Chapter 30:

Savannah

Trying really hard not to think about all the negative things that have happened in the last several hours, I crawled into bed in the hotel room I shared with Seth. My eyes were glued to the TV screen simply because one of my favorite movies was on the Freeform Channel. Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire.

I rested my head on Seth's shoulder and he rubbed circles with his fingers over the bare skin of my arm. It was moments like this that got me wondering why I never told him about my feelings for him in the past. We just fit together, just Roman fit so much better with Becky. That's just how it seemed to me anyway.

"How long is Becky going to be out for?" Seth asked breaking the silence between us.

Roman had sent me a message the moment they learned of her injury status. I wasn't entirely surprised by it, because she seemed like she was in an awful lot of pain when we walked backstage earlier on. I could tell that he had been overly concerned about her physically well being. It actually made me happy to know that someone cared about her that much. "At least six weeks." I answered softly moving my head from his shoulder to his chest to listen to his calming heartbeat.

"First Roman gets suspended for something he didn't do and now Becky gets hurt. It just looks too much like a coincidence to me."

"Roman's was deliberate. Adrian wanted him to suffer as much as possible; but I doubt he had anything to do with Becky's issues. Accidents happen in the ring, you know that."

He looked down at me a moment, studying my expression thoroughly. I couldn't tell if he believed what I was saying or if he was thinking that I was totally insane. He of all people know about accidents in the ring. His own knee injury was proof of that, even my own minor injuries I've had over the years were proof. Maybe that was me trying to think better of the situation than about all the negative, I didn't know.

"I know...it just seems too weird to me." He answered pulling me closer to him.

"I'm trying not to think about all the crappy things that have happened over the last several months. I just want to live in this moment..."

He smiled and leaned his head down to capture my lips gently. There was so much emotion passing through him that I had a hard time keeping up. His hand caressed my cheek. I turned my body around to face him more directly. He pulled me onto his lap with my legs straddled across his hips. His chest was bare and just begging to be touched by my fingers. Breaking the connection of our lips for only a moment, I savored the taste before leaning in for more.

Running my hands down the contours of his chest and further to his abdomen, tracing lines over his stomach with my fingertips. He groaned softly, letting me know that he enjoyed my touch. His arousal could be felt between my legs. "Savannah..." He whispered severing the connection of our lips. I couldn't help but smile with how desperate he sounded calling my name.

"Hmm..."

He didn't answer. Instead, he flipped me onto my back. His hair tickled my nose as I fought back a giggle. Sliding his hands up my sides, it raised my shirt up to expose my skin to his viewing. The warmth of his tongue was felt against my neck, sending shocks of pleasure straight to my core. A soft moan escaped my mouth. We needed these moments of living. We needed the happiness to drown out the hard spots in our reality.

Everything happened so fast and clothing was scattered in every direction. It was when I felt him enter did I finally give into him completely. Seth's mouth took a hard point of a nipple into his mouth. More pulses of pleasure weaved through me, causing me to arch my back up into him. His hips moved, pushing deeper inside.

"I love you..." He said breathlessly.

"I love you too..."

I dug my nailed into his shoulders, biting my lip so as to not to get overly loud. A sly smirk cross his lips, knowing just what I was doing. Capturing my lips, I could taste his tongue and the beer he had just finished before we settled into bed. He thrusted his hips swiftly against me, while taking my hands and pinned them above my head. The certain notion that I was trapped excited me even more, so much so that it didn't take much more to feel the tightening of my lower abdomen.

He groaned a little louder, indicating that he was close to. I wrapped my legs around his waist, pulling him tighter against me. With that little movement, he caved, spilling everything he had. Panting, he leaned down to kiss me one more time before rolling off to settle next to me. I leaned my head down to rest on his chest. His usual calm heartbeat was pretty rapid; but it lulled me to sleep nonetheless.

Becky

After being released from the hospital, Roman took me back to the hotel. On the drive there, we spent a lot of the time in silence. I didn't know what to say to him and I was pretty sure he had no clue what to say to me either. The only thing I could do was reach across the center console and take his hand into my own.

He was hesitant in returning the gesture. I had really hoped that we had gotten passed all the doubt between us; but maybe it was going to take a little more pushing from me to get through to him. Since I had fractured ribs, I had lots of time.

