CHAPTER 5:
AJ sat alone in her room for at least 3 hours before Roman came back. "Where did you go?" she asked, slightly angrily. "Whoa, whoa, whoa" said Roman. "Didn't I say that I went to go park my car?" AJ sat up. "Ok I am sorry Leati but it doesn't take 3 hours to park a car". "It does when it's a $65,000 car" said Roman. "I couldn't just park it anywhere. I don't want it to be stolen, it's a rental".
AJ sat back before calmly saying "oh". "So, what's up with your um…leg?" asked Roman. "Oh the doctor's coming back with my discharge papers shortly. It was a laceration and should heal within the next month but I'm good enough to wrestle in 3 weeks once the stitches come out of it" said AJ. "So how many did he uh give you?" asked Roman. "7" said AJ. "Wow damn" said Roman. "That's a lot of money gone now". "Well accidents happen" said AJ.
The room got quiet again before someone began speaking. "In all seriousness Leati but why are you still here?" asked AJ. "Isn't Trinity's party still going on and I'm sure that everyone is missing you". "Trust me nobody's missing me" said Roman. "Dean and Seth are doing just fine without me". AJ sat up. "Ooh I smell a feud brewing. Please tell me about it" she said. Roman laughed. "Oh hell no April" he said. "There's no feud. You've been sipping the scripts just a little too long". "Actually I haven't" said AJ. "What do you mean?" asked Roman. "What I mean is, well about 2 months ago Stephanie called me back into her office to tell me that she has a love storyline for me coming up soon but she won't of course let me in on who it is with".
"Well why would she?" asked Roman. "She doesn't want word to get out and be somehow leaked into the media". "That was a long time ago" said AJ. "Well um congratulations I guess?" said Roman as the doctor walked in. "Alright Ms. Mendez here is you're paperwork…" the doctor's voice began to trail off as Roman waved goodbye and walked outside, leaving AJ a bit confused as to how she would get back to her hotel room. As the doctor continued talking to her, she noticed something green sitting under a white envelope in which Roman was sitting on.
The doctor handed her the paperwork for her to sign and left, saying that someone with a wheelchair will be coming for her soon. AJ slowly got up from her bed and walked on over to the chair where she noticed that tucked under the envelope was a $100 bill. AJ sighed as he opened the envelope and began to read the card:
"Get well soon! Here's some money to get yourself a cab. I'm sorry I couldn't drive you back this time around. I just found out that my flight has been changed and I must leave now. I'll make it up to you. See you soon, Leati A "
AJ chuckled as she tucked the money and envelope into her dress pocket. "He's such an idiot" she said. She soon afterwards found herself…smiling.
