They were both breathing heavy. Roman brushed his hair back with one hand. She gently placed her hands on his chest and pushed him away.
"This was all me Amaya", he said.
He sat beside her and she stood, grabbing her clothes. He could hear her crying.
"Just go", she said.
He dressed and tried to approach her.
"Leave me alone, go", she shouted at him.
He took a step back as he watched her tears wet her cheeks. He got dressed.
"Get out! You got what you wanted. Go!", she yelled.
"I won't leave you like this", he said.
She shook her head at him.
"You don't have to tell him. I promise I won't say anything to him or anyone else.", he said.
"I'm not going to lie to him. We did that once and everything turned out hundred times worse.", she said.
Roman nodded.
"Not for you though right. You got to keep your family, your job. You weren't called a slut behind your back. Fans turning on you calling you a homewrecker, who am I kidding, if they were real fans they would have had my back. You were left untouched", she said angry.
"Untouched?", he asked.
She nodded.
"I wasn't left untouched. I lost you, I lost my unborn child, and I lost two fucking years with my daughter that I knew nothing about. I had to have hernia surgery, only to come back to have fans suddenly turn on me only because their precious Daniel Bryan didn't win. You aren't going to get constantly booed whenever you step foot in the ring. You don't have to fake a marriage because it's the only way to keep your daughter. You don't have to watch the love of your life walk away from you and into another man's arms.", he yelled.
He growled, frustrated. This wasn't how he planned for this to go. He wanted to talk to her, catch up. He was going to walk out, but her arm shot out and took a hold of his.
"What do you mean, fake marriage?", she asked, worried for him.
It looked like he had been holding that in for a long time. She noticed his shoulders were tense and he was on the verge of just completely breaking down. He looked at her, tears welling up in his eyes.
"I faked my marriage because my dad and uncles kept demanding it. Dean came up with the idea to pretend to get married.", he said.
"To keep Autumn?", she asked.
"That's her go to threat. If I even think about leaving her, she'll take full custody of Autumn and I'll never see my baby girl again.", he said.
He wiped his tears.
"Don't worry, I'm figuring something out.", he said.
He was going to leave, but she knew she couldn't let him walk out like that.
"Stop. Where are you going?", she asked.
He didn't turn to look at her.
"I have to go. You tempt me too much", he admitted.
"I can't let you leave like this Roman", she said.
He smiled. He lightly touched her cheek.
"I'll be fine", he said.
"Alcohol doesn't fix anything", she said.
"No drinking, I swear", he said.
She nodded. He grabbed his bags before leaving her room. She watched him walk over to his and unlock his door. He looked over and smiled at her before walking into his room.
She closed her door and sighed. How was she going to tell Finn? He trusted her and she completely broke that trust.
After their interview, they drove them back to the jet.
"Did you tell him yet?", Roman asked.
"No. I would rather do it in person", she said.
He nodded.
"If you want, I can be there when you tell him", he suggested.
She chuckled.
"And start world war III, no thanks", she said.
He smirked.
"How is Autumn?", Amaya asked.
"She's good, growing every day", he said.
"Did she ask anything about Malia? I know this is probably confusing for her because, well I'm Malia's mom and not Valerie", Amaya said.
"She's confused, but not about you being Malia's mom. It has more to do with why Malia doesn't come home with us.", he said.
She nodded.
"And what did you tell her?", she asked.
"That I was working on it", he smirked.
Amaya wanted to know what he meant by that, but held her tongue afraid of the answer.
As much as she didn't want to admit it, Roman tempted her. She was being pulled to him again and she wished she wasn't. Why hadn't Finn called her last night like he always did? That would have stopped her.
Roman could tell she was overthinking what happened between them. He told himself repeatedly not to follow her into that room, but his heart won out. He was addicted to her, not just her body but her.
Getting to the arena, Amaya quickly grabbed her bags and left Roman waiting for his. Dean waved at her.
"Shit breakfast, sorry we had to go to New York", she said.
