"I remember you from yesterday," the manager said as Roman entered the whore house again.
"Yeah," Roman just said.
"You couldn't stay away, eh?" The manager said and winked.
Roman chose to roll with it.
"No, I couldn't. I would very much like her for an hour again if it's possible," he said.
"It sure is. Go to room no 7. I'll send her in right away," the manager said.
Roman walked to the room and sat down on the couch. A few seconds later she entered. She was just as he remembered. She hadn't left his mind since he had been there the day before. He stood up, not knowing exactly how to greet her.
"Would you like to sit down?" He asked.
"Is that what you want me to?" She replied.
"I'm not gonna hurt you," he said and sat down again.
She walked over to him and sat down next to him. He found it very weird and wrong that she was sitting naked beside him so he took off his shirt and handed it to her.
"Do you wanna cover up?" He asked.
She shrugged her shoulders.
"It doesn't really matter," she answered.
"It matters to me. I want you to feel safe around me," he said.
She took his shirt and put it on. It was was too big for her and looked like an oversize dress.
"I want to apologize for yesterday," he said.
"Why? You did nothing wrong," she said.
"I watched. I shouldn't have," he said.
"Why didn't you leave then?" She asked.
Roman sighed.
"Do you know the guy who..." He stopped, not sure what to call it.
"Who raped me?" She finished his sentence.
He nodded.
"Everyone knows Seth Rollins," she said.
"Then you also know that no one says no to him without ending in the ground," he said.
She nodded. He took her hand and gently patted it.
"What's your name?" He asked.
"Jenny," she answered.
"I'm Roman," he said.
She nodded.
"How did you end up in this horrible place?" He asked.
"The same way as all the other girls. They kidnap us," she answered.
"That's just wrong," he said and sighed.
"How do you think we feel in here then? At least you can walk out that door if you can't take it," she said.
"I know. I'm sorry," he said.
He interlocked his fingers with hers.
"I paid for an hour. I'm gonna stay in here with you the full hour and just talk. I might not be able to get you out of here but at least I can give you a little break," he said.
"Thank you," she whispered.
The hour went by too fast. She handed him his shirt back and he put it on.
"I'm gonna come back. I can't tell you when but I'm gonna come back. That's a promise," he said.
"You're very kind but let me give you a piece of advice. Walk out that door and never come back. Don't even turn around and look back. This place holds no happiness for you and you'll only get more frustrated as time passes on," she said.
He took both her hands.
"I don't know why but I feel drawn to you. I can't get you out of my mind," he said.
"I've made my peace with this place. Please make yours too," she said as her eyes got watery.
"I refuse to do that," he said.
He leaned in, kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear.
"I'm gonna come back. I promise."
