*Roman's POV*

I woke up the next morning, I still couldn't get her face out of my mind. She looked so pale. Almost scared. But why should she be scared now. She's away from that now. Still she must have been through something terrible. I thought she was gonna burst into tears right there. I walked into the living area of our hotel. Jon & Colby were sitting on the couch watching TV. I walked over & plopped down next to Colby.

"So what you forgot how to talk now?" Jon asked still watching TV.

He always has to be a smart ass.

"What up," I reply dryly.

Colby nudges me.

"You alright big man?" he asks.

"I'm good," I say raking my hands through my long dark hair.

"He can't get a certain nurse lady out of his mind. I understand she is ummm," Jon says.

I grab a pillow & slap him with it. Jon laughs a bit.

"Her name is Rita," I say.

Jon continued to laugh.

"Oh I know her name I just like callin her nurse lady," he replied.

I was about to hit Jon again before Colby snatched the pillow.

"If you're that worried Joe, let's go & check on her," Colby suggested.

I did want to go see her. Okay I'm game. I walked into my room, threw on my shoes & met Colby & Jon in the hall. We made our way to the lobby. There was a pretty heavy set strawberry blonde standing behind a counter in the lobby. I looked over at Colby then Jon. Jon smirked at us before he made his way over to the women. He was there for about ten minutes then he turned back to us. He had a cocky smirk on his face as he walked up to us. He smiled brightly.

"Rita Barnes room 315," he says.

I laugh to myself but I'm grateful that Jon can charm the pants off any woman. It does come in handy. We make our way to the elevator.

"Okay so what did you have to give the lady in return for Rita's room number?" Colby asked.

"Nothing really. I just told her that I wanted to surprise my girlfriend & daughter but she forgot to tell me the room number. I said she wasn't answering her cell & I was worried," Jon explained.

Colby laughed as we made our way off the elevator & down the hall toward Rita's room. I'm a little irritated that Jon pretended to be Rita's boyfriend & child's father, but whatever. As we approached room 315, we see a man in a uniform sit a tray at the door. The slight sound of music fills the air. The closer we get,  the more I recognize the song. Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down. I knock on the door. No answer. I knock again harder. I could hear her sing song voice before she opened the door. She seemed shocked to see us.

*Rita's POV*

I woke up with a lot on my mind. I decided that Emmie & I were gonna have a girls day. At least until it was time to leave for the next city. I got up hopped in the shower. Since we were staying in today, I decided to go comfy. I put on some black dance shorts and a red & gold Be Be tank. I let Emmie pick her lounge clothes. She decided on a gold tu tu, pink tights & her favorite Princess Sofia T-shirt, which was purple. Not my fashion choice but I'm gonna let her do her thing. After we were done dressing, Emmie's favorite show caught her attention. I grabbed my cell phone & walked into the living room. I surveyed the fridge, then decided to call room service. After ordering breakfast, I decided to swallow my fears & check those messages from unknown. I peaked in on Emmie, who was singing along with Sofia. I turned on some music from my phone. My favorite song by 3 Doors Down Kryptonite. It always made me feel calm & somewhat brave. I opened the first message. It read:

Did you really think you could escape me BITCH!

I swallowed hard. Trying to keep all signs of panic from being shown. I opened the next one.

I will find you & get what belongs to me. Once I do find you, you will be sorry you ever fucked with me.

I sighed & rubbed my forehead. I was already sorry I messed with him. Now he wouldn't go away. I opened the last message. It was sent early this morning.

STUPID BITCH!!!!! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A WHORE!

I kinda giggled to myself reading the last message. Not that its funny being called out of your name but I could just image his facial expressions when he use to call me those names. It was such a constant that it didn't bother me anymore. I was pulled from memory lane when Emmie ran in & started dancing her adorable way. I smiled at the fact that she didn't have any rhythm but it was still cute. She looked like she was having fun. I jumped up, leaving my phone on the sofa & started dancing the same way. It was rather fun & it took my mind off of those messages. I heard a knocking at the door. I figured it was room service. They are pretty quick. I danced my way over to the door. I opened it to find Roman, Dean & Seth stand there. I was taken back a minute. They stared at me as I stared at them. Seth holding a tray, I assumed was our breakfast.

STILL TRYING TO GET THE HANG OF HOW TO POST THESE.

SORRY IF THIS CHAPTER WAS BORING. I GOTTA BUILD TO THE GOOD STUFF.
