Chapter Twenty Nine
The next morning Roya went running with the guys; she did pretty well considering she hadn't gone running for months. She actually used to love running and after the talk with her mother this was exactly what she needed. While running she felt free and could leave everything negative behind her. She could understand her mother's concerns but she couldn't let those concerns rule her life. Joshua was right, regardless if this was a mistake, it was her mistake to make.
After the run, they headed back home and she gathered her things to hit the gym with the Bellas. Roya was one hundred percent dedicated to doing this. As she stretching on the floor in the living room, Jonathan walked over to sit by one of the couches in front of her.
"Dedicated downright motivated. Get it girl." he stated
"My mom was the extra push I needed." Roya said
"That's usually how it happens, every time she says you can't do something you do the opposite to prove her wrong." he commented
"Damn right. I feel like I have to succeed more than ever now. Like the fact that she believes I am going to fail is pushing me. I want to prove her wrong, I want her to turn on her television and see me walk down to that ring and own it." she said proudly
"I don't know if I have said it enough, but I'm proud of you Ro. You are doing something not a lot of people have the courage to do. I know when Josh and I made the decision to do this, there were so many thoughts going through our minds. But we knew we had to do it. And thanks to family we did. That's why I want you to always know how much we believe in you. This maybe your journey but we are right along with you." he stated as she smiled
"Jon," Roya paused as she stood up and walked over to him for a hug, "I love you guys so much and you two mean the world to me. I can't even imagine turning back from this. The love you guys give me is something beyond words."
Jonathan gently kissed her before he spoke, "You will never have to wonder if we love you. I promise you." Suddenly Joshua came down to the living room and announced that Nikki's truck was outside. Roya grabbed her things and kissed the guys goodbye before heading out the door.
" Aye we should do something nice for her this weekend. I feel like she has had a rough few days." Jonathan commented as Joshua sat down next to him on the couch.
"Agreed. I think that the conversation with her mom really pushed her over the edge more than she admits. Sure it may have given her motivation to push harder but I also don't want her to be down about it." Joshua said
"Maybe a quiet night in, cook dinner and have some wine." Jonathan said
"Look at you. She put that magic on you and you're cooking dinner and pouring the wine." Joshua laughed
"Hey,...look," Jonathan sighed, "I'm not saying she humbled me, but..."
"She humbled your ass." Joshua interrupted
"Lawd did she ever. She was just so aggressive and sexy." Jonathan commented
"Might have to get her mad one day." Joshua teased
"Trust me, it will be worth it." Jonathan laughed
Roya worked out with the Bellas for a few hours before going into the ring to practice. They really put her through it, it was definitely Bella boot camp. Every part of her body hurt, they didn't let her rest long and every time she did a move wrong they forced her to repeat it until she got it right. They had been at it for so long that she lost track of time, all she knew was that her body was hurting and muscles felt like they were on fire. When they were finally done, all she could do for the moment is lay on in the center of the ring lifeless.
"You okay Ro?" Nikki asked as she leaned against the ropes
"Everything hurts...but it hurts so good." Roya tried to laugh
"Told you we don't play. Just because you're our girl, doesn't mean we are going to go easy on you." Brie commented
"Got to make you Bella army strong." Nikki added as she went into her gym bag to get her cellphone
"Appreciate it." Roya replied as she slowly rolled on her side. Nikki absentmindedly took a photo of Roya as she was adorable. Roya decided to include a Bella army tee shirt in her gym attire for the day.
"You look so cute, I had to take a pic." Nikki smiled
"I imagine I am an image of beauty." Roya said sarcastically as she tried to smile. After Nikki took another photo, Roya slowly got up from the mat and made her way out of the ring.
"No pain no gain. But you my dear are inspiring, it's only been a few days but some people would have quit already. You are really pushing through this. If you keep this attitude up, nothing can stop you." Brie stated as she gave her a high five.
Roya smiled and started flexing her arms, "I am ready to dominate that ring. Grrr." she laughed. Nikki and Brie smiled. Once again Nikki turned her phone to Roya but this time started recording her.
"Flex for Bella army, Ro." Nikki said as Roya continued posing for the camera. She did the shaka hand gesture and stuck her tongue out.
"Girl, Uso crazy." Brie teased
After a few moments Nikki ended the recording, "You are so going to look back at this video in awe one day."
"I can't wait." Roya smiled, "Well I think I should head home. Tomorrow is another day."
"Who are you working out with tomorrow?" Brie asked
"OG and Xio texted me earlier that they would be up for it." Roya replied
"Awesome. Well let us know when you're ready for another trip to boot camp." Nikki stated
"Of course." Roya replied
"Hey Ro, mind if I make you a little Instagram famous?" Nikki suddenly asked
"Huh?" Roya asked in return
"I think I am going to post these. Hashtag training for the Bella army." Nikki replied
"Sure,... I guess." Roya replied as she didn't see the harm in it. Just as she was packing up her gym bag, she turned her head at the sound of a familiar voice.
