A/N: I don't own anything WWE related. Enjoy! I appreciate everyone that reads and likes my story!
"This is a nice place." I said, as he opened the door. I looked around and everything was clean, and there was nothing out of place. I laughed at the thought of Joe being a clean freak.
"There's only one bedroom, so you can sleep with me." He smirked at me and I blushed. Wow, I really wasn't ready for this.
"Thank you for letting me stay here." I said, and he nodded. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tight, to show my appreciation.
"No, thank you. I don't like being alone." He said and I pulled back, that was the first time I saw vulnerability in his eyes and it was weird.
"Me either." I said as he held my hand and looked into my eyes.
"Can I kiss you?" He said and I nodded. He pulled me close to him and kissed me, but I wanted more so I wrapped my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss. I felt electricity sparks shoot through my body, and I pulled away abruptly.
"When I meet my mama, will you come with me?" I said,and he stroked my cheek.
"Of course. When do you wanna go?" He said as he placed a strand of hair behind my ear.
"Well, we only have a few days off, so as soon as possible." I said, and took out my phone.
"Hey, Jessica. I'm ready to see my mama. Can you send me the address?"
"Catalina! She will be so happy to see you. I'll text you the details, and we need to catch up."
After the call, she texted me the address and I got anxiety. This was a big deal to me.
"I'm taking you to the club tonight." I said as Joe pulled me onto his lap, he gave me a curious look and I kissed him.
"You trying to hook me up?" He said as I kissed his forehead.
"Yeah, you deserve it." I said, and I licked my lips. He tried to pull me towards him but I pushed his chest.
"I'm going to get ready." I said, and I winked at him, getting up.
I applied some red lipstick that I've never worn before, and fluffed out my hair. I admired my outfit in the mirror, and I can admit that I looked better than I've looked for the past few months. I was wearing a black mini dress that had a cut out in the middle, which exposed more cleavage than my ring attire. I was also wearing black platform shoes that made my legs look longer and slender.
"Well, damn." Joe said as I picked up my purse, and readjusted my earrings in the mirror. He wrapped his arms around my waist and nuzzled my neck.
"Nope. We're going to the club to find you a girl. Let's go." I said leading him out of the door. Of course, he was looking fine. The girls are gonna be all over him tonight.
Joe sat in a booth as I went up to the bar to get some drinks, and I could still feel his eyes on me. But, that was about to change. I pointed to a blonde girl and looked at him, he shook his head and I rolled my eyes at him. I saw a beautiful exotic looking girl, with curls cascading down her back and she had a nice figure too.
"Hey there, my friend is too shy to talk to you, but he thinks you're hot." I said to her, and pointed at Joe. As I took her to the table, Joe glared at me and smiled at her when she sat down.
"I'll leave you guys to it." I said, and I winked at Joe. I literally ran to the dance floor when my song came on. I didn't care who was watching, a group of girls surrounded me and started dancing with me. I became alert when I felt two firm hands grip my waist, and some guy started grinding on me.
"Baby got back." I smirked as I gyrated my hips with his, from across the room I saw Joe tensing his jaw while he was talking to the woman.
"So what's your name?" He said as I took a sip of my drink, i looked around and saw Joe leaving with the girl, and jealousy coursed through my veins. But whatever, he can do whoever he wants.
"Catalina." I said, and he licked his lips. To be honest, he was good looking. But, I can read people and he just seems like all he's interested in is a one night stand. I'm not that type of girl.
"Exotic." He said winking at me, I rolled my eyes and finished my drink.
"I need to go." I said sliding off the chair, I nodded at him but he placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Your place, or mine?" He said, I gave him my death stare and shrugged his hand off my shoulder.
"In your dreams." I said, walking past him. He had the damn nerve to whistle at me, and I was tempted to kick his ass, but I composed myself.
When i got to Joe's apartment, I heard muffled sounds coming from the bedroom and I tried my hardest not to laugh. Since my other clothes were in the bedroom, I made some cereal and sprawled out on the couch watching cartoons.