"Its ok, I know. We can do dinner tonight", he said.
Amaya nodded. She noticed Finn with Hunter and she felt her heart beating fast. Should she tell him now?
"You ok?", Dean asked, waving a hand in her face.
She looked at him, Roman stopped beside them. He followed her eyes.
"I have to go, but dinner, text me", she said.
Dean nodded. He looked at Roman. He seemed to be happier, a smile graced his best friend's face.
"Oh hell no. You didn't?", Dean said.
"Neither of us tried to stop it Dean. Its like I couldn't stop my feet from walking into her room. I kissed her and she kissed me back right away. We picked up right where we left off", Roman said.
"Rome", Dean said.
"Ok look, I know Dean, but I feel alive again. I know she still loves me because she told me so last night while we were making love. As soon as I talk to that lawyer, and this whole sham of a marriage is done, I'm getting her back", Roman said.
Dean knew Finn wasn't going to let her go that easy.
Valerie sat in the hotel's living room. Her father in law was complaining to Vince about sending Amaya and Roman together to New York.
"They were watched closely. I was told all they did was have a conversation", Vince sounded like he was getting annoyed.
"I want something done", Sika yelled.
His wife watched from the couch. She didn't like this one bit. Valerie and Sika were too consumed in getting what they wanted that they forgot to see the bigger picture. There was a little girl out there that was apart of this family.
"I was out voted, there's nothing I can do", Vince said, before hanging up.
Sika dropped his phone on the bed. He watched his wife stand.
"Where are you going?", he asked.
"To the show. My son is champion and I want to see him. I also want to see my granddaughter", she said.
"She's right here", Valerie said.
Patricia nodded.
"I know, but I do have another one and I plan on making sure she knows someone in this family other than her father, loves her", Patricia said.
Valerie rolled her eyes. Patricia was now seeing the bad in Valerie.
"I want to go", Autumn said, jumping out of her mom's lap.
Valerie took a hold of Autumn's arm and pulled her back.
"You aren't going anywhere near that mistake your father made. She is not your sister, you get that. You don't have a sister.", Valerie yelled at Autumn.
Autumn cried while trying to get her arm free. Patricia stepped in.
"If you ever touch her like that again, I swear I will slap you so hard you will regret marrying my son", she said.
Patricia picked up Autumn and walked out with her. Sika looked at his daughter in law.
"Don't you let me see you grab my grandchild like that again. I understand you're frustrated, but that is no reason to take it out on Autumn", Sika said, before following his wife.
"So how was New York?", Finn asked as they walked into Stephanie's office.
Amaya swallowed.
"I live there, so it was nothing new", Amaya answered.
Finn chuckled.
"Right", he said.
He could feel something was off with Amaya. She looked down at her hands.
"Love, what is it?", he asked.
He wasn't going to ask, he knew something had happened. They were in the same hotel together. Something was bound to happen. She looked up at him.
"I'm so sorry", she said softly.
He looked away.
"Was it just a kiss?", he asked.
He was hurt, angry. She stayed silent and shook her head no. He nodded and walked out. Amaya took a deep breath. Stephanie walked in and Amaya quickly wiped her tears.
"Everything ok?", she asked.
"Not really.", Amaya replied.
"Anything I can do?", Stephanie asked.
She had seen Finn storming down the hall. Which meant either, Amaya broke things off or something happened between Reigns and Amaya.
"Not unless you can fix me. I have a habit of ruining everything good in my life", Amaya said.
"Not everything. Your daughter seems to be doing wonderfully.", she said.
"Give it time and I'll ruin her too", Amaya said.
"Don't put yourself down like that. You can't help who you fall in love with, trust me, I know", Stephanie said.
Stephanie sighed.
"Back to why I called you in here. You'll be losing the title tonight as a sort of punishment for spearing me. Don't worry, you will get it back", Stephanie said.
Amaya nodded. She didn't know where this story was going to take her, she just hoped it would be far from Roman. She also hoped she hadn't completely lost Finn.