"Hey ladies, just thought I would say a quick hello since I haven't seen you in a while." Roya's eyes widened as she saw Savelina (Nia Jax) walking up to them
"Hey Nia!" Brie greeted
"Haven't seen your pretty face in a minute, hun." Nikki commented
"Savvy!" Roya suddenly beamed as she smiled at her. Savelina turned and smiled as she looked at her. Soon Roya walked up to her and Savelina hugged her tightly.
"Omg I didn't even recognize you! I completely forgot that you were visiting the twins for a little bit. I thought you would be gone by now though," Savelina paused as she looked Roya over, "Bitch you look good."
"Me? Look at you! You are so ready to take NXT over," Roya started, "I'm still here because...I am training, I have try outs with Matt Bloom in a month."
"You're lying! Are you serious? Wow I am so happy for you. I always knew you would make your way into wrestling at some point. You're basically apart of this family and I KNOW the twins are excited as hell for you. Of course you got this." Savelina stated
"Thanks Savvy." Roya smiled
"We have to hang out before I leave. Ben's visiting with me, I know for sure he will be happy to see you." Savelina said
"Yeah we definitely need to hang out." Roya slightly smiled. Savelina and her had been friends for years and she loved being around her. However, she always wanted her and Ben to hook up. He liked Roya since they were teens. He was nice but was never her type.
"Awesome. I will message you and we can get something going." Savelina commented as she hugged her again. They all chatted for a bit before Savelina said her goodbyes and walked away.
"I should have figured you knew Nia." Nikki smiled
"Oh yeah, we have been friends for years and I adore her," Roya paused, "It's just that she wants me to be with Ben soooo bad."
"Yikes," Brie said, "That's going to sting when he finds out about the twins and you."
"I don't even want to think about that yet," Roya sighed, "I will just have to cross that bridge when the time comes. But I should be heading home. I'll see you ladies later. Thank you again."
"No problem hun." Nikki stated
"Later, Ro." Brie said
Roya left the gym and headed to her car. She was happy how the day went, after last night, she needed a good workout to release her stress. But she was still very tense and uneasy. And now this whole Ben situation was shinning more light on the awkwardness of not being able to just tell people she was dating Jonathan and Joshua.
Joshua was in the kitchen making dinner when Roya walked through the door.
"Hey babe, welcome back." Joshua greeted, "Dinner will be done in little."
"The only thing on my mind is a bath and my bed." Roya sighed as she took at seat at the by the counter. Jonathan came downstairs and walked over to her.
"Hey stinky." Jonathan teased as he kissed her
"Stop, don't be mean." Roya said
"What? You're still beautiful...just a little funky. But I have prepared a bath for you upstairs along with a surprise." Jonathan commented
"Jon...you didn't have to do that." Roya smiled
"Hey you have been working hard. And I don't mind." Jonathan replied
"I appreciate you both so much. You spoil me." she said
"You deserve it after dealing with shit face." Joshua stated
"Agreed," Jonathan added
"I messaged you earlier about what you wanted to eat for dinner but you didn't respond, so a decision was made without you." Joshua said
"Whatever it is it will be great." she replied
"Don't say that until you taste it. I'm not Bobby Flay." Joshua laughed
Roya laughed as she took her phone out of her pocket. Suddenly, her eyes widened, "What the shit?"
"What's up?" Jonathan asked
"My Instagram, look at all of these notifications." she replied as Jonathan looked at her phone
"Damn!" Jonathan commented
"I had a little over one hundred followers...I now have close to five hundred and it's growing." Roya said
"Hacked? Maybe bots?" Joshua asked
"I hope not," Roya replied as she noticed a message from Nikki, "Wait, these followers are from Nikki's video of me."
"Video?" Jonathan asked, "Girl you shaking that thang again?"
"No, when we were done working out Nikki posted a video of me flexing." Roya replied as she found the video
Joshua walked over and looked at her phone as well, "Damn, ninety nine thousand views already." he commented
"Holy shit it has comments from wrestlers," Roya said, "Nikki tell her your boy from New Day says Heeeeey girl, you watch Up Up Down Down?"
"Creed... Joshua paused, "Now I have to beat his ass in UFC again. This time make it hurt and wish he never challenged me in that game"
"Aww don't be jealous." Roya laughed
"Who else may need their ass beat?" Jonathan asked as he looked over the comments
"Zack Ryder commented, "Damn Nikki, she is fine! Woo woo woo," Ha, woo woo woo." she laughed
"He can woo wooo no!...Chump." Joshua stated
"She can shaka with me any day." Jonathan read as he looked over Samoa Joe's comment, "Only thing he gon' catch any day is these hands."
"Guys don't be silly. It's just comments." she smiled
"Yeah until they slide into your dm's." Jonathan commented
"Then it's lights out." Joshua added
"Look at them following you already, just thirsty. " Jonathan said
"Look you two have no reason to be this petty." Roya stared, "I love my Usos, best tag team in the world...next to the Hardy Boyz."