"I'll call you." A female voice said behind me, and I turned around. She was putting on her shoes and fixing her hair, Joe came out of the bedroom a few minutes later and they embraced before she left.
"When did you get back?" Joe said as he sat next to me, I shrugged and put the bowl on the coffee table.
"I don't know the exact time, but you were clearly busy." I said, and I rolled my eyes.
"You set me up with her." He said in a sarcastic tone.
"I know." I said, standing up. Before I reached the bedroom, he grabbed my hand and pushed me against the wall. He stared into my eyes and I noticed they looked darker, and sexier than before.
"It's taking everything in my power, to not rip your clothes off right now." He whispered in my ear, and kissed my neck. He smashed his lips against mine and I wrapped my arms around his neck, he hitched up my already short dress and grabbed my butt. I moaned into the kiss as he pulled aside my underwear and trailed kisses down my neck.
"You just got with that girl, I'm not gonna be your side bitch." I said pushing his chest, and pulling my dress down.
"I used protection." I rolled my eyes and looked at him, he looked so hot right now.. But I can't do this.
"That doesn't make a difference." I said, walking to the bathroom and locking myself in. I stripped out of my clothes and hopped in the shower. I saw the range of shampoo on the side, and laughed to myself, he does have beautiful hair. I washed my hair, and scrubbed the makeup from my face.
I wrapped a towel around my body and exited the bathroom, Joe was on the phone so I went to the bedroom to get changed.
I pretended to be asleep as Joe got into bed next to me, but he wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him.
"She's nothing compared to you." He said kissing my neck, and pulling me even closer.
"Don't say that." I said, and he hugged me until I drifted into a deep sleep.
"Are you sure that you're ready, Catalina?" Joe said as we pulled up outside the house. I gripped his hand and nodded, I opened the car door and childhood memories came flooding back to me. Joe out his arm around my shoulder, and my nerves went away.
"Thank you for supporting me, it means a lot." I said, and he kissed my cheek before the door opened.
"Catalina. My Muñequita. Come here." My body froze as she wrapped her arms around me, she still had the same scent and it brought tears to my eyes.
"Mama." I said hugging her, and kissing her cheek. When she pulled away, I wiped away my tears and she was already hugging Joe like she knew him. I rolled my eyes and grinned at him.
"Su novio?" She looked from me to Joe, and I had no idea what to say. We don't have a label on our relationship.
"No, mama. He's my friend." I said, and she shook her head at me.
"Tontería. Come in, I made empanadas." She said, and we followed her inside. The smell of home cooking lifted my soul, and I couldn't stop smiling.
I stuffed my face, and mama kept piling more onto our plates. Every time I looked at Joe, everything felt right. It was like he was meant to be here with me.
"This is very nice." Joe said as he finished his food, my mama looked at me and winked.
"Muy guapo." She said, and Joe looked at me with curiosity.
"She said that you're very good looking." I said and I saw the red tint on his tan skin.
"Thank you. She's beautiful herself." He said, and nodded at her. I burst out laughing and my mama joined in.
"Joe, stop flirting with my mama." I said, and I saw the blush return to his face.
After we finished eating and catching up, me and Joe went to a nearby beach and sat by the sea. I saw young children playing around and my heart warmed.
"I want children, like 5 by time I'm 30." I said, and Joe wrapped his arm around my waist, grinning.
"That's a lot. I want children too." He said and a toddler crawled up to us and reached out to me. I looked for her mother and she nodded at me, I happily sat her in my lap.
"Pretty." She said touching a strand of my hair, and I kissed her rosy cheek. I have serious baby fever right now.
"She likes you. I think you would be a great mother, and you two would make gorgeous babies!" The mother said as she picked up her daughter. I smiled at her and looked at Joe, the red tint returned to his face and he nodded.
"That was.. Weird." Joe said looking at me, I burst out laughing to the point of tears.
"I know right, but her baby was so cute. I wanted to keep her." I said pouting, and he grinned at me.
"You would make a great mother, Catalina. I wonder who-" He said, and I glared at him.
