honestly don't want to hear from you unless it's to give me the results", I said.
"She left you because of me?", she asked.
"No, she left because of me. I was acting like an asshole", I said.
"I'm sorry", she said.
"She'll call me, I know she will", I said.
She nodded.
I spent most of my week at practice or at the gym. Anything to keep me busy while I waited for Willa to call. Joey came over with pizza tonight.
"Your diet Rome", Brie said.
"Let him have it, he's been working extra hard this week", Dean said, patting my head.
I glared at him and took a bite of the extra cheese pizza.
"Willa called", Joey said.
We all froze, while he kept enjoying his slice.
"This is really good", he said, mouth full.
"Joey", I said.
He smiled.
"She called to see how everything was going. How you were and I said fine. She watched your game last Sunday and told me to tell you to stiff arm that son of a bitch next time", he said.
We laughed.
"And Dean, she told me to tell you not to get sacked. She has you on her fantasy league", he said.
"Did she say where she was?", I asked.
He shook his head no.
"I asked, she wouldn't give it up, sorry", he said.
I nodded.
"She does miss you though. You two are best friends and you said so yourself, that while you were away at college you called each other almost every night. I know it's driving you crazy, I'm sure it's driving her crazy too, not talking", he said.
I nodded.
"I wish she would just come home", I said.
"We all do Rome", Dean said.
"You don't think she would go back to Sami do you?", I asked.
"We hope not", Brie said, squeezing my hand.
