Keeping their eyes open as they drove through the road. Seth couldn't see why someone would close it.
"All clear", Aleister said in his walkie.
JoJo didn't like the silence. It made her more nervous. She cleared her throat.
"So was that man your boyfriend?", she asked.
Seth raised a brow. Bobby looked at him.
"Don't look at me, I'm a married man, to a woman I might add", Bobby chuckled.
Seth chuckled.
"No. He wants to be", Seth said.
Liam shifted in his seat.
"He's cute. You two looked good together", she said.
"I looked better with my ex. Trust me, you would like him better", Seth said, eyes flashed to Liam before he looked away.
JoJo giggled.
"What happened?", she asked.
Seth exhaled.
"He had to stay behind for work and I had to leave for work. I was actually going to try to work things out with him, but, he's moved on", Seth said.
"I'm sorry", JoJo said.
"He was the love of my life.", Seth said.
Liam's heart was beating faster, he swore everyone in this car could hear it.
"But lets change the subject. When do you two plan to tie the knot?", he asked.
JoJo smiled.
"In two months, well, hopefully", JoJo said.
Seth nodded.
"How did you two meet?", Seth asked.
"He came into the store I was working at for a birthday present", she answered.
"Wow. So was it love at first sight?", he asked.
"I thought he was handsome and sweet, but I wouldn't say love at first sight.", JoJo said.
Seth looked in the mirror at Liam.
"And you Liam?", he asked.
"Not love at first sight", he replied.
Seth nodded.
Liam was meeting the trainees for Ruby Region. The future king would also be among them. The men approached them.
"I'm Liam Murphy, I'll be showing you to the training grounds", Liam said.
"Roman Reigns, this is Dean Ambrose, and Seth Rollins. The crew", Roman said, gesturing to everyone.
Since Dean and Seth would be his second and third, their introductions were important. Liam took Seth's hand and shook his hand. Their eyes met and Seth just about fell to his knees.
Liam was gorgeous. He had never seen a finer man. Liam laughed softly.
"Can I have my hand back?", he asked.
"Oh", Seth said, releasing his hand and blushing.
Liam noticed, he also noticed how well built Seth was. It wasn't that Liam was hiding his sexuality, he just hasn't been brave enough to find out if what he felt towards men was true.
Maybe Seth could be him?
"So um, we set you all up in special housing we have for the trainees. Roman, Dean, and Seth will be staying with me for anything you need regarding your region", Liam said.
Roman nodded. Another man showed the rest of the group to their assigned houses. Roman, Dean, and Seth followed Liam. When he opened the door, he gestured around.
"Make yourselves at home. The rooms with the doors open, are free. Fridge is packed, but if there is something specific you need, I can get it", Liam said.
The guys nodded. Seth brushed by Liam's arm. Liam felt the tingles and Seth looked at their arms. Letting Liam know that he felt them too. Their eyes met, before Seth broke contact and continued to his room. Dean took the room next to the room that had the door closed. Seth assumed that was Liam's.
"Dean, switch with me", Seth whispered.
"Why?", Dean asked.
"This dude is hot alright. Its been a few weeks since I've got some ass. Give me this room", Seth whispered, glancing back down the hall.
"And what if he's not gay?", Dean asked.
"He is, trust me", Seth said.
Dean rolled his eyes.
"Fine", he said, grabbing his bags and leaving the room.
Seth took a deep breath. He hoped he was right. If what he felt when he touched Liam's arm was anything worth noticing, Liam was into him too.
Hunter and Lynn arrived at Ruby region. Roman smiled as soon as he saw their car pull up. Lynn jumped out and hugged him. He chuckled.
"Have some respect, you don't just hug a king. Especially a married one", Sasha said, as she pulled Lynn away from Roman.
"Sasha", he sighed.
Hunter placed his arm around Lynn's waist before she could jump at Sasha.
"Remember, she is queen", he whispered.