"I don't even know if I've met him yet. I just want someone to love me and make me happy. That's all I've ever wanted in my life, I want to know what love feels like." I said and shrugged, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.
"You deserve love, and whoever you marry is gonna be the luckiest guy in the world." He said, and I shrugged.
"Not really, I would probably annoy him to the point of divorce." I laughed at that thought, and the glare of the sun felt distant compared to the warmth radiating from Joe's arms around me. Without him, I couldn't have gone through with meeting my mama.
"No, he would see right through that tough exterior." He said, taking my hand into his. I looked down and my heart started racing, the difference of our hands amazed me. His skin colour was a few shades lighter than mine, but the contrast was beautiful.
"I wish we could stay like this forever.." The words slipped out of my mouth and I blushed, I guess that's what you call thinking out loud.
"I was thinking the exact same thing. I want to take you to my favourite restaurant tonight, I hope you like sushi." He said and I frowned at him, he engulfed me in a hug and kissed my cheek.
Later on, Joe took me to a fancy ass restaurant, I would never picture Joe eating sushi, he seems like a steak guy.
"You look beautiful." He said, and his eyes wondered to my chest area. I felt my face heat up, so I distracted myself by looking at the menu.
"Thank you, you look nice too. What do you recommend from the menu?" I looked at the words I couldn't understand and frowned. If I get food poisoning again, it's on him.
"As you're a beginner, I would recommend Sashimi." He said in a confident tone, I nodded at him like I understood every word he said.
"Welcome to Sushi Palace, what can I get for you today?" A cute blonde girl said as she approached the table. Her eyes were firmly placed on Joe, I sat back, folding my arms.
"She's having Sashimi, and I would like spicy tuna rolls, please." He said handing her his menu, I glared at him and he took my menu and gave it to her too.
"I'll get that to you as soon as possible!" She said, and backed away from the table without giving me a single glance. Bitch knows.
"Looks like you have an admirer." I said, looking around. Luckily, they serve the sushi right in front of you, so I have nothing to be worried about.
"Not my type." He said immediately, looking me straight in the eye.
"You're joking right? She's skinny and blonde, I thought guys liked that." I said, shrugging.
"You clearly don't know my type. Real men like curves, that's all." He said holding up his hands in surrender. I laughed and took a sip of some water.
"I know Layla is single." I said and this time, he glared at me.
"Why do you always have alternatives? What if I want you?" He said, and I broke eye contact.
"Here we go!" The annoying blonde waitress said as she put our plates on the table, we said thank you and she went to serve other customers.
"This is actually nice." I said, after tasting some of that Sashimi stuff. I tried my hardest not to look at it, and I had to lie to myself and say that I wasn't eating raw fish.
"I knew you would like it." He said approvingly, he didn't even break a sweat as he ate the spicy tuna rolls and I watched him in amusement.
"Surprisingly." I said, and he locked his gaze with mine.
"Who do you want, Catalina." He said, and I felt my eyes budding with tears.
"Don't make me choose." I said in a low voice, I looked up to avoid the tears falling down my face.
"I just want to know." He said, and I stood up abruptly.
"Thank you for the meal, I should go now." I said walking away from the table, and leaving the restaurant.
The cold night bit into my skin, as I stepped outside. I took some tissue out of my purse and wiped away the tears. I looked around and I recognised the street, but it was eerily dark. A large arm wrapped around my waist, and I started kicking and punching in defence.
"Catalina, it's me." Joe's voice said, and I slightly calmed down, but i was still irritated.
"I don't feel like speaking to you right now." I said walking ahead, but he caught up with me.
"I just want to know." He said taking my hand, and his soothing touch made the anger fade away.
"I don't know, but I don't want to hurt anyone." I said, covering my eyes before the tears started falling down my face.
"Baby girl.." He said pulling me into his arms, I couldn't breathe but at that moment I didn't want to.
"Just hold me." I said, as he hugged me even tighter and no feeling could compare to this.
"Of course." He said smoothing down my hair, and swaying me in his arms.
