Flashback

There was a show about four hours away from where Samantha lived. Seth had surprised her on several occasions with flowers sent to her work, showing up on his days off, so she decided that this time she would surprise him. She took off of work and made the drive to the town where the show was being held that night. Finding out his room without giving it away would be difficult, but figuring out the hotel wasn't that hard.

She had tried to get to the hotel with a good amount of time before the show so she could find Seth and surprise him, then go and watch him perform. When she walked into the lobby, it was pretty crowded. She recognized some of the faces, there were also a lot of people in wrestling shirts hoping to meet their favorite stars, and a few people walking around in suits obviously on business trips trying to avoid all of the commotion.

She scanned the lobby looking for that one specific face. She finally saw him near the elevator with a big adorable smile across his face as he was deep in conversation. Samantha looked at who he was talking to. It was a young woman who barely looked legal. She wasn't wearing much. She had on very short jean shorts with a Seth Rollins tank top on. She was looking up at him smiling as well, trying to touch his arm as they talked. Samantha didn't think much of it. Sure she didn't really like it, but she knew this happened all the time. He even told her when they met he gets women who throw themselves at him a lot. She was just going to wait until Seth was done talking and sneak her way over to him, but her plans changed when she saw him go into the elevator and the young woman follow him. She quickly walked across the lobby dodging people to get to the elevator in time. She made it, barely. And the last thing that Seth saw before the doors has closed was his girlfriend's face looking at him and his whole expression changed.

Once the doors closed, she turned around and stormed through the lobby. She had almost made it to the front doors when she was stopped.

"Hey girl! I didn't know you were going to be here today!" Renee said surprised as she happened to come across her friend. "Where are you going?"

"Home." Samantha stated and tried to push right past her.

"Hey hold on. What's wrong?" Renee asked concerned as she stopped her.

"I came here to surprise Seth. Clearly I did because the look on his face when he saw me while in the elevator with a half naked girl showed that."

"Oh honey." Renee said as she put her arm around her friend. "I'm sure it's not what you thought."

"Sam, wait!" They heard Seth calling as he ran out of the stairwell. "What are you doing here?"

"Apparently interrupting your fun so I'll just go and let you get back to it." Samantha replied annoyed and went to turn around to leave, but both Renee and Seth stopped her.

"Seth, I'm not sure now is the right time." Renee tried to say to him.

"She's my girlfriend Renee. I'm the one that needs to talk to her."

"And she's my friend and she's really upset right now. You need to give her some time to calm down." Renee reasoned.

"And she's right here and doesn't feel like talking to anyone right now." Samantha interjected.

"Sam, you can't leave right now. I don't feel comfortable with you driving by yourself right now. I have some time before I have to leave for the show. Why don't you come back to my room with me and we can talk. I'll send Dean down to Seth's room to give us some privacy." Renee suggested.

"Rene come on, you know me." Seth said preventing both of them from getting by.

"And that doesn't matter right now. What matters is how she feels." Renee replied, then with her arm wrapped around Samantha's shoulders walked past him.

Once she and Samantha were in the elevator, she took out her phone and sent a text to Seth.

'Just give her a little time to talk and calm down. I'll be with her. You can talk with her before we leave for the show.'

'Thanks Renee." He sent back. He sighed. He fucked up and he knew it.

Within the hour, Dean and Seth went back to his room to check on how the girls were doing. Samantha was still upset, but she seemed much more composed than she was earlier. Renee obviously thought she was feeling better because she said that she and Dean were going to head over to the arena to allow them some time to talk.

"I'm glad to see you." Seth said as he sat down on the bed next to her.

"Sure didn't look like it."

"I was just surprised. I didn't expect to see you."

"Well that was pretty obvious. Didn't think you'd be going off with another woman if you knew I was showing up."

"I know how that must have looked Sam. I'm so sorry you saw that and got upset." Seth said sounding very sinceer. "Yes she was flirting with me, but it's my job to talk to the fans and be polite. If I'm rude I'll end up getting myself in trouble. I ended the conversation and was going to go back up to my room, and she got into the elevator too. She said she was staying here as well. But I wasn't going with her. I wouldn't do that to you."

"And what if she was lying and was just going to follow you to your room? Then what?"

"Then I wouldn't have let her in, I would have gone down to the front desk and have her escorted out and my room changed." He answered.

"I really want to believe that Seth. Deep down I do, but it's just so hard. I barely ever get to see you. And then the only time I go you have women all over you at random hotels. It's just so hard." Samantha said upset, more with the situation than him at the moment.

He placed his hand on her leg and looked at her. "So come home with me."

"I can't. I only took off today and tomorrow to see you." Samantha replied.

Seth smiled. "That's not what I meant. Come home with me, and stay."

She looked at him very surprised.

"I was going to talk to you about it next time we were together. This isn't really how I wanted it to go, but there's probably no better time to bring it up than now."

"Seth, are you serious?"

"Of course. You don't think I miss getting to see you too? You don't think I'd much rather all those other women I see be you?" He said as he pushed her hair out of her face. "And now you'll know no matter where I am I'm always coming home to you." He said as he placed his forehead on hers causing her to smile.