Standing outside my door, I unlocked the door. Roman hung back, keeping his distance. Sharp pain took my breath as I turned around to meet his gaze. I sucked in a harsh breath of air and he was at my side in an instant. His arm curled around my shoulders, pulling me closer to his chest. "Are you alright?" He asked.

"I'll be fine..."

He allowed me to step out of his embrace and walk into my room. He carried my bags inside for me so as not to put more strain on my body while I was in the healing process. Tomorrow was going to be an interesting day to say the least. He would be allowed to make an appearance on Raw; but after that, he had to leave for thirty days for a wellness violation that he never committed.

I mentally cursed the bastard known as Adrian Devox. He's done so much to ruin a lot of important things in Roman's life and it hurt me to see the despair on his face. Even now, I could see it on his face. "You should try and rest." Roman suggested.

"Can you stay for a while?" I asked softly taking a step closer to him.

"Becky...I...I don't if that's a good idea."

"Are you afraid Adrian will do something?"

He didn't answer. He didn't have to. I could see it written all over his face. Taking more steps towards him, I reached out to take his hands into mine. My thumb brushed across his knuckles. "I told you that I was here for you...no matter what. He won't break me or what we could possibly be someday."

"Becky..."

"I know you're just trying to protect those you care for; but what about those people's feelings. What about mine? I'm choosing to stay and you continue to try and push me away. I seriously though we got through this."

He turned his head away to the side, hiding his eyes from me. It was totally infuriating to not know what he was thinking, because all I wanted to do was hold onto him and not let go; but the pain in my ribs was preventing me from doing just that. Stepping back, I realized that I couldn't force him to do something he didn't want to do. If he didn't want to stick around and push me away, there was nothing I could do about it. "I understand...it's fine. Thank you for the ride here. I'll see you when I see you...I guess." I said turning around to open my bag for a change of clothes.

I felt his hand take hold of my arm and swiftly turn me around. His other hand found the shallow of my back and his mouth found mine. The sensation of his lips on mine sent my body into overdrive. My hand took a firm grip on his shirt to keep myself from falling down from the weakness in my legs. "You're right..." He whispered against my lips once he broke away.

"About what?"

"Everything...I am trying to push you away, because I think you deserve better."

Shaking my head in protest, I reached out to cup his face. My thumb brushed across the rough facial hair on his chin. A smile tugged at my lips, reassuring him that I was fine with everything. I was okay with wanting him, despite all the Adrian drama that tagged along with him and even through the most awkward notion. He was my best friend's ex-boyfriend. "No, I don't. You are perfectly fine. It's you who can't see that. I can tell you that till I'm blue in the face."

He let out a low chuckle and it warmed me entirely. I turned to grab those clothes out of my bag. Roman raised a questioning eyebrow at me. Probably to figure out if I was going to change in front of him or not. I smiled; but moved toward the bathroom where I could change in private. I wasn't at that point in a relationship yet.

Once I emerged from the room, I could see him sitting down on the edge of the bed waiting. Yawning then quickly cringing in pain, I pulled the covers down and fluffed the pillow a little to my liking. He turned his head to watch me closely. "Do you want me to leave so you can sleep?" He asked finally standing up.

"No, I don't. I would like for you to lay with me so I can actually fall asleep."

I don't think he expected me to ask for that; but he didn't protest. He removed his shoes and crawled into the bed, allowing me to rest my head on his chest. I had taken the pain medicine they had given me in the hospital while I was in the bathroom, so the throbbing breath sucking pain was starting to dim down a little. "I was really worried about you tonight..." He said suddenly.

"Really? Why?" I asked out of curiosity.

"I wondered if Adrian had finally gone a step too far and gone physical with you."

Another smile crept to my lips, "No, it was a total accident in the ring. It was probably my own clumsiness that caused it. I was just glad you came to see me after it happened." I told him yawning again.

"Why wouldn't I?" He asked.

"I don't know...I'm just glad you did...that's all."

He had to know that I was exhausted, because he didn't say anything else. The only thing he did was lean down and kiss my forehead gently. It was the perfect way to end a rather particular crappy day. Tomorrow should be a little more hectic than I was willing to admit; but hopefully, it will run smoothly without too much of an incident.

Snuggling into Roman's chest, I closed my eyes feeling the stress of the day wash away. He held onto me, resting his own head on the top of mine. Even with closed eyes, I smiled and probably stayed that way through the night.

End Note: I apologize that this one is much shorter; but I promise the next will be longer and more exciting. The build up to Battleground and a little more Adrian drama to develop.
