She didn't know what to say or do. He didn't ask yet. Honestly, she wasn't sure what she would say as soon as he asked.
"Finn", she said.
"I was planning to ask after I moved up to the main roster, but there's something I need to tell you", Finn said.
She looked up at him. He couldn't meet her eyes. He swallowed. It must be bad, the look he had on his face said so.
"I cheated on you", he whispered.
"What?", she asked.
She wasn't sure she heard him right. She hoped she misunderstood him.
"It happened after we had our fight. I was afraid of telling you", he said.
He didn't have to tell her the whole truth.
"Our fight? The one about Roman?", she asked.
She sat down. He nodded.
"I regretted it right after it happened. I'm so sorry Amaya. I was angry, I, I'm just so sorry. There is no forgiving me, especially after throwing Reigns in your face", he said.
He got on his knees in front of her. Taking her hands. She looked up at him.
"I'm sorry Amaya", he said.
He stood and walked out, leaving the ring on the coffee table in front of her. She kept her eyes on it.
Roman had just put Malia down for bed. Valerie was staying with her parents, taking Autumn with her. As soon as things were settled down, he would find a nice home for his girls and himself. He was confident the lawyer would help him get his little girl back.
He was about to go to his room, when someone knocked. He walked towards the front door and checked the window. He quickly unlocked the door. Amaya stood there.
"Yaya?", he said confused.
She walked in and he closed the door behind him. She started pacing his living room. It looked like she had been crying.
"What are you doing here?", he asked.
She stopped and looked around.
"Shit. Is Valerie here?", she asked.
She just came over without thinking.
"No, we aren't together anymore. Its just Malia and I", he said.
She nodded and looked down. He heard her crying softly and he walked over to her. Wrapping his arms around her.
"What's wrong Yaya?", he asked gently.
"He cheated on me", she whispered into his chest.
Roman pulled away and looked down at her.
"Want to repeat that?", he asked.
"Finn cheated on me", she repeated.
"What? After all the shit he gave you. It doesn't matter if it was after all that.", he said.
Roman watched as she wiped her cheeks.
"What are you going to do?", he asked.
"Forgive him. He forgave me and I don't know", she sighed and sat down.
She was exhausted from driving around all night. She hoped it would clear her mind, but it didn't. It just kept going back to Finn's words and then Roman. That's how she ended up here. He bent down in front of her.
"Why are you here?", he asked.
She looked into his eyes.
"I don't know", she shrugged.
He was going to stand, but she took his face between her hands and kissed him. He stood with her and lifted her into his arms. He set her down again and pulled away.
"No. Not like this. You're angry and hurt. I won't take advantage of that.", he said.
He smoothed his hands down her arms and to her hands. He looked down when he felt something. Lifting her left hand. His mouth dropped open and met her eyes.
"Amaya", he said.
She swallowed.
"I'm going to forgive him and say yes", she said, taking a step away from him.
"Why did you come here?", he asked again.
She didn't know what to say, because she wasn't sure herself.
"If you came here so I could talk you out of it, I won't. Only you can be sure of what you want.", he said.
"But I want you too", she said softly.
He placed his hand against her cheek gently.
"And I want you, but you can't have us both. You need to be absolutely sure that you can trust him, that you love him enough to be with him for the rest of your life.", he said.
"I don't trust either of you at this point", she chuckled.
He smiled and nodded, understanding why she didn't trust him. He hurt her.
"I made mistakes and so has he. I'm trying to earn back your trust, he will too. Don't say yes till you know what you really want. Me or him.", he said.
She exhaled and she nodded.
"You can bunk with Malia. I don't want you driving right now. You look exhausted", he said.
"Thank you", she said softly.
He showed her to Malia's room. Stopping at the open door, she had never been to his place. She looked up at him and kissed him. The kiss was long and sweet. Roman's lips always felt good against hers. He pulled back just a bit.
"I can't live without you, but if he's what you want, I'll step aside and be happy for you", he whispered.
"You make it so hard", she whispered.
He chuckled.
"Its not hard at all baby. You know, deep down you know who you want. You're just afraid to admit it, because you don't want to get hurt and you don't want to hurt the person you don't choose. Pain is inevitable. Just be absolutely sure before deciding anything", he said.
She nodded.
"Goodnight", he said, before walking away.
"Night", she whispered.
Once he reached his door, he glanced back at her. They smiled at each other. He hoped she would have ran to him and entered his room. He wouldn't have stopped it this time. She wanted to go to him. Feel him all over her again. She took a deep breath before walking into the room Malia was in and closing the door. Roman walked into his.
The next time she kissed him, he wouldn't be able to stop. It was getting harder and harder to deny his need of her. He wouldn't regret it or apologize for it, no matter how mad she got at him.
