A/N: I only own the OC
Thanks for the reviews and support! Enjoy!
I had been back on the road for a month, and I was glad to be back. I had finally gotten used to being exhausted all the time. The story line was going good. People liked me, and I was happy so far. Roman was glad I was there, and Dad was just happy I had gone back.
"Isa!" Roman called when he walked into the area we had for changing.
"What?" I hollered back at him.
"Here." he said and I poked my head out from where I had just finished changing. He had a vase full of flowers. I raised my eyebrows in confusion as I took them.
"Thanks?" I asked and he shrugged.
"Who is sending you flowers, cuz?" Jey asked me and I shrugged this time. I looked around for a card, and found a small one with a simple heart... no name... just a heart. I flipped it over a few times before handing it to Roman.
"You gotta stalker?" Solo asked me and I shrugged. I hoped I didn't... I wanted to fly under the radar. I didn't want to deal with anyone, and just wanted to have fun right now.
"We got your back. No one is going to mess with you." Roman said and I nodded as I stared at the beautiful flowers. They were a mixture of pink and orange roses.
"At least they are pretty." I said and they all nodded.
"I need girl time. I'm going to see Candice." I said and they nodded as I sat the flowers down and walked out.
Roman POV
I watched Isa walk out and I shared a look with the rest of the family. Isa was the only girl that was around the majority of the time when we were growing up. Nia and Tamina came around a lot, but Isa was always there. She was my baby sister... no one was going to fuck with her.
"We got her back." Jimmy said as if he could read my thoughts and I nodded.
"Any ideas?" Solo asked us us and I shook my head no.
"At least we known it's not Dean this time." Jey said. I nodded and was extremely thankful for that. She and Dean dated for 2 years before Dean finally settled with Renee. Isa was very much in love with Dean, and Dean was very much an asshole. He broke her heart and it took her a long time to recover from him breaking up with her. I was glad when he left to go to AEW, and I didn't miss him.
Candice POV
I was glad to see Isa when she knocked on the locker room door. Johnny was at his match and Quill was in his stroller while I waited backstage. I hugged her and she immediately went to play with Quill.
"You know you could have one some day." I said and she rolled her eyes.
"Why? Between you and Roman's kids I don't need any." she shot back and I was laughing.
"How are you liking being back?" I asked her and she shrugged as she sat next to me on the sofa.
"Good... until I got flowers from a mysterious stranger tonight." she admitted and I was surprised. Isa was pretty, and could probably get any guy she wanted. I wasn't surprised she had caught someone's eye.
"Any idea who?" I asked her and she handed me the card. The card had a heart drawn on it, and no signature.
"No idea. Roman went into full big brother mode though." she said and I started laughing. I could imagine after seeing him rip Dean apart one night after he broke up with Isa.
We talked until she had to go for her match. I looked at Johnny after she left and he wouldn't make eye contact with me... he knew something.
"You know who her secret admirer is don't you? That's why you kept saying not to worry about it." I said and he put his hands up in surrender. He had come in about 10 minutes ago, and she was talking to him about it.
"Who is it?" I asked him and he smirked.
"You know who it is if you think about it." he said and I sat there for a second before someone knocked on the door.
"Yeah?" Johnny yelled and Dexter popped his head in the door.
"It's you!" I said as it clicked and he looked at me confused.
"Who else would it be?" he asked me and I shook my head as Johnny chuckled.
"No, it's you! You gave the flowers to Isa." I said and he shrugged at me as he sat down.
"So what if I did." he said and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Dexter, just talk to her." I said.
"Yeah, because that's so in his character." Johnny shot back as they both started laughing.
"Fine, I am going to tell her right now." I said and started to stand up, but Dexter stopped me.
"Don't. Let me do it my way first." he said and Johnny nodded at me to listen to him. I put my hands up in surrender and he smiled at me.
"Thank you, but did she say she liked them?" he asked me and i smirked.
"She said they were nice, and I saw a picture." I said and he looked relieved.
"But you still need to talk to her." I said and he nodded. I didn't tell him that Roman was in full big brother mode. He would figure that out soon enough.
Isa POV
I got done with my match against Doudrop. I was glad to see her again, and she had really improved in the ring. I was fallen weird though and needed to grab an ice pack for my wrist. I got to the trainer and they wanted to wrap the wrist with a bandage. I got done, grabbed an ice pack, and was walking back towards the dressing room when I dropped my bottle of water. I sighed and went to pick it up when it appeared in front of me. I took it as I saw that Dexter was holding it.
"Thank you." I said as his eyes traveled to my wrist and back to my face.
"Are you ok? he finally asked me.
"Ah, he does know how to speak." I said and I saw the corners of his mouth slightly curve up, and I started around him.
"Seriously, are you alright?" he asked me as he carefully touched my arm.
"Just a minor sprain." I said and he nodded before I walked to the dressing room. Roman immediately spotted my wrist and stood up.
"It's a sprain. I am fine. I want to go to the hotel and sleep." I told him and he put his hands up. I grabbed my bag, my flowers, and started walking to the parking lot. I was almost to my car when I fumbled my keys. I sighed and shook my head... my wrist was hurting and I wasn't having the greatest night. I contemplated just kicking the keys to the car as I looked up that night sky when I heard the keys jingle. I looked back down to see Dexter holding my keys looking at me with a confused expression.
"Let me help you." he said and I nodded. I didn't have the energy for a smart comment or anything at the moment. I was actually glad for the help. He unlocked my car, helped me put everything in it, and closed the trunk.
"Thank you. Are you heading back to the hotel?" I asked him and he nodded.
"Yeah, I am about to call an Uber." he said and I looked at him strange. He usually rode with Candice and Johnny, but I guess something happened tonight.
"I can take you back." I said and he shook his head no.
"Dexter, you have helped me twice now. Let me take you, please." I said and he looked at me, but finally nodded. He put his stuff in with mine, and got into the passenger seat where he was holding the vase of flowers.
"These are nice. I didn't know you have a boyfriend." he said and I snorted as I guided us out of the parking lot.
"A boyfriend? No, but someone likes me enough to send them to me. I don't know why thought. I have the appeal of a manatee." I said and I heard him chuckle.
"Nice way to put it, but you don't." he said and I smirked. We didn't really talk much as I drove us back to the hotel. He helped me carry my things to my room, and get inside.
"Thank you for the help." I said and he smiled at me.
"Anytime, Isa. Feel better." he said and left me in my room. I wasn't sure why but I was really glad that Dexter had shown up tonight. I took a shower, and was about to lay down when I heard someone knock on my door. I looked out, but didn't see anyone. I cracked the door to peek out, and saw an envelope on the floor with my name on it.
I picked it up, and came back inside. I opened it to find a picture of me sitting backstage near the monitors... it was hand drawn. I flipped it over and there was a note.
I try to pretend I am just a friend when all I dream about is you
I stared at it for a second and flipped it back over... the drawing was really good. It was on a piece of paper ripped out of a notebook. I snapped a picture of it and sent it to Candice. I tucked the picture away in my bag, took some advil, and fell asleep quickly. I just wanted to sleep, but instead I began to dream.