"What?!" Jonathan stated
"Kidding, you guys are number one to me." she said
"Good save," Jonathan smirked, "Now lets go get you cleaned up and then relaxed...superstar." he teased as he held his hand out. Helping her off the stool, he lead her upstairs to his room. Roya noticed a few sexual oils and scented candles were burning.
"Jon I'm too tired." she started
"Shhh, I promise I will not harass you tonight. This isn't about what I want, this is all about helping you relax." Jonathan interrupted
"Alright." Roya said
"First on the list is to take a shower...wash yo funky ass. Then when you come out. I will have a massage ready for you." he stated. Roya smiled, she gave him a quick kiss then headed to the bathroom to get cleaned up. Jonathan turned on some relaxing music and turned out the lights so the candles were the only thing illuminating the room. Time passed and Roya walked out of the bathroom. She had a towel wrapped around her while she used another towel to dry her hair. Jonathan instantly felt himself get hard.
"Damn." the words came out before he could stop himself.
"Jon, don't." Roya scolded him as he licked his lips.
"I'm sorry it's just...," he paused as he continued to look her over, "Down boy." Roya laughed as he pretended to have a pep talk with his crotch.
"Calm now?" she asked as she walked over to the bed
"For now. Probably take a cold shower later but moving on," Jonathan coached her to lay on the bed so he could give her a massage. Which was a terrible idea as he still had dirty thoughts running through his head. Roya laid down on the bed and fixed the towel over her back. Jonathan prepared some oil in his hands then proceeded to massage her calves first. Roya smiled as this was just what she needed. Her body was sore and Jonathan's hands were magical. Slowly he made his way up and did his best not to massage her ass. Working on her lower back he caused her to moan a little.
"You're extremely tense." he whispered into her ear, "Relax...or I will have to spank you."
"Jon," Roya stated. Truth be told she was slowly getting turned on but didn't want to be a hypocrite after she just scolded him. His firm hands were causing her skin to tingle and pulse to race. As if to make matters worse, there was a light knock on the door and Joshua walked in.
"Just checking on you guys." he said as he now stood next to the bed
"She is extremely tense." Jonathan stated
"Makes sense, new type of stress on the body. " Joshua commented
"She needs to be relaxed and my massage isn't working apparently." Jonathan commented
"Sounds like she needs to be relaxed another way." Joshua said as he licked his lips
"Hey you promised no funny business." Roya stated as Jonathan turned her over on her back
"And I still intend to keep my promise." he replied as he scouted her closer to the edge of the bed. He massaged her thighs before opening her legs and placing his head between her legs. Before Roya could react, she felt Jonathan tongue on her clit.
"Damnit Jon." she groaned
"No funny business huh? Then why are you already so wet." every word that passed through his lips vibrated against her. Roya started to moan as he continued to suck and play with her clit. As she dropped her head back, she saw Joshua walking towards the bed. He watched her intensely as she grabbed Jonathan's hair and started to squirm under him. Joshua leaned down and kissed her then started to massage her breast. Soon his mouth found her neck and made quick work of leaving marks wherever his mouth touched. Between the two of the them she knew that she wouldn't last long. Jonathan groaned as she held his hair tighter. He continued to hungrily work his tongue on her. Squeezing her thighs, he could tell she was close. Soon Roya moaned loudly as she came hard and he let her ride out her orgasm. Joshua continued suck on her neck as she laid there in bliss.
"Feel better?" Jonathan asked as he now leaned up on the bed and examined her body. All she could do was nod as he smirked
"Best way to relax." Joshua said as he gave her a kiss on the lips before pulling away from her
"And now you can go to bed happy." Jonathan added. He walked over to his dresser and pulled out a tee shirt and shorts for her. Roya put on the clothes and crawled out of the bed
"Ready for dinner?" Joshua asked
"I had a delicious meal already." Jonathan teased
"Such a pervert." Roya laughed
They all went downstairs to have the dinner that Joshua prepared. It was actually better than they expected. While at the table Roya mentioned that she ran into Savelina and how she wanted to hang out.
"She still trying to pimp Ben on you?" Jonathan asked
"Probably." Roya replied
"Tell her you have a boyfriend." Jonathan stated
"Then that will open some more mess. You know Savvy, she will want to know all about "him' so she can try and make Ben a better choice."Roya said
"This is true," Joshua sighed, "Yet another reason why I wish we could be open about this."
"I want to be honest with everyone as well but I know there is a place and time for it. Plus lets be real, not everyone is going to be as accepting as Olivia, Nick, Xio and the rest of the gang." Jonathan said
"You're right." Roya commented
"In regards to Savvy, I say just tell her that you just got out of a bad relationship and you're not ready to get back into dating." Joshua said
"That should work." Roya agreed
They talked about what plans Roya had for tomorrow. She was going to meet up with Olivia and Xiomara in the morning. The boys were going to work out as well so Joshua could get back into training. Unknown to either of them tomorrow would also start a storm of trouble none of them were prepared for.
