Thank you to everyone who reviews it really does motivate me to write and update faster. So after the reviews I had more motivation so I wrote another update. Let me know what you think!


I introduced Jason to Sandow, Randy, Nikki and John. They were extremely nice to him and very friendly. I was happy for that but it made me even more mad at Roman for being a jerk to him for no reason. On Tuesday after Smackdown me, Jason, Nikki, and John decided to go out to a late dinner before Jason went home and I flew to the next state for more house shows. We settled on Dennys and were waiting on our food.

"So I never did ask, how did you two meet?" Cena asked us as he put his arm across the booth seat behind Nikki.

"Well I was moving into the apartment next door to her and bumped into her with my boxes and she was nice enough to show me around Vegas and we hit it off" Jason smiled while grabbing and holding my hand.

Nikki smiled at us then looked at our hands. "Well I'm just happy she finally found someone to make her happy. After the whole Roman thing I was worried for a bit" she took a drink of her tea and I looked at her wide eyed.

"What whole Roman thing...?" Jason said and looked at me then Nikki.

"You didn't tell him about Roman?" John asked kind of shocked.

"No..she didn't.. what about him?" Jason moved to look at me a little more and let go of my hand.

"I'll tell you later...it's not a big deal which is why I never brought it up."

"Sounds like a big deal" Just then our waiter brought out our food and we all ate in awkward silence.


After dinner Nikki and John bid us good bye and started to the airport while I drove Jason back to his apartment in my rented car.

"So you going to tell me or what?"

"Jay...it's not a big deal. I don't really want to tell you something that doesn't matter."

"The fact you're avoiding it so hard means it does. Come on baby girl just tell me. We need to be open and honest for this to work out."

I pulled into a parking spot at the apartment complex and sighed. I looked at him and ran a hand through my hair.

"Me and Roman were best friends. When my ex cheated on me Roman stayed with me all night and we got extremely close after that. He-"

"Extremely close.. physically?" He asked.

"No! We never did anything like that, remember he's engaged? We just traveled together and roomed together. We may have done a little flirting but that's all. His fiancee didn't really like me and we, I, ended the friendship. See not a big deal"

"If his fiancee was so uncomfortable..how was it not a big deal?"

"We were just friends. Nothing happened."

"Rox..do I have something to worry about?"

"You don't trust me?!" I scoffed.

"Well...you did hide this"

"I didn't hide it. I didn't bring it up because we're not even friends anymore it doesn't matter" I looked down and took a deep breath.

"You still want to be don't you?"

I shook my head and looked out my window.

"You can be honest with me. I'm not going to yell or scream or dump you for telling me the truth. I just ask for complete honesty."

"I do... I miss him as a friend."

"So fix it."

"What? You were just asking if you had something to worry about and now you want me to fix it with him...?" I looked at him utterly confused.

"Because, yes I feel pretty weird about the fact that you didn't tell me. But I guess if you're not friends now I can understand. But.. the sadness that came over you when you said you weren't friends anymore, I don't want to see anymore. So whatever the problem was fix it. If his fiancee has a problem tell her you're off the market she has nothing to worry about." He grabbed my hand and lifted it to his lips to kiss it.

"It's more complicated. He probably hates me, you saw how he was Monday."

"Maybe he misses you too? Doesn't know how to deal? I'm not saying it's going to be easy but if it didn't matter you wouldn't have been sad. If something makes you sad I hate it so you need to try. What's the worse that could happen?"

"I could die"

He chuckled and put his hand on my cheek and stroked my cheek with his thumb "The worse thing is he says he doesn't want to be friends and you're right where you are now. If you miss him and you were truly best friends it'll work out okay?" I nodded my head and he kissed my temple.

"It'll be okay" He said soothingly

"I dont want you mad at me."

"I'm not mad baby girl. I was confused as to why you didn't say anything but it's okay, alright?"

"Promise you're not mad at me?" I asked while looking into his eyes.

"I promise"

"Swear?"

"I swear"

"On everything you love?"

"Rox! I'm not mad at you okay? Stop being so worried. I trust you and understand why you didn't feel it necessary to tell me okay? Now give me a kiss and go catch your flight"

I leaned over and kissed him and felt butterflies. I pulled back and he got out of the car before he shut the door he turned and looked at me. "Good luck with Roman. Let me know how everything goes." then he shut the door and walked into his apartment. I rubbed my temples then drove to the airport.


When I got to the airport I saw Dean, Seth and Roman were there so I went to sit with them while they waited. Roman looked up from his phone to me then right back down. Dean smiled at me and Seth looked like he was about to pass out.

"Tired Seth?" i asked while sitting down across from them.

"Girl you have no idea. I got no sleep last night and I'm catching a cold I just want to sleep."

"Take a nap until the flight?"

"These ass holes won't wake me up."

"I will, take a nap"

"I'm counting on you Rox" Seth then put on head phones and covered his face with a hoodie. Dean was playing random games on his phone and i sighed loudly.

"Okay, what is it?" He said looking up.

"Nothing"

"Yeah because people ALWAYS loudly sigh when it's nothing" Roman said sarcastically.

"Can I talk to you?" Roman looked up and saw I was talking to him "alone" i said while looking at Dean.