Lynn took a deep breath and nodded. Roman mouthed sorry to her and she sent him a small smile.
"Wow, what a big difference Ruby region is to Emerald", Lynn said, removing her hoodie.
Her shirt lifted and Sasha gasped. Noticing the tattoo, the same tattoo she had seen on her husband. Roman sighed.
"What the hell?", Sasha asked, looking between them.
Lynn looked around.
"What?", she asked.
"I'm not sure", Hunter said confused.
"Your tattoo", Sasha shouted.
Lynn looked at Roman before touching her side.
"Sasha, it was before you", Roman said calmly.
"It doesn't matter. She has the same one and I'll be damned if you share that with her too", Sasha shouted before walking in.
"You two have matching tattoos?", Hunter asked.
Lynn didn't know what to say.
"We got them when we were engaged and she was going to be my queen", Roman said.
"And you didn't think, hey I'm married now I should remove it", Hunter shrugged.
"Why should he have too remove it? Its apart of his life. People get tattoos all the time because they mean something to them", Lynn said angry.
"He's married", Hunter shouted.
"Hey, don't yell at her", Roman said.
Hunter shook his head before walking into the castle. Lynn touched Roman's side that held the tattoo.
"You didn't remove it?", she asked.
When she had found out he was engaged again and married, she figured he would. Apart of her was glad that he didn't.
"I couldn't. You are apart of me and my past, it was special and removing it would end it completely. I didn't want it to end", he said.
She smiled.
Roman groaned as Lynn pulled him towards the tattoo place. They were out looking at wedding invitations. He had given her more than enough time to plan it.
"Come on. You got your arm and half of your chest tattooed.", she said.
"Yeah, but that's family tradition", he said with a smile.
"Please", she begged.
"Why can't I say no to you?", he asked playfully.
"Because I'm super adorable", she said.
He leaned down and kissed her.
"Do you know what you want to get?", he asked.
She nodded and they walked in. The tattoo artist smiled and bowed to Roman.
"So what can I do for you?", he asked.
"Well, my fiancée here, wants to get matching tattoos", Roman said.
The artist looked at Lynn and she smiled. Leaning against the counter, she told him what she wanted. He started to draw.
"Color?", he asked.
"Ruby red", she answered.
Roman squeezed her hand. He showed her the snow flake he did. She nodded. Roman smiled.
"Where do you want it?", he asked.
"My left side", Roman answered, before removing his shirt.
"Mine too", she replied.
He leaned down and kissed her.
"I love you, pretty girl", he whispered.
"I love you", she replied.
Lynn watched Roman walk inside. She had lied to herself and her family these last few years. She had fallen in love with Roman, he was everything she wanted. She just wasn't ready for the responsibility of being queen or having kids.
So she had lied to him, ending the engagement, saying it was because she only saw him as a friend. She had hurt him, she knew, but he had put on a brave face and lied too.
He looked back at her.
"Lynn?", he said.
She looked at him. Following him inside the castle. She looked around, this could have all been hers. It wasn't. He was married now, and she couldn't be the reason why they divorced. She had to move on too.
"Do you know where Hunter is?", she asked Roman.
He nodded.
"Your room, upstairs fourth door on the right", he said.
She nodded and went up the stairs.
"Lynn", he said, stopping her.
She looked at him. There was so much he wanted to tell her, but nothing came out. She smiled and touched his cheek.
"We can't, I know, but we can't. You've got a wife and, I don't want to come between you", she whispered.
"What if I don't love her? What if I'm not happy?", he asked.
She swallowed.
"I can't do this right now, Roman", she said, before leaving to her room.
Roman sighed. Getting to her room, she knocked. The door opened and Hunter looked confused.
"Why did you knock? Its your room too. Apparently Sasha thought we were a thing and roomed us together", he chuckled.
She closed the space between them and kissed him. He returned it.
"Lynn", he mumbled against her lips.
"Don't", she replied.
Closing their door and walking them to the bed.