"I guess" me and Roman got up and went to walk to another set of empty seats.

"No fighting!" Dean called after us and Roman flipped him off.

We sat down and he looked at me waiting for me to start.

"Um..how have you been?"

"I doubt you called me over here for some friendly bull shit chat so cut to the point, what is it?"

I ran my hand through my hair and tried to think of what to say.

"Spit it out Rox."

"I miss you" I said while looking at my hands folded in my lap.

"Huh?"

"I miss you" I said quieter looking up at him.

"That's not what I was expecting" He ran a hand over his face and let out a big breath.

I kept staring at him but he wouldn't look at me.

"So...you hate me?" I said barely above a whisper and looked back down.

"I could never hate you Rox."

"You just don't miss me."

"I'm just confused. I thought you were going to try to rip me a new one for Monday"

"Yeah! What the hell was that about?!" I suddenly felt angry again.

"It was too weird for me okay?"

"What was? You treated my boyfriend like shit for no reason. 'good luck you'll need it' what the fuck Roman?"

"Now this is what I expected" he sunk down in his seat and stayed quiet.

"Why did you do that Roman?" I said sternly looking at him.

"I was mad"

"Over what?"

"Over... i don't know."

"That's a lie and we both know it.. over what Roman?"

"You know I'm not in the mood to argue so" he got up to leave but I grabbed his arm and pulled him down.

"We won't argue okay? Can't we just talk about things like we used to?"

"No" he said while staring blankly ahead of him.

"Why not?"

"Because it's not like before."

"I'm trying here Roman.. please just tell me what it was about?"

"Why are you trying all of a sudden?"

"Because Jason made me own up and face the fact that I miss my best friend.. I miss you so much."

He looked at me and sighed. "I was mad because I was the odd one out and it was never like that before. I guess I always thought it was a temporary thing ya know? That you and me were going to just go back to how we were and suddenly there's a guy in the picture I never heard of, and you're running to him and you and Dean are buddy buddy with him and I was just there and it quite frankly didn't matter if I was or not. It was like I was watching how we all three used to be with someone else. Then..he asked you to be official and I don't know.."

"Roman...I'm so sorry.. I didn't realize or do that on purpose you know?"

"It doesn't matter because it happened."

I touched his shoulder and he looked up at me.

"I meant the good luck you'll need it thing"

"ouch..." i said while taking my hand away from his shoulder.

"Can you blame me? i wish someone would have warned me."

"What are you talking about?"

"You walked out of my life like I meant nothing to you. You told me I was your best friend and you left. I told you how much I needed and wanted you in my life and you left... He deserves to be warned that it could happen to him Rox and you know it."

"That's not fair Rome... it's entirely different circumstances"

"How?"

"He doesn't have a fiancee that hated me."

"Do you think I gave a rats ass that she hated you?"

"Well...yeah"

"Well I didn't. You were my best friend and that whole week we were arguing about how she needed to deal with it. It's not like I have the perfect relationship. I needed you."

"Looking at it you would have thought you did."

"Looks can be deceiving. You have no fucking clue about what goes on behind closed doors. I fought for our friendship. I fought like hell. And you walked off. My engagement is on the edge of ending right now and I needed my best friend but she left." He looked at me in the eyes with anger "How can you tell someone you love them and then walk out on them and stop caring like that?!"

"I never stopped caring Roman! I always cared and loved you. I still do! It hurt so much to walk out that night I spent the night crying and almost lost Dean trying to avoid you. I was just doing what I thought was right!" I said a little loudly.

"I'm not trying to fight I'm just saying...if you could leave a best friend like that, I'm assuming you could leave Jason that easily too and he should know."

"Okay I get it I'm a horrible person okay? I hurt you and I suck and I'm the worst person that anyone could ever have in their lives."

"I'm not saying you're horrible. I'm saying... I don't get how you could do that to me."

"I thought it was the right thing to do Roman.. You told me I was too obsessive, your fiancee doesn't like me, I knew I had to distance myself but I thought I couldn't so i needed to just end the friendship."

"But now you could distance yourself?"

"Yeah. I mean look at us, this is the most we've talked in over a month, it's not like we're going to go back to how it was. I know and accept now that what we were doing, even though not cheating, was crossing the line. Now that i'm in a relationship I understand it fully and I wouldn't want to cross that line again. I need to respect your relationship and mine.. I just needed that time ya know, to get my shit together and accept everything."

"You make it sound like we broke up"

"In a friendship way we did"

"You've put me on a roller coaster girl. I don't know how I'm supposed to act around you."

"Can't we just try to put all of this behind us? Start fresh, we can travel together and joke around and just be the old Rox and Roman"

"Without sleeping in the same bed?"

"Yeah" i chuckled.

"We can try."

"Thank you Roman! Thank you so much"

We stood up and I hugged him really tight. "I missed you too ya know?" he whispered in my ear and I felt a shiver run through me. Feeling his arms around me again sent shock waves through my body and i felt goose bumps and my heart beating a little faster. I tried to ignore it because I really did want Roman back in my life. And now with Jason in my life I could accept that me and Roman were friends.

Roman pulled away and looked down at me.

"I do have one question" He said while staring in my eyes.

"Yeah? What's that?"

"When you said you love me... you didn't mean as a friend did you?"
